Great job with Peyton and Jeff finally getting the Lions back on track! Thanks Guys! Go Lions!

It is rumored that when Bobby Layne "cursed" the Detroit Lions after trading him in 1958, he said, and I'm paraphrasing, "The Detroit Lions won't win anything for the next 50 years." Well, they didn't, only winning one playoff game during that time. 2008 was the 50th anniversary of Bobby's "curse" and that was the Lions 0-16 season. Thanks for the great footage of Bobby Layne slinging the rock, its vintage video, and Layne was a character like no other. He's the best QB in Detroit Lions history while Jared Goff is #2 and hot on his trail, especially if he wins a Super Bowl. Thank you to Peyton and Jeff for performing this ritual at Ford Field. The "curse" is over!

Yeah, this curse was WILD. Detroit is the example of some mad bad luck, and thats coming from a Bears fan. Honestly, I have mad respect for their fans, because anyone that can stick with them, regardless of that curse, thats a true fan. I can respect the hell out of that. At the heart of being a fan, riding those highs and lows together and just keeping hope, its everything. Also, love this style Peyton! "Belichecks dark magic was just too strong" 🤣

Thank you Peyton and Jeff!!! Go Lions!!!

The Lions remind me a lot of the Melbourne Football Club, where they were cursed by a legendary figure from their organisation to never win the main prize before turning it around nearly 50-60 years later. Hope the Lions get that same fortune.

Hated Peyton for a very long time. My man did this and he's all right in my book. Thank you, Manning!

Omaha has done a great job in stepping this series up. Even the B roll feels like its gone to the next level

I had no idea about a curse, nor ever heard of Bobby Layne when I became a Lions fan in 1977....I have been through some of the toughest times with this team and am thankful the curse is over.

If the Lions' QB drinks enough ALCOHOL to win championships, then the fans won't have to drink so much to endure a disappointing season. Might want to change the contents of Goff's Gatorade bottle!

I'm so glad the Lions are relevant again. Peyton and Jeff really did it.

Here's a crazy one; Matthew Stafford went to the same High School as Bobby Lane. When they drafted him 1 overall I thought that would be the cure, which in a way he did help break it by asking for the trade that brought us Jared Goff.

That was truly the worst trade in football history.

At least Detroit has the Pistons & Red Wings who brought titles home. Minnesota has... Twins 1991. That was 33 years ago. That's it!

The interesting thing about Layne & the 50s lions was the timing of detroit. Like Miami of the 80s & portland of the 90s per capita no city was more culturally & economically more significant than detroit. The lions are a microcosm of the city.

I never understood why the Lions didn't throw screens and dump offs to Barry more often. Most of the time he was wide open on a dump off and the QBs never threw it to him. You have the greatest open field runner in league history, and don't give him the ball in space...it was maddening to watch.

Laynewas past his prime when the Lions traded him ro Pittsburgh after rhe first game of 1958. The Lions knew this because they made him share the quarterback job with the newly-acquired Tobin Rote in 1957. The Lions received Earl Morral in exchange and Morral played well for the Lions for seven years before being traded to rhe Giants in August, 1965.

One correction: Traded for Morell, two picks, and a carton of smokes. Bobby Lane would drink enough before the game and before the second half to sober up by the two minute warning. By the way, anybody catch Peyton’s look when Jeff Daniel’s tells him Bobby Lane invented Omaha?

"Belichick's dark magic", isn't that the truth?

This is a far better, has much more rewatch potential, and way more wholesome show and representation of a character who I have always loathed and had so little interest in the previous iteration
