Houston, There's a Problem

You almost blew it against the Lions.  

I missed most of the first quarter of the Lions-Houston game.  Working outside.  Should have stayed outside.  Another loss makes the Lions 0-6 this season--they've lost 13 of their last 14.  And you thought Wall Street was in bad shape.

Who took the Lions defense in their fantasy draft?

The Lions made the game somewhat interesting, but they are far from being a competitive team.  I admit it--they fooled me with their 4-0 preseason.  They make opposing players who are not all-pro look like they are.  They make weak teams look like they are headed to the Super Bowl.  In some of their previous losing years they could at least "make a game of it" -- they cannot even do that  now.  

Firing Millen will help, if they find a quality replacement.  Trading Roy Williams for draft picks may pay off, but not for a while.  And remember, drafting talent has not been a strength of the Lions organization.  Replacing coach Marinelli will happen, but no one could have won with the current talent.

Looking forward to watching the opponents.  Jim Zorn and the Washington Redskins come to Ford Field next Sunday.
