I imagine they don't feel too bad right now, considering they managed to finally get Millen fired. To a Lions fan, that has to feel about as good as making the playoffs.

edit: sadly I think their coach WILL get fired, simply because you don't go 1-15 or 0-16 and keep your job. I don't think he's a bad coach or even a bad head coach, but that's the way the ball bounces sometimes.

They have a long way to go to reach 26 straight that the Bucs did.

Actually they are at 21 straight going from last year

I think Marinelli may keep his job still, the team is still playing hard for him, they just have no talent at all. And quite frankly, Detroit upper management has never made any change quickly

You have no idea the eras this city has went through and forgotten. THE MOST pathetic franchise in sports is the Detroit Lions from draft busts to losing seasons even to having an openly gay quarterback (scott mitchel) we have had it all. Theres a reason im a panther fan my love for football had to where I belong and thats carolina not with this shitty ass organization. No one here cares about football, we all want this team to go 0-16. Enough is enough fire millen remember that? Well do it, now hes home watching this franchise get demolished week in and week out and loving it. Were cursed by ford things wont change until hes dead sorry.

honestly, It's impossible for me to make fun of Detroit. 2001 was such a miserable season for us. We went through hell that season and i hope no other fan base ever have to go through that. I hope they win their last game.

No team should ever go winless in a season

However, if it was the Bucs or Falcons .... I might have to retract my statement. lOL

At least we played our games close.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
