Here's a few random thoughts, (actually I just wanted to use the word Random), on how to make the Lions more competitive.
The Lions should petition the league to get some special considerations, like two "do-overs" a game. They could be used like a challenge, but there would be no review, they could use them when they get that false start penalty or the holding penalty that kills drives. Maybe they should get three each half, like timeouts.
Another idea, let the Lions use twelve players or maybe even thirteen players every play. Maybe than they could get a receiver open on third down or block a blitzing linebacker, and maybe they could cover that guy that's open on third and seventeen when the other team converts on their way to a score.
Have Lions field goals count for six points, seven points if they're over fifty yard attempts. Jason Hanson is their best player and he would keep them in more games this way.
Require Lion opponents to start each defensive play lying on their backs, that way the Lions might be able to block someone and get positive yardage, as long as they don't trip over the prone defenders and get hurt.
Any of your suggestions for helping the Lions are welcome.

Dad,
Maybe a more realistic approach...like time travel for instance. We could go back in time and kidnap Bobby Layne, Joe Schmidt, and Yale Lary, juice 'em up on roids, then kidnap Barry Sanders...and kidnap the current NFL players when they were kids and give them wedgies and tell them they suck at football (of course then, we risk them all coming to the Lions. Never mind).
