That Lions team was truly dreadful. People forget (because we want to) that when the first post-Millen season started, they had zero players on the roster from their 2001-2006 drafts. Millen took a 70 year old franchise and turned them into an expansion team.

Both that year and the next one, Kowalski (RIP) would come on the local sports talk show every week and say "This is what the other team is going to do. The Lions cannot stop them from doing it. The only way they can win is if the other team self destructs." and 30 of 32 times, that's exactly what happened.
