Apparently nuance and observation aren’t allowed. It’s not that they lost the game, it’s that they lost MORE important people on defense. But apparently some of you are too dense for nuance.
@ three MORE defensive starters. How is this so hard to understand. CB1, CB3, and a DL. Take a look at the IR report and then come back and explain that you don’t know how to read.
I’ve been a Lions fan all my life. When Hutch went down I told my wife there was 2 players the Lions couldn’t lose if they wanted to win the Super Bow. One was Goff and the other was Hutch. I still see a path for the Lions to get to the SB and win it all. But it’s a very narrow path. This is just reality.
This is the most back peddling nonsense I've ever heard. Two days ago was "its over!" and now its "we meant they arent the favorites and we have no idea who's saying 'its over'". Lol.
BIZARRE open. Both of you acknowledge their expectations have rather plummeted from SB lock to in a bucket with 8-9+ teams… Yet their takeaway is they are confused & upset the team is taking an us vs. everybody approach? Might be their worst open in show history. Makes 0 sense lmao
Theyre talking to you guys and all the other miserable blokes who said the season was over in the 2nd quarter in all the chat forums (bleacher report for example). But literally you, Mikey.
So Mike saying he "HOPES" they win is him saying the season is over? Lmao...we love trying to be victim detroit fans. You know nobody here gave up. We all hope we win it. I don't think we will win it anymore because of the injuries...if you think that is me saying "I hate our team I'm not watching anymore !!" Then ok..but just because i went from we should definitely win to...I just hope we win. Doesnt mean I'm not a fan lmao. So shutup
Bro it’s ok to say their chances of winning the SB went down when these injuries happened.. no one’s rooting against them but there will literally be different players on the field on Sunday in Chicago
@@robe9075 it’s wild how divisive “fans” are nowadays, it’s like being on Reddit when you come here, especially on the Valenti, either you say everything is wonderful and perfect or you’re accused of being a hater even when you bring up a legitimate point.
why did you spend 11 minutes on this? theyre obviously talking to the people who are saying we probably wont go far because there are too many injuries.
They are talking to the media who the moment the team loses a game, the conversation immediately switched to "we aren't winning the super bowl" Yes of course the injuries are tough but no one knows how this season is ultimately going to end. When hutch went down Mike you said they are not winning the super bowl, then they go out and win 7 more games in a row and you say they are back to winning the super bowl. Then when they lose again and have more injuries it's back to they aren't winning the super bowl. I agree they have to show us how they play but let's cut the nonsense when we say that saying "I don't think they will win the super bowl" isn't the exact kind of thing the coaches and players are referring to. It's not about kissing up to these teams and pretending everything is good, it's just saying that they will have to show us on Sunday why they should still be looked at highly. Valenti is a smart guy but this playing dumb bit is just dishonest
I used to like Valenti back when the lions were terrible cause he would tear into them and it was like he was speaking for us,but now that they're good he's lost
The last year and a half has been a tough listen. I haven't been listening as much, but I do still listen because sports is my life and what other sports talk options from 2-6 do we have?
Glenn is talking to his defense. Us vs. the world is a great motivational tool for the team. Vegas has Lions as co-favorites to make Super Bowl. From NFC.
So stupid! All platforms go people saying dumb stuff! But they were ask the question! How they responded was fine! Mike and Rico just needed a topic and it was such a stupid one! Try harder fellas!
I’ve listened to these guys for years and years. I would never tell Mike or Rico what to do, but on this particular issue they are drifting further and further on an island of one. I heard Valenti repeatedly use the phrase, “I’m terrified!”, prior to a game. Some players were injured and we lost Aidan. We went in to Molly whop the next team and it wasn’t until later in the following week that he brought the phrase out again and we curb stomped the next team. I had a case of Vagisil in my Amazon cart I was going to send to 97.1 c/o Mike Valenti and later felt foolish. This was about a month ago, prior to listening to this. In my humble, dumbass Lions fan opinion, I feel like you can’t have it both ways Mike. You can’t lambaste SOL fan mentality for years and now try to moan that nobody feels like you, Rico et al. I’ll always rock with you guys, but it is especially ironic to hear you guys try to spin this with the grace of a White House Press Secretary and say things like, “ I think they need to look in the mirror” Happy Holidays. Let’s all TRY to keep things as upbeat and positive as we can, for this final stretch. This shit is obviously seeping into our player’s heads. And we absolutely cannot have that. Forward down the fucking field.
