The week of the Tom Dempsey 1970 game, N.O. Times Picayune Sports Editor Bob Roesler had a Friday Q&A column nterview with Lions kicker Errol Mann...the last question was "who would likely break the FG record?" (which was 56 yards in 1956 by the Colts Bert Recichar), Mann's response was "Jan Stenerud in Denver's thin air" (WRONG!!!) in Dempsey's very first game with the Saints, in a mid-1969 preseason game at Denver (8/16/69), his very first kick was a 54-yarder, straight down the middle that was *above the uprights* when it sailed above the crossbar...it would have been good from 80 yards....

"Curse of The Ford Family" is more accurate. When the Fords realized that Detroit football fans were willing to pay for bad football for generations, they figured there was no reason to spend their profits on building a winning team. Matt Millen was kept for so long because he did exactly what he was paid to do: lose. He only got fired after media and fan pressure. The Lions always draft a couple of stars on offense and defense... and have just enough wins to tease the fan into thinking "they're just a couple of drafts from the playoffs." Then the Lions fall back on their losing ways.

they moved to Detroit in 1934 also they didn't win a championship they lost to the bears in 1932 in the first ever championship game played but they did beat the packers who were depending champions in the Iron man game the most famous game in the Spartans history they won 19 to 0 with the same 11 guys playing offense and defense all game and kept the packers from winning there 4th championship in a row.

[@walshdog61]

When we went 0-16, I had season tickets. It was horrid, but you just felt like this was going to be as low as it would get. After that, the Lions drafted this 20 year old gun slinger out of Georgia who was said to not be able to win the big game in college and he wouldn't be able to do it in the pros. Since '09, we have had the Calvin rule, the Dallas playoff blunder, late season collapses, Hail Mary nightmares, injuries in bunches, and one of the greatest receivers ever retiring at such a young age. After going through all of this, I can say that Detroit will feel the sweet justice that is victory once they finally win the Super Bowl. This city will erupt into a bigger atmosphere than Mardi Gras.

Don't forget the second Bobby Layne curse. Just before Bobby Layne passed away, there was this new quarterback at the University of Texas shattering all of Layne's previous records. When Layne was asked how he felt about some of his records being erased by the Longhorns new quarterback, Brett Stafford, he replied, "He may have all the records he wants, but Stafford will never know what it's like to take an NFL team to the Championship." And then he let out his last breath. True story. So leave it to the Lions, who, knowing Bobby Layne's curse ended after the 2008 season, traded in one Bobby Layne curse for another by drafting Matt Stafford in 2009.

3:44--also on Thanksgiving Day 1980, they kicked off to start overtime against the Bears, and Davey Williams promptly returned the kickoff for the game-winning touchdown.

Matt Millen is one to talk. He contributed to about 6-8 years of this team's curse.

[@jimbeller7948]

Exactly. The dope chuckles about it completely oblivious to how horrible his tenure was - probably the worst span the entire 50 years.

[@greggyfree]

This video keeps being reborn. It's now the middle of the first year the NFL will play 17 games. Welp, the Lions are winless and I'm betting they're going to break another record.

Nope. 2008 marked 0-16. Coincidentally the same year Pittsburgh won another Super Bowl, in fantastic style. And don't even get me started on the officiating on this team.

[@steverogers2603]

As a Bears fan I am grateful for the Lions so we don’t have the worst record in the division every year.

[@armorybrunotjr.3204]

Actually, it was Tobin Rote (the cousin of New York Giants star Kyle),who paased the Detroit Lions to their last championship In 1957.

[@baketeach]

Roger Brown was the BEST Defensive Tackle in the 60's. Bart Starr stated emphatically when they played the Lions they would ALWAYS double team Roger... not Alex Karras. Jerry Kramer, Hall of Famer also said Roger was the most difficult DT he ever had to block.

[@dukekong2412]

And now Matthew Stafford, literally in his first year away from Detroit, wins a SB.

[@tennaj1367]

As a former Lions fan who grew up in Detroit,. I finally let them go for good after they inexcusably fired Jim Caldwell!😠 And I couldn't be happier !!👍

[@kyndread71]

That was a travesty. Jim Caldwell did not deserve to be fired.

Couldn’t agree more! I quit rooting for them after Stafford wanted out…watching him win the SB with the Rams was great to see

I don't feel sorry for Detroit. The Red Wings, Pistons, and Tigers have given them some great moments and championships over the years since the days of Bobby Layne.

As a life long Cowboys fan for over 50 years I sincerely feel we'll be next as long as Jerry is the Owner/GM of the Cowboys. Twenty six years, I felt we been cursed by Jerry Jones and even when Stephen Jones takes over we will continue to be cursed, I don't see no end until they a real NFL Owner or a real GM.

The curse will not be broken until Detroit beats the Steelers in the Super Bowl.

[@mach6893]

The curse will be broken once the Ford Family sells the team.

[@lyovadova128]

I just realized that 50 Year’s after the curse the lions drafted Stafford, so that means that he will win the super bowl

[@TL2354]

YOU will never win anything

[@DarkMAGABrownconservative05]

It has to start with owner, fans, GM, coaching staffs, and draft good players not cursed.

This is trademark NFL Films, a fun perspective on part of league history. The Psychic is part of that presentation.

[@NOC1TIME]

I remember the Gary Danielson days. One thing the Lions have always failed to do. Build a team around depth. Not a particular player.

[@fredjay1531]

or maybe it is because Detroit Lions are always playing against the zebras and the opposing team

Ford does know how to build quality vehicles, but doesn't know how to run a football team. Just ask the Wrigley family, who knew how to run a gum company but didn't know how to run the Cubs.
