pittsburgh also won in 2008, the same year the lions went 0-16

Hollywood couldn't script this: in Texas, Stafford went to same high school as Bobby Layne and lived on the same street !

3:01 “What other team could lose on a 63 yard field goal to a kicker with one foot?” Lions lose to Baltimore 19-17 on a 66 yard field goal 😭😭

They made Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson quit football forever 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

And in the last year of the curse, the Lions went 0-16, while the Steelers won the Super Bowl :O

U kno I lost respect when y'all put a damn "psychic" in the vid

And here we are now. Their best QB since Layne, Matt Stafford, has been traded to the Rams. And now the Lions are 0-8-1. The curse lives for another 50 years

It’s December 2019 now, some things will never change

The Bobby Lane curse may be real, but the Ford family curse is definitely real.

Please Lions, just one championship before I die

Here from 2023 and I have to say, it’s an INCREDIBLE time to be a Lions fan! GO LIONS!

Who is here after the playoff win 🎉🎉

5:20 offsides don't act like we didn't see you colts player

If the cubs can win a World Series the lions can win a super bowl

This was made in 2008, the same year the Lions go 0-16. Is that creepy or what?

"Curse of The Ford Family" is more accurate. When the Fords realized that Detroit football fans were willing to pay for bad football for generations, they figured there was no reason to spend their profits on building a winning team. Matt Millen was kept for so long because he did exactly what he was paid to do: lose. He only got fired after media and fan pressure. The Lions always draft a couple of stars on offense and defense... and have just enough wins to tease the fan into thinking "they're just a couple of drafts from the playoffs." Then the Lions fall back on their losing ways.

UrinatingTree, take notes man.

2 years after this was filmed lions were 0-16

60 years old and still waiting, but I will always be a Lions fan, no matter how hard that is to admit. If it's your team, it's your team no matter what.

It's 2019 and the curse still isn't over

"I'm glad he didn't say 51. I couldn't take anymore." He was so innocent then...

And then Matthew Stafford was drafted.

The real curse is Ford owns them. As long as Ford owns the team, they will settle for a team just good enough to fill the stands.

I don't believe in curses but the football "curses" b on point. About 50 later Stafford was drafted n he's the best QB we had since Bobby Lane.

At least they're not the Browns.

6:45 “THIS IS THE YEAR, BABY! 19-0! BELIEVE!!!!! Lions to the bowl in Tampa!” They would go 0-16 that same season.

Fins fan coming back after the NFC title game. Bobby Lane was in the building, that choke was curse ridden.

1 playoff win in the Superbowl era.... I am 25 and I am prepared to not see this team get to a Superbowl in my lifetime.

When we went 0-16, I had season tickets. It was horrid, but you just felt like this was going to be as low as it would get. After that, the Lions drafted this 20 year old gun slinger out of Georgia who was said to not be able to win the big game in college and he wouldn't be able to do it in the pros. Since '09, we have had the Calvin rule, the Dallas playoff blunder, late season collapses, Hail Mary nightmares, injuries in bunches, and one of the greatest receivers ever retiring at such a young age. After going through all of this, I can say that Detroit will feel the sweet justice that is victory once they finally win the Super Bowl. This city will erupt into a bigger atmosphere than Mardi Gras.

I was disappointed that their full history wasn't mentioned. They were first known as The Portsmouth Spartans from Portsmouth, Ohio. They won the NFL Title before going to Detroit in 1922 I believe. My grandfather attended that game when he was 13 years old. He always talked about that game. I think the Lions will come around soon.

4 years later and this has still aged like fine wine. Lions are 0-10-1 this season. Cursed indeed they are.

I love the lions because I am from Detroit but it's hard to love them when your haunted because your hometown went 0-16 one year LIONS PLEASE win 1 Super Bowl before I die

Why are they interviewing a "psychic"? Why not put a snake charmer on TV or a water dowser or Scientologist.

I’m here from the future (2021) and I can confirm that the curse is definitely not over. We’re currently 0-7 right now. 🦁🏈😩

The curse is real and will last much longer. When You don't take these things seriously is when you get in trouble! Bobby the best ever to land in Detroit

In the 50th year the Detroit Lions went 0-16 and the Steelers won the SB. After 2008 in the 2009 draft Lions drafted Matthew Stafford and the Lions are finally good at the quarterback position and are on a up turn. Curse is lifted but the team was so bad it's had to dig itself outta a hole. Looks like Lions are finally a contending team. Only took 50 years...

