I went to a Lions Thanksgiving game when we were 6-2 IIRC, paid $600.00 a piece for 4 tickets. I knew this was our year! Lions went on to win 1 more game the entire year and never made the playoffs.
We are now building to win in late Nov., Dec., Jan., and Feb.
So it was your fault then.

Sure felt that way. At least I lost $2,400.00 on tkts, plus a hotel room, a few meals and cocktails. So all in all, if you want to know how to waste $3K in a day, and ruin the Lions season: Iām your guy.

We thought we had made it after the Shaun Rogers int touchdown return to make us 6 and 2ā¦and thenā¦1 and 7ā¦ And then the next year 
Pete Carollās āprimeā Seahawks teams also left a hangover for the opposing teams.
Does anyone else remember when the Seahawks ROOKIE punter ācalled his own numberā to run a fake punt out of his own endzoneā¦at Ford Fieldā¦to seal the game against Fatty Matty?
āSeattle punter Michael Dickson ended up tucking the ball, scrambling in the back of the end zone, and then running forward for a first down, sealing the Seahawksā victory. A āgutsyā call by Pete Carroll? Not really. It just so happened that the Lions were so unprepared for Dickson to keep the ball that they didnāt defend a potential fake so when the rookie punter saw his opportunity to end the game, he took it.ā
