Laughable Lions 2

Jon Kitna throws two picks and coughs up the ball once. He, alone, was responsible for three of Detroit's four turnovers. The offense was incapable of putting the ball in the end zone forcing the Lions to settle for field goals when they needed touchdowns. Head Coach Rod Marinelli, again, made highly questionable decisions. No surprises, here. The Lions lose and fall to 2-12. DET 9 GB 17.

When you look at the numbers, they truly tell the story for Detroit:

• 10 first downs
• 2 for 12 on 3rd down conversions
• 58 rushing yards
• 84 passing yards
• 6 sacks for a loss of 51 yards
• 4 turnovers

The Lions are a joke. The season home finale is next Sunday against the NFC North champion Chicago Bears who have clinched home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Then we close out the seaon at Dallas. I anticipate the Lions will lose both of those games and finish 2-14 for the campaign. The only question is will the equally hapless Oakland Raiders win one of their final two games giving Detroit the #1 pick in the 2007 NFL Draft? Go Raiders!!

Oh, Good Evening!
