Swartz was exposed the day he sent the WRONG message to his team when he overreacted to Harbaugh. He is simply tough talk and no discipline. Today, the Lions defensive front line doesn't pressure or scare any team on the field. As for Raiola, he should have been included on the list as well.

The last draft was the last straw they did nothing to improve the current team. The head coach is undisciplined how can we expect the players to be disciplined. The offensive line is a joke, there is not a running back in the league that could run behind this sad sack o-line. The lions do have a young good QB who would be much better if he had a decent o-line in front of him. The leadership of the lions seem to have done the one thing you cant do in sports - They believed their own hype and other more professional teams passed the woefull lions by just like always.

There is no excuse for the Lions poor performance. We all have a job to do and if your not good at at it trust me someone will let you know. People expected the Lions to do well because they showed potential. We're not asking for a Super Bowl over night but at least show up and fight! As a Marine I understand that if you show up to a battle without motivation you've already lost. I know this is not combat but still they must have a will to fight and right now the Lions are playing defeated.

Raiola and company can try to kill the anonymous messenger, but they can't kill the message. We were sentenced to another decade of mediocrity with fleeting glimpses of hope, when the Fords promoted Matt Millens' assistants.
Think about it. The hands down worst GM in the history of the NFL. Fire him, promote his right and left hand men. Only the Fords! Are the Lions the only team with co-GM's?
Un-prepared, Un-disciplined, Un-motivated, Un-inspired, under-achieving, under-Schwartz, Leyland and Mayhew.
