  • On November 22, 1963 William Clay Ford, Sr. purchased a controlling interest in the team for $4.5 million.[4] This began a 43-year period that continues today, during which the Lions have won just one playoff game.
    Last title: 1957. After which they traded Bobby Layne.

    • They're kind of like the Bears. RB but no QB. Munson was probably one of the better ones.

        • I'll probably only watch some of it before getting disgusted with the Redskins offense and going to do something else before I get tempted to throw heavy objects at the television.

          • I think the Skins' offense is gonna look a lot better against a Lions D without Sims and Cliff Avril -- and possibly missing Grady Jackson as well.

            • Yeah, they'll probably even score a TD.

                I disagree. I think the Lions backups will perform adequately against the 'Skins offense.

                Your wild optimism is disturbing.

                  Wild? Harldy. The Lions have been a panacea for ailing teams.

                      No they aren't. The 49ers beat the Lions and then lost 6 straight. The Buccaneers beat the Lions and then lost 4 of 5. The Jaguars beat the Lions and then lost 6 of 7. And the Redskins lost 6 of 8! Beating the Lions is the kiss of death.

                      Combined with the above, that means the Redskins should be able to draft Tebow #1 overall next year.

                        The key here is beating the Lions. Getting a win. Doesn't mean that those teams can beat other teams. How bad would those streaks have been if they hadn't played the Lions?

                        • Even the good teams that beat the Lions went on a losing streak! And all the playoff teams that beat the Lions lost in the first round!

                            • The s lost 1 after beating the Lions the first time, then won two. They won the next game after beating the Lions the 2nd time.

                                They only beat two teams that had already lost to the Lions.

                                The Colts lost to the Chargers! The horrible un-Kissed Chargers.

                                A 1 game losing streak is still a streak.
