We Jets fans know a thing or two about a few miserble years. Or maybe a tad more. God speed to these Lions fans. Hope they make a difference. Some fans in Detroit are planning to protest the dismal state of the William Clay Ford-owned and Matt Millen-led Detroit Lions in their home finale for the second straight year. Last season, about 500 people marched, chanting "Fire Mil-len!, before the Lions hosted the Cincinnati Bengals, and many wore orange during the game. On Sunday against Chicago, another protest has been initiated by disgruntled fans. With 8:57 left in the second quarter, those interested in showing their displeasure with Ford and Millen are asked to walk out of their seats and to later walk out of the stadium. "They pay 60 or 80 bucks for a ticket, so they can do what they want with it," Detroit tackle Jeff Backus said. "It's their right to do that. We're not putting a good product on the field, so if that's the way they want to react to it, then so be it." The Lions (2-12) are tied with Oakland for the worst record in the league and are an NFL-worst 23-71 since 2001, when Millen took control of the once-mediocre franchise. If Detroit loses to the Bears and at Dallas next week, its six-season total of losses will trail only Tampa Bay's 74 setbacks from 1983-88 in league history. Six Years Later... The record since president Matt Millen was hired in 2001 by the Detroit Lions, who are an NFL-worst 23-71 in that time: 2001 2-14-0 Last in NFC Central 2002 3-13-0 Last in NFC Central 2003 5-11-0 Last in NFC Central 2004 6-10-0 Third in NFC North 2005 5-11-0 Third in NFC North 2006 2-12-0 Last in NFC North* * -- Through 14 games
i like the asterisk(thru 14 games) next to the last in NFC north...as if they could win 4 of their last 2 to get out of last in the division
Gotta hand it to those Lion fans. Wasn't there a problem last year that no fan could wear anti Matt Millen apparel? Hope that stadium is empty Sunday.
Lions have a good, loyal fan base. They deserve better than this. 6 freakin years of millen, Kotite barely finished two here!
While they're at it, Why can't they Do that with Fords too? Walk out cause they're putting shit products out on the market.. :lol:
I KNOW!!! I was gonna say. I saw a few minutes of that game and the stadium looked pretty full from the areas I saw.
