Are the Lions born to lose?

I live on the west coast but have been amazed at how the Detroit Lions manage to finish in the bottom half of the NFL standings 90+% of the time, as a result get high draft choices every year, and STILL manage to finish in the bottom half decade after decade. What's wrong with this franchise? Are they born to lose? 😵

Probably the administration...they need a visionary, who wold dream of someting, then they could follow that dream.

Edit: "Making money" is not a dream.

Of course the Lions were born to lose. They're the English men's football team, after all!

48. We should've won - Jansen never touched Hölzenbein. And don't get me started on the blatantly corrupt referee in the 1978 final.

Oh, you mean English years of hurt? Eight more than that, and it should've been 92 because in 1966, it was the Germans who were robbed.

It's already come home, but with the Lionesses, not the Lions. English women have bigger balls than their men.

Lionesses at Wembley tomorrow night against the USWNT. Should be a cracker.

65K tickets sold on the first day. Might get 87K - we will see.

Lost to the Patriots today 29-0

Patriots 3rd string quarterback, I think?

The Lions are not born to lose. They are mismanaged by ownership, who value profit over success, and fans don't care.

As a Giants fan, I need the Lions to beat the Cowboys today. What are the odds?

Odds are not good. Lions lost.
The Lions have become a team whose purpose is to give their opponent a win.

Lions beat the Packers today. Ouch.
Packers are now 3 and 6.

Packers have no confidence, easy to say Rodgers and brady should have retired already.