As soon as I see Millen, I feel like vomiting

6:30 "Negative/ Angry fans are contributing to the curse, and blocking the team from winning". Fans wouldn't be negative and angry if they would keep winning! Fans are angry because the organization won't complete the building of a super bowl team. They get a legend or two from time to time, but won't get them the pieces they need to win!

How the Detroit Lions became cursed: November 22, 1963 - When William Clay Ford Sr. purchased the Lions and promptly turned it into his personal toy because he was bitter and salty his brother tossed him out of the car company for being completely incompetent.

A psychic? Seriously NFL Films? Stopped watching as soon as that loon started talking

Their recent game against the falcons is the best example of the lions curse

Who's here after the 66 yard field goal ?

I remember watching the Lions play the Bears in 1971 when Chuck Hughes died on the field after running a route. That was freakin' unreal man. He was dead before he hit the turf, they said... He was only in his mid to late 20's and died of a heart attack/arteriosclerosis. I was just a little kid but, I remember that like it was yesterday.

There's no bigger curse than being a Lions fan, sadly.

0-16

I'm a Panthers fan and fortunately we've had a chance to play in the bowl twice and have came up short on both occasions, but I hope you guys get one some day , I'll always pull for the lions , they have a special place in my ❤

Jared Goff's either gonna learn the hard way or prove the entire NFL wrong

So you're telling me we could've been the steelers?

As a Eagles Fan I Feel So Bad For The Lions!

2:40 he looks like Gordon Ramsay

the fans' negative energy is causing them to keep losing?? lmao

On the 50th year the lions went 0 16 the next year we drafted matthew stafford who coincidentally beat Bobby lanes passing record in detroit

The Lions became cursed when WCF became sole owner of the team. They will continue to be cursed as long as the Ford family owns them.

“THIS IS THE YEAR BABY! 19-0! BELIEVE IT! LIONS IN THE BOWL IN TAMPA! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 What year did he say that?

Don't forget the second Bobby Layne curse. Just before Bobby Layne passed away, there was this new quarterback at the University of Texas shattering all of Layne's previous records. When Layne was asked how he felt about some of his records being erased by the Longhorns new quarterback, Brett Stafford, he replied, "He may have all the records he wants, but Stafford will never know what it's like to take an NFL team to the Championship." And then he let out his last breath. True story. So leave it to the Lions, who, knowing Bobby Layne's curse ended after the 2008 season, traded in one Bobby Layne curse for another by drafting Matt Stafford in 2009.

I love how they have a psychic to give credence to an actual curse.

Matt Millen haha 😂

They made one of the best receivers ever rage quit his career.........after the curse.

This video keeps being reborn. It's now the middle of the first year the NFL will play 17 games. Welp, the Lions are winless and I'm betting they're going to break another record.

Man how times have changed! To think that the Lions & Browns were the teams of the 50s. Now back to the present, these are the last two teams to go 0-16.

The lions have had some absolute beasts! Too bad the front office don’t give a damn if they win or loose. Rips my heart out that the greatest running back to play the game quit because they didn’t care about winning.

Simba: what’s a Super Bowl? Mufasa: we’re Lions, so I have no idea

The Curse of Bobby Layne strikes again!! Matthew Stafford is a Detroit Lion for 12 years, leaves and wins the Super Bowl the next season 😂

10/2021 The curse still looks alive and well

But that 51st year they went 0-16 and Pittsburgh won the SB

Whose's here after 24-7

3:44--also on Thanksgiving Day 1980, they kicked off to start overtime against the Bears, and Davey Williams promptly returned the kickoff for the game-winning touchdown.

Actually, it was Tobin Rote (the cousin of New York Giants star Kyle),who paased the Detroit Lions to their last championship In 1957.

Nowadays referees are the curse here in Detroit

And now Matthew Stafford, literally in his first year away from Detroit, wins a SB.

Roger Brown was the BEST Defensive Tackle in the 60's. Bart Starr stated emphatically when they played the Lions they would ALWAYS double team Roger... not Alex Karras. Jerry Kramer, Hall of Famer also said Roger was the most difficult DT he ever had to block.

