Detroit Lions @ Seattle Seahawks running diary - 4th quarter: Lions WILL lose

How do I feel about this game?

Schwartz losing his cookies

Hasselbeck starts the 4th by hitting a wide open Burleson for 25 yards, deep into Detroit territory.

Did you hear that? It was my hope dying for good.

Hasselbeck needs 4 yards for the 1st down, hits Burleson about a yard short, and he pulls Buchanon with him across the marker, signaling he has the 1st before he was even down.

Could a wide out rub it in anymore? Buchanon should be embarrassed. Hell, I'm embarrassed.No, I'm not. I'M LIVID! More with the Lions than Burleson...

But the drive stalls at the Lions' 6. Seattle faces a 4th and very short. And they are going to go for it.

No, the Seahawks are going to try and draw the Lions off...and motherfucking Landon Cohen went bit on it 1 second before the play clock ran out.

MORONIC doesn't even start to describe how dumb that play was by Cohen. Fucking idiotic isn't close

I HATE THIS FUCKING LIONS TEAM.

HATE

Amazingly, the Lions stop the Seahawks 3 times from short yardage, forcing another chippy FG by Mare.

The count is now 25 straight Seattle points since the Lions took a 17-0 lead.

Long-time freind of TWFE KirchInTheD just left a comment...

They ran a Lucy Van Pelt on us ... made us think we'd have something going in the first, then when we got excited and ran up to the ball, she (the Lions) pulled it away.

As good a description as any. I was sucked in...again, only to have the ball pulled away...again.

I'll never learn.

Lions start at their 31...Stretch play to Smith...he's got blockers...and Smith rumbles down to the Seattle 34! Longest run of the season for the Lions, but if Smith had any wheels at all, it would have been a TD.

On 3rd and 3, Stafford looks for Fitzsimmons...incomplete. But what the Hell? He was going to be short anyway. How hard is it to RUN THE ROUTE TO THE STICKS?

Hanson will have to try a 50 yard FG. He's gold, as always from long distance. The Seahawks streak of points end at 25. Lions still down 25-20.

Hey, it's something. Not much, but something.

On Hanson's kickoff, Forcett finds a gap...and Hanson has to bring him down just over the 50. Jeebus, does Hanson have to do EVERYTHING?

Now there's another injury...Hunter's down. Hell, he just came back!

Lions do force a 'Hawks punt, so the game is far from over.Wait...did I just say the game wasn't over? What the Hell, Al? Get a grip.

6:46 left, Lions start at their 11. Pass to Pettigrew gets a 1st down.

A Smith run, an incompletion thrown towards Megatron, and the Lions face 3rd and 9.

Stafford in the gun...has time..looks deep for Calvin Johnson...well underthrown...and it's pick number 4.

Shoot me. Put me out of my football misery.

Goggles do nothing

No, the goggles don't help

Now Delmas is hurt. What the FUCK?! At least he limped off under his own power.

Lions need to stop the clock, take a TO with 3:54 left.

3rd and 4, Hasselbeck converts on a pass to Branch. Lions have to burn another time out. 3:46 left. A short gain for Jones, Lions use their final TO. 3:41 left.

I've been titling at windmills in regard to the Lions for decades. But nothing changes. Not to get all philosophical, but...

Linkin Park

Clock stops. Christ, Manuel leaves the field holding his nuts. I'll reserve comment.

Lions do stop the Seahawks on 3rd down, but are now out of time outs. Seattle burns clock, get off the punt, it's downed at the 6 with 2:03 left.

Stafford looks for Megatron down the sideline, but it's overthrown into double coverage. Incomplete.

2 MINUNTE WARNING. I repeat...2 MINUTE WARNING.

1:57 left, Lions down 5, 2nd and 10 from the 6. Stafford to Fitzsimmons get 6, clock still running. Fitzsimmons again, at the 19, clock running, 1:20 left. Pass to Pettigrew at the 33, 0:56 left as Stafford  spikes the snap.

3 man rush, Stafford to Megatron at the 47. He clocks the ball, 0:40 left.

Stafford looks toward Johnson down the middle...incomplete. 3rd and 10, 0:35 left.

Stafford in the gun, play action, has time, looks left, throws outside as Megatron moves inside...and we have pick number 5. Wilson has nothing but green, takes it to the house. They add the PAT, and it's all over but the crying...and the last few seconds.

32-20 Seahawks is going to be your final.

Game over, man. Game over!

Game over, man. Game over.

Hey, I had to end this 3 hours of BS with something...

A cliche is as good as any...as the Lions losing games has also become quite the cliche.

Lions don't win another game all season. They essentially got their fluke game against Washington and will now lose to every team.

Josh, I see only one more shot for a win. The Browns game at Ford Field.

But the Lions are playing so badly, even beating the lowly, dysfunctional Browns is a long shot.
I cannot believe I get sucked in every time

When Eddie Murry lined up for a 42 yard field goal in San Fran and Monte Clark prayed on the sidelines, I knew the Lions were poised to make a long playoff run, a rare Murray miss later, my hopes were dashed.

When the Lions took a 3-0 lead in the NFC championship game back in the day, I started to believe, 41 redskins points later my reality was shattered.

After having a 17 point lead in the third quarter against the Packers in a rare Silverdome playoff game, I knew the Lions were headed to the Super Bowl, one Favre to Sharpe 45 yard TD later, I sat dejected in the first row of the upper deck contemplating my football existince.

After starting 6-2 and seemingly on the road to a playoff spot, I believed that the Lions were for real. Now 30 losses in the last 32 games, it is hard to think about how far away from respectable the Lions are.

What I am trying to say, not even for a second did I think that a 17 point lead on the road was safe. Too many years of let downs and disappointments. I expect it to happen and find myself suprised when things go our way. Wow are Lions fans a jaded bunch.
Final Thoughts

Since Al is probably too dispirited to write his normal "final thoughts" post, let me do it for him:

We Stink.

That about says it all.
