| #25 my disdain & almost maniacal rage toward the Ford's is like that of a rock throwing paleostinian... |

| #24 As a Bronco fan, I am glad they lost and got their butt kicked so thoroughly. We couldn't have stopped Indy as we are and we get a better draft pick. Plus, the defensive coach needs fired and the offensive play calling was horrible all year. Broncos need a major re-tooling and the only way to get it is the complete ass-stomping they so richly deserved. Although, it would be nice to see the Chargers go all the way. But their coach seems to choke in the playoffs for some reason every year. |

| #22 The Bolts play the Colts, no? |

| #21 Sorry about that, OP. Go Chargers! |

| #20 Well, the Broncos found ways to lose their last three games and skip the playoffs. If they'd won any one of them, they'd have been in the running for a wild-card berth, at least. Maybe they're trying to give Detroit some competition. |

| #19 The NFL should go to the same system as the European soccer leagues. |

| #18 They don't need Millen to screw up the draft picks. Remember Andre Ware? |

| #17 Meh we only had 14 games. |

| #16 Colt McCoy has already stated that he will return to Tejas for his senior year. |

| #15 Nonetheless, the KC Chiefs have the world's worst "Head" Coach. Given a year or two, Herm Edwards could single handedly dismantle the New England Patriots... |

| #14 The Lions have been in a depression for some time now (last playoff appearance 1999). There's nowhere to go but UP !! At least the Detroit fans still have the RedWings, Pistons, and Tigers. Those three franchises sports 8 championships since 1984. |

| #13 Detroit's problems start in the front office, and are just reflected on the field. no amount of FA or drafting can make up for the lack of football sense in the front office. the city of Detroit aught to sue Bill Ford.. either turn over the franchise to a competent, or stop using the name Detroit... or move to another market so Detroit can rebuild their image. on the upside, the lions are so bad, that it does give the city schools and PD a way to look good by comparison. the lions are an embarassment to football |

| #12 Tebow won't come out. That leaves Bradford or McCoy. I think the Lions will go with McCoy since he is more mobile. Then they really need to do some serious FA deals and trades to boost the offensive line and bring in a good to semi-great all purpose back. If the Dolphins can do it - then so can Detroit (once they find a way to kidnap Parcells or clone him). |

| #11 should use that first pick on a WR. That'll work |

| #10 Yeah, it is "perfection". Kinda... |

| #9 Hey BH6, at least ole Bill had enuff brains to get Mullally for FMC, which he also was running to ground. So, maybe there's a glimmer out there for the Lions. Look at it this way, at least it's a record. And will probably remain in the books for a while. It's like 16-0, only backward. |

| #8 I went home for X-mas w/the fam (west side of Detroit), after a game of drop-in hockey some old auto worker tried to tell me that William Ford really did want to win, he just didn't know how...the guy has had the team 50 yrs. They need to sell the lions to someone who cares more about winning then coaches and gm's kissing their ass. |

| #7 Maybe they should petition the guvm't for a bail-out. |

| #6 Detroit and the Detroit Lions, in a neck-and-neck race for the bottom. |
| Posted by: Mitch H. 2008-12-29 10:04 |
| #5 Gotta hit bottom before you can move back up. If they go 1-15 next year, it'll be progress. Just be glad Millen's not around to blow that No. 1 draft pick. |

| #4 Things are always blackest just before the coach and worthless player firing. |

#3 History repeats itself:The team made a habit of losing. The Buccaneers lost at least ten games in 17 of their first 21 seasons, including 12 straight from 1983 to 1994. After a particularly dismal effort in the late 1970's, longtime Buc's coach John McKay gave perhaps the quintessential comment on the organization's plight: A reporter asked McKay about his team's execution during the game. McKay responded "I'm in favour of it". |

| #2 Moving from Baltimore to Indianapolis wasn't an long term albatross to the Colts. Just saying.... |

| #1 In 1958 as a bitter Bobby Layne who had been traded by Detroit to Pittsburg said that the Lions would not win another championship for 50 years. The Layne Curse ended this season. Think they'll do better in the future? Me neither. |
