This season has not been fun for the Detroit Lions. Even knowing that they were unlikely to be contenders this season, this 1-6 start has to be considered a huge disappointment for even the most patient of fans.
But, personally speaking, you learn as a Lions fan to take enjoyment in other things when Detroit stinks. Chief among those other pleasures in life is when the Green Bay Packers fail. It may seem petty (it definitely is), but watching a franchise that has seen ridiculous amounts of success over the past 30 years struggle—and seeing an extremely spoiled fanbase finally wallow in self pity—can be healing to the soul.
