I am really frustrated with this team.

I just voted on the poll on the next thread (and tried to reply) What a joke. And no surprise that the FB pundits on this forum were unanimous in their thought that Ford Sr should have waited on the promotions. Other names that MIGHT have been viable to come to the organization - Parcells, Cowher, Pioli.

Based on those three POSSIBILITIES alone, I would have waited.

Ford will spend money. That has never been the question....

Yeah I remember the blockbuster deal that was swung for Walker back in the day. Dallas was able to put together an entire team for one guy. I believe that trade resulted in them getting Emit Smith, Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin. Not a bad deal.

Anyway I agree I am not impressed with them hanging on to Mayhew either but only time will tell if it was the right move. I really think they need to replace everyone from the owner on down to the water boy but I think we all knew that was...

Hey GHS. At least 2 of my 3 requests have come true. No way is that old man going to sell the team though. Darn.

I would've liked the organization to hold off on the promotions though. I understand that Mayhew took Dallas to the cleaners on the Williams deal, but still. And hey, without MM to screw it up, we may actually do something with the draft picks this time around. You old enough to remember when Minnesota gave up everything to get Herschel Walker? The draft picks paved...

Well seeing how Ford Motor CO. and the rest of the big three were in Washington this week lobbying Congress for aid this week. I would think he would be shopping the franchise around trying to save his company.

Can you EVEN believe it GHS? They came within hours of not selling out Thanksgiving.

Well, I hope that William Clay Ford is going to enjoy his legacy , as owner of the only NFL team to go 0-16, possibly gonna lose us the Thanksgiving game, heck, who knows, even lose the franchise?

It's looking more and more like the Lions may not win a game this season. I only see one maybe two winnable games left on their schedule. Minnesota at home and @ Green Bay and the only way they have a shot @ Green Bay is if the Packers have clinched a playoff spot and they site their big boys.

Well, I am 2 for 4 in my requests, with last week's placing of Kitna on the IR. Won't be too much longer for Rod, but who do they get to replace him? OUCH!

I'm not holding my breath on Ford selling the team though.

Always livin' the dream BG always.

I also figured you were kidding but thought I would throw my two pennies in anyway. I am not a fan of pro football in general. There are just to many guys there for the paycheck in my opinion. Give me Friday nights and Saturday afternoon football before Sunday football any time.

I was kidding GHS. I was mostly poking fun at myself as I have been the butt of jokes for being a seas tix holder for quite awhile. (trust me, if you sat in my seats you would never give them up...seriously)

But it is sad. And comical. And frustrating.

But on the bright side, it took MM 8 years (in FB Prison no less - RIGHT Patty?) to tear the Lions down to this extent. And I predicit that it will take less than half that to make them competitive again. Of course that...

Well BG I really did not find it funny I would say it was more like I found it sad. They lack organization big time. Rod does need to go but there is no use in canning him now they may as well wait until the season is over and they find a new GM to mismanage another hiring of a head coach. As for Roy I am not sure the Lions will really get anything for him most teams know it is a forgone conclusion that he will be in Huston next season.

AMAZING what you find funny GHS.....

But you are right of course. I believe I heard they have allowed more than one QB to have a career day against us, just this year. But that may be cuz Matt Ryan is a newbie.

Nobody could have thought that canning Millen's worthless azz was going to pay immediate dividends? I mean it took him 8 years to destruct this team, with his crappy talent evaluation and subesquent drafts. Still they had a Bye Week to get ready. Which ties into...

I hope it was a turning point for them. Now if they can hold onto the ball they should be OK. I know UW helped them out on a few occasions but the UM defense played a whale of a game. If they don't hold UW to those field goals in the first half it would have been a totally...

Amazing comeback. Watched it at a jamming sports bar. Coach BB is probably still crying in his Wheaties.

Certainly WI helped M with their self destruction, but I have to wonder was this a Baptism by Fire game for the Wolverines? Could this represent their program turning point under RR? That now they believe in themselves where as dropping to 1-3 might have been a death knell on their season. I was/am hoping they do not find themselves before their 10/25 game.

In keeping...

Way to go boys!!!!

You cut the deficit you spotted your opponent this week from 21 points, (the first two weeks - 21 -0) to only 18 points today (21-3) That's PROGRESS!

And, you got called out by Michael Strahan who said you were basically a bunch of quitters....AT WEEK THREE OF THE SEASON. YAY!!!!!

Do us a favor Mr. Ford. Do the following in this order.

1)Have Coach M move Kitna to two deep on the depth chart.

2)Have Millen then fire...
