Good Luck!

In recent years there hasn't been much to cheer about at Lions games, but Roy Williams at least brought some excitement to the field. His antics were always on display, if it was a close game, or if like most of the time they were down by a couple of touchdowns. Williams was a productive player on a bad team. Yesterday, Williams was traded to the Cowboys, for a 1st round, 3rd round, and 6th round pick in the 2009 NFL draft. Seeing that Roy was a free agent at the end of this year, and it was a good possibility that he was leaving anyways, the Lions, and more specific Martin Mayhew made the right move, and traded him to the Cowboys. Is this a sign, along with Jon Kitna going on I.R. for the year, that the Lions have given up on this year? Yes, if you are only looking at wins. But as I have previously stated, this team's lone objective after 5 straight losses to start the season, is to evaluate the current roster. So good luck Roy. You got what you wanted, a chance to make the playoffs, and Lions fans got what they have wanted for 7 years, a sound decision by the front office. I'll miss that 1st down gesture though, standing up in my seats, along with Roy, hand pointing out, shouting 1st down!!!
