2017 Expectations

2017 will mark the 60th anniversary of the Lions last NFL Championship. For the last sixty years Detroit Lions fans have put up with mediocrity, stagnancy, and even down right embarrassment (here’s looking at you 2008).

The franchise has only won one playoff game since 1958. Two generations of Lions fans have only witnessed failure and futility. Enough is enough!

The fan-base is tired of treating the two regular season games against the Packers like it is the Super Bowl; they want to cheer for a real contender.
