My Wretched Team (NFL)


Recommended Posts

Oh the humanity!!  My Wretched Detroit Lions are a horrid team this year...yet again.  Aaron Rodgers is presently ripping them apart, yet again.  Offense is putrid, defense has no secondary as usual...blah blah blah.  Ugh!  Anyone else stuck with permanent, perennial losers?

It could be worse, you could live in Chicago like me

Ah, the Oilers...Earl Campbell, still one of my all-time favorites.

I'm from Hawaii.  Everyone and their mother jumped on the Titans bandwagon last year w Mariota.

Inheriting all of my father's teams left me with the Oilers.  I've been a fan from when they were in Houston, Moon, L White, E Givens, B Matthews.  Bills and Frank Reich... With the lone bright spot culminating in Dyson and the death of the MC miracle.  Seen a lot... Mostly forgettable... At times painful..

Recently, choosing V Young over Fischer left me cringing.  Doubt any coach could keep a team competitive with E George perennially averaging 3 and change per carry but him.  

TLDR: Titans fan.  I know pain.

Philadelphia teams all trying to climb their ways back onto the map!....really....all four major sports!  It does feel we may be on the verge of relevance again! Don't love being news-worthy for the wrong reasons....the last several years have been interesting but, disappointing! (Chip Kelly!) Howie's moves this off-season were eye-catching....Carson looks like the real deal.  2-0 but, lets see what comes when the Eagles play a real team.  Steelers should be a real test.  Was in the park (both nights) when our Phillies brought home a champions trophy in '08...seems like an age ago!

The Bears do have their problems this year no doubt.  They have been to the top though, and they've won their share of playoff games, I think the Lions have won one playoff game that I can recall.  Hehe...Misery loves company, I'll see ya when our teams play one another!

Miami offense is like watching a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. This is my dream; this is my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight razor, and surviving.

-apocalypse now or Miami 2016 - you decide.

but hey, we're up on the Browns...

Yeah, Phily isn't looking too bad this year so far.  I agree about the steelers, Big Ben Cheeseburger knows what he's about.  And wasn't McNabb still playing back in '08?

As a long time Raiders fan, I'm well used to mediocrity and disappointment. This season, however, I think Derek Carr will take us to the playoffs. Fingers crossed!

I had an Earl Campbell wristwatch in kindergarten.  Have his autograph somewhere...

How have Miami fans taken to Suh?  He was a beast in Detroit, but I don't think he ever intended to stay.

As a Lions fan, I've learned to NEVER even think the word "playoff".  :blink:

I'm soo happy Cutler is out for the season I could just s#$t. A f$%^king one eyed monkey for a QB would be better than him. Not kidding BTW...

 

Rant over.

Oakland Raiders fan here. Historically, a very successful team, but they went mediocre around the time I became old enough to really follow them, then they had a small run of success in the early aughts, and they've been putrid since a losing trip to the Super Bowl following the '02 season. Hopefully, things are looking up again.

Sportswise, I have little to complain about. For my first 28 years, none of my teams won anything. Then my SF Giants won 3 World Series' in 5 years, and even my GS Warriors, a perennial joke, won a title. NHL is 4th out of the big 4 for me, but the SJ Sharks have been competitive for many years now. Just waiting on the Raiders now.

Knew Cutler was injured, but didn't know it was season ending.

Don't have a NFL team I follow, only college, but I can't speak badly about the Lions. I have Marvin Jones Jr. on my fantasy team (and sadly Golden Tate too). 

Jones has been a pretty good pick-up...won't be enough to change things for the Lions though.

I think you'll be alright Mr. Garman, the Giants have a history of winning and a good organization.  Whereas the Lions...have defined losing and poor organization all the way to the top.  Ugh!
