Before the season, many media sources predicted the Lions to be playoff bound, however, after going through six different quarterbacks and an eight-game losing streak, the Lions finished out of the playoffs yet again.

The biggest appointment during the 1957 season was the hiring of former Montreal Alouette Herb Capozzi as General Manager. Over nine seasons, Capozzi would eventually build the expansion doormats into a powerhouse that would appear in the Grey Cup in 1963 and win it in 1964.

WIFU all-stars were running back By Bailey and Ed Sharkey at both offensive guard and linebacker.

gollark: Thoughts? Is this *too* cheaty?
gollark: Given that our slag production makes *about* one per ten seconds (probably less), and 12.8 units of 5 coal would be needed for 1 diamond, we could get one diamond every two minutes or so.
gollark: I figured out a terrible, terrible (in the sense of being slightly cheaty) way to get diamonds:1. hook up slag production to thermal centrifuge (there's a 1 slag -> tiny gold dust + 5 coal dust recipe)2. feed coal to compactor (makes compressed coal balls; without this it would need flint, but that's easy too)3. compress the coal ball into a ... compressed coal ball4. compress the compressed coal balls into a coal chunk (usually this would require obsidian, iron or bricks, but the compactor skips that too - obsidian is automateable easily but with large power input, though)5. compress coal chunk into diamond
gollark: Oh, this is really cool, Random PSIDeas has a thing which allows me to move my camera position.
gollark: ... right, the dirt, silly me.
