I didn't mean to go off, but being called a "troll" kind of pissed me off. I didn't come here to be an ass.
Well you've failed at all of that. Look at those expletives flying around. We can all read the anger in your text. U need to calm down there Sally. But yeah, u didn't come here to be an ass. Lol

Yeah, you're right. I did get a little upset when I got called a troll.

I'll calm down. Okay? I apologize for the excessive explicit language, even though I don't truly see why it matters. I don't see how swearing makes me an ass.

Now, do want to address the points I have brought up? Or are you just going to come after me personally?

If you think our defense sucks this year you are going to be sadly mistaken on Sunday.

34 to the Vikings, 21 and a loss to the Cards, and allowed 20 to a struggling Washington offense. Playing them down to the wire.

I don't buy for a second that your defense is improved, but maybe you're right. Maybe you guys will shut the Bears down on Sunday. Until then, I think it's the same Lions defense. A great front four, with a BAD defensive backfield that can get picked apart by any decent offense.

Don't go counting StAffords TDs to other teams. If MikeD and I don't get points in fantasy, you can't use em as a knock against our D.

Trolls don't last long!

You drop some F-Bombs and think anyone gives a rats ass about your opinion. You bring your shit here like a 14 year old and you wonder why people think you are an ass.

Swearing didn't make you an ass, your posts did that. Now troll back to your own board because you are every bit "that guy" who you've tried oh so hard to tell everyone you aren't. :finger:

I wasn't calling you a troll at all man. Your post, which was long, opinionated, well thought out, informed and negative in many ways towards the Lions, reminded me of many a Lions fan post. You see, Lions fans, in general, hate The Lions almost as much as most Bears fans hate em. Not because they actually hate em, but because they've been ruining more Sundays than not for most of their lifetimes. There's a decent chunk of the fan base who, IMO, actually want them to lose on a weekly basis just so their constant bitching can seem more rational. (Paragraph). Most of this board migrated over when CBS shut down, aside from Principal, he migrated over seas when he got caught watching TPaul watching. (Paragraph). How shitty do you think David Akers is? Is Linehan the worst OC in the league IYO?

Fair enough. I understand why a lot of fans would get that way. I've become hardened just by watching the collapses the Bears have pulled off the past two seasons. I could easily see where one would become that way after a lifetime of disappointment.

And as far as Akers and Lineham. Akers was once a great kicker, but I fear he's just past his time. Like Bears fans are with Gould now, you guys were spoiled with Hanson for a very long time.

Lineham, I truly would have to watch one of your guys games this seasons in its entirety to be able to give you a fair analysis. Which I'll be able to do on Sunday.

Linehan is much maligned in Detroit, I take it?

Tell me... what did I say in my posts that was so bad?

Hmm... that "you're team is bad and will fade". Or, was it one of the other points I made? Maybe it was when I said that "you guys will win on Sunday".

Nothing that I said is anything more than an opinion. I think you guys forget... YOU started coming after me. All I did was state my opinion. We all have them, why does mine make me an ass? I want to hear this.

I've said nothing that should offend you. Are you all seriously upset because I don't think your Lions are that great? Grow up...

I don't think anyone gives any more of "rats ass" about my opinion than you do. We're all just posting our opinions on a message board. What's wrong with posting mine?

Fine, I'll ask you too. What did I say that was so bad? "Your team isn't that good, and will fade down the stretch. Oh, and BTW, you're going to win on Sunday".

Then you all started calling me a troll and coming after me.

Hmm... who's the asshole again?

"OH NO! Another person doesn't the Lions are as great as I do! WHAT A JERK!" ... Grow up.

We could win out and people would still want Schwartz and Linehan fired.

Lets see...

Seriously, who the fuck runs this shit organization?

No one with half of a brain, ever bought into either of those teams. It's the same shit, you're a one trick pony

you guys STILL STINK

Serious Troll.

You either have no ability to discuss football or you are in middle school and think you are being cool.

well since you seem to be trying ill break it down for you.

you called out the lions for finally figuring out how to develop a run game. pissed on our 5-0 start, and blamed the entire team for a tough 2nd half record in 2011;
but completely fail to recognize how our 3-13 team lost half of its offense when jahvid best got his concussion and wasn't able to come back the following year. you also fail to acknowledge how best was key to trouncing your bears on monday night when he broke a 70 yard TD and set calvin up for big plays that game denoting it a win that was handed on a silver platter. hey thanks for being our bitch that year it was much appreciated.

things like "No one with half of a brain, ever bought into either of those teams. It's the same shit, you're a one trick pony" certainly indicate anger and troll.

and 'fade down the stretch' sure as hell isnt a comment one makes when intending to discuss the coming weeks action and explicitly implies a jackass who is coming around to start trouble and has no understanding of his team's own history handling expectations and completely failing.

so here is the deal either shut yer yap about how mean and defensive us lions fans are when you come in here spouting that crap or bend over and assume the position cause we have a lot of experience dealing with trolls.

What the hell is wrong with any of those statements?

"Seriously, who the fuck runs this shit organization?

Yeah, because NO WAY any of Lions fans haven't said that over the past half century. LOL

"No one with half of a brain ever bought into either of those teams. It's the same shit, you're a one trick pony."

Uh... I'm right. You guys weren't very good the past two years. What's wrong with this statement.

"You guys STILL STINK"

Yeah, that's my opinion.

