Motown Bombers Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 The Lions and Browns both made the playoffs within 3 years of going 0-16. I expect the Lions to be at least competing for a playoff spot by year 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddha Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 the jags have now lost 20 straight games and passed the lions, moving into second place on the all time "losses in a row" standings. they trail only the expansion bucs who once lost 24 straight.

buddha Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 and in case you're wondering, this iteration of the lions have now lost 9 straight. long way to go to reach the bucs but, gosh darnit, with a little gumption these boys just might do it!

With the talent he has I am impressed teams aren't scoring 40-50 on us weekly. It's frustrating that they give up so much on the last drive... too much prevent. But honestly yeah... the Vikings were stupid not to be throwing a LOT more than they did. They could have been up so much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's incredibly hard to find an All-Pro QB. When you get one, you build around him. The Lions almost had one in Stafford, if they would have built a proper team around him, he may have been the answer. We'll see how good he is with much more talent around him in Los Angeles. Go Rams! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichiganCardinal Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Campbell tearing up in the postgame press conference, talking about how hard it is to see those guys give it their all and have it come up short like that. It's no wonder these guys never stop fighting. Can't help but root for that man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Didn't see the game but it looks like the Lions the lost at the buzzer again. There has to be no bigger guarantee in all of sports than a kicker lining up for a game winning field goal against the Lions. The Goal post might as well be 2 miles wide cause either way you know it's going to be good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motor City Sonics Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 They've played well enough to win the last 3 games. Too many times they were moving the ball - quite well - until they get in the Red Zone and BOOM, something goes wrong, usually a fumble or INT. The defense is surprising. It's not good, but the last three weeks it has gotten better as the game has gone on.....but for those last drives where they go Prevent. The biggest problem is the QB and yes, he has no deep threat on this whole team, but he is not getting it done. Why must this team NEVER seem to have a decent backup? It's almost like they are afraid to challenge their starter Why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are exceptions of course, but I think it's pretty rare these days that any team has a backup that good enough to step in without losing (much) talent. But I do get what you're saying. It does seem like the Lions have rare been even mediocre at backup. Who was the last one that seemed semi-decent? Hill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddha Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 no team in the nfl has a decent back up qb. what would be the point? in the salary cap era, there are only so many resources to go around. you dont waste those on a guy who isnt going to play. remember when the lions signed chase daniel to that ridiculous contract all because they wanted a "decent backup qb in case stafford got hurt"? how did that work out?

Motor City Sonics Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I would much rather have a coach who gets emotional after a tough loss, then the arrogant ass we previously had, who had his team quit on him and acted like we were lucky to have his presence. If some thing a few tears doesn't mean he's tough, then I think you are out of your mind. He got emotional because he's not going to lash out at his guys, he's not going to blame anyone and I think he knows he's dealing with something he can't fix right now. I'd much rather have him make his coaching mistakes now, than later. If he makes the same mistakes in Year 3, then I'll have an issue with it. His players play hard for the dude. It's better than the emotionless boob we had who actually would talk about his Patriots days to defend his bad coaching, when he had little to nothing to do with why the Patriots won. (Brady made them great and Belichick was a cheater). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddha Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 ceephus broke his collarbone. probably out for the year. maybe trinity benson will do something? we gave up draft picks for this guy who was going to get waived and he hasnt been able to get regular playing time with THIS receiver corps. doesnt look like a good trade right now.

Had to look up the trade cause I didn't remember the details. We gave a 5th and 7th in 2022, picked up Benson and a 6th in 2023, so that isn't a horrible amount of draft lost, but still... you're point is right that if Benson can't earn a starting spot against this roster of receivers, then he's a a crap receiver and any draft assets given up are too much.

I would say that Wright is worse because you essentially used a 3rd round and a 4th round pick on a guy who you cut a little over a year later. Even if we get nothing out of Benson we spent a lot less on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
