Where do the Lions go from here?
Would it be better to sneak in the backdoor of the playoffs or to just tank it and go for the draft pick?
This year's draft is stacked. Reggie Bush sure would look a lot better than Shawnny Bryson on those three-yard passes, wouldn't he?
D'Brickashaw Ferguson could be the franchise left tackle the Lions have lacked for so long.
Vince Young could be...just about anything EXCEPT left tackle and be damn good at it.
The bottom line is this: Steve Mariucci ain't going to lead the Lions to a Super Bowl.
Best case scenario is he'll lead them right back where they were before Millen took over, which is exactly what Millen swore he would avoid back then.
The only option is to either cut him off and put in whatever coach on the staff is most aggressive (or one of their wives perhaps, judging by the ways these guys call games) to start putting in a real offense that suits these players.
It would also have to be the guy who is the biggest disciplinarian, someone who can get the "Three Divas" going and not accept their laziness.
Dick Jauron doesn't fit either option well, but is does better than Mooch.
Otherwise, the best option, yet again, is to tank the season.
We just might be right back where we started.
Millen said after the game that the mess was his fault and Mooch wasn't to blame...yeah right.
This is almost all on Mooch, with an assist from the Lions' old nemesis, the injury bug.
The Bears should finish about 8-8 with their easy schedule. The Lions won't finish better, and they don't have the tiebreaker.
Enjoy the rest of the season, folks.
