What do you think of when you think of when you hear the words NFC NORTH? Most people probably start thinking things like a dumpster, landfill, septic tank, Asbestos, or Aaron Rodgers. The NFC NORTH is weird man, some years they open up the season looking like they're indestructible and others....... the opposite. It's been years of inconsistency that have driven fans crazy and honestly...... I love it. When I hear NFC NORTH, I think of Grit. This is the division that plays real football, not like those flimsy warm weather teams. During the beginning of the season some teams may stand a chance playing teams like the Packers and Bears (not Vikings) at home, but once the snow falls its a whole different ball game. That's when the Real Grit comes into play. Does a team like the Dolphins really want to come into Soldier or Lambo field in December and play in a game when the temperature is 20F? NOT A CHANCE. These open stadiums create an atmosphere and advantage like no other. Makes for AMAZING, GRITTY, NFC NORTH FOOTBALL.
So tell me this WHY THE FUCK DO THE LIONS PLAY IN AN ENCLOSED STADIUM? You know who designed Ford Field? Obviously someone who didn't know shit about NFC NORTH FOOTBALL. They probably thought to themselves "Well we played in a dome for this long, might as well build an enclosed building to give us zero home field advantage durrrrrrrrrrrr". Don't get me wrong, Lions fans have a special place in their heart for The Pontiac Silverdome, but in 26 years at the Silver Dome the lions totaled 8 winning seasons. Let me repeat, EIGHT SEASONS OUT OF TWENTY-SIX THAT THEY WEREN'T COMPLETE TRASH. Why try to recreate that when you could have started something new? The Lions should have 100% built an open stadium, the home field advantage alone would have been worth the money and saved so much heartache.
I make this same argument to Lions fans every year, but this year it hurt them more than usual. Last week we saw the Hall of Fame leg of Justin Tucker send a football 66 yards though the air to doink its way though the uprights and win Baltimore the game. This is one of many Lion's losses that could have been avoided if they didn't play in Fucking Enclosed Stadium.
Fun Weather Facts for Detroit 9/26/2021 (Day of Loss to Baltimore)
The Wind was blowing between 9-12mph coming from the South-South West. At the same time, Justin Tucker was performing his Record Breaking kick toward the Lions East End Zone. With that kind of wind Tucker's accuracy would have been reduced as the 9-12mph winds would have pushed the ball to his left, reducing his chances of kicking the field goal immensely. The Ravens honestly probably wouldn't have even tried the field goal at that point.
Think of all the times the times the Lions lost games because the conditions in Ford Field are too perfect, I wont even list them as it just makes me even more angry.
Letter to Dan Campbell
Coach, if you read this I want to let you know that you are the only person who has the GRIT to do this. To save you job and the future of the Detroit Lions, you need to personally cut off the roof of Ford Field. That would be the GRITIEST move a Lions coach could ever make and would probably land you in the NFC Championship within Two to Three years tops.
Say Something Nice
Watching the Lions is a Thanksgiving tradition.
Why do I keep reading this shit?
