There are two ways to end the "Fire Millen" chants.....either put a better team on the field, or make the team so bad fans don't show up anymore.....it appears this braintrust has chosen the latter.

I can't believe Matt Millen is still the GM of the Lions. Maybe Mr. Ford is trying to have the Goverment buyout his Lions & his car company? & Mr. Bush is dumb enough to do it!

It is not Millen's fault he was given a job that he cannot do. He is what he is. It is the owners fault for not accepting the fact he put the wrong guy in charge and doing something about it.

OK, so we know who has Millens back. The real question is who took his brain and will they give it back.

the question isn't whether the Lions have Millen's back, it's what does Millen have on Ford that he's using for blackmail to keep his job.... seriously, the guy got an extension, I wish I could be utterly incompetent at my job and get more money for it

BillieverZ28.. I've been saying that for about 4 years now.. how the hell does Millen keep a job? He's gotta have pictures of the owner pleasing farm animals or something. It doesn't make any sense.

Can Lions fans all agree to give a big thanks but no thanks to Gardner White for buying all the remaining tickets? The fans aren't taking it any more. Let the pocket books of Ford hurt. If he wants to give us inferior product, lets take away our revenue.

If I attend a Lions game, I have vowed to buy a ticket off of a poor schmuck who bought season tickets already. Please, no one buy any unsold tickets. Ford is making a mockery of us fans by keeping Millen around. No more.

The worst thing is, I predict the Lions will look awful, but then win the last 5 games of the season, keeping Millen around for another crappy year.

The only acceptable outcome is playoffs this year. Any thing less is a continuation of failure.

Hey Matt. Do the Lions a favor and resign voluntarily.

The question is, does Millen have the Lions back?

talking about a guy who should have been fired long ago...this dude takes the cake

yep a 5- 11 squad with a two game winning streak in december and all will be fine WILLIAM CLAY FORD LAND bring on another prommising year in 2009

Packer fans love Millen....We hope the Ford family keeps him another 10 years!!!!!

"Millen said he believes in Rod Marinelli more than ever before because Marinelli has remained consistent amid adversity." Yep, consistently bad and consistently losing...kind of like Millen, no wonder he believes in Marinelli...birds of a feather.

"if the Lions just do what they've been doing, they will win this year."......... ooooooookay......

Does he know they've gotten blasted in both games??

The question about Millen really is, Is he that stupid or that arrogant? A blind monkey could do a better job than Millen. He has absolutely no sense of talent evaluation and he keeps hiring inferior coaches because nobody in their right mind would work for him. He constantly remarks how he does not care what the fans think. Wonderful. Also, he keeps saying that he takes full responsibility for the failures of the Lions under his watch. That is just great Millen. We already know that it is all your fault. How big of you to remind of us of that.

Yeah Matt they have your back, also your head, and soul,
they own you dude! WR's and Now over the hill Running Backs!
isn't their other players on the team, linemen, blockers?
Kitnas days are also numbered, lose to S.F. and it will (the mob) get worse!

Ford has high expectations? Really?

"if the Lions just do what they've been doing, they will win this year." May only be 1 or 2 games but by golly they'll squeek one or two in there...what an idiot.

Millen is right. He's a visionary.

Just watch... after reading his latest comments, the Lions will play much better, win NFC North, do major damage in the playoffs and will reach the NFC championship game.

Ford's will be so impressed that they will give Millen a 5 year extension.

Millen will then inspire the Lions so much that they will win the Super Bowl next year.
