holy crap

 

[RellyRell28]

Our secondary suck but it sucked since 91

 

[jmdajr]

Aww man, Tony G never gonna get a TD now :'(

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Lions getting their dick slapped.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

Wow at that catch, we are getting that work.

 

[weekend_warrior]

I hope the Falcons get knocked out of the playoffs their first game. Fucking dumb team.

 

[Goro Majima]

Lions never playing on Monday again.

 

[RellyRell28]

Good Lord these WRs they have are awesome. ATL and GB have far and away the best WR corps. Such a mistake by CLE

Green Bays WR would be good without Rodgers throwing to him. Maybe Jennings but no one else.

ATL puts GB to shame IMO. ARod would have 75 TDs with these three guys.

That throw was fucking amazing. That is a pass to crow about.

An NFL throw.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

Honestly the they just say that cause they don't pay attention to the team and see he's having a down season and all of a sudden he's horrible. This is damn near GameFAQs level of ignorance.

There are a lot of us that can't stand Stafford and were shitting on him last season.

 

[BlackGhost]

If tebow does Join the Jags, I seriously might have to root for them next year along side the browns

 

[eznark]

Cobb would be great in any offense. Other than that I think they are mostly #2s. Atlanta has two amazing 1s.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I wish the Pats had receivers like that.

 

[NihonTiger90]

Oh, c'mon now. Even I'm not going that far. I had to go through this conversation last week too. I'm not saying to cut Stafford and I wouldn't be looking to draft his replacement in the first round of the draft this year or anything. It's just...he's a #1 overall pick. We selected him to become an absolute superstar, amongst the best in the league, and he hasn't shown that yet. Teams are not afraid of Matt Stafford "carving them up." I'm not killing the guy, but he doesn't have the benefit of the doubt from me either. I need to see what he is still.



I am absolutely a Lions fan. I just wish the team I'm supporting was actually...y'know, good. For more than one flukey year.

I am just venting frustration. I don't think Stafford is going to be anything special now, and while a healthy Lions offense could mask that, we are so thin and our run game in such disarray that he can't lead this team right now. I don't think we can cut him because there's no options out there for Detroit, but I don't know what we can do.

We're 1-7 in nationally-televised games in the last two years. Soon to be 1-8. I said it before the game even started, this team is a failure on the big stage.

And that's the issue. For all the time there's been so far, it turns out that this team is still absolutely riddled with problems, and in terms of actual production we still don't seem like we're actually that far off from the dark days of Millen. That's really depressing.

I would be so happy. They can have the Thanksgiving game, too.

 

[beast786]

You don't think having no one on the edge to contain a pocket has hurt the effectiveness of a collapsing interior? Lol, ok.

you said about VB phoning in, he has been on constant decline.


obviously that has been the huge problem with lions outside end, especially on the running game. the whole idea behind wide nine is to protect edges from outside runs. Avirl , which you praise has been worse, giving up huge TD runs (viking/seattle)by giving up his containment . pretty much none on VB side.

If they can make Matt Ryan look good they must be pretty good

 

[mr2xxx]

I've been shopping all day and just tuned in. Looks like the Frauds went into the lions with no vaseline.

can't speak for this year but Jennings is a #1 when healthy. Jordy is an excellent #2 probably. Driver in his day the same. ted is so good at finding talent that fits what they do

 

[Kastrioti]

Im so glad we used that timeout on the second play of the game.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Durham has made a lot of mistakes this year but I like him overall

 

[ActStriker]

why are you kicking the FG now?

 

[eznark]

I'm not sure. I love Jennings but he has lost a lot of his lateral quickness and has been pretty slow out of breaks the entire year. Maybe it's all because of current injuries and won't linger but I don't know. I wouldn't want to give him a ton of money.

Your last point is key. Thompson is an under appreciated God.

 

[JCizzle]

Throw it into the end zone. Schwartz is such shit.

 

[PhoenixDark]

6 points! We're better than the Giants

 

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

why are you kicking the FG now?

Any play to the endzone is gonna take about 7 seconds. Can't risk it.

 

[zero_suit]

Megatron already has 117 yards? Jesus.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Calvin's gonna break the record in the 3rd quarter.

Dude's going to get 200+ yards in this game.

 

[eznark]

I hope Urlacher is watching. Boos for the home team.

I phrased that oddly. I don't know about now, but the previous few years I thought Jennings was a #1. Saturday may have bombed but it was a low cost mistake. Wells is going to be a problem for a few years in STL, though down the list

But will they win.

lol.

We have a lot of depth because like you said Ted consistently knows what to look for. We don't have any freak athletes like Calvin though, its just that overall the entire corps is amazing. He hits so often.

Don't think we really have a true " No 1 " on the team which could be good and bad.

I agree with you. I can't remember the last bad move from Thompson. Some odd high draft picks but I think he sometimes takes chances early because he is confident he is better than everyone else mid-rounds.

That's why they need to pick up TO.

Dimitroff in Atlanta has done pretty well the last 5 years.

Good to see the Falcons apply the heat and get that bye.

 

[Troll]

I'm playing against LeShuore hell yeahhhhh

 

[brentech]

Justin Harrell was a sad pick. Real risk that flat out failed. Constantly injured at Tennessee and no different when brought into the NFL. Biggest flop pick for Ted that I can think of.

Yeah but he did pretty well elsewhere in that draft didn't he?

Setting up Tvii! I excite!

Could have told you that. :/

What is this?

 

[Kastrioti]

If we don't get a turnover soon its game over. Shame we have to shit it up on national TV, NFL will probably dock us a game next year if we get killed tonight.
