"I ask this question every week, and I keep asking it because the Lions have never showed me otherwise but...Has anyone told the Lions defense that it's ok to tackle the other team? That it's ok to chase the runner down? I mean really, Chris Johnson runs 55 yards for a touchdown and the Lions practically stand still and let him run right by. Daunte Culpepper throws an interception and there's two defenders that easily could have tackled the runner. They act like pylons out there. Hey, some people want to re-name the team? Why not the pylons? It even works with the Detroit theme of construction. The Detroit Pylons. Has a nice ring to it. The Lions keep saying their main focus is stopping the run. Well saying they're not very good at doing what they say, is like saying drinking bleach is not a very good way to quench your thirst." -- Lions-Titans: Detroit Saves Their Worst Performance for Thanksgiving | Bleacher Report

Looking at the remaining schedule, I see no way for the Lions to screw up the #1 draft pick — unless they traded it for some doubtless great pick from yesteryear.
