Don't Worry Detroit

The 2008 Detroit Lions have started off with a 0-10 record, and have remained the only "defeated" team in the NFL. The first lead they held in a game came after a 21-0 deficit, and led 25-24, but finally lost the lead after quarterback Jon Kitna threw three consecutive interceptions. It looks like, with their remaining schedule that they could only win one game.
But with their last playoff experience in 1999, and their last championship in 195, when their beloved Bobby Layne led them to four title wins (before the super bowl era).
So why are they so bad? With high draft picks in the past decade, why are they always rebuilding? I don’t think it is a lack of talent, but is it the Curse of Bobby Layne?
After his is fourth title win Layne went down with an injury and the front office decided to trade him and get what they could. After a bitter departing to the Pittsburgh Stealers, Layne cursed the lions saying, "they will lose for fifty years." And so far, he has been right, and the curse lingers in the Detroit area.
So what is the good news?
The fifty years is less then two months away from expiring, and the enigma that has been the Detroit Lions, with two first round, two third and two sixth round picks are only one offseason away from becoming a contender in the NFC North, and possibly the NFC.
