Why would they name it after a guy who hasnt won any Super Bowls?
Kubiak doesn't know anything about defense and made two awful hires for DC. He compounded it by turning over personnel control of the defense to the GM, who either couldn't hit in the draft or the coaches were so bad it didn't matter
Wade fell in their laps and championed Watt and Reed. To Rick Smith's credit he got Manning and Joseph for what Philly paid Nnamndi
if only bill walsh and don shula had been able to go head to head in a superbowl we could've found out once and for all who the greatest was
Shula.

True, and they certainly don't have a back the other teams would even come close to fearing. Compare Peterson's return from knee injury to Mendenhall's....it's like comparing Peyton to Sanchez.

"Can I get this Steve? Please?"
"Sure...whatever kid i'm just here for the publicity."
We should just run the no huddle :|
And maybe utilize Rainey in a Sproles like role, and use screens, dump offs and plays of that nature to supplement our complete lack of a traditional rushing attack. I suppose it's too late to make that significant of a change though.

Huge fan of Gibbs, though Beathard loaded that team up and Mr. Cooke had no qualms about spending

A couple of notes since I've been gone.
1) Call me Groverstradamus
I had this big long FMT-style victory rant planned where I suggest several members of the Falcons organization to eat bags of dicks (including, but not limited to: Cowardly Ryan, Julio Jones AKA Predator, and the Mob Boss Blank), but I still see us as a disappointing 5-9 team and the Falcons looked fantastic on Sunday. I have no room for trash talking them.
But I'll still post this incredible gif.
2) I'd like to personally apologize to the Ravens for giving them the Kiss of Death. When I predicted them to take the 1 seed in the AFC, I seriously underestimated Joe Flacco's ineptitude. I didn't know that such suck was possible at the QB position. Now I see why he's BLarry's favorite player.
I figure the Saints have suffered enough. They already have to live and work in New Orleans, LA.

Any word on Gronk?When is Cunningham eligible to return?
He passed away Sunday night.

Offense doesn't need changing. Players just need to buy in (and we need to get rid of some guys on the line. I love Starks but he's useless against the Run. Adams is the second best run blocker besides Colon).
Ben can't stop complaining about his problems with Haley. Arians is gone. Get over it.

To be fair, that picture makes it easy.
Maybe when Rex is fired, they'll replace him with Arians and trade Revis for Ben. Then the two can live happily ever after

I'm sure we are going to have a slew of illegitimate-Gronks to fill the roster in the years to come.

I want Gronk back.I miss him.
A couple of pages late but couldn't respond proprely due to being on my phone. I saw all of the articles you posted Wedge, and a lot are correct but a lot are hyperbole IMO.
Stafford had probably the worst game of his career. It happens. A lot of that is due to not having a NFL reciever outside of Megatron, who was constantly getting double teamed.
NEWSFLASH: KVB should retire, and Cliff Avrils stats are inflated due to having Suh, Corey Williams and Nick Fairley at DT. He should be raking up 15 sacks a season for the money he's demanding, along with the talent we have at DT but he's overrated and will be gone by the end of the season.
Draft a Dion Jordan, or Manti Te'o combined with a DE in the 2nd or 3rd. Cliff Avril looks good because of Suh. Some stupid team will blow 8 Mil a year on him though.
We're playing with players who should be in the CFL. I'm not one to use injuries as an excuse but if there were ever a case our WR core has been decimated. Couple that with the fact our best #2 is an idiotic douchebag who has all the talent in the world but is a fucktard.
Totally on Schwartz and the coaching staff. I still like Schwartz and think the main problem lies with Scott Linehan and his offense.
Let's not kid ourselves though. We're not the Chiefs or the Jaguars or the Raiders etc. We made the playoffs last year with a 23 year old QB, and have a bright future ahead of us. We've had shitty luck in numerous ways this year, but we can hang with any team in the NFL as long as we have Matt Stafford leading us.
A couple of solid draft picks and a FA aquisition or two and we're right back at the top of the NFC.
Fuck the Packers, Bears, 49ers, Falcons etc. we can hang with any of those teams, and with a couple of added pieces a close loss like what happened in Green Bay two weeks ago will turn into a W.
It starts this weekend vs. Atlanta when we kick the shit out of the sorry ass Flacons and there dirty cheapshoting offensive line.

I love that the media is all over that again. It was their favorite new "story" after they found out Wallace wasn't going anywhere. Then it was forgotten during the 4 game win streak and Ben's injury. Now it's back again, I think Ben does this shit on purpose just to see how many media stories he can get going. I'd hope he was doing it just to take the heat off the rest of the team for how shitty they've been playing, but I don't think he's smart enough for that. I just think he likes fucking with the media.

Speaking of hyperbole...kastrioti said:
I don't generally jump into this stuff but that statement is either well veiled sarcasm or outright delusional. It presumes that you were ever there to begin with. You made the playoffs once in 10 years and were dumped in the wild card. The Lions haven't even beaten the Packers in Lambeau in two decades. Before you can claim to be at "the top of the NFC" you actually have to be able to beat a division rival on the road at least once in 20 years as a bare minimum qualification to make said claim. Just once.

1. any team can "hang" with any other team on any given sunday in the nfl. lions can't actually WIN against those teams, that is their problem
2. lulz @ "stafford has no one but megatron". oh boo fucking hoo. there are other QB's succeeding without megatron. stafford is overrated. not even a top 15 QB
Pretty sure the Jets ruined themselves just fine without Tebow's help.
Feeling slighted by a Vegas betting line is pretty weak.
so basically we won the war cause that's one game closer to no norvWho is this new Niners fan?

Honest to God if this team sucked and had no talent I would call them out on it. I'm a Lions fan I've been doing it for what feels like forever.
But we don't suck, and we have as much solid young talent as any team in the league. Not only were we 10-6 last year, but we won our last 4 games in the 2010 season.
Us not beating the Pack for 20 years is due to numerous reasons, one being which we had Matt Millen at the helm for 10 of those years. It will happen and was close to happening two weeks ago. I'm not going to hang my head over that a win will happen soon.
1.) Agreed. Any team can put up a W any week. The difference is Blaine Gabbert being your QB or Matthew Stafford. We can't win RIGHT NOW, but a few pieces and some maturity will take us a long way. Just you watch.
2.) Staff had his #2, #3, #4 WR plus #1 TE out for the game against the Cards. Like I said I'm not one to make injury excuses, it happens to all teams, but its hard to throw it to CFL receivers against NFL DBs.

So true.
If I were the Lions' new head coach I would go into the meeting room the first day and say "forget about the Super Bowl right now. Our goal is to beat the Pack in Lambeau. We're not going anywhere until we can defeat them in their house".
....How much are you asking for in salary and compensation?

I really want the bucs to win out... blah... just as a fan not as someone that cares more for the draft than anything else
This sexy motherfucker is 24 years old NFL GAF.
I know he may act older, and play older, but he's got at least 10 more years of playing this game. The Kaepernicks, Derek Andersons, Jake Delhommes come and go, but Stafford will stay and will scare the shit out of opposing defenses for the next decade. Get used to it.
