So basically a guy with no credibility, but hey it sounds nice I guess. I'm curious how the helmets would look.

Guy's probably full of poo poo, sure, but I'd be so psyched if they brought back the silver alternates from the 90s.

Edit: Two first round WRs in a three year span while the rest of the roster is butt and you don't even have a QB would be so obnoxiously stupid I can't even conceptualize it. It better not happen.

I believe the technical term for that is "pulling a Millen", and if it isn't it should be.

As a Lions fan, after living through the Millen era, it's just nice to see someone else pick up the mantle of Division Clown Show.

Do the Lions really hate any teams in the division? They've always been the little brother that's just kind of there.

Well, putting aside the setup that I just couldn't resist...

There's actually only one team in the North that I genuinely hate. The Vikings.

Though, if the Lions could manage to be competitive for more than a year at a time it'd probably be easy to develop a deep and visceral hatred for the Packers.

Are you loving high? Glennon won that game twice, his receivers hosed up.

I'll admit, I only watched the closing drive. But Glennon looked really solid and did basically everything he could to win that game on that drive.

The Lions haven't had an effective running game literally the entire time Stafford has played for them, nor have they had an effective defensive secondary for most, in not all of that time. He singlehandedly drug that team to wins last year, repeatedly. Is he overpaid, probably, but I don't understand what planet you're from to be arguing that he's "mediocre". I'd seriously consider the possibility that he's a Top 10 QB, regardless of the playoff results.

No, just no.

We hate the Packers because of their success. The Bears are natural rivals. The Vikings, they're just kind of there... but that mere existence is offensive in a nebulous sort of way.

On defense, a defensive line, the linebackers to get their act together. On offense, a running game. Special teams are good.

Possibly a new coach.

This is pretty spot on. More specifically, need a pass rush on defense. On Offense we need a coaching overhaul. New coaching on the O Line and a running game specialist.


I'm actually a little disappointed we beat Chicago. Just because every win from here on out increases the likelihood of retaining Caldwell.

Yeah, if you're ranking McMahon above Joey I'm just going to assume you don't actually remember what the Lions looked like before Harrington took over for McMahon.

After yesterday, I'm fairly certain that firing
Caldwell is going to blow up in our faces. Firing Prince was the right move, and I think it was time to give up Cooter (:haw:) but I think Caldwell deserved another year if he was willing to address the teams obvious flaws.

I’m sad the Vikings are losing and I was born in Green Bay. Stupid rivalries are stupid. Everyone should want the Patriots to lose.

This is why this is the best case scenario (once the Jags lost). I get to enjoy watching the Vikings eat poo poo and then I can pull for the Eagles to beat the Pats.

I assume this means Ameer is gone. Gore, Riddick and a rookie RB for next year is what I imagine the plan is.

Man, the Lions backfield is going to be a bloodbath come the end of preseason. I wouldn't be surprised if they cut half the RBs they're carrying right now. And I'll bet Abdullah is a cut unless he really impresses.
