Detroit Lions 2006 Season Talk - Detroit Pistons Fan Community

I decided to start this general discussion thread for the season, rather than starting a new or searching for a relevant thread each time I want to vent.

A very interesting article on MLive right now. Its a breakdown of the Lions from the pro scout of a team they've played recently. Looks like the guy feels the same way as all of the fans do.

So why the heck can't Millen or Ford see it?!?!?!

A good read if you're a Lions fan.

Yeah I guess. I'm glad I didn't invest in Directv this year. I've got 4 players going against Det. looking to score for me in fantasy.

The Lion's make me want to punch holes in the wall. They are the joke of all franchises of all sports. Only thing is I'm not laughing.

I really like McCown's approach. Could the attitude of this team really be changing?

More Millen bashing and a challenge to the fans.

I love the "legally blind in his eye for talent" line.

Quote:

Matt Millen is 23-70 as a GM. He's actually legally blind in his eye for talent. I mean, the people he hires can't even dress themselves. If the Lions were to blow everything up today and start over, Millen has them so far behind, it would take four years starting from right now to fix the team. So if Matt Millen is the kind of great, quality, super, first-class dude everyone says he is, why won't he do the honorable thing and let poor William Clay Ford off the hook and resign? Is he a devout coward?

And to the fans...

Quote:

I swear, Lions fans, if Millen isn't gone by Week 16, there better not be more than 100 people in the stands when the Lions lose 87-0 to the Bears on Christmas Eve at Ford Field.

He's so right about the support, but the thing is, there's a chance we could actually win this game. Think about it.

1. its a meaningless game
2. the Bears will most likely have the playoff position decided and will be resting guys/not going all out
3. its tradition. the Lions do just enough to mess up their draft position
4. the Lions beat teams they're supposed to lose to and lose to teams they're supposed to beat

Look at the 49ers they've turned the corner. if your team is going to succeed it should show signs of progress after 8 games.
New coaches anyone?

I think I could go for Martz and Marinelli switching places. That would at least be an improvement.

The Lions are never going to get it right. We lose KJ for the year and what do the Lions go and do? They sign another WR. Some guy that has not even played this year. He has never even played in the NFL to my knowledge. With only a few games left and with the playbook so complicated this guy will never see the field this season so what was the point? We need to sign another Running Back.

FIRE MILLEN!!!!!!!
