The Detroit Lions: Driving in circles

No the ACL was in college. He tore up his shoulder. Seperated it or something. He would have been available to play by week 10 or 12 last year but they put him on injured reserve. Terrible move considering he could have played some second halfs that last month of the season.

 

Ah yeah.
Shoulder ... knee ... what's the difference. With a Lions quarterback, no body part is safe.

 

Not under this generation of leadership.

 

But Honda has evolved with the times and accompanying technology. The Ford family has not, and that has affected both their automotive business and the Detroit Lions.

The family's namesake vehicles have had a dependability issue, at least compared to their Japanese counterparts. The Lions have had a myriad of problems, the first of which starts with their stubbornness to not do anything with Matt Millen, which has empowered an incompetent man.

Usually, I'm the first to stand up and applaud loyalty and the Fords have clearly done that with Millen. But in this case, the results have clearly shown that the loyalty is misplaced.

 

Why not? If there's any thread that deserves to sink into a black hole from which there is no escape, it's one on the Lions.

 

Detroit Lions and black hole: You repeat yourself, sir.

 

Honda's may be better cars, according to recent sales, but I'm just curious about how they are behind the time in technology? People always say that Japanese cars are more dependable, that might be true... but its not like that would be William Clay Ford Jr.'s fault.

If you take that route, you might as well blame him for GM and Chrysler too.

 

Well, now that his lusty lover-man, Mike Martz, is in SF, Kitna's invulnerable unchallengable status as the incontestable No. 1 QB may be a wee bit doubtful.

Maybe the first time Jeeezus Boy throws four picks in a 44-14 loss, somebody will say, "hey you think maybe it might be a good idea to throw one of the 25-year-old QBs in there and see what they can do, instead of the 37-year-old turnover machine??"

The Lions are five years away from being a .500 team. Apparently they think 42-year-old Fucking Jon Kitna is going to be the guy who takes them there.

 

If it weren't for their trucks, Ford would be deader than McKinley.

It speaks volumes.

 

Alligators' arms aren't as short as Schroeder's. That's why Favre wanted him out of Cheeseville so bad.

The Lions are driving in circles that directly resemble the Coriolis Effect, if you know what I mean. Only the drain, so far, is eight years long, counting this one.

 

And if it weren't for customer loyalty, the domestic makes would be dead. If people went into dealerships with an open mind and not so terribly bent toward that particular make, I'm convinced the Big Three would be in Bigger Trouble.

Mustang, dependability with domestic vehicles is the Big Three's own fault. They never had the urge to shore up the problem until the Japanese proved it could be done. Lack of competition bred laziness, the Japanese started eating the Big Three's lunch and the bag it came in and the Big Three is now paying the price.

To get back on topic, though, this is about the Detroit Lions and their epic inability to get much of anything right. My parallel about the Ford family's willingness to modernize both its automotive business dealings and its NFL franchise stands.

 

What's her time in the 40?
