First time they won 5 straight since 1993.

Of course MM will keep his job. Ralph's not going to choke on his contract for three more years.

I have a feeling TD isn't going anywhere soon. But that can change after 2006. http://www.democratandchronicle.com/apps/p...347/1007/SPORTS

The only way for change is venting. Lets hope someone listens. OK Ralph !!!

After five years of Millen running the worst franchise in the NFL deeper into the ground, the move would be long overdue. Oh Im sorry...I thought they were talkimg about Donahoe. But if the Detroit Lions president wants anyone to believe he learned anything about values during his playing days, he ought to do the only honorable, team-first thing on the week he fired another of his coaching hires. He should resign. After five years of Millen running the worst franchise in the NFL deeper into the ground, the move would be long overdue. The Lions stunk when Millen took over. They are worse now. The fact he will be hiring the third head coach under his tenure is just one of a million mind numbingly bad stats. There should be no shame in failure for Millen. He was hired as an out-of-the-box idea for a franchise that has won just a single playoff game since 1957. The Lions have wallowed between bad and mediocre for so long that the hiring of a TV personality with no front office or business management experience seemed like a what-the-heck gamble. How much worse could it get, right? Millen could always talk a good game, but in the Motor City, he has shown an aptitude for nothing else. The Lions are a league-worst 20-55 since his hiring in 2001, worse even than the expansion Houston Texans and Cleveland Browns. Despite spending five first-round draft picks on offensive skill positions, the Lions are averaging just 15.8 points a game. In head-scratching fashion, Millen chose wide receivers in the first round in each of the last three drafts. One of the receivers, Charles Rogers, was suspended for a month this year under the league's substance abuse policy. Both of his two coaching hires – Marty Morningweg, who famously once chose to kick off after winning the coin toss in overtime, and Mariucci, who ran an offense that seemed allergic to throwing downfield – have been fired. The team has few stars, no clear course and more holes to fill than five years ago. And yet Millen remains. Why the Ford family gave him a five-year extension last summer remains a mystery in Detroit. It wasn't like Millen was a hot commodity. No other franchise would've been foolish enough to hire him. While much of that money wasn't guaranteed – meaning he could be bought out – there has been no indication that he's being sought by another team. The guy just isn't a good administrator and letting him hire another head coach just delays his inevitable doom. Admitting failure is not easy, especially for a Super Bowl champion player like Millen. But to call his tenure in Detroit a catastrophe is unfair … to catastrophes. The brooming of Mariucci, who seemed uncomfortable with the personnel Millen kept supplying him, is just the latest copout. It's not that Mooch had done much to deserve to stay – the Lions are 4-7 and looked hopeless in consecutive losses – but this is a mess that begins at the top. When Millen was hired, his credentials were questioned. He may have been a terrific arm-chair GM on FOX broadcasts, but what, exactly, did he know about setting up a winning franchise? His response was he played for Joe Paterno at Penn State and Bill Walsh in San Francisco and pretty much left it at that. He had football values, a no-nonsense attitude and a big work ethic. He rode a Harley. He was a tough guy. The Ford family bought it. They are still buying it. No one else is, though. So if Millen really wants to honor his mentors, honor the game he holds so dear and prove that tackle drills, wind sprints and adoring cheerleaders really do make football players better human beings, he ought to do what is right and step down now. It doesn't make him a bad guy. It doesn't tarnish his great playing career. It doesn't make him a poor announcer. It would just make him a respectable football man.

I said this awhile ago and all his groupies were all over me. http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?showt...86entry503486

Someone please post a link. When they come out with a bang cartoon for this. It will be hilarious.

I'd take Wade Philips. We already have our special teams coach. So that problem solved. But Ralph would not have the guts to hire him back.

The players seemed to play with alot more intensity under Greg Williams. With MM you get no intensity and bad coaching.

What the Jumbotron operator at Texas Stadium did Sunday was so nefarious, so vicious, so nasty that even mentioning it seems cruel. His crime? He flashed Cowboys quarterback Drew Bledsoe’s up-to-the-minute stats at some point of the third quarter, and they were ugly. Nine-for-20 ugly. So ugly that, upon seeing them, receiver Keyshawn Johnson shouted to Bledsoe: “Hey, J.P. Losman, good game.” Now, aside from calling him Quincy Carter, there may be no worse insult for Bledsoe. Losman is the kid the Bills chose to replace Bledsoe this off-season. He has been worse than awful for most of the year. Johnson was joking, of course. Bledsoe, after firing back a good-natured expletive, chuckled. What the numbers and the Losman reference are good for is reminding everybody that, while it may indeed be all about the quarterback in the National Football League, there are days when it has to be about the running back.

The helplessness I feel is: That I have no control over these f-cking clowns sinking the ship at One Bills Drive. Its time for Donahoe and his merry men to walk the plank.

True...The million dollar question is: Who will buy the Buffalo Bills ? My wish would be...someone who is young, rich, and hates to lose.

I can take it two years maybe three. But five is ripping me apart. And I see no light at the end of the tunnel. Ralph Wilson is the only one that can do anything. He may be a bit cheap ,so he will not choke on the contracts of TD and MM. So will probably have to wait even longer. How can Tom Donahoe sign a first year head coach to a five year contract ? Especially when he screwed up the first time. I can't help myself...but I actually hate Tom Donahoe and what he's done to my team. And Im losing all hope watching Ralph Wilson doing nothing. Us fans have to do something or this may never change. Maybe 70'0000 bags on our heads or everyone strike a certain game and not show up. I pray some major changes come soon. Because this is just unbearable !!!!

I got a better idea. Let us fans pick one game. Then not one person show up at the stadium. Let them play in front of an empty stadium. Will call it "Fire Tom Donahoe Day" That will get Ralph's attention.

If he played yesterday he would of been knocked out again.

My mistake then. I heard he was no where to be found in San Diego. I heard this on the post game show. They just had the players after the game. But no MM. If I was wrong...sorry Mike.

Or is it all right for a head coach to sneak out the back door. I think he should of manned up for the questions. It speaks volumes of of the lack of guts our HC has. When times get tough the tough get going (I don't think that meant going out the back door)

But we still have TD drafting his type of players. So Marvin might of been fired by now.

Its Clark Judge's cousin

Or is is ego to big.

I just hate being so helpless. Im a 28 year season ticket holder and wish I had some power to change things. Like fire TD and MM . http://www.realfootball365.com/nfl/article...recap211105.php

I know he wasn't the fastest player. But he can catch and he was smart. He was better than some of the stiffs we kept.
