The Burning Question: How Many Games Do the Detroit Lions Have Left (Before You Need a New Liver)?
Ah, the Detroit Lions. A team that inspires such devotion, it practically borders on religious fanaticism. But with that devotion comes a burning question every year (besides "is this the year?"): How many games do the Lions have left before they mercifully put us all out of our misery...er, I mean, before the glorious playoffs?
Fear not, fellow Honolulu blue and silver warriors, for I, your friendly neighborhood oracle (with a slightly unhealthy obsession with the Lions), have the answer! But first, a public service announcement:
WARNING: The following information may cause uncontrollable cheering, nervous sweating, or a sudden urge to buy a lottery ticket (because surely, after this much heartbreak, the football gods owe us a win, right?).

The Big Reveal (and a Handy Trick)
The Detroit Lions have a whopping 17 regular-season games left! Mark your calendars, dust off your jerseys (or, you know, buy a new one because #NewSeasonNewMe), and prepare for a rollercoaster ride of emotions.
Here's a pro-tip: Split those 17 games into smaller chunks. Maybe four-game increments? That way, you can celebrate each mini-victory (or mourn each mini-defeat) without getting overwhelmed by the sheer number.
QuickTip: Revisit this post tomorrow — it’ll feel new.
But Wait, There's More! (Because We All Know How This Goes)
Now, before you get too excited, let's be real. Lions fans are a hardy bunch, forged in the fires of disappointment. So, here are some additional things to keep in mind:
- There will be injuries. Key players will go down. This is practically a Lions tradition at this point. But hey, at least it gives the backups a chance to shine (or, you know, not so much).
- There will be questionable calls by the refs. Deep breaths, everyone. Deep breaths.
- There will be moments of pure, unadulterated joy. Because even broken clocks are right twice a day, and the Lions do occasionally pull off a miracle.
So You're Saying There's a Chance? (Yes, There Actually Is)
Look, nobody's saying the road to the playoffs will be easy. But here's the thing: the Lions could surprise us. They have a young, hungry team, and anything is possible in the NFL.
Tip: Focus on one point at a time.

QuickTip: Use the post as a quick reference later.
How to Deal with Ref-Related Frustration? Retail therapy? Meditation? A punching bag labeled "replacement ref"? All viable options.
How to Spot a Fellow Lions Fan in the Wild? Look for the haunted yet hopeful expression, the jersey with questionable stains (hey, stadium food is expensive!), and the nervous twitch that develops around game time.
How to Celebrate a Lions Win? Do a victory dance (even if you have two left feet). Call up your estranged relatives and gloat (they probably deserve it). Stock up on Honolulu blue and silver confetti, because you never know when you might need it.
