Mr. Ford wants to retain the current losers. Sadly, things are probably not going to change much, if at all. Mike-Alex Smith has a heavy duty injury-history now, but also is quite young. It is up to Alex Smith, what his future holds. I think that the Lions can ill-afford to take on any more "experiments", they need to find some dependable and difference-making players who can improve their chances for victory, not treading water. Ford, Jr. is the wild card. He has some sense, the "Old Man" appears absolutely F-ing clueless, given his recent statements Tom– your answer came yesterday.

There has been a lot of talk about who to draft why not look at who will turn the ship around. Perhaos Ford Jr. should take a more active role. Seems nothing happened with Millen until Jr spoke up.

I really have a good feeling about this--however, I have had good feelings before and they have been dashed so many times by this team. I was going to go, but a change of plans is sending me to Morgantown for the weekend. Have a good time at the game.

I think this might be the right opportunity to avoid immortal futility. One thing that is chafing me right now is the large number of people I hear on talk radio who actually want the Kitties to go 0-16. I can almost see their point that there is excitement to history, but it would be so damaging to the future and the reputation of this team to fall like this. I'm not going to be around the 'net this weekend, so I'm going to make my prediction: Motown 28 Jazztown 24. The Lions will win. My 0-16 prediction, one that I made, but did not want, will not happen. Mike–I think it could happen. I think this might be the right opportunity to avoid immortal futility.

I do think it could happen, if not likely. The Saints are very depleted in the running game, so we might stand a chance there. They will have to beat us in the air which might keep their offense off the field long enough for Jason Hanson to kick five field goals and let Lions squeek by with a one point win (15-14). Now THAT is a non-endorsement. I so badly want to avoid an 0-16 stigma. God, it's embarassing to be a Lions Fan. Peter King Picked the Lions to beat the Saints.

This is starting to get a bit out of hand. I just heard on WXYT an analyist make a comment regarding Marinelli's future--if it were any of the other 31 teams, he would be gone . . . but we are talking about the Lions. I wouldn't exactly be opposed to Kitna playing next year if we were building from the trenches. Maybe next year draft a quarterback who is not a pop-gun, shotgun, or even a rife. I want a cannon. I'm going to try to attend Sunday's game--maybe pride can carry the day. These guys have to have that much pride. They made a decent show against the Colts, maybe that can carry over. Maybe.

Let me throw a few out there . . . 1. Maybe it was improperly staffed and those manning the line were incapable of handling the onslaught? 2. Maybe there wasn't enough firepower on the line? 3. Maybe they gave up too early in the game? 4. Maybe it was strategically unsound? 5. Maybe everything else was fine, but the opponent just seemed to be a little bit better? 6. Poor leadership? Isn't it odd how each of these statements could potentially be made about the Lions O-line? I'm just sayin' . . . I'd like to see some dead chickens. "mmmmm dead chicken . . .

That will be interesting to see as well. BTW, is Alex Smith another Joey, or does he still have a chance to blossom under a new system? That will be interesting to see as well.
