Maybe the federal government, as part of the bailout plan, can send a good management team over for the Lions

Not a whole lot of receivers this year; I can think of Crabtree from Texas Tech; any one else think of another?
Who's projected to be the top WR in the draft this year??
Is Crabtree a SR, or a Jr. ?
Edit: the below appears to be wrong, see different possible schedule here (or just keep reading, post #38): http://www.satelliteguys.us/sports-section/159248-worst-team-ever-2.html#post1640959
We can see who they'll play:

Which i think is...
Home: Arizona, St Louis, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, NYG, Philly, Dallas, Washington
Away: San Francisco, Seattle, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Carolina, Atlanta, Tampa Bay, New Orleans
Something could be off/wrong there.

Close second would be the pirates.
Pittsburgh Pirates...Rebuilding since 1979.
I read that this was the 19th season in a row with a losing record, if that's true, I feel you're pain. Welcome to MY world, Tom.
Lions promote Tom Lewand to Team President and Martin Mayhew to GM.
BOTH have been with the Lions for quite awhile now.
NOTHING is going to CHANGE in Detroit in the foreseeable future as far as the Lins are concerned.
They made NO EFFORT to find a bonified NFL caliber GM from the looks of things.
This is a sad situation when they won't hire someone from outside the organization.

Have to look ahead for two years; worst part is that they will have to draft a QB who will have to learn trial by fire . . . always hated that . . . college kids need a minimum of 2 yrs on the bench to learn the NFL game . . . maybe the Lions can get a veteran just to hold the reins for a year or two
wow that is ridiculous jimbo . . . they don't even take a minute to think about it . . . fans should protest and not renew their tickets next year
We still Culpepper under contract for next season. With such pressing needs on defense (any position), and the fact that we WILL have another top 5 pick next season, I don't see any urgency in picking a QB this draft. Plus I think there may be a better crop to pick from in the 2010 draft. A monster LT like Andre Smith (Alabama) would help protect the fragile Culpepper. Brian Orakpo (TEXAS DE) would go a long way to helping the Lions immiedetly.
Code:
HOME
Arizona
St. Louis
Cleveland
Pittsburgh
[B]NFC East [/B]
AWAY
San Francisco
Seattle
Baltimore
Cincinnati
[B]NFC South[/B]Each team plays the other teams in its division home and away each season in addition to games listed; last game in each column to be determined by previous year's finish.
Ya, as the page says this scheduling will either be redone or dropped after the 2009 season, so we'll see what they do. It's worked well IMO, at least until we get new expansion team(s) or changes to the schedule (more games, etc) which might be worth a thread on it's own, some good and very bad ideas out there.
Yup i think I did/read it wrong. I think it should be:
Home: Arizona, St. Louis, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Washington, Minnesota, Green Bay, Chicago
AWAY San Francisco, Seattle, Baltimore, Cincinnati, New Orleans, Minnesota, Green Bay, Chicago
- division
- based on record
