Motown Bombers

It makes sense. Jacksonville signed McManus and was going to waive Patterson. The Lions are 18th on the waiver order so this allows them to ensure they get him and give Jacksonville something instead of nothing.

I was surprised when they let Patterson go.

Of the top 10 picks in the 2018 draft, Barkley is one of only 3 players still on the team that drafted them. The other being Josh Allen and low positional value Quentin Nelson. Except for Josh Allen, no one in the top 10 of that draft was an offensive game changer (or defensive for that matter). I would also add Barkley was a big reason the Giants made the playoffs this year.

Yeah I know that's the argument. When you look at the 2019 draft, only 11 players had their 5th year option picked up and a 12th, Jordan Love, signed an extension for less than the 5th year option. Less than half of the players taken project to be with the team after 5 years. If Gibbs can play at a high level for 5 years, this team will likely look a lot different by then. It's probably 50/50 Goff isn't even here in 5 years.

I can't believe how many people are willing to go to prison for Trump while he lives in a country club.

I just don't get how a player who touches the ball more times than anyone except the QB and accounts for more yards than anyone else is low value.

The Lions pass rush was not bad last year. Their pressure rate was 9th in the NFL and they ranked 18th in sacks. They could have done a better job at getting home on the pass rush but their rush defense and pass defense were both bottom 5. Certainly a better pass rush can solve the pass defense, but they addressed the biggest needs of the team.

It was literally your senator who suggested having clinics set up on the edge of federal land. From this article, you can also see the rat****ing from the progressives. They kept whining about vote harder when voting harder is what codified abortion in states like Michigan. White House: No Abortions on Federal Land, But Have You Considered Voting Harder? (vice.com)

The Lions secondary on paper looks to be pretty good. No one was drafted higher than the 3rd round except for Brian Branch. So much for positional value.

If a rookie WR put up 1,200 yards and 9 TDs, you would take that all day from your 12th pick. St Brown didn't even put up those numbers. When it's a RB, it means less.

I forget who said it, but they said if Gibbs wore 81 at Alabama instead of 1 people would be praising this pick.

They claim to be progressives who care about the environment and pro choice. They're option was D or R and Bernie Sanders was a D while it was beneficial to him. They were the same ones whining about building pop up abortion clinics in national forests. Had they just voted for Hillary, Roe would still be protected.

That was the same year they held New Jersey to 56 points for an entire game in the post season.

Well, hopefully they're happy they chose to back the Russian agent instead if Hillary. Maybe, though, Bernie Sanders shouldn't make someone who believes the Supreme Court doesn't matter as press secretary. So many progressives simp for Russia and white nationalists but hey they're all the same.

Because those progressives on the left stayed home because the Supreme Court doesn't matter. Those rat****ers that did vote, voted for Jill Stein. Bernie Sanders was suppose to be a serious candidate and his press secretary said the Supreme Court didn't matter.

I mean, the Lions have spent the #2 overall pick on edge and a 2nd round pick. They had James Houston who was one of the best edge rushers when he played. How much do they need to spend on it?

Lot of talk about Gibbs being good enough to be a slot receiver so I like having him on the field at the same time as Montgomery.

Still can't get over the press secretary for Bernie Sanders saying the supreme court doesn't matter.

Technically 68.

Its been almost 20 years now.

Well, Biden is getting sassy.

Once I again I still don't understand what ewsieg is both sidesing about.

Oh good, that will give the media plenty of time to talk about Lebron James and whether he is going to retire.
