What is wrong with Matt Millen and William Clay Ford?

what is wrong with the Lions???

Can they not give up 21 points every single first half of a football game?

Since Matt Millen came on-board, we have the worst record. Can't they draft a decent player?

why do we make every opponent look like they are the second coming of the 72 dolphins?

Only decent players are:Ernie Sims, Calvin Johnson, Roy Williams, Jason Hanson and the Punter. whoever that guy is.

They have to be good athletes, but why do they stink so bad on the Lions???

Things might be going well, so somebody commits a stupid penalty.

The offense might score a lot but the D gives it right back; or the D pitches a shutout and the offense gets picked for a score.

Every fall I have high hopes and boom, the kick me in chops.

    The Ford family cares about money and nothing else. They have proven that to be true for the last 40 years where they have made almost no effort to improve the sorriest franchise in the NFL. Millen might care but he is a buffoon, he has no clue what talent looks like and he has proven that year after year while drafting useless players over and over again. He cant sign any quality free agents and they hired a coach with no head coaching experience and it shows (but keep in mind they only sought out coaches that would take the job at very low pay, Marinelli is one of the lowest paid). They got rid of Shuan Rogers using the excuse they wanted better character guys and turned around and drafted Cherilus (charged with starting a barroom brawl, and convicted) and Dizon (charged with DUI and accepted a plea deal). What was that about character? They signed all the DBs that TB no longer needed (read...lost a step) and told us they improved the DBs. They sign injured and career backup offensive linemen and tell us they improved the line. They kept 11 defensive linemen, telling us they were all too good to cut, really? They have been dominated so far this year (twice by offensive lines that are considered weak). Nothing will change as long as the Fords keep making money, remember that winning is expensive and they have no desire to part with money just so they can win. Until the stands quit filling up nothing will change, it hasnt for the last 50 years.

    I'm beginning to think the same thing about the Rams, Jay Zygmunt, and Chip Rosenbloom. The Rams are the laughingstock of the NFL, and might not win a game this year. Time to clean house!

    They just need to go. I believe Detroit has an owner who has other interests besides winning in the NFL, plain and simple. Millen is the worse GM in professional sports!
