You all know that the Lions are going to beat the Packers at least once.

Lions haven't drafted a Pro-Bowl player in the past 5 drafts. No player they drafted in 2010-2011 is on their roster today.

This team went 11–5 last year.

Past 4 drafts. They drafted Suh in 2010, who is a Pro Bowler.

They wasted Luanne on Lucky!

She could of have been so much more but the writers just didn't care!

The last time the Patriots drafted a player that went to a Pro-Bowl was in 2010. So that's probably not the best measurement of success.

I mean, true, but the Patriots are also drafting much later in the draft than the Lions, on average.

That's not really much of a different except the Lions also manage to miss on an upper first round pick.

Here's a chart, you ignorant buffoons. :mad: Pro Bowl players that have entered the league since 2011.



Anyway, Larry Warford and Ziggy Ansah played at Pro Bowl levels in 2013 and 2014, respectively. A better criticism would be that only one player from the 2012 draft is left, the first-rounder.

EDIT: I counted Cody Parkey as a Colt, but they traded him to the Eagles. So subtract one from Indy and give it to Philly. About half of these players are kickers.

From the last 2 drafts, the Raiders "should" (I think they deserve it) have 3 pro-bowlers this year, maybe 4 if enough AFC QB's turn down a free trip to Hawaii.

Wait, they don't even play it in Hawaii anymore do they?

Probably what I'm leaving out in that comparison is that New England has three players from those years that are on the cusp of being Pro-Bowl caliber and may make that jump this year: Collins, Jones and Hightower.

Carr, Mack and Cooper at the very least should get to go.

And gently caress it, let Old Man Woodson retire to Hawaii too.

I was thinking Jackson, Mack, and Cooper, and I still think there are better AFC QB's than Carr, so he might be an alternate if enough turn it down. The Matt Ryan experience.

Week's over fellas. 49ers won for the next NFC Team of the weak (huhuh) but I'm going to veto that because I feel like we've talked about them quite a bit this season whereas the Vikings are more of a dark horse. Congratulations 49er fans, your team found a way to lose again.
