The Lions can't pass and can't run either

- BAKRIE TO INVEST MORE ON ITS SUBSIDIARIES Indonesia's Bakrie and Brothers (BNBR.JK) plans to increase investment in almost all of its subsidiaries through share purchases starting in the middle of this year, director Dileep Srivastava said. - ANTAM REVENUE DROPS 19 PCT Indonesian state-owned miner, PT Aneka Tambang Tbk (ANTM.JK), recorded a fall in its 2008 revenue to 9.51 trillionrupiah ($836.4 million), down 19 pct from a year earlier due to a drop in nickel sales volume. - INDONESIA'S DANAREKSA TO ISSUE BONDS Indonesia's PT Danareksa Investment Management aims to issue bonds in April this year worth around 200 billion rupiah to cover its working capital need. ) Man this is getting repetitive isn't it After writing about Lions losses for 16 games last year, I thought it couldn't get any worse.

Sure, they could keep losing, but there would be no intrigue left. The nation watched last season as the Lions stumbled to the NFL's first and only 0-16 record.Now they continue to lose, but no one cares anymore. They already accomplished the most dubious feat in the NFL, what more can they do to prove how bad they areAllow me to explain.You may have heard of the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers the expansion team that went 0-14 and up until last season, held the title of worst team in NFL history.I'm here to say, they still hold that title...for now. In 1977, fresh off an 0-14 season, Tampa Bay lost their first 12 games before finishing 2-12. That means they lost 26 games in a row, the longest losing streak in NFL history.Well guess what Detroit has lost 19 games in a row.They are seven losses away from tying that record. Anyone think it won't happen Can anyone really say for sure that the Lions will win a game this seasonI can say I think they'll win at some point this year, but you should probably ignore my thoughts. They are the psychotic ponderings of a delusional Lions fan.The Lions can't pass, and can't run either.

Schwartz is afraid to let Stafford air it out, because of the risk of turnovers. He's still thrown five interceptions in his first two starts.The Lions have one legitimate receiver One. The rest may have been solid options elsewhere with an experienced quarterback throwing to them, but not here.Stafford is a rookie with a big arm, but he makes very poor decisions and his accuracy is awful at this point. He may challenge Peyton Manning's record forinterceptions by a rookie quarterback.Teams will stack the box on Kevin Smith The Vikings did. Smith performed as admirably as possible, running hard all game, but it still wasn't enough.The entire secondary from 2008 was cut or traded, and new players filled in. You can't go from horrible to pro-bowl talent in one offseason.That the Lions led against Minnesota 10-0 at one point is nothing short of a miracle, but in the second half the stars dis-aligned, the Vikings cruised, and all was right with the world again.I don't need to write stats, I don't need to say which Lions played well and which ones played like pylons All you really need to know is the Lions lost Again.Cut and paste, rinse and repeat.

It's like Detroit is in the fifth circle of hell and this is their ironic punishment for all eternity.0-19 Hah! Just you wait, the Lions will show you.They're going to be the best damn worst team they can be. . ) Recent clashes between these two London rivals have been the stage for many Chelsea defenders to make themselves unlikely heroes. Juliano Belletti has scored twice against Spurs, and both William Gallas and Ricardo Carvalho have hit memorable winners.Yesterday, Ashley Cole added his name to that list.The left back stooped low to head beyond Carlo Cudicini just past the half hour mark to set Carlo Ancelotti’s side on their way to a win that keeps them top of the Premier League and maintains their 100 percent start to the season.But to pretend this was all plain sailing for the home side would be wrong. Harry Rednapp’s team looked the most likely to take the lead before Cole scored.And Robbie Keane was adamant he had won a penalty minutes into the second half which could have changed the complexion of the game.Jose Bosingwa came the closest of any Chelsea player to opening the scoring with seven minutes on the clock, hitting the angle between post and bar, but apart from that, it was Spurs who could lay claim to creating the best chances.Wilson Palacios put Jermain Defoe through for the away side’s first opportunity, but the England striker’s shot was blocked by Cech.Tom Huddlestone and Jermaine Jenas also came close to finding the net demonstrating why Spurs had a 100 percent record before last weekend’s meeting with Manchester United.Then with just over 30 minutes gone, Chelsea took the lead.Those inside Stamford Bridge could hardly believe the sight of Cole wheeling away in celebration, having headed in from Didier Drogba’s cross. However, the usually clinical midfielder shot wide when many would have put money on him scoring.Ledley King who had gone down injured in the course of the move was forced off, and Alan Hutton replaced him.The game then turned decisively on 54 minutes.Robbie Keane raced into the box and appeared to be caught by Carvalho, but no penalty was given.
