He's a decent- maybe even good- running back, who can't catch a break. They need to get him more action now!<BR/><BR/>Maybe we could trade one or two before next season... which leads to a thought: Wouldn't it be ironic if Millen stocked up on WR for future use in deals, the way the Tigers stock up on pitching?<BR/><BR/>I sense major changes this offseason. Again.

At 6-2 I was talking about the playoffs, winning 11 games, just plain craziness. I'm not sure if I actually believed or if I just felt like as the fan of a 6-2 team it was my right to talk of such things. <BR/><BR/>RW is a great talent but like Shaun Rogers he seems to take games off. Also, I've noticed that he has a tendency to get frustrated when his QB plays poorly. That isn't a quality that Lions WRs can afford. <BR/><BR/>I don't see KJ as a real impact player. He's a good running back, but those aren't terribly hard to find in free agency or the draft.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09822670113795896178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20500414.post-78414051706130506372007-12-04T17:27:00.000-05:002007-12-04T17:27:00.000-05:00It's unbelievable how fast this whole thing came c...It's unbelievable how fast this whole thing came crashing down. <BR/><BR/>Can it be any more apparent that the Lions' 6-2 start was the quintessential example of putting lipstick on a pig and calling it pretty? <BR/><BR/>Sgt. Marinelli seems to be doing the best he can with the poor roster that Matt Millen assembled and Mike Martz's stubborn refusal to run the ball (because it doesn't make him look like a passing game genius). But if this already wasn't over his head, it's at least at chin level, and the Sarge is fighting for air. <BR/><BR/>Here in Detroit, we usually turn on players who leave this city, but in this case, I think we'd actually be happy for Roy and K.J., knowing they have a chance at football happiness elsewhere.Ian C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01249763037058741373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20500414.post-66787513048620160032007-12-04T16:45:00.000-05:002007-12-04T16:45:00.000-05:00I can't tell you how glum reading this makes me fe...I can't tell you how glum reading this makes me feel. Over here in Milwaukee we're of course fed a constant stream of all things Packers. They were awful for two decades until they hired Ron Wolf. Coincidence? The Lions were mediocre until they hired Millen. Coincidence? My friends here just smile and shake their collective heads when they remember I'm a Lions fan. Pity, is what it is. They get fired up for Vikings and Bears games, Lions games...there's no rivalry at all. Is Ford Jr. involved that much with the team anymore? He's the one who got the old guy to hire the stooge in the first place. I don't have a clue why I continue to care so much about this team. My stomach hurts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
