Well once again the Detroit Lions have put us in awe of just how low a franchise can sink. They lose their season opener to arguably the least talented team in the NFL, the Atlanta Falcons. There are no excuses for this loss, this should have been an easy "W".Year after year us as fans some how get sucked into how the Lions have supposedly improved in the off season, how they are going to pound the rock this year, how Mike Martz was holding them back, how the defense will be better once Marinelli has his Tampa 2 personnel, how once they get all the negative attitudes out of the lockeroom things will improve....
Well here we are again at the beginning of a new year and the Lions come out and look like garbage in the first game. Not only do they look like they lack talent all over the field, but it looks like they have the same exact problems as last year. The O-line sucks, the linebackers can't tackle, the D-line looks like they belong on the practice squad and now Jon Kitna seems even fed up with the coaching, as he was caught in a shouting match with the recievers coach during the game. I wonder if this has anything to do with the majority of our off season signings coming via players who left/were released from Tampa Bay??
Not since the Washington Generals, the lovable losers that could never beat the Harlem Globetrotters, has a professional franchise looked so incomprehensibly inept. I'm tired of Marinelli's excuses for this team and if I have to see that stupid Lions commercial asking "Do you believe in now?" one more time I'm going to hurl.
