I became a Lions fan in '86 when my family moved to Michigan. In 91 things really started looking good. Hell in most of the 90s you could almost always count on the Lions pretty much winning the home games. I miss the Silverdome for that reason. The Lions seemed to win more home games there than at Ford Field. Ford Field, that's when the curse really sunk in for me.

The Folgers can; well, that was in accordance with what we think Donny's wishes might well have been.

William White.Originally posted by Newbomb Turk View Post
here's a recap from the Milwaukee Sentinel of that play. (One of the things that stood out was the statistical advantage of the Lions and how 'they couldn't stop us" ... Kramer had 248 passing yards. Laughed at numbers in today's NFL.
Cornerback Kevin Scott, on Sharpe's side, fell back with Sharpe for several steps but then let him go. Sharpe kept running along the sideline and Favre, who had been flushed from the pocket, scrambled left looking for West.
"But he didn't like anybody else," Mariucci said. "Great presence of mind."
The pass went 75 yards
As Favre scampered left his vision scanned the field. His eyes found Sharpe and, just as he had at New Orleans with a bomb in the final minute that set up the winning field goal, he released a bullet across the field.
The pass carried in the range of about 75 yards, coming down to the wide-open Sharpe perhaps seven yards deep in the end-zone corner. Safety William White, whose responsibility included the deep section of the field behind White, accepted the blame for not being there to stop Sharpe.

ANother awful lions memory in a long line of them....It was quite a throw by Favre though, but it was hard to believe how open Sharpe was.Comment

They couldn't stop them, Barry had something like 170 yards in that game. Kramer threw a terrible pick 6 when they were inside Green Bay's 10
I could have swore White was off the field. It was a busted coverage where the safety didn't provide protection over the top. The thing that still stands out for me was if anyone has a tape of this game, look at the play directly before the Sharpe TD. It was a carbon copy type play to Sharpe but Favre threw it out of bounds. On that play there was nobody over the top as well. Sharpe was all alone on two plays.Comment
