This is as dark a day as I have faced as a Packer fan since Mike Tice left Minnesota.

All good things must come to an end. In the spirit of sportsmanship this Packer fan welcomes you Lion fans back into the division and the NFL. I admire your ability to have borne your long suffering with so much dignity. See i know a little bit about long suffering having lived through Bengston, Devine, Starr, Gregg, and Infante.LIFE IS GOOD AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU BILL FORD, JR. for having some balls and finally calling it like it is.
I still think Sr. and Jr. had the statement that went public all planned....but
I'm so excited right now I can't even believe its happening.......YAAAAAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOO!

It actually shouldn't take too long... As bad as Millen was on draft day, there are some talented players on the field. They need better coaching (from top to bottom) and some key components added, which may be easier to find than people think.As early as next season I could see them start to turn it around IF they hire a GM (a good GM) who makes moves immediately.Scooby1974 said:Too bad the Lions still suck though...How many years will it take to rebuild that mess?Anthony Borbely said:LIFE IS GOOD AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just the first step of many, many steps needed to turn this franchise around.
Next up, turning the team over to Bill Jr.
This move won't make them any better this year, but it had to be done. It would've been interesting to see what the fans would've done at the next home game had this not happened.

May I suggest giving the coaching and GM reigns over to Mike Sherman.It actually shouldn't take too long... As bad as Millen was on draft day, there are some talented players on the field.

Please Bring in Cowher. Let him Coach out the rest of the season.

Fixed.
You really trust Ford Sr to put somebody in place much better?Until I see it, I don't.Fixed.
I hope he goes to the league for help this time around.

I don't believe that. Millen has been a dark cloud hanging over this franchise for too long to remember. Think about how the players feel right now....if we're excited you can imagine how they are feeling, being the joke of the league sucks. Maybe they can actually go out and play with some confidence that things are going to get better starting today.I understand this doesn't change anything as far as what they have physically been doing, but it has to help mentally knowing the terd has finally been released and flushed away.Fixed.

Millen is gone.. great! Really that was the easy part.... and should of happened years and years ago. The Lions ownership hiring someone qualified and who knows what they are doing will be the hard part. It might be hard to find a worse GM than Matt Millen.. but if it is possible... they Lions will find a way to do it.
Obviously. But firing millen isn't going to magically turn the Lions into a playoff team.This next hire is very important.Um, I think you'd have to search the universe to find somebody worse, don't you?You really trust Ford Sr to put somebody in place much better?Until I see it, I don't.Fixed.

Funny, I was just thinking about how much the NFL misses his presence. The league just isn't as interesting without him.Please Bring in Cowher. Let him Coach out the rest of the season.

Incredibly unlikely IMO. He's more valuable to the team than what they could get in trade for him.

Was Cowher in charge of personnel decisions in Pitt? Great coach, but not sure he's really the answer for the GM position. The Lions need to go with a safe, proven personnel guy this time around.Please Bring in Cowher. Let him Coach out the rest of the season.

As a Lions fan I am happy for this news, finally. But my enthusiasm is tempered because I expect several more very bad seasons before the Lions can field a respectable team.
This team has less talent than an expansion team, and is weighed down by very bad salary cap management. Be prepared that the worst is yet to come.

Agreed, but hopefully Sr. is going to let Jr. run the show and find someone with some experience this time. This is a step in the right direction after taking 8 yrs of steps backward.Obviously.

I heard Matt Millen suggested for next year's draft to hold the War room at Chuckie Cheese. I guess that was the final straw.
unno, what did we do this year?
