...should hold open tryouts nationwide. Think about it...they could probably pay the "walkons" like 1/10th of what they pay their pros, the walkons would have the same record, and the Lions would save/make A TON of money. I bet a lot of people in Detroit would show up to watch for a few weeks. It'd be kinda like a circus atmosphere which we all know is what makes money in this league right?

Watched Invincible last night did we?

Hah no...I was just thinking that any of us and about 25-30 of our buddies could go out there and do the exact same thing (record-wise) as the Lions. They might not be the "worst team" in the league but they have won as many games this year in the NFL as I have won...ZERO.

Good lord, they're awful :(

Now at 0-15, and likely 0-16 next week. I can't imagine what their fan boards are like.

Talking heads today had Scott Pioli of the Patriots looking possibly in that direction, maybe taking Josh McDaniels and Matt Cassel with him. Pure speculation, but an interesting scenario.

I remember back when the Lions had Barry Sanders, Herman Moore, and even our old buddy Rodney Peete. At least their fans had something to cheer for back then.

The ulitmate test of a fan is to support a team and continue to sport a team that hasn't won a game all season. That to me is a true fan and I don't know what the attendance numbers are like up there for Lions home games but they should all be appaulded at least for sticking with that team.

      Happy Thanksgiving You Filthy Animals

      By rayzor · Posted

      Just had Thanksgiving meal with a couple dozen family and friends. I lucked out and got one of the smoked turkey legs. Stuffing, mashed taters and gravy, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, kale, smoked ham, chicken and rice, corn, lima beans, cranberry sauce, and great people. My brother got his guitar out and we got to singing. Lots of actual conversations with people I hardly  ever get to see, haven't seen in a while, or who I never met before. Just a great moment to remember.

      3-8 would be a higher win percentage than 3-9

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Same... With the personnel the Niners had, that defense could have been historically good in the right hands. Under Wilks they were certainly good, they didn't quite rise to that level. Honestly, I see Wilks kinda like I see Rivera: fantastic person, decent head coach. Skill wise, phenomenal DB coach, so-so DC. His greatest strength is his leadership. Hard to find many better in that department. In the Xs and Os / execution area though, not as good. Bottom Line: Wilks is the sort of coach that needs a staff that excels in those aspects of the game where he's weaker. But, like Rivera, I don't know that he scouts assistants very well. That as much as anything might be why he's not in the NFL now.
