Until Ford sells the team they will never see a Super Bowl.
Since he has owned the team (1963) they have had more top 10 draft picks than any other NFL team.
Bring back Bobby Layne.

As a Lions fan…I could not agree more!

Finally a respectful fan of the niners!

I was at the game last year and it went to the wire… no reason to expect any different this time around. You guys have the best WR in the game, with a deadly QB. A top 10 Offense vs. a top 10 Defense. No reason for overconfidence on either side. Both teams are better today than they were the last time.

Let’s just be happy that both franchises have turned it around, and that this matchup could be indicative of a post-season matchup, as opposed to a lottery for the first pick of the 2013 draft.

Let’s hope for an injury-free game, and keep any pivotal decisions out of the hands of the refs.

Primetime, sunday. Fan or not, you gotta love it.

This is our home opener the crowd noise will be CRAZY!!!! This is also the best defense in the NFL that just shut down the Packers who have multiple receiving threats. The Niners run game goes crazy after multiple Stafford turnovers….27-17 Niners!

LOL! The amazing Alex Smith? 2 years ago, you wanted to run him out of town! 9er fans are as fickle as a little school girl.

You all are jumping the gun especially regarding the madden curse. Many guys didn’t get hurt until weeks 4 or 5. Now you woke a sleeping bear. Madden is up in his mansion pushing buttons to activate the Megatron Mangler. God speed Chris Johnson, may Allah be with you through these dark days.

As a Lions fan, I find it funny the vitreal most 9ers fans have against the Lions.

After last years game, the most comments on Lions posts the rest of the entire season – were from 9ers fans.

It is also funny how 9ers fans say “just stay home you don’t have a chance”! I am a realist (have to be when being a true fan and season ticket holder for this team since the 70s) and in no way predicting a win for my lions on Sunday. But games are played for a reason and if the 9ers are as overconfident as most of their fans, they could have a real coming back down to earth party Sunday night.

Either way, it will be a good game. And it’s only week 2!

Cj will get his yards perhaps a TD but at the end of the night he’s gonna wish he was not in that contest. Is effort? Futile as Optimus Prime is running
strong on all 3 cylinders and the end is the same.

Alex Smith is no Matt Stafford.
Can’t wait to serve these guys and watch Harbaugh really freak out. He looks like his head is going to explode every time he throws one of his little tantrums on the sidelines.

First off we don’t have the best WR corps but to say V.Davis is good wrong Davis has made more TD in last 3 years than any other TE or WR yes he is tied with Fitzgerald. So that makes Davis a complete stud now Moss is washed up he had a fantastic game Sunday especially considering he played limited snaps. Finally you don’t think crabtree is any good well instead of just talking out your ass you should actually watch a player. Cause if you did you would see Crabtree had a very nice game and he is 100% heathly and got to build some chemistry with smith. So think before you write because It just shows how Detroit don’t know anything as fans.

Niners fans : Niners will win, Niners receivers > Lions secondary, Niners D > Lions O, Niners beat Lions at one the road, now it is in SF!

If you were to point out one fan base in the multiple Niners-Lions threads that are a bit over confident or “full of themselves” it would be some (not all) of the Lions fans.

The Niners have a GREAT defense, but c’mon. Crabtree? Nothin special. Moss? Washed up. Davis? Hes good. Manningham? Come on man.

Thats a decent WR lineup, but the way the Niners talk is if they have the greatest show on turf.

The Niners probably will win in a close one, but Jim Harbaugh will always remain a whiny little girl.

Just kidding! Football is a brutal sport where injuries are part of the game. It is very rare for a player to go uninjured during a season. It just so happens that each year someone has to be picked for the cover and they get banged up. On another note C Johnson is a beast on madden.

When you have a $120+ contract, you can afford to see the best foot specialist in the world … Rex Ryan.

==================================

Usually the Rex Ryan foot jokes are overplayed and not funny. This one however was hilarious. Good one sir.
