Growing up a Seahawks fan and suffering through many 4-12, 6-10 seasons, it was always a great testament to how they could make an utterly shiatty team look like they werethisclose to making it to the Super Bowl.

You now have me really curious as to what the 2008 Lions NFL films video will look like. Maybe they just skip the whole 2008 season and highlight "new coach" and "new QB".

/sports are dumb anyways

You sound fat.

My bet is on 3-13 as well. 4-12 is possible because I like what they have been doing with the defense. The offense will be terrible, but there is a glimpse of hope that Culpepper will have more than 1.2 seconds to get a pass off. Calvin Johnson.... poor guy. He would be a superstar on any other team.

I would love to see 0-32 but something tells me they will be just good enough to squeak out a few wins. Then all the idiot fans will fill the seats so Ford Sr can 'stay the course'. Maybe he will bring Millen back?

Compared to Granholm, the Lions are a success. They didn't get the unemployment rate over 15%.

2farkers1cup: /sports are dumb anyways

One of my best friends produced the Lions highlight film this year. You've pretty much got it right--no game recaps, a glossing over of the low points, and lots of "this is why they will be AWESOME next year." It's classic NFL Films propaganda, and we do it for every crappy team. Gotta love it!

Usually when the team is REALLY bad, NFL Films resorts to the following fallbacks, in increasing order of desperation:

*Anyone with halfway decent individual statistics. Any statistic. If someone managed to get 10 sacks on the year, they'll use it.
*The early-round draft picks.
*Anyone else of consequence signed in the offseason. (They get an excuse to show other teams' highlights.)
*New front-office people.
*Fan support.
*New stadiums.
*Uniform changes.
*Hey, look at the pretty hometown!

The Lions... expect a half hour of Matthew Stafford and dissection of the new Lions logo.

We just picked up that defensive end from Kentucky in the supplemental draft. For those who are unaware the depth chart for the Skins LDE looks like this.

Phillip Daniels age 36
Renaldo Wynn age 34
Rob Jackson 1 tackle so far in the NFL

At RDE we have Andre Carter then it gets fun.

Chris Wilson has 19 tackles and 5 sacks career
Alex Buzbee has not played yet in the nfl

Orakpo will be used at linebacker and maybe a third down defensive end in passing situations.

This was a great pickup. Defintiely well worth the third rounder next year that we would have traded by midseason or used on a punter.

I think you can relive a good season, even if you didn't win the Superbowl.

In the Lions defense, some of their games looked like they were actually playing football during certain quarters of the game. The biggest joke on their team was the tackling. Last year's tackling attempts were some of the worst tackles I've ever seen in my whole life.

However, if you want to go for the team that look like the biggest absolute pile of dog shiat while playing, my hat has to go off to the Rams. Yes, I am aware they had at least a couple of wins under their belt, but the way the Seahawks and 9ers played last year, the Lions probably could have got at least one hash mark in the "W" column.

People need to be more tolerant to sport-bois.

It's not a "decision" to enjoy patting other men on the butts, putting both hands up their taints or wrestling in the shower - its a lifestyle that America should embrace.

You're encouraged to bring your children to sport events and teach them that sweaty men hugging in the locker room is not something to make fun of on the playground. Show them how pleasurable it can be with your face between a fat guy's butt cheeks going "hut hut hut" and the RIGHT way to cup a man's balls, play grabass or safely snap a towel.

I agree the Pistons are in a rebuilding phase, but it was only a few years ago that they were NBA champs. It's possible to be a Pistons fan and have hope. They'll probably be a very good team again within, I don't know, the next 3-5 years, especially given Joe Dumars' talent for good management. The Lions, on the other hand, have NEVER, ever, ever been even decent. They will almost certainly still suck in the next 3-5 years.

No kidding. The last time the Lions won a playoff game was '91, and football was outranked by the Ninja Turtles in my list of priorities back then.

Since I was born, I've seen the Wings and Pistons win championships, the Tigers make it to the World Series (and taking down the Yankees along the way), Michigan's football team get a national championship, MSU's basketball team win the NCAA tourney...hell, the Detroit Vipers, Detroit Shock, and Detroit Demolition have all either won championships or (in the case of the Vipers) fell one game short.

And then there's the Lions.

Disclaimer: I'm, at best, a casual basketball fan, so I'm probably going to screw something up below.

He's made some good moves. He got rid of Grant Hill and got Ben Wallace in return, and was smart enough to not resign Wallace before he began his downswing. He traded Stackhouse for Rip Hamilton, which worked out well for the Pistons. The Rasheed Wallace trade went pretty well, and while it ended disastrously, I still give him credit for trying something big with the Allen Iverson trade.

On the other hand, there's that 2003 draft pick. Darko over Carmelo Anthony or Dwayne Wade...ugh.

Dumars hasn't been perfect, but I don't think he's made any completely boneheaded moves in his time here.

I think you can relive a good season, even if you didn't win the Superbowl.

Very true! Coming off a crappy season the year before, with a rookie QB and an aging defense I didn't think my Ravens would be doing anything. I was thrilled when they won a few games, and especially after blowing out the Dolphins in the playoffs. I was cool with it ending there. Lucking it out over the Titans was just icing on the cake. Even the last game wasn't TOO painful (once a few weeks out) because the Steelers are a damn good team, much as we hatesss them.

TonnageVT: Why would anyone but Steeler fans want to relive last season??? "Oh man, that was a great season until that final game, I want to watch every game, 'cause my team played so great until the end...too bad they dropped that last game!"

I'd say Cardinals and Dolphins fans would be on that list. Those teams did much better than anybody expected, and there is a decent chance neither team reaches the same level of success in the coming years, too...

And the most sad thing is that when you are in the stadium, all you hear are comments on how they wish the owner (William Clay Ford Sr aka WCF) would just die already. I can picture it now when the old guy finally passes (although I think he has "zombie" in his genes and he may never die), the crowd will give a thunderous booooo (not booo-urns). It will be totally classless, but justified based upon 50 years of failure as an owner.

The last time the Lions were worth watching;

I live here, and they're the team on TV. So here's my wish for 2009-2010...

They could not conceivably win any more than 5 games in the most remote possible good scenario. I believe a 3-13 season is plausible, but why on Earth tune in to watch that?

I very much want them to go the extra mile and lose their first 10 games. That will clinch the NFL's longest losing streak of all time, even more than the expansion Tampa Bay Bucs.

That would be riveting. But 3-13 football would be as dull as dishwater. You either compete for .500, do better (up to a playoff berth and beyond), or lose them all, in my opinion.

Seriously.

If you werent around in the 50's the lions were NEVER interesting except for one guy...

Otherwise..the lions get the mercy flush.

Ummmm.... Dick "Night Train" Lane would like a word with you...


/as well as Charlie Sanders....

I'm sorry, but as great as Night Train, Sanders, etc. were back in the day, I seriously doubt there were many people who went to a Lions game only to watch them play. Whereas I know a lot of people - beginning with my brother and I - who would go to a Lions game only and specifically to watch Barry Sanders play.

/And neither I or my brother have been to a Lions game since Barry Sanders retired.
//And at the rate they're going, we probably never will.

browneye: Stroke_N_Focus: browneye: peewinkle: The Lions, on the other hand, have NEVER, ever, ever been even decent. They will almost certainly still suck in the next 3-5 years.

that's the difference.

Ummm yes they have.

Detroit Lions

NFL Champions: 1935, 1952, 1953, 1957

Which means that the last championship the Lions won was fifty-two years ago.

And in all of the last fifty-two years, the Detroit Lions have have won exactly one playoff game.