What the hell is wrong with you people on this board? Ever you never heard an opinion different from your own before?

... and I'M CHILD? HA!

I truly don't get it. Is it the swearing that turns you off. I truly want to know. I can't even fathom how I'm being an asshole here.

You're the ones that started calling me a troll, simply because I said you guys would win Sunday, but you're not a good team. OH NO! HOW AWFUL!

Not to mention, I had my rant... and after you guys pointed out the excessive expletives in it. I apologized. It appears you're just looking for conflict.

I apologize if I offended you, your views on your team, etc... I'm sorry for it all.

Are we all better now? Or do I still have to answer to this crap?

Okay. Please do :)

you called out the lions for finally figuring out how to develop a run game.

Yes, I did.

pissed on our 5-0 start

Nope. The Lions did that to themselves.

, and blamed the entire team for a tough 2nd half record in 2011;

Who else is to blame? The cheerleaders? The fans?


but completely fail to recognize how our 3-13 team lost half of its offense when jahvid best got his concussion and wasn't able to come back the following year.

Jahvid Best hardly ever proved himself to be an efficient every down NFL back. Please. In his only full season, he started 9 games in 2010, and averaged 3.2 YPC.

The only thing he proved, was that he was injury prone.


you also fail to acknowledge how best was key to trouncing your bears on monday night when he broke a 70 yard TD and set calvin up for big plays that game denoting it a win that was handed on a silver platter. hey thanks for being our bitch that year it was much appreciated.

Why would I acknowledge something that acknowledge something that didn't have to do with the topic?

Oh, and WE were YOUR bitch that year? Lol... yeah, it sure looked like it during that 38-6 ASS kicking you got handed to you at Soldier Field. Either way, I digress. It's irrelevant.

things like "No one with half of a brain, ever bought into either of those teams. It's the same shit, you're a one trick pony" certainly indicate anger and troll.

and 'fade down the stretch' sure as hell isnt a comment one makes when intending to discuss the coming weeks action and explicitly implies a jackass who is coming around to start trouble and has no understanding of his team's own history handling expectations and completely failing.

*sigh*

Already been over this. I acknowledge my own team's short comings. Why can't you? I even predicted the Lions to beat the Bears this week. You act like I'M THE ONE who lost those late season games last year.


so here is the deal either shut yer yap about how mean and defensive us lions fans are when you come in here spouting that crap or bend over and assume the position cause we have a lot of experience dealing with trolls.

Are you people this delusional? LMAO

Here's the original post I made in the thread.

"You guys don't have a good team, and you'll fade down the stretch. But you will beat the Bears on Sunday."

OH MY LORD! BLASPHEME!

Then you people proceeded to call me an asshole and a troll. Not to mention, putting words in my mouth. ONLY THEN, did I respond harshly and backed my points in such a manner.

I'll say the same to you as the last guy. If you were offended by my rant, I apologize. I sincerely do.

Broncosmitty even said that all of the points I made in that rant are points Lions fans have been making for a while now. He even went as far as to say that I might be a Lions fan, because he's heard similar rants.

Why is it okay for one of you to say it, but not an opposing fan.

I get the feeling that the reason you guys are all reacting so much to this, is because I hit it on the head? Didn't I?

I hit it PERFECTLY. It strikes home with you Lions fans SO WELL, that it scares you. Especially coming from the fan of another team.

This is the only logical reason why most of you have declined to actually respond to the points I brought up, and instead decided to come after me personally.

way to ignore what i said

at no point did i mention that you were our bitch that year.
you first stated that our first 5 wins that year were handed to us on a silver platter. you were part of our first 5 wins. what would you call a divisional opponent handing your team first place on a silver platter on national TV? i simply commented on how submissive, agreeable and dog-like you team was that monday night 2011.

best wasn't supposed to be an every down back he did make the team much more consistent ala reggie bush and darren sproles. the saints are better with them than without and so were we with best and now with bush. a point you so conveniently proved when you juxtaposed the next game without him against the bears.

this argument is not about best though. this is about you coming over here making inflammatory comments on how we were going to stumble at the end of the season and then getting pissy when we jumped all over your ass because of it.
just because smitty pointed out a segment of cantankerous fans to you doesn't mean i argue with them any less nor does it give you carte blanche to be a jackass.

finally i wasn't saying you didn't know about your team's short comings just that your first post was derogatory and the antithesis of a troll who did not know about their team.

if i went over to the bears board and said
"i think suh will hit cutler so hard he breaks his insulin pump this weekend and your team will be exposed as one dimensional, but you will probably beat us this weekend"
do you think i would not receive any crap? i can tell you one thing i would be more prepared for the inevitable flame war than you were when you supposedly just came to talk about this weekend's game.

Have you got into the quality of our linebackers? Your Three year overview of our linebackers interests me right now. Joique Bell would be good to hear about too. And our Tight Ends. And Stafford. And if Larry Warford is bust or not yet. And... Shit I don't know. Are you cautious of Squirrels? Did you take theBears in the Steel City? (You were kinda tootin' your own horn with the all CAPS, but atleast you didn't underline bold and italicize it.)

... I can't tell if you're being serious, or being facetious with those questions. If you want my answers, I'll be happy to give them. But if you're being facetious, I rather not answer and continue this whole shit fest.

I have apologized to everyone here. I can't do much more.