Watching this in 2021 as the Lions are currently 0-10-1. I feel for Lions fans, I feel for you.

Hopefully Bob Quinn can build a championship team soon

The curse will not be broken until Detroit beats the Steelers in the Super Bowl.

The curse will last forever, I'm glad my father got to see at least one championship, now the question is after being a fan since the 70s, will I ever see a championship in Detroit???

Some really good players have toiled in Detroit. Lem Barney, Doug English, Billy Sims, Chris Spielman, Barry Sanders, Calvin Johnson

I don't feel sorry for Detroit. The Red Wings, Pistons, and Tigers have given them some great moments and championships over the years since the days of Bobby Layne.

Matt Millen is one to talk. He contributed to about 6-8 years of this team's curse.

See the curse is still around today. Good job Ford family for keeping it real

It doesn't help that the officials make about twice as many bad calls vs. The Lions as they do against any other team. And usually those bad calls help an opposing team keep a game winning drive going, or keep the Lions from a game-winning play. It's almost as if the NFL doesn't want the Lions to succeed...

As a Bears fan I am grateful for the Lions so we don’t have the worst record in the division every year.

NFL made this video so you know what that means, the curse is gonna end soon.

I did my son a favor, I purposely did not pass it on to him. What's funny is he is a great athlete and plays football in high school, and has never watched one down of Lions football. Your welcome kid, Love Dad

60+ years....and they're still cursed.

wish there was a Browns version lol the old browns moved on and became the Ravens, won 2 SBs since. And well old or new browns, same old same old,

Teams that win a Super Bowl before the Lions 1. Houston Oilers 2. Pittsburgh Pirates 3. Las Vegas Golden Knights 4. Sacramento Kings 5. BC Lions 😳

So, now its 60 years. Still no playoff wins.

“This is the year baby, 19 and 0” they go 0 and 16

Unfortunately as a Lions fan I have to admit that the Lions are the new Cubs of professional sports

Nope. 2008 marked 0-16. Coincidentally the same year Pittsburgh won another Super Bowl, in fantastic style. And don't even get me started on the officiating on this team.

This woman said fans negativity are hurting the team lol. They have zero affect on the team please

Herman Moore, Detroit Lions WR thru years 1991-1994: 5,448 receiving yards, 42 Touchdowns. Team had one season over 9 wins, one season with 5 wins. 0 playoff wins in his career. Barry Sanders, Detroit Lions RB thru years 1994-1998: 8,480 rushing yards, 44 touchdowns. Team had 3 seasons 9-7, one season 5-11, one season 10-6. Sanders has ONE playoff win in his career. Calvin Johnson, Detroit Lions WR thru years 2010-2013: 6,257 receiving yards, 45 touchdowns, 16.5 yards per reception average. Team went 6-10, 4-12, 7-9, and 10-6, losing the Wild Card. Johnson has ZERO playoff wins in his career. Matthew Stafford, Detroit Lions QB thru years 2011-2014: 18,912 passing yards, 61% cmp. %, 112 touchdowns, 64 interceptions, 11.9 yards per completion average. Team went 4-12, 10-6, 7-9, 11-5. Lost every wild card round. Stafford has ZERO playoff wins in his career. Lem Barney, Detroit Lions Defensive Back thru years 1967-1970: 32 interceptions, 608 return yards, 5 touchdowns on those interceptions, caused 12 fumbles, recovered 7 of them. Team went 5-7, 4-8, 9-4-1, 10-4. Team never won a playoff game, only went to playoffs once.

Oh yeah, we have a curse... It's called referees

I just realized that 50 Year’s after the curse the lions drafted Stafford, so that means that he will win the super bowl

2022 will be their best year because Dan Campell said they bite all the other teams kneecaps

It has to start with owner, fans, GM, coaching staffs, and draft good players not cursed.

Bobby Lane: “This team will never win for 50 years” 65 years later The lions have 1 playoff win in 65 years

Some of you are dissing the Psychic and I'm a little surprised. So you are willing to hear about paranormal activity such as CURSES but you get upset when they bring a PSYCHIC to explain it??!?! Why did you click on a video about "Curses?!!?!?"

3:15😭😭😭😭😭😭

3:06 holy crap.. That half foot shoe design looks like it could be a competitive advantage.. Is their regulations to kicking shoes now?
