It’s great to see teams, and their fans, poised to get a taste of success!
I’m a Lion’s fan and cautiously optimistic. All I can think of is the hype that followed the Browns a couple of seasons ago. The world looked like their oyster, and then Baker was injured and everything went to hell. Same with the Raiders - everything looking good and then a new coach managed to run them into the ground. It’s any given Sunday (Monday or Thursday) out there so I’m trying not to get too hyped about this season.
I think the Jags take the Lions this year. Last year was just embarrassing.
Take the Lions as in beat overall record? Preseason? I mean, if it happens in the Super Bowl I won’t even be mad ✊
The reg season game last year felt sealed around the time James Houston got that nasty sack on Lawrence. Nasty as in the move he made for the sack itself was incredible, and honestly the result to Lawrence was nasty in a bad way even if the actual tackle/hit was clean. (obligatory: hard to believe we found Houston in the 6th round and he twice the sacks in 5 starts than Thibodeaux all season)
