Filthy Casual posted:The Bad Boys were late 80s early 90s, then the Wings got good around '93. I guess that leaves '91 as the one possible year the Lions could be that. They made it to the NFCCG in '91 so that might fly.

Fellow Lions fans who actually paid attention to the leadup to the draft, tell me why I should or shouldn't be excited for this Davis guy.

I forget who said it where but Trubisky is the most Chicago-sounding name I've heard in a long time so at least he has that going for him.

I am happy with what I saw from the Lions today, other than them losing on a weird technicality at the very end.

Scipiotik posted:Unlike Ebron who managed to drop like 3 straight need to have passes which is why that whole poo poo show at the end happened the way it did. Yeah actually I lied in my last post- I am unhappy with how much we threw to Ebron towards the end. For every clutch catch he does end up making, he has two or three anti-clutch drops. Those are terrible odds for the end of a game!

Gonna laugh real hard when Chicago wins the division after starting 0-4 in the NFC, and with a rookie QB no less.

GokuGoesSSJ3 posted:From the NFC North? The Lions or Vikings. Or do you mean who makes the playoffs when your starting qb goes down? Almost nobody unless you have a really good defense that keeps the games low scoring in the first place. The first one- who wins the division if the Packers don't have Rodgers the rest of the season? They're not going to win the division, but thank gently caress Detroit won its road game against Minnesota. And their game in Detroit is Thanksgiving.

The Lions are going to lose the division in a year where multiple other teams in the division are on their 2nd string quarterbacks. So it was four years ago, so it shall be again.

Yesterday marked Detroit's first divisional road sweep in over 50 years  ketchup vs catsup posted:I bought the plush toy of this dog from the kickstarter and it arrived at my office within a week of a coworker's boyfriend dying in a fire. As soon as I opened the package and realized what it was, I put it away and didn't finish opening it till I got home. I'd planned on leaving it at my desk, cause...funny dog toy for the office, right? I interviewed at a place a few weeks ago and as I was walking to the interview room I passed by someone who had that comic printed and hung up in her cubicle. I caught her eye and gave her a thumbs up as I pointed to the comic. I did not get the job.

Gonz posted:I'm convinced that Jim Caldwell could be beaten by the AI in a Madden game at this point. Good thing he got that extension, though. He's truly a genius coaching mind. In terms of W-L, we are witnessing the best Lions football of the past 25 years.

BGrifter posted:The Lions are missing their one season window with Rodgers injured. Many Lions fans won't live to see their next opportunity. This same scenario played out in 2013 but instead of just Rodgers being injured it was every non-Lions QB in the NFC North. We had to do something like win two of our last six or seven games to lock up the division and only won one. That was way more painful IMO.

Acebuckeye13 posted:Yeah, there's a big difference between the Lions getting edged out by a strong Vikings team that could easily end up with 13 wins, and losing 6 of the last 7 games to let the Packers win the division at 8-7-1 Also while this is going to sound like total Not Mad-ism, a Lions win yesterday would have meant that we were still one game back in the division, so a division title still wouldn't have been guaranteed. We would just as easily be having this conversation later in the season when we blew a winnable game elsewhere. Also, ironically enough the best comparison for that blown division crown in '13 would be if the Vikings somehow didn't win it this season.

We absolutely should have fired Schwartz when we did but I was still sad to see him go. With Caldwell I feel nothing but annoyance and disappointment.

VJeff posted:Schwartz brought fire as the Packers swept the Lions and Caldwell was just kinda there as the Packers split with the Lions. I still don't quite understand how we won @ Lambeau in 2015. I remember the place holder getting a couple fingers on that GW field goal attempt and sending it off course but I don't remember how it got to that point in the first place.

There was a five-year span of time where my one aunt would get me some sort of Lions paraphernalia for Christmas, including the same baseball cap in back to back years because the only thing she knew about me was that I liked them. No jerseys though, I do have that Lions-branded Megatron shirt but haven't had the heart to wear it since he retired  I wish I wore hats because there's a vintage sports gear shot downtown that has Lions hats with the old-timey skinny lion logo and they look fresh as gently caress.

Gonz posted:In which the Lions sweep the Packers for the first time since 1991, and have back to back winning seasons for the first time since 1994 and 1995, but it's all for naught because they poo poo the bed against a horrendous Cincy team last Sunday. I said it before but being a Lions fan is saying "I can't believe it!" when deep down you 100% knew it was coming.

rabidsquid posted:the lions absolutely can gently caress up this coaching change and since they're the lions i am firmly convinced they will, but i am also fairly certain if they stuck with caldwell they'd have been perpetually in the 7-9/9-7 range where they will never get a good draft pick or make the playoffs. i dont really see a scenario where this caldwell lions team ever becomes a consistent playoff team. there's at least hope now (lmao) Someone in another thread likened Caldwell staying on in Detroit to Marv Lewis in Cincy- a lot of time hovering at or just above .500 but no significant success (though Marv has managed to win a number of division titles, which Detroit obviously hasn't done), so you never know if you should move on or not.

Shangri-Law School posted:Jim Bob Cooter could have won them a Super Bowl in 2014. That 2014 squad was probably the best Lions teams (talent-wise) I have seen in my lifetime and it was super-disappointing to see them lose that WC game to Dallas. I don't think they'll be that good on paper again for a while.
