Bitchslapped again today by the Bears?
The Lions are in choice company along with the Blackhawks, Islanders, and Raiders as the worst run franchises in sports.
Amazing how the Lions still draw fans with such a pathetic lineup.

That's the sensation you get when you see a Lions game in person...we aren't fans, we're victims.

I thought Millen came across pretty smart on the Sunday ESPN radio games inna day. and far more preferable than Boomer "I think my shaved Mister Spock Eyebrows make me look smart" Esiasion.
but, no doubt he's sucked at Detriot.

Can you say the same in Oakland? Green Bay? etc.
Drafting 3 WR with your first round pick 3 years in a row is just plain stupid. He should have mixed in a Defensive or Offensive linemen in that mix. Drafting is not a science but there is some common sense involved. Millen is a joke.

All it takes is a couple of these kids to make a splash and clueless knobs such as yourself will slurping his sack claiming you knew he was a genius the whole time.
Detroit hasn't done shit with Millen as GM and his shitty drafting. It's pretty easy to point out who is clueless.

Detroit's defense is ranked 20th, 22nd and 25th the last 3 years. He might want to take some of that offensive focus and improve the defense and he still hasn't addressed the QB situation. Even if 1 of the 3 WR he drafted turned out to be a stud, that won't win many games with a shitty defense.
