Breaking: Detriot Lions Become Favorite Target for FS1 Talking Heads
For most of my life, most of your life and most of anyone you knows life, the Detroit Lions have been the NFL’s pin cushion and a laughing stock with a dose of occasional dysfunction mixed in. That is no longer the case, with a 9-1 record this season and one of the league’s best records since about halfway through the 2022 season. And the Lions look like a sustainable contender.
The Lions have been subject of some criticism for doing what good teams do to bad teams three times this season-beat them handily, and in rare fashion. For some reason, the Lions should apologize for making feeble teams look feeble.
Overall, the Lions having success is something a section of NFL fans, analysts, etc. can’t handle, and will never be able to handle.
Earlier this week, on FS1’s “First Things First”, co-host Nick Wright offered up an awful take about Jared Goff in his effort to dismiss the idea the Lions are the best team in the NFL.
“I don’t think you can be the best team in the league when you have a civilian at quarterback. I can’t say a team with Jared Goff at quarterback is better than the Chiefs or the Bills. I can’t. I won’t. In the modern NFL, I think it’s very hard to win three straight playoff games with a guy, even if it’s a good guy, at quarterback. That’s what I feel they have. You can be mad. That’s my opinion on the Lions.”
