I’m a Michigander footballfather, so I am going to say this, the negative comments against the Lions are warranted because the organization is a joke! 1 playoff win since 1950???? If this team wasn’t supported by big brother (NFL), they would have been out of business back in the 70′s. EVERYONE should mock WCF for what he has done. Ford Motor only took off AFTER it was handed over to a non-Ford family member, it is time with the NFL team too.

Wow….haven’t seen so many asinine comments on one page in a long time!

Hey Lions haters: why don’t you do us all a favor and stop reading (and commenting on) articles about the Lions?

Cherilus is a BC Eagle like myself. But, even I know he’s a nobody.

The Detroit Lions should be thrown out of the NFL. The Toronto Argonauts are a good candidate to replace them.

Delmas? Pretty good player when he’s on the field. The problem is that he’s off the field too much. I can see the Lions possibly using the tag on him just to see if he can play a whole season.

Cherilus? Replaceable.

Avril? Thinks too much of himself. Does not play the run well enough to command the money he’s asking for. He’s worth $8-$9 million per year. if he gets more then he’s ripping off someone.

Delmas to Cincinnati. Be a fine addition to Reggie Nelson.

There is no plan and how to deal with the valuable players that are candidates to leave. This team has no concept of long-term planning with respect to securing a foundation and core that can dominate for the future. This is a yearly recycling of inefficient players filling in for the occasional decent player that is lost, and we are in a never-ending cycle of banging our head against the wall and barely maintaining let alone not growing into the achievement of dominance.

And this year the cycle will repeat again. I can’t name all of the exact people who will be new Lions this year, but I get the gist of what Mayhew is going to do and it’s going to be the same thing he always does and I’m expecting miserable results again this year. Unbelievable.

Delmas has so much promise….but like the story said, so did Bob Sanders. They do need to be on the field once in a while.

They need to hang on to Delmas. When healthy he’s one of the most effective safeties in the NFC, if not the NFL. Their D needs as much help as it can get, especially in the secondary.

Of course they won’t. When was the last time the Lions cared about winning? 1950?

All three of them are replaceable. Delmas misses too many games and a good amount of the few games he actually does play. Avril was OK last year but not worth what he’s wanting. Cherilus??? It still amazes me we are even talking about how good this guy is. All three can be upgraded in the draft.

Avril needs to go. He’s going to be a contract problem for his entire career.

I hope avril gets no where near what he’s asking

This is scary, I hope that their plans for Free agency and the draft pan out. By not locking down a position of need you are seriously rolling the dice.I guess you are all in for what may be your final season. My opinion that if you don’t re-do Stafford’s contact it is all for nothing.

Lions an play shld not be in the same sentence because they do not mix well together.
