Step 1: Start fight
Step 2: Attack straw man
Step 3: REPEAT

Do not engage with me



It is hard not to get excited about how this offense is coming together. Now just bring back Fuller....

Yowza. He was gonna be expensive, but now they don't have any TEs.

11 touchdowns in 4 seasons.

:rip: Eric "Rice Boner" Ebron. I'll always remember falling out of my chair at the bar when you got drafted, and that time you dropped that touchdown pass, and that other time you dropped that touchdown pass

For real though, Ebron was fine but too expensive, his name turned into mud to Lions fans and it's impossible to dig your way out of that.

The fact he was continuing to progress and had been playing well is the issue. It seemed like he was finally turning the corner and now they get nothing for him but a gaping hole at TE.

It's very cool that the Lions have no TE's now. Right now we're on pace to start Stafford, Tate, and 20 linebackers?

to be honest after signing Wilkerson I'm much less worried about the corners

Having an epic defensive line goes a long way towards making the secondary look better.

Yeah Perry and Matthews will get hurt and the. OLBs get pretty horrendous after that. Matthews is also massively overpaid.

The Lions do save 8.25 million in cap space, so it might make sense if they're planning on doing something crazy like signing Suh.

I think you misread my post, they save 8.25 against the cap by cutting Ebron, bringing them up to having about $34 million in space total.

Gore is still better than what we've seen in the lions ground game for the past several years. And yeah the only reason I could see for cutting ebron is they need the cap space to make some massive signing like suh. I just don't understand the logic at all otherwise.

I'm going to be pissed if the Lions pick up Goedert in the draft. They already picked a SD State alumni and they don't fuckin play him.
