8 game rebuild counts as feeling their pain? Is that pain because you haven't won a title since 2008? Maybe it's because you haven't had a losing season since 2003? You haven't felt shit. Please stop acting like that pain somehow is the same as ours.

I'm 43 and the 1991 NFC Championship feels like a lifetime ago. I think we have a real shot next year though. Five of our losses this year were by one possession. We beat Aaron Rodgers twice. It feels like a different mentality. A couple years ago, they wouldn't have won this last game in GB. They would have fucked up that 4th down conversion. Goff has totally changed my feelings on him from the start of the season.

After this season though, I think my Lions are on the upward. I've been a fan since the mid 80s when I was a kid. This is one of the toughest squads I've seen since the Sanders-era.

I think all the NFC playoff teams are glad they didn't make it. Yes, the Niners are good but with the momentum Detroit had, especially if Seattle had lost, beating GB would have been an unbelievable boost and they were going to be very dangerous.

I mean you're the one making the claim but telling someone else to provide your evidence. You should be the one backing up your claim and not just saying "I don't have the patience so you do my research".
