Lions Achieve All-Time Level Of Suck

The Detroit Lions made history yesterday in their 47-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Not only were the Lions thoroughly embarrassed, they suffered their worst defeat on Thanksgiving day in franchise history.

A Lions' Fan Expresses His Opinion

Along with the Dallas Cowboys, the Lions have traditionally played on Thanksgiving but after yesterday’s debacle, the NFL might want to reconsider. Having Detroit in full view of a national television audience getting their asses handed to them isn’t exactly a ratings winner.

The Lions are 0-12 and are more than likely headed to 0-16, conjuring up memories of the expansion Tampa Bay Buccaneers who finished 0-14 in 1976.

In fact, the Bucs lost their first 26 games before getting their first win during the 1977 season.

It got so bad in Tampa that then head coach John McKay was asked how he felt about his team’s execution. “I’m in favor of it,” McKay replied.

The Lions are one of the oldest franchises in the NFL and it wasn’t that long ago the organization appeared to have turned a corner.

Last season after eight games the Lions had a 6-2 record and were in the hunt for an NFC North Division title. But Detroit faltered down the stretch, closing the season 7-9.

Detroit is easily the only organization in the NFL that literally sucks at everything they do, be it on the field or in the front office. Owner William Clay Ford might know something about the auto industry, but he clearly knows nothing about running a professional football franchise.

Fans have become so despondent in Detroit, my friend Isaac is hanging out at Bed, Bath & Beyond just to get away from the horror that is the Lions.

The Detroit Lions Need More Than a Bailout

I’ve even gone as far to suggest the NFL demote the Lions to Division 1-AA, where they might have a chance to win a game or two. No one in the league office appears to have heeded my advice, but they might reconsider after yesterday’s beat down.

During halftime of the Cowboys-Seahawks game, Fox analyst and former Dallas coach Jimmy Johnson suggested the Lions need to hire an outside consultant to assist them in overhauling the organization.

I don’t believe one consultant would do much good. The Lions need an entire team of consultants offering a wide range of services. Detroit might want to hire NASA scientists and psychic friends too.

At this point what do the Lions have to lose, other than their next four games?

Even a complete overhaul of the organization means the Lions will continue to suck for several more years before the right coaching staff and a roster full of NFL caliber talent can be amassed.

Speaking of caliber…well, we won’t go that far. But some fans in Detroit might.
