What’s your favorite posting style?

Eternal Optimist - Those who believe Deeeetroit MF’n football is where it’s at, and that Detroit is the sports Mecca of the universe.

Negative Nancy - Very negative, and Veeerry Nancy. These people incessantly bitch, and usually fill posts with the depths of the most bleak bowels of hell. Their language is typically highly emotionally charged and trying to pick a fight with someone, so they can vent. This type of poster is venting and cycling feminine energy constantly. Rarely are they logical in their approach.

The football geek - These people are freaks of football knowledge. They are highly informative, and great resources in helping to understand the game, understand why someone will/won’t fit into our system, etc. Often times, these people cross over into Historian, as well.

The Historian - People who remember games from 40 years ago than a typical guy remembers breakfast. These people are likely to cross over in to stat junkie and football geek. They can tell you which defense we ran, where our blitzes came from, which losses we had to which team in any year that happed between now and when they were six years old.

Stat geek - These people know player stats better than a draft magazine. They can remember where the top 100 picks form the last 20 years went to college, what they were coming out of college, and what their rankings were between the day they were drafted and the day they retired.

Armchair QB A - This person is a football superfreak. Likely to have played higher level football. They understand schemes, who fits them, coaching styles, etc at a level far beyond average fandom. They likely wanted to go pro since before the womb, and the obsession only deepens, as they live symbiotically through their favorite players and coaches.

Armchair QB B - These people think they know more than all other fans, all coaches, all GMs, and God. They believe it in their heart, and it’s impossible to chat with them, because they already know everything. There is their opinion, then those who are wrong.

*Many people have some of 2 or 3 styles to them, while others are hard-core entrenched into their own space.

Nancy that’s on the rag. I’ve had it with this team and I hate it when people defend the ownership, front office and staff. I dont dislike any posters perse, but I simply cannot defend consecutive last place finishes and say outlandish things like “give them more time”. In my profession, if your department gets worse after 4 years, the manager goes bye bye. Blaming the refs and injuries can be done by exactly 31 other NFL teams. It happens EVERYWHERE. The problem is, we aren’t good at the things we can control like drafts, trades, signings or coaching. I’ll always call it out and disagree with people who want to be patient or pump sunshine.

I fall in two categories but can’t find them in your list:

“Often certain, rarely correct” as I reason things out but am proven each that no amount of reason can be applied to this team.

“Cybil” as I switch between the confident poster who’s figured things out to heartbroken, confused fan by Sunday night.

I’m Armchair QB B, dick and an ex womanizer, and not proud of it. I apologize in advance if I upset anyone, but I rarely post so. What I wish I was is fair weather fan/poster, I really do. If anyone has any tips on how to become a fan weather fan please share. I’m guessing the fair weather fans ran for the hills after the GB loss - smart.

Great list Bro!

My struggle with forums is I find myself wanting to always tell the negative nancy they are wrong. :nerd_face:

Mostly because if they are right, then Lions football is going to suck for a very long time…and that is not something I want to deal with…enough already.

I suppose i am Armchair B…:man_shrugging:

Tell me about it. I was giving my old man a hard time at the game sunday bc I was born in San Francisco and moved to michigan as a 12 year old. My entire mom’s family were niner fans. The niner fans have seen 3 builds and two seperate Super Bowl Runs. This last rebuild is still to be determined…but 3 rebuilds…and we have seen nothing in the same time frame.

Oh your good bro. If you can’t laugh at this shit…

Understanding, reasonable, self-deprecating loser who accepts his football team will NEVER do anything good.
