Anyone watch the game. Yet again, they get demolished, and run the ball less than ten times.

Everytime you think they can't get more embarrasing, they do.

6-10 is comfortably in sight now. KC isn't that good but they will probably beat the lions. And there is no way we are winning in GB at the end of Dec. Just no way.

On the plus side, Detmer's 7 interceptions in one game are still a club record. Close, but no cigar on that one, Mr. Kitna.

*To the tune of "Let it Snow*

Oh the Lions really got bitch-slapped
All around Qualcomm.
They're nowhere near as good as San Diego,
Lions blow, Lions blow, Lions blow.

Fire Martz now. Bring in someone who knows that you have to run the ball mroe than 8 or 9 times a game to win in the NFL.

Cut Lard ass as soon as it's feasible for cap purposes, unless you can find someone dumb enough to to give them a couple flat footballs for him. Talent is meaningless when you're too fat to be on the field.

Put Shitna on the bench since he can't seem to figure out that throwing into double and triple coverage is a bad thing and have O'Sullivan and Orlovsky split the snaps the rest of the season. If one or both of them show they have some talent, keep them, otherwise get rid of all 3 QBs.

Either move Backus to RT or cut him. He's too slow to play LT in the NFL. Speed rushers eat him alive.

Find a decent guard instead of other team's cast-offs, and be looking for an upgrade at center.

Find at least one decent corner back who can stay healthy for a full year once in awhile and get rid of Bryant.

Tell Millen either he's going to move to the Detroit area and actually start acting like he has a brain or fire him. The only reason I don't want him gone immediately is because I think Marinelli is a good coach, he just has nothing to work with defensively and his offensive coordinator sabotages his game plans by refusing to run the ball. I'm afraid that if a new GM comes in, he'll want to bring his own coaching staff too, and I don't need to see another recycled coach who's already been fired from 5 teams come in, or some hot college coach who can come in, try to treat the NFL players like college kids and run a college offense.

And 6-10 doesn't surprise me much even after their 6-2 start. I've said all along that they didn't beat a single good team, and most of the games they did win they should have lost. They did just well enough so that they won't have a top 5 pick to blow this year.

I'm so sick of watching this team I hope they lose every game now until they fire Millen and get a decent owner. They're an embarrasement to Detroit and the rest of their teams. Detroit has 3 good teams (which I am a fan of each especially the Wings). And one absolute laughing stock. They should move the team Toronto that way they'll fit right in Toronto is used to losing.

Heheh...the really sad thing, is that this has been a good season for the Lions. They won six games! They might win seven, with a bit of luck.

I haven't watched them since the first half on Thanksgiving, so I don't have anything to say about how they played. The scores kind of speak for themselves, though.

Preface, not a Lion fan because Ford is a horrible owner.

That said:

1. Fire Matt Millen. The worst.
2. Fire whoever does the scouting. Top pick after top pick has been wasted on BUMS.
3. Draft lineman D and O, they last longest and are the core to winning.

San Diego leads the league in takeaways, but no way should they be able to run like that. Every other team stacks the box and makes Rivers throw. How on Erath did the 3rd string RB getover 100 yards!? I am a Charger fan, but the Lions sure made them look better than they are.

On the bright side !

If the Vikings win on Monday night...............Detroit won't have a chance to embarrass us in the playoffs :lol:

It would be one thing if their record was 6-8 and they were in some of the games that they lost, but they've been blow away in most of their losses. Dallas was the only one that they weren't pummeled in and they just handed that one away.

But seriously, jerry...you expected different? How long have you been following this team?

The Lions.
