Perhaps the most prolific phrase in the entire state of Michigan in December is “Same Old Lions.” The slogan has become so pervasive for Detroit Lions fandom that it can be used in just about any situation for the pessimists among the fanbase. The Lions mounted a comeback and lost on a last-second field goal. Same Old Lions. The Lions got blown out. Same Old Lions. The Lions didn’t get aggressive enough in the draft or failed to take on calculated risks in free agency. Same Old Lions. The Lions traded up and grabbed a receiver coming off an injury.
