The laundry list of excuses that never include the reason.

You literally just strung together a list of excuses for why a 4-12 team should have been in the play offs? A 4-12 team? Seriously?

How about "they failed to consistently show up on game day ready to play ball"?

They did show up against the titans, they gave it away. They did show up against the bears defensively and given where that game was played in primetime, they did well. They beat the 4-3 seahawks and after beating jags is where their losing slump began. At vikes, who were 5-4, packers who were 6-3 and won late on a int return, texans who were 10-1 and we know how that turned out. After that they were done at 4-7, and in came the under the radar overachieving colts who were down 13 at one point in the game, then came the packers again in which they led until late third in Lambeau, after that they were drained on a second straight road trip going to Az out west. With the exception of that game and Atlanta, their last seven games 5 of them were all close losses. Lions had to play contender after contender. Their problem was not not showing up on game day but not being able to finish games.

"Showing Up" means arriving prepared to play 60 minutes of football. Not kicking arse for the first 1/2 then just being on the field for the second 1/2. It's being mentally prepared to play all 60 minutes @ 100%. Football is as much mental as it is physical.

Now. The Lions are a team.... An organization and that means if the players bust arse for 60 minutes but the coaches screw up the second half adjustments as a whole they have problems. Problems that players can not effect.

I don't believe any teams intentionally "give away" games... Someone fails to do their job, be it players or coaches.

In my honest opinion Atlanta has a coaching problem.... So do the Texans. Kubiack and Smith are the reasons they don't go as far as their on the field talent says they should.

As much as Payton is the reason we win, Schwartz is the reason the Lions lose.

Not all head coaches can get it done.

Stafford "Reggie, stop dancing and run north/south"

Reggie "Damn, you yell at me just like Brees"

... and later, in the Lions front office:

Lions Executive VP of Football Operations/General Manager Martin Mayhew: "Reggie, we had a running back that spent a lot of time running east/west before going north/south and that was Barry Sanders. You are no Barry Sanders. Listen to your quarterback".

He is no Darren Sproles either!

Yeah, that's why I kinda' wish Reggie would just stfu until he's made a substantial contribution to the team,

. Motivating yourself & your teammates is a good thing, but writing checks you may not be able to cover is just setting yourself up for a fall.

We know Bush is capable of doing a lot of good on a team like the Lions.

They already have Stafford and Johnson; Bush is one more scoring threat that a DC has to contend with.

I believe Detroit is under a RB curse. I thought Kevin would do the job - fail. Then David - fail again.

Cursed and under a spell left by Wayne Fontes.
Matt Millen - EPIC fail.
I also feel Iron Mountain Steve was given a raw deal.

Eliminate the spell and Detroit may have a chance.
For now, consolidate the Vikings and Lions into a team and pick off the good parts...

1. Peterson
2. Bush

!. Stafford
2.

1. Megatron
2. Jennings

Ford Field

Now you have a show to slap down Clay and company. (Sorry, I just don't like Aaron Rogers.)

There is the infamous "Curse of Bobby Layne", but that was only a 50yr curse and should have expired by now,

. I think it may be a "Ford Motor Company" curse ... they've made a living out of being the #2 auto-maker, second-best, back-of-the-pack, yada-yada-yada and that business acumen has just rubbed off onto their NFL team,

Detroit has talent. They're just a bunch of thugs.
