I enjoy reading Hondo's reports. I don't agree with everything, but he's close to a lot of the players, coaches, scouts, etc. on a daily basis. He gives some good insights.
Seven wins are good, but unfortunately for the Lions, Millen keeps his job.. Maybe if they had only won 2 games, he'd be gone....then again maybe the players quit because they were hoping he would be gone??

Seven wins are good after all the failures, but not when you're starting 6-2. Millen has to take blame at some point. Fords need to sell the team and concentrate on fixing their auto business, which is failing just like their football team.

Classic...this should be posted on the NFL Network, the WDFN webpage, and sent to both William Clay Ford and Matt Millen's personal e-mail addresses

Re: Lions reportedly set to fire Mike Martz

I am really hoping that WCF looks at this season and realizes that Millen is not the answer. I really see a worse record next season regardless of what we do. Marenilli is not the answer either. Blaming Martz is the most obvious attempt at tagging somebody with blame.......This team needs quality linemen to start. The team simply lacks talent to move up into the elite, playoff caliber group of teams......I will not be happy until I hear from WCF this off season. I really don't think he's going to do anything though.............

A nice draft and we're right back in it.
I can dream.

We can always draft a quarterback or a wide receiver that will change this team.

Re: Lions reportedly set to fire Mike Martz

Can someone fire Ford? That would be a good beginning.
