Detroit beat Vinny's Redskins this year....so you are right, we are not as bad, we were worse under Vinny.

IT was more Millen vs. Vinny and since they don't actually take the field their draft record maybe a part thing to compare them too.

Sorry but I take Vinny over Millen, now at LB Millen all the way.

The Loins?

ewwww

Re: Just plain awful, Detriot Loins.
 

The Loins! Classic

Zack Follett was on ESPN this morning and he took a not so thinly veiled dig at the previous regime, but did have praise for what Mayhew is doing there

My buddy from Detroit calls them that, I think it is funny!

You have a hard time understanding humor, I have learned that.

Re: Just plain awful, Detriot Loins.
 

well to be fair most teams in the NFL probably don't have very many players from their 02 and 04 draft classes. 05 to 06 it may a little higher. in today's NFL players move around. who is left from our draft class from 02-04??? maybe cooley?

Re: Just plain awful, Detriot Loins.
 

I thought their last two drafts were great.

Re: Just plain awful, Detriot Loins.
 

It's still crazy to think just how bad Millen was there.

Does Dockery count if he came back?

Re: Just plain awful, Detriot Loins.
 

If you look at the names on that list, it's not like they were drafting guys that were projected to be busts. They actually got some highly touted guys from each of those draft classes. Now they may not have any idea how to coach or use these players in the right schemes. I would say alot of those guys missed because of scheme and being doomed in Detroit.

Some guys should just let their playing days be their legacy.

Re: Just plain awful, Detriot Loins.
 

[quote=SmootSmack;711610]Does Dockery count if he came back?[/quote]Well, considering Cooley isn't on his rookie deal anymore, I'd say he has to.

I find it amusing to see him on ESPN as.......NFL expert. I mean if the dude knew an F..n thing about football, would they be in the shape they are??
Chief Z could give far more accurate insight

Re: Just plain awful, Detriot Loins.
 

Millen was a great NFL player and at one point many thought him the heir apparent to Madden as the pre-eminent color commentator. He's a really sharp NFL mind...which is why his tenure in Detroit is such a head-scratcher

Yeah everytime I see him I've got to laugh. I find it funny ESPN hired him to me they loose some credibility.

His commentary is always pretty good to me, I don't think because he was a bad GM it precludes his opinions as an analyst. They are two completely seperate things.

Not really. Being a great player doesn't mean you know how to draft and build a franchise. He was a great commentator, but there your experience as a player is more directly related to what you do. Building a winning team means being able to manage personnel, money, and be good at politics at the same time. Millen's name was pushed around a couple years before he took the Lions job and I thought those folks were morons at the time. I don't think Madden could have pulled it off(making the Lions winners), and he was a HOF coach. Millen was the GM equivalent of Zorny as HC, totally in over his head.

Re: Just plain awful, Detriot Loins.
 

Maybe they're doing the right thing for once...cleaning up after the Matt Millen disaster-filled-era.

The sad part is they beat the Skins.

I will back you up Bro. It did mean nothing, excpet for utter failure, the loss of Zorn's job, and the Vinny stepping the f down as head idiot. [I][B]Looking back on it the loss to the lions set this whole ball of awesome rolling!![/B][/I]

I've got nothing.

Re: Just plain awful, Detriot Loins.
 

One loss out of how many recent games with the Lions?

That loud thuuuuud!!!!! after that loss was us hitting the bottom. I will never forget how sh*tty and embarrassed I felt after that game...the cell phone going off, the next day back at work...that was lowest ive been in 25 years of being a Skins fanatic....hopefully I will be able to reference that moment as the turning point in the SKins franchise where the Shanny/Allen era began and put us back on top

And I just had to be there. Had a lil too much to drink and ended up walking most of the way back up to 10 mile. I was in row 4 behind the Skins bench, not sure I ever posted the pics though my batts died shortly into the game.

We beat them 23 times in a row I believe...it was bound to happen eventually.
