Buckle Up, Honolulu Blue Fans: A Hilarious Look at the Detroit Lions' 2023 Schedule (Because We All Know You Can't Help But Look)
Ah, the Detroit Lions schedule. A yearly tradition as reliable as forgetting the milk on your grocery run, or accidentally calling your boss "mom" during a Zoom meeting. But fear not, fellow Honolulu Blue believers, because this year, we're taking a comedic approach to dissecting the Lions' 2023 slate.
What Are The Detroit Lions Schedule For 2023 |
The Early Grind: Can the Lions Avoid Getting Crushed by the Juggernaut Formerly Known As Their Reputation?
Let's be honest, the first few games are a doozy. We're talking facing Patrick Mahomes in his Mahomes-iest habitat (read: Arrowhead), followed by a healthy dose of Russell Wilson hoping to prove he wasn't the problem in Seattle. This is where the Lions' new-found optimism will be tested. Will they emerge victorious, or will they be left looking like a cat chased up a tree by a rogue Roomba?
Subheading: Side Bet Alert! How many times will Dan Campbell say "MCDC" during these first two games? Winner gets bragging rights (and maybe a participation trophy).
Tip: Look for small cues in wording.
The "Maybe They'll Surprise Us" Middle Stretch: A Carousel of Emotions and Questionable Calls
The middle of the season is where things get interesting. We'll see the return of Aaron Rodgers to Ford Field, which historically brings out a mixed bag of emotions in Lions fans (think excitement, dread, existential dread, and maybe a touch of schadenfreude). Then there's the always-intriguing trip to New Orleans, where the odds of questionable officiating and questionable late-night decisions by yours truly increase significantly.
This is where we, the fans, have to strap ourselves in and enjoy the ride. It's a rollercoaster of emotions, questionable calls, and enough "what ifs" to fill a stadium.
Tip: Keep your attention on the main thread.
The Home Stretch: Playoff Push or Fade Away Faster Than a Rogan Conspiracy Theory?
The final stretch is where things get real. Key divisional matchups, a rematch with the red-hot (pun intended) Bengals, and the season finale against the Vikings, a game that historically results in more heartburn than a week-old Thanksgiving leftover casserole.
Will the Lions be in the thick of the playoff hunt, or will they be fading faster than a trend on TikTok? Only time (and maybe a little bit of Matthew Stafford magic) will tell.
Tip: Don’t just scroll — pause and absorb.