I’ll take a practical approach and say whether or not to doom and gloom after this upcoming game, I’d wager their hyping themselves up due to the fact that their DL is completely shredded and Caleb Williams if he has time is lethal. The Bears almost won last time if Eberflus wasn’t a dipshit and now we go to them. I agree with you Mike that it’s not Doom and Gloom to say this team isn’t going to the Super Bowl, it can be done, but A LOT has to go right. I’d also wager they don’t want fans to not buy tickets if they think the ship is sinking and the Fords lose money. These next three games especially against the Vikings will tell us a lot about what to expect on how this team does in the playoffs
I love how this show thinks they are responding to their comments. How narcissistic are you to think the Lions coaches care what 97.1 thinks. They can motivate anyway they choose but I can promise you it’s not because this radio show has changed its tone. Just talk football. They don’t care.
Arron Glen was asked about the sky falling. His response was we’re 12-2 and you think the sky is falling. Reporters in those press conferences are idiots.
What happened to "this season was taken from you", "you'll be lucky to get past the first round", "if you want to be delusional and still think you can win, this isn't the show for you"?
SOL Valenti. I usually love this show, but its literally impossible when all they do now is talk about the demise of the team that is 12-2 and picked to win this week. Its like listening to manic depressives talk about their future. Might have to wait an see amirtite?
So now they not the favorites huh Mike? Even though they still ELITE with injuries Btw all our young core we drafted getting healthy by the day 😂 You pick us to win it all right Mr. NY
Vegas disagrees with you, when someone says a team or player is the favorite to do something, they are simply stating who Vegas thinks is the betting favorite. Take off your Dan Cambell glasses and actually pay attention to what someone is saying rather then just hearing what you want to hear.
What are these guys on? So many people have said "the season is over" and "they don't have a shot anymore." That might not be the majority of people, but it's still quite a lot.
I think you know who they’re talking to. It’s the talking heads and doubting fans who literally think the season is over because of the loss to Buffalo AND the rampage of injuries. I don’t think anyone is saying the sky is falling and I hate that expression. I feel like they’re not talking to you guys. I feel like they’re talking to fans & talking heads who think they’re done. And they are out there. Just watch ESPN. The guy on ESPN with Chris Simms picked the Bears to win…That’s who AG & Penei are talking to. People who say the Packers are the best team even though we beat em twice once with no defense no Alim. They’re talking to people saying the season is over.
You guys think you’re talking reality but you fail to acknowledge that the Lions have been having injuries the whole season and only lost 2 games. Please keep telling me your version of reality because I won’t give up on the Lion’s but two guys who aren’t even Lion fans voice their opinions. Lion players have to stay positive so forgive them for not agreeing with you. 😂
@Mike and Rico due to the record and the tie breakers we are still the favorites. These bozos in national media one week they are on board the next week they jump ship. That’s who Aaron and Pene talk about
Except they didn't arbitrarily jump ship one week. They jumped ship specifically because of the amount of injuries and specific individuals who got hurt. And i wouldn't call it "jumping ship" at all for people to simply say the Lions are #2 best team in the NFC now because of the key pieces they lost that had previously put them above Philly. Losing starters especially All-Pro caliber players makes you a worse team, it's not Doom and Gloom or Jumping Ship to acknowledge that.
Mike, who is your drunk hairdresser, and what's her name? Do you need me to line that up properly. The top looks great though. We should wait to talk about the Lions S.B. chances til playoff time. So many things can change between now and then.
If you watched the Michael Jordan thing on Netflix you may have picked up on how Jordan continued to find reasons to find extra motivation to be his best. It’s the same concept that Dan and the lions are doing. They are bottling up that negative energy and building off of it. Not a bad strategy to motivate
If AG doesn't understand people thinking the sky is falling, then maybe he ought to look at the last game with the Bills. The Bills laid 48 points on his defense.
yeah they lost, it happens, yeah it was by far the worst game this year, now if they lose out then you can have doom and gloom, going from the 1 to 5-6 seed is doom and gloom, more football is to be played, they have toi step up, rally, keep some faith, and what if the eagles lose and the vikings lose, different world if that happens.
@@dexdorrey9834 and your tic tac brain tells you they don’t see this? Do you not understand we are in a position as fans to feel 12-2 right now. Our team is not happy with it at this moment which is another flag that this culture is built different. Vikings maybe have a chance only because of our depleted defense but I’ll back every players heart 3rd 4th string whatever against a complacent Vikings team now. This lions team is not rattled the way you think couch player.
@@josephapollo5438 Not sure what any of that has to do with me or what I said. I simply pointed out that if the Vikings win out the lions are the 5 seed, because the way the OP wrote his post I wasn’t sure if he realized that. And that’s factually correct so I’m not sure how that means I have a tic tac brain or what any of your post has to do with what I said.
I’ve actually been listening y’all all week and I would have thought season was over based on your content
This dude literally said we went from guarantee chance at Super Bowl to less than 10% chance. Sounds like doom and gloom to me
Apparently nuance and observation aren’t allowed. It’s not that they lost the game, it’s that they lost MORE important people on defense. But apparently some of you are too dense for nuance.
@ we lost 3 players. How does that logically equate to a 90% decrease in confidence 😭
