Lions fans, we need to talk. I’m not here to sugarcoat anything. I’m not here to offer empty promises or hollow hopes. I’m here to tell you that next season is going to be different, but only if you show up. And I mean really show up.
As we look ahead to the next season, it’s time for a shift in mentality. I’m not just talking about the team, I’m talking about you—the Lions fans. You guys have been through the ringer. You’ve been through seasons of frustration, heartbreak, and hope only to be let down again. But it’s time for a change.
If we’re going to be a force to be reckoned with, we need you to bring the heat. This is the brutal assignment: I need you to ROAR. I need you to bring a level of energy, passion, and commitment that has never been seen before. Your roar should shake Ford Field and send a message to the entire league. The Lions are no longer a team to underestimate. The Lions are a team that strikes fear into every opponent that steps onto that field. And that starts with you.
I’m not asking for casual support. I’m not asking for you to show up when it’s easy. I’m not asking for just a “hey, we’re here” kind of attitude. No. I need you to be relentless. I need you to be the 12th man on the field, bringing an intensity that rivals anything you’ve seen in the NFL. I need you to be loud. I need you to be proud. I need you to believe—really, truly believe—that we’re not just here to play, but we’re here to win. We’re here to make some noise.
You’ve seen the potential of this team. You’ve seen the grit, the heart, and the talent. But potential means nothing without action. And that action has to come from every corner of Detroit. When we’re out there on the field, we need you to bring the roar—whether it’s 1st and 10 or a critical 4th down. Whether we’re up by 10 or trailing by 10. We need that fire from the stands, from your couches, from every corner of the city. I’m telling you, your roar can fuel this team. It can carry us through the toughest of moments.
This isn’t just about cheering on a team. It’s about joining something bigger. We’re building a culture here. We’re not just trying to put together a solid season—we’re trying to build a legacy. We’re trying to build a championship mentality, and that’s not something we can do alone. We need you with us every step of the way. No more excuses. No more waiting for the “right time.” The time is now.
So here’s the deal. This is your assignment: I need you to bring your absolute best. Don’t show up half-hearted. Don’t show up when it’s easy. Show up for every game, every moment, and roar like you’ve never roared before. Let the whole NFL hear you.
Lions fans, we’re coming for it all. And we can’t do it without you. Let’s make next season one to remember. ROAR NOW. LFG.
Let’s get to work.
