Here are some the other complimentary tweets from Lions’ players:
Quarterback Matthew Stafford
“Just want to say thanks to all the fans for all of the support and a great year. We will be back. #GoLions”
Defensive end Lawrence Jackson
“Lions Nation. Thanks for the diehard support all year. Love you guys wouldn’t trade you for any other fans. #LionNation #LJSP”
Linebacker Justin Durant
“I appreciate all of the support this yr frm u guys…sorry it ended this way more motivation for nxt season.”
Safety Chris Harris
“I want to say thanks to all the true #Lions supporters and fans. You guys have been great and I am truly grateful for u guys support.”
Defensive end Cliff Avril
“Tough lose def don’t want the season to end but we def have something to build off of for the years to come…”
Defensive tackle Nick Fairley
“Shout out to all the LIONS fan for the love and support this year “GO LIONS”
Tight end Tony Scheffler
“All the support makes this a little easier to swallow, thank you. Next season can’t come soon enough. #lionblood”
Detroit was heading to the airport after its loss. Many of these tweets were sent in the locker room immediately after the game and on the team bus.—mlive .com

But now with the Lions’ loss, it’s time for the media and troll fans of lesser teams to bag on them. Have fun! There’s only one team that raises the Lombardi this year. The rest of them will be losers, too, and most are in far worse shape than the Lions.

They seemed to forget how to play football after that. Or they just gave up like the heartless bunch that they have proven to be this year.

It was a missed call. But you also, other than two fumbles, didn’t stop the Saints all game. they torched your defense and your secondary. your offense had its moments, but was also inconsistent. When the first thing a coach has to say publicly is blaming the officials in a game that really wasn’t that close in the second half, then you can guess what he was saying behind closed doors – teams take their cues from their coaches. when coaches are ready to blame everyone else for a loss, the players will do the same. and those are the teams that will struggle to ever consistently win the big games, because those teams can be great when things are going well, but they will be unable to handle any sort of adversity. looking back at the lions season, that appears to be exactly the type of team they are and it starts at the top.

In fact, a majority of these simple-minded NFL players (who had no business going to college) will end up bankrupt due to mismanagement of money.

I don’t care what someone says on Twitter. It’s not some official press release; it’s a random thought that happens to come to a guy who’s probably in a terrible mood because he lost a game. What kind of a world do we live in where a DeSean Jackson tweet that makes no grammatical sense is shown on NFL Network and morons like Jamie Dukes and Warren Sapp try to decipher it for half an hour and conclude he’s unhappy about his contract.

The difference, is those people tend to have careers lasting more than 3-4 years.

Unless he lives off of 75k per year he will find out what broke and miserable really means in 5 years when he is selling cars or insurance or living with mommy and daddy.

Dont believe me? Ask Chris McAllister

A lot of changes need to be made for this team to take the next step and almost all of them need to be on the defense. Their Offense is pretty good but it can’t be expected or required to score 40 every game to win. A little help from the defense would be nice..

How many times can Matt Stafford close his eyes and throw an “Eli” off his back foot to Johnson? Not enough to win in the playoffs. Also, I guess no one is allowed to touch Stafford, because ever they did he came up talking trash, and whining for a call. Stay classy Detroit…now you will have all the time in the world to drive your Chrysler 300s!

I did miss type there, you are correct. I guess even though Denver is in, I mean really. That being said I really hope Pittsburgh loses. I respect the team, but cant stand big Ben.

Had the Lions not lost to Matt Freaking Flynn and the GB Jayvee team last week, they would be in mild New Jersey today with a helluva shot to advance to next round.

Pathetic loss last week.

More pathetic was how that loss was never mentioned last night by the experts in the booth.

This kind of attitude flows downhill. Jim Schwartz must be a big time excuse maker in the locker room for his players to think it is OK to talk like this.
————————————————–

You obviously didn’t listen to his post game presser, did you?
He was highly critical of his defense, especially his secondary.
The Lions will make defensive improvements in the offseason. If they are significant improvements, they will be an absolutely lethal team next season and for years to follow.
