OT: Controversial tweet by the Lions Aaron Berry

Submitted by MGoCooper on

This is why letting players on Twitter after a game is a bad idea. Clearly frustrated, he said something that he will never live down in this city.

I'm not really a fan of any particular NFL team, just an objective observer. I find it interesting how much shit we give Sparty fans about their team's lack of discipline and lack of class, then see how many of the same people support the Lions who continually display the same traits.

The Lions were the bad joke of the NFL, they were punching bag for years. Now they have their own attitude, whether it's dirty or not, they are finally getting out of the gutter and it seems not everyone can handle it. I would rather my team be known as rough or dirty then being the wet noodle that they were for years while everyone laughed and took advantage. People don't like them, then fine that just let's me know that the Lions are finally relevant.

He works for the fans believe it or not. We buy the tickets and if he is back I will not be. F his poor play and baby attitude. When people slam me I answer back, but usually to try to educate or correct my weaknesses. His twitter name should be fined by the NFL for conduct unbecoming to the NFL.

was the difference between a SUPERBOWL team and one on the verge...the Saints play exceptionally well at home and they have a lot of key veterans who have been there, done that...they are healthy, they came out the second half and adjusted well...keep in perspective....this lions organization set their own record...0-16 just a few short years ago..really they were in this game until the second half..and even then they were striding up and down the field...Stanton made some incredible throws and as stated, if the DBs would have made some EASY picks...different game...they did good and if they leave the Superdome HUNGRY who knows what next year will be.

I hope you are right but I don't think they are on the verge.  Every year about 5 or 6 teams make the playoffs and then fail to make the playoffs the next year.  I see the Lions as one of the teams that will not make the playoffs next year.  If they do something significant to upgrade the defense (like find their own Mattison), then maybe they can challenge for a superbowl in the next few years.

Also, i think you mean Stafford and not Stanton.

Gunther is a very good DC at this point.  Smith didn't even run to the ball after he got burned deep.  The team needs to get some attitude adjustments and a DC who can coach the guys to get off the field.

He's free to say what he wants - he just needs to understand that when you give up a record number of yards in your first playoff game, you are going to hear about it.  He's a big boy, and he already apologized.  Life will go on.  And I hate to say it, but as a Detroit-ish native (RO and Ferndale), not really bothered by the comments.
