History or just another let down

Hey folks, hope everyone had a good Holiday...and now back to sports.

This Sunday, a couple of moments happened in NFL history, and none of them where a good thing.

Sunday say the Lions fall to 0-16, the first team in NFL history to do so. The question I bring to this is, are the Lions the product of a bad GM--who was fired in the middle of the season--or a bad coach. I look at it as the product that Matt Millen put on field, I mean how man wide receivers does a team need to have in the first round, and doesn't it make it hard for a wide receiver to get the ball when he has an inept quarterback and no offensive line or running game to speak off. With this season in the books, the Lions need to find a new GM and find a decent draft, and hope they can turn the season around. I feel sorry for Rob Miranelli, he will be the scapegoat for a season that was out of his control from the get go.

Second we bring you to the Denver Broncos, a team that was tops in the AFC west for all 16 weeks, and ended the season lossing to San Diego, and not making the playoffs. While injuries hit this team hard--7 running backs on injuried reserve--but having a defense that was 28th in the league was just sorry. While injuries can set a team back, the play of the Broncos was poor for the later part of the season. While out a running game, Jay Cutler was forced to pass the ball on almost every play, allowing defenses to key on the pass. Has the time come for the Broncos to part ways with Mike Shannahan? should he step down as head if personel decisions and just focus on coaching? Do Broncos need new set of Coordinators? there are a number of questions that need to be looked at this off season.

Well folks, the regular season is done, and it's time for the playoffs...should be a good year for some teams.
