Counting Appearances: More Scarce Than Diamonds in Detroit
So, how many times have the Lions actually graced the postseason? Buckle up, because we're about to enter an exclusive club. An exclusive club... but not necessarily the kind you want to brag about.
Here's the truth, folks: The Lions have only made the playoffs a measly 18 times in their entire 94-year history. That's an average of one playoff appearance every... well, let's not do the math, it might depress everyone.
Tip: Break long posts into short reading sessions.
But hey, at least they're consistent, right? Wrong. There have been stretches where the Lions haven't sniffed the playoffs for decades. You could raise a whole family, get a degree in astrophysics, and maybe even colonize Mars before they make another appearance.
Playoff Victories: A Glimpse of a Unicorn
Now, let's talk about wins. Winning in the playoffs? That's even rarer than a Honolulu blue snowstorm. The Lions have a whole whopping nine playoff wins to their name. That's compared to a gut-wrenching 14 losses.
Tip: Pause if your attention drifts.
So, what's the takeaway here? The Lions and the playoffs are like oil and water. They just don't mix very well. But hey, there's always hope, right? Maybe someday, just maybe, the football gods will shine down on Detroit and grant them a sustained playoff run.
Until then, Lions fans, we salute your unwavering loyalty. You guys are the true MVPs.
Tip: A slow, careful read can save re-reading later.
