Wayne Fonts is the only guy to make the Lions consistently good during all the years I've watched the NFL They routinely got to the playoffs with him and even made the championship game. Of course it helped that he had the best RB in history (IMO) running the ball but he also had guys like Kramer at QB.
I've often wondered if they'd somehow managed to beat Washington in the championship game... imagine that, Bills Vs Lions in our second SB. We might have actually won one!
Man, we think we've had it tough as fans. Those Lions diehards deserve medals for the way they continue to support their team. I actually feel a sort of spiritual connection with them. This is why I always pull for them (unless they're playing us). Those fans deserve good things to happen to them. If I had to pick a second team I'd definitely pick Detroit
