There isn’t a more patient fanbase in professional sports than Detroit Lions fans. It’s been 64 years since a championship. It’s been 28 years since the last home playoff game and 29 years since this team’s last playoff win.
No one would excuse a Lions fan for giving up at this point, and I’m sure plenty have. But for those who have managed to stick around through it all, an 0-4 start would be plenty of reason to get cynical, drop the Same Old Lions line, and move one with the rest of their fall.
But Lions fans are showing a tremendous amount of faith these days.
