Why have the Detroit Lions sucked for sooooooooo long?

2 words for their struggles in the last few years.\n\nMatt Millen\n\nBack in the Barry Sanders era..........they relied too much on the "chuck and duck" (run & shoot) instead of building a good defense to compliment the best running back during that time.

People are always trying hold the Pistons down! I swear the good guys always finish last. Maybe this ref needs an enema, so that he'll be able to concentrate on the game!\n\nListen, I am from Grand Rapids, MI. Anyone from Detroit is a good guy to me. If you do like that then boohoo to you!

They went into their usual slump, but they didn't break out of it.  Historically, they usually have problems in Feb-mid-March.  Most of the time, they snap out of it in time to make a good run from mid-March on.  This time, they just didn't seem to have the drive.  I think the decimation of their defence for most of the year did not help.  They played much better when Jovo got back and he added a shot from the point on the power play.  Unfortunately, too little too late.  It depresses me and I am pretty pissed off about their lack of drive over the past 10 games.  Now I go through the playoffs with out my team.  Depressing really!

Detroit is pretty much hopeless and a coach won't help much. Steve was suposed to correct this. They'll have to get ride of their stupid owner and get some more talent

Well, if you are looking for a well educated answer, than none of them suck, since all of them have won Super Bowls. I suppose at the moment, the Raiders suck the most.

Well for starters don't listen to that idiot above me  hollisterdude57'. He's been asnwer all the questions like this. And all he talks about is CHuck Norris. \n\nALLEN PARK, Michigan (Ticker) - Coach Rod Marinelli watched Shaun King have some success with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now he's hoping King can do the same for the Detroit Lions. \n\nKing, who did not play at all last season after spending 2004 as a backup with the Arizona Cardinals, signed a one-year contract with the Lions on Friday. \n\nIn Detroit, King will compete with Dan Orlovsky for the backup job to Joey Harrington. \n\nThe Detroit Lions now head into Phase Three of the rebuilding process. Having solidified the coaching staff and the new aggressive philosophy, they now have to weed through their 53-man roster and look for three types of players: playmakers, role-players and dead weight. \n\nOf course I think it may take a couple of years for anything be to be noticed.

noooooooooooooooo that team sucks, sucked, and will foreverly suck in the future. If every other team mysteriously died they would still lose by the quarter back tripping himself for consecutive safeties

My good friend is a die hard Lions Fan so i am sure he would agree with you.  If history tells u anything it is that, YES, he is the worst, he has done nothing with the talent he has drafted in the last five years, he needs to work on the intangibles of a team like Offensive line and defense.

Because they felt sorry for the most pathetic team in the NFL.

Look at the roster.  Several high quality veterans (a couple are probably past their prime) and a boat load of young talent (1B Chris Shelton, SP Justin Verlander, RP Joel Zumaya, RP Jordan Tata, SP Jeremy Bonderman, OF Curtis Granderson).  They are going to experience some growing pains, excpecially late in the game with their very young group of middle relievers. If you look past the youth, though, those young players are all going to be mainstays at the major league level and they all should become household names in the next couple of years.\n\nThe tigers are still too young to go all the way, but they are good enough to beat the bad teams in the league and steal a few from the good ones.  Prediction: A strong run at the wild card before falling 3 weeks short of the playoffs.

Detroit makes some of the worst moves in football, I blame Matt Millen- but it may be some sort of Detroit curse. I think that Wilkinson and Davis are peas-and-carrots comparred to signing Shaun King and Jon Kitna. Leinart at #9? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING MILLEN????????????
