End of an era...


Haaaaaaa Lelujah! Haaaaaaa Lelujah!
Ha Le Lu Jah, Ha Le Lu Jah
Ha Leeeeeeeeeee Lu Jaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Finally. Maybe I shouldn't have sold my entire seasons tickets... Not that it will matter. They're still ridiculously horrible for an NFL franchise. They still don't have the required talent to compete on this level, and they still don't (in my humble opinion) have a coach who can develop talent. Let's face it, Marinelli is a Line Coach, and nothing more. We need someone with a bit of tenacity to light a fire where the Sun don't shine, and get the correct personnel in the locker room, and on the field.

Going on 20 years (1989) since we drafted Barry Sanders (the best draft pick in Lion's history) we've had a running gag of an offensive line. We've never been successful in the trenches, we've never had a successful secondary, and we've never had a successful Quarterback at the helm. Is it possible the team is cursed? Some believe so...

I'm ecstatic that Millen is gone. I'm overwhelmed with the thought that new cornbread will soon be coming out of the kitchens at Ford Field. I'm also reminded to keep calm, and rationalize that we're still the worst NFL franchise in the last 10 years, and nothing on the field level has changed, or will change immediately. It's time for Kitna to sit down and watch Stanton make mistakes, and gain experience. This season is done, Cherilus, Stanton, Smith, Fluellon, etc... all need to be starting and taking the majority of plays at their respective roles. I doubt it will happen, as Marinelli will do what he can to save his own tail at this point... and those rooks don't represent his best chance to win. However, they likely have more heart than the idiots who've taken the field the last 3 weeks.

They say time heals all wounds.... 51 years and counting, it still hurts.
