Game 4: Lions @ Bears Thread

He's probably trying to get cut. He came from a winning organization. Just took him a couple years longer than normal to realize this team is a joke.

Ps. ..who were the morons clamoring that our wr talent was better this year than in years past? Everyone outside of marvin is a joke.

Entering this year, our WRs were 10x better than last year. Don't be an idiot.

And playing the same, which was his point..

 

[tonyballs]

His point? Nah. Know what his point was and always is??? He vultures when a position looks like shit for a couple games and tries to spin it like he's a fucking know-it-all. This WR corp is better than we have had here in years. If Tate got his head out of his fkn ass then maybe they can prove it.

 

[LKP]

Jones is playing better than Calvin. Boldin better than Moore. Tate is just sucking after two good years. Ebron is better but not today. Riddick the same. Abdullah hurt which is huge. Washington showed promise and of course got hurt

Now you too can be a know-it-all. Here's how! Lower your expectations of everyone and everything surrounding this team and you will always be proven right.

Sorry i just didn't see the improvement in alot of the position groups like you guys did. I thought our only savior would be the easy schedule. The lions proved me wrong by losing to 2 of the shittiest teams in the league. I knew the defense was going to suck real bad. I didn't think the offense woukd play this poorly. I guess my question to you tony would be. ....if the wrs are so awesome, and stafford is so awesome. Then how the fuck do you score 6 points on the bears? How do you get blown the fuck out and lose the game in the first half of the gb game? I'm not understanding the everyone is awesome yet we suck approach.

Go to this website then read the article "if the lions play like they don't care, then why should the fans." Touches o on everything we've been talking about and tony thinks is just ludicrous. Caldwell, stafford, tate and the fact that fans just aren't going to watch this shit anymore.

Remember about 3, 4 years ago when Oakland was a joke in the NFL? Now they are looking like an NFL team.

Arizona was garbage but suddenly became a good franchise (odd start this year).

Tampa freaking Bay has won a SB after being HORRIBLE.

The Vikings were captains of being average every season, but they just keep looking better each year and finally appear to have a Super Bowl type team this season with that defense.

Why are the Lions the only team in the freaking NFL to be allergic to parody?

You need to build like the Vikings and Broncos. Stout defense makes it easier for the offense.. At one time it seemed like you needed a super stud QB to win games. Not sure that's the case anymore..

 

[mhughes0021]

College qbs are coming out more ready. You don't need to groom a guy for 4 years anymore let alone 7. There are very few nfl qbs that have gotten a leash as long or longer than stafford without winning a lick...esp ones making as much money as him. If he's on the luck/rivers category like some of you suggest. ...WAIT HE'S NOT! Cause he hasn't won shit.

Because of the refs :lmao:

Lions ARE a "parody" and have been of an NFL franchise ever since the late WCF purchased them...but I will give his nonagenarian widow Martha a mulligan, since she doesn't seem to suffer fools for very long.


(you meant to post parity, maybe a spellcheck screwup. no?)

That's where we differ. When did i say the word " awesome"? I never did. I said our WRs were better and on paper, they were. If somebody came up to you and asked you who's group is better, what would you say? Group A - aging CJ, Tate, TJ Jones
OR
Group B - M. Jones, Tate, aging Boldin

Who you picking??? You're picking B because of the Boldin factor.

Oakland might have the worst defense in the league next to ours lol. They have a good offense...that's it. They won't even make the playoffs.

Arizona is garbage again. Not an odd start actually. Overrated team with an overrated HC.

Vikings are the real deal. Bravo....gold star for you!!

Tampa Bay?! Lmfao

 

[dubbsco]

Yeah my bad on the spelling.

Tony, would you rather have what TB did with the Super Bowl compared to this organization? If you say no, you are a flipping liar.

Arizona has gone to the playoffs multiple times in the last decade including an appearance in the SB.

The entire point of my post has just zoomed right over your head. Those teams were crap forever, and finally got to the top or near the top. This team hasn't been close.

Never went over my head lol. And of course i'd rather have a Superbowl.

 

[grandy]

Sadly, I think most fans here would be happy to see just one fucking playoff win.

25 years, a quarter century

 

[dubbsco]

Well yes that's my entire point here. The parity that supposedly exists in the NFL, even for franchises to have a few wonderful moments where they go far, continues to elude this organization. And that's why this thing needs to be blown up, top to bottom. Change the name, the colors and treat this like an expansion franchise going forward.

honestly, i think boldin looks like he belongs in a retirement home and has no knees. Great hands for sure. Hes a truck for sure. but dude cant run anymore.

 

[dubbsco]

Aging CJ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Aging Boldin. He went for 1,200 yards his last season. Boldin went for 789 last season, and looks to be going even further down. I'd be surprised if he hit 500 this year.
