It was the end of the season for the Lions last night. Us long time Lion fans are really used to our season ending early. We have never been to a Super Bowl. We were two quarters away. The first half of last night’s game was all Lions. They couldn’t be stopped. We all knew they needed to play that way for two more quarters. Preferably six.
Unfortunately bad luck, dropped passes, fourth downs and maybe even the same old Lions syndrome all came together. Those last two quarters were a train wreck and we watched our lead slip away.
Gotta give it to the 49’s. They totally took advantage of the opportunity and they are now going to the Super Bowl.
Kinda like farming. Everything can be looking so good. Then a little bad luck. A breakdown. A bad decision and disaster.
That why we have another season. That’s why we look back and learn from our mistakes but don’t dwell on them.
One thing I have learned from 40+ years of farming. Every season is different. You can’t just concentrate on last year. You have to focus on the season ahead.
I’m sure a lot of old Lions fans are really blue today, but it’s time to put that loss aside and focus on the next season.
We went further than anyone expected. It was still a very good season and we have a very good team.
Like farming we are both playing for the Love of the Game.
Here’s to the coming season. Hope it’s a winner for both of us. Go Lions.

Yep, watched it and was thinking of you, like you said looked un beatable the first half, not so much the 2nd. :) Being a Titan's fan guess I am use to disappointment. :(
