look at the bright side.....#1 draft choice.


That's the only thing we ever have to look forward to. It's always a competition for whose going to be the worse in the league. The Lions, Oakland, last year the Dolphins had a good run. But it's usually us near the bottom of the barrel every year. Thus, in Michigan, the draft is considered the "Lions Super Bowl". But it really doesn't matter, we'll draft another terrible wideout or a mediocre quarterback. I'd be totally shocked if they drafted all o-linemen and d-linemen.

LOL, they'll probably find a way to screw that up too!! Thank God, for the RED WINGS!!


I am going to the Lions game on the 21st.

I am going to carry a sign with me in case they have the lead late in the 4th quarter.

The sign is going to say...

" The Lions Can't Even Do 0-16 right??? "


Hey JAG!! WAKE UP..game's over , man...laugh laugh laugh

Oh it gets even better now.

William Clay Ford has publicly said that he would like to have the two guys who are running the team right now, who happen to be guys that Matt Millen brought in, stay in their current positions in the future.

The man just does not get it.

It's not really like banging your head on a wall. It's more like staring at on coming traffic and expecting it to go around you.

well, i would HOPE you wouldn't go with a wideout...even though they scored big time on Calvin Johnson...dude is a freakin BEAST!!!!

but i am willing to put money on D-line getting vamped up or secondary....

agree with nova pick defensive players in 1st rd plus not sure what there defense is if it is a 4-3 or cover 2 need to change to 3-4 formation & mix up coverages

YES....but it will take a complete overhaul of the front office and personnel before it will happen

look at Miami and Atlanta.....just believe Lions fans.....this is the NFL...one year you are at the bottom the next...oh wait, we are talking about the lions...they are ALWAYS at the bottom LOL

KC is tied with St. Louis same record but St. Louis will get 2nd pick bec of there schedule compared to KC.. don't think that is fair.. even if they both lose last game St. Louis made get 2nd pick

Until they get someone in the front office who is a "football" guy and not some investment banker turned professional fantasy football director of operations... things will never change. Nobody in the front office has any reason to be there because none of them have any experience building a winning sports organization.

And whoever said they'll just pull a name out of a hat... don't be suprised to see that very thing happen on draft day. lol It would make more sense than a lot of other picks they've made.

considered one of the most explosive wide receivers in the game.....but it was wasted money by Dallas seeing as they already had too many weapons to throw to

he has made, what, about 10-15 catches the WHOLE time he has been there?? BUST.....Witten and TO will get all of the passes in big D....
