Can you believe it . Detroit Lions Go 19-0

I have been playing a carrer in FOFC 4c and took over the rag tag Detroit Lions in 2022.

In my previous GM roles with Houston and Seattle I had 8 Bowl winners in 20 seasons.

Detroit was by far the worst team in the league over a 20 season span with only 56 wins.

My record as I rebuilt the team was not much better. Normally I get a team in the playoffs in year 2 or 3. My record for the first 4 years were 7-9 to 8-8.

In 2024 I had the 5th overall draft choice and the 19th. I noticed this was an exceptional draft. Lots of studs on defence. On offence i saw a QB Ron MacDaniel with maxed out potentials of 93. Also a stud RB name Wade Van deWege who rated an 82 and could run inside and out.

My defence was solid. My offence was decent with no great runners and adequate QB.

I thought one of the two would be available at No.5. When my turn came up both were still there and I took QB MacDaniel. I decided to start him immediately, so I traded 1-19, 3-19 and my incumbent QB for the 1-6 draft pick and took Van de Wege.

In 2024 and 2025 it seemed MacDaniel was getting to know the league with a 74.5 and 75 ratings and 18--19 ints.

In 2026 Macdaniel hits his stride passing for 3700 yds with a 95 rating and 22tds and 8 ints. van de Wege runs for over 1000 yds.

the Detroit Lions have their first unbeaten season in History.

The only down side is we averaged only 37000 people per game. Builbing attendance is slow with only 14200 season ticket holders.

i hope to see an attendance increase this year. But it will probably be 2-3 more
