Lions – What is the Secret?

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
As my history in the making Detroit Lions fight it out for dead last in the NFL, another sign of ineptitude shines through with a truly wimpish number 32 slot in the latest ESPN Power rankings.

Rod Marinelli says he is committed to doing things his way. Not sure if anything else needs to be added. (KS)

It is astounding to me that the ever popular coaching haven, the Oakland Raiders, still has the number 31 slot in spite of 2 victories. The Lions need not fear as there does not even appear to be one possible victory left on their schedule.

Yes, my Lions know how to not get it done.

If they pull off the first winless 16-game season, many people will wonder: Why the Lions? Why, of all the horrible NFL teams of the last three decades, can this one go 0-16?

The poor St. Louis Rams, for example, have scored fewer points than the Lions. They have allowed more points than the Lions. And yet, through no fault of their own, the Rams have won two games.

They must kick themselves. What, they must wonder, is the Lions’ secret?

So what is the secret?

It is a deadly combination of bad coaching, lifeless quarterbacks, lack of talent, tough scheduling (they don’t play the four other terrible teams), and an inability to do anything well.
