The Detroit Lions have a magical ability for finding new ways to lose.
After a horrible call by the refs and an unnecessary review flag from Coach Schwartz, the energy in the stadium went from buzzing&excited to angry&frustrated with “Boooos” booming from every direction and rumbling inside my body. Every single time – from that moment on – that a ref was shown on the big screen, the boooos boomed again and the Lions never quite recovered, though they've started off with such energy, and even with the extra over-time to pull out a win. I felt like the emotional highs&lows of the game seriously beat me down. My brain felt like mush and my heart seemed to ache as we walked back to our car to drive home. Mr.U attempted to “say one thing then move on” from the loss, but we couldn’t help going through every horrible play and missed opportunity that led to the last-minute downfall and loss of our Lions. It was so incredibly frustrating and I needed a rest before dinner.
Someday… Lions, please win for us. These season ticket holders will love you through anything, but another winning season – with a playoff appearance – would be absolutely wonderful.
The halftime show was pretty funny, though - at least the people who were so excited to see it. I'd never heard the Detroit song Kid Rock played, but the effects were pretty cool. This big circle thing dropped down from the ceiling displaying images the whole time and the field was filled with female, youth dancers who had a pretty sweet routine. All-in-all, it was a great game with a good halftime show and an anything-but-good ending.
