the fords bought the lions in 1963. up until then, the lions had been the second best team of the 1950s and had finished second to the packers/lombardi machine in green bay for multiple seasons and in 1962 had given the pack a real run for their money.
since then they've won one playoff game in 60 years.
what is the argument that anyone else is worse in putting a winning product on the field? as for snyder, since he has owned the team, the artists formerly known as redskins have lost 5 playoff games but won the division twice. the lions have lost 4 playoff games and - as we all know - have NEVER won the nfc north.
futility edge to the fords.
