The most daunting task for the Lions is to finally get a win in Green Bay. There are those of us who remember Erik Kramer getting the job done in 1991. Sadly there are many that were not even alive yet, Some of them play in the NFL today.
There’s no doubt that this eats Lions fans alive every year. When the schedule comes out, fans circle this date as a must watch game in hopes that this is the year. conversely there are fans out there that would rather take the day to do anything else so they don’t have to witness the Lions lose in Green Bay yet again.
In a recent poll we held on our Twitter, the results were quite obvious. This is the most desired accomplishment that Lions fans want to see other than a Super Bowl win.
There is a thought out there that this is the Lions curse. The idea is that the Lions have had many curses and this is the last remaining one. Once the Lions win in Green Bay, they will contend for a Super Bowl that same year. I think the realistic outlook is that the Lions have simply not been better than Green Bay since 1991. Can the Lions finally break that streak in 2015?
What do you think? Are there any obstacles that were left out? Be sure to leave your comments below.
