Good effort, Patrick Peterson. Thank your teammates for coming away with the victory so the focus wasn’t on you for getting a beat-down to the tune of 10 catches for 120 yards.

Last year they won a few more than they should have and this year they lost a few that could have been wins. A .500 team folks, that’s what they are and it will take quite a bit to improve to serious playoff contention. The worst aspect of this season is that with all the free agents who could leave this year, who are going to be the replacements. Looks like the Lions will have to over pay for mediocre talent again.

I still don’t think he will, but now I don’t give a ish. That defense is horrendous. Also, despite his great stats, there’s something wrong with the Kid.

Much off season work is needed.

I see that 2 people disagree with an earlier post which just said that the whole Lions organization should be embarassed by the teams performance today.
What are you seeing that the rest of us aren’t ?.
Disagree if you want … but loyal and long suffering Lions fans deserve more from the Ford family.

Rock bottom low! Lower than an 0-16 season. So much talent. So little heart.
We’ve seen and heard all of the excuses game after game with each loss. Head coach, DC, OC, special teams, blah, blah, blah. This franchise will continue to be the laughing stock of the NFL until new ownership rights this century old train wreck of a so called football team. Jim Schwartz is a classless clueless coach who needs to be shown the door. His lack of coaching skills and lack of leadership and discipline has driven this team from bad to worse. 2011 was a fluke. After today’s loss I hope America finally understands what Lions fans go through and why Barry Sanders retired way to soon! We deserve better than this Mr Ford.

I know the Cardinals have a long and storied tradition of drafting near the top of the board, but they just came up against too experienced of a squad today. Much respect to the Cards, but the Lions as a franchise have been jockeying for top draft position so many years running, it really wasn’t much of a contest. Nobody does it better than the Lions, as they walked away with an easy 10-38 draft position victory.

Good bye Jim… and good Riddance.

You’re a mockery of a head coach and your team currently reflects your embarrassment.

Too much Lions talent going WASTED!

I hope…. GO LIONS… under SOMEONE ELSE.

Faring worse than expansion teams, the Lions have seen the ‘expansion’ Panthers make the Super Bowl, the ‘expansion’ Jaguars make the NFC title game, and now the Texans look poised for a deep run. In the meantime, the Fords have overseen a horrific run of drafts, free agency signings, and coaches who don’t display leadership that their charges can look up to. The contracts of many defensive personnel (Avril, Delmas, Hill, and Houston, to name a few) are up at the final gun of the Super Bowl and they won’t be able to sign all of them.

I lay the blame squarely on the Fords and their personnel decisions; dozens of NFL teams are succeeding with far less talent, though, after today’s pitiful performance, it may be that these teams have more talent. I hate to use a pyrotechnic sounding phrase in this politically correct world, but can we please blow this franchise up?
