Lions Business season begins

(Roscoe, if you want, you might want to sticky this for the duration till preseason)

1st rumor that is pretty good: Al Wilson in talks with Detroit to come and play. He was cleared a couple of months ago to play.

Rumor has it that a deal for Rogers could be in the works already. The team is definitely not wanting him back here.

Re: Lions Business season begins

It's too bad that Rogers just doesn't have the work ethic needed to be elite. We just aren't a good enough team to be letting our best players walk away.

Re: Lions Business season begins

Letting Rogers go is easy. No need having a malcontent on the team. Draft time is always interesting with this bunch.

Maybe from an attitude point of view it's easy. But I'd hardly say that giving away our most talented, dominant D-lineman is easy.

This team needs all the talent it can get. The problem is, they draft under talented, under motivated, selfish and bad character guys too often. Then those types of characteristics start to spread to the other players and either drag them down too or cause them to want to leave.

This organization oozes a losing mentality and it's infectious.

If you don't count the last half of the season...the Lions had a great year last year.

Re: Lions Business season begins

I have a feeling this is going to be the year when they turn everything around. They will do a complete 360.

The Sporting News (which is a lousy publication) said the Lions have no shot at a Super Bowl next season. That's pretty much the only team they said it about.

Team needs to get a decent secondary and protection for Kitna. Team's needs are so transparent. Can Millen possibly screw up the draft again?

Rogers affected the way others played on the team. Marenilli insisted on a high standard for players, but allowed Rogers to take plays off and just be inneffective. Being 7-9 doesn't exactly put us on the road to success. I see our record being less impressive next season. Might as well cut Rogers now..........

I so wish i could disagree, but I will probably die without more then a one playoff win season (i do hold out hope for one playoff win someday) and i am only 37.... I went and picked another team to root for in the NFL, its the only sport i have another team besides the hometeam.

But maybe if the Ford name goes down far enough they'll be forced to sell it.
