Imagine how those of us who have been fans since the 70s/80s feel..
2010-2021? Try the late 90s and early 2000 brother.
lil bro is 12 years old
2008 was a true test of fandom for me.
Thats actually me looking at the OP
I’ve been through the 2008-09 season when we won 0 games….
We got Leigh Bodden for Shaun Rogers. I thought we got a shutdown corner but it turns out that all he did was shutdown a Chad Johnson (near washed) twice with the Browns the season prior. That season was a disaster from the first snap… where Rookie Matt Ryan got a td on his first ever throw/play.
Some of you are really young. You missed the Joey “The Savior” Harrington era. I was convinced he would be great.
I’m 40. So I went through the 90s, 00s, and 2010s.
I would never wish that on younger Lions fans.
I saw a dude with a newborn baby after the Green Bay game, he held up the baby and said “He only knows the Lions as a good team. No 0-16 trauma!”
Everyone who was around for 2000-2009 looking at OP
I was 21 in 2008.
Pal, you are the young Lions fan. I was watching as a kid in the 90s and IM a young Lions fan. People have been SUFFERING.
2010 lol. oh you poor old man !
We’ve been good for two years.
How are we already gatekeeping our lions fan base.
Pfffttttt me reading this post “Fuc$ ing Rookie”
Fuck this gatekeeping mindset. Just enjoy it man
Yeah I know that’s our problem not there’s. I welcome every new fan the more the merrier right? The Ford’s deserve every good thing that comes their way if you ask me. They got Ford Field built. They have been investing heavily in the Lions. Now we’re seeing the fruits of all that investment. Not just money but time is being devoted towards the city and people of Detroit and the state of.Michigan. welcome aboard I say glad to have you let’s make some noise and make sure the country hears our roar.
Try 1976
2001 to 2008 were the darkest years known to mankind
I’m guilty but it feels good.
lol you didnt even experience the millen the years
2010-2021 wasn’t even that bad, Stafford and CJ at least made them entertaining.
lol. Try 2000-2010
Are we really gatekeeping the pain of Lions fandom? I think there’s more than enough to go around.
Everyone should be able to jump on board the bandwagon, it’s just sweeter for those of us that have been around for the lowest of lows.
Gatekeeper nonsense
How about 2008? I watched every single game that year. Nothing will ever be that bad.
I’m a new lions fan. I’m new to football really, I deserve none of the success this team is having right now
Rofl young fans, you are a young fan my dude. I watched Barry and lived through Scott Mitchell and Jon Kitna. We watched incredible players get wasted by inept coaching. You my friend got the easy part. You got a playoff game with Stafford, you had Suh and Megatron.
*laughs in 07-09*
“Looking at young fans” bro’s not even 20
Unless you remember Eric Hipple as QB then I don’t want to hear how you lived through the bad times.
Joey Harrington squad 💪
Born in 74.
Cries in Sanders and Spielman.
The gatekeepers of Fandom over here. Let them in.
Try 2008
I got called a bandwagon fan for the lions at work recently… we no longer order jimmy johns together
I attended my first game as a kid in 1991 (the Mike Utley game)

No. I don’t want that for them.
