Game 15 Falcons @ Lions Thread

[coel73]

This is so painful to watch. Just take a knee man.

 

[tigermud]

Stafford will likely break the record next week for most pass attempts in a single season. I don't consider that a positive thing in this seasons context.

 

[coel73]

Their slogan should be:
"Lose.........amazing"
As in: losing in amazing ways. They always find a more impressive way to lose than the last. Can't wait to see what next sunday brings.

Calvin Johnson has 98 receiving yards with Lions down by two scores or more this year.
fu gruden.

 

[tigermud]

Stafford garbage times his way to 443 yards tonight. LOL. joke the team is a fucking joke.

 

[mhughes0021]

ok very seldom do i defend the lions this year.....BUT to say that Calvin is the recipient of "garbage time" yards is fucking idiotic. Get your dumb ass back in the film room gruden.....weve been in close games every single week minus a couple dumster fire weeks. To say theyre garbage time yards is just plain dumb....

 

[andthereitgoes84]

I also agreed with Gruden...too many garbage time yards to pad stats.

 

[tigermud]

Happy for Calvin but fear he's now on stage with Barry. All times greats without a title, add him to the list.


108 away from 2,000 now with 1 week to go. Da Bears and that Tillman @#$ that shut his ass down last time. But that not be important right now.

4-11
7 Loses in a row

that's not how it was supposed to be.

 

[mhughes0021]

1 sack by the most feared and talented defensive line in the nfl. lmao.

Webvideo Calvin's record setting catch.

I hate myself for saying this, but they would do better drafting the best offensive skill players they can. Maybe it would open something up because watching everyone besides calvin is utterly depressing. Teams respect NOTHING about this offense and have been absorbing monster yard games from calvin.

The bears can do the same next week so he has every shot at 2000 yards.

broyles will be ok. can get a quick 3rd down back in the 3rd round or later. Defensive playmakers should be a bigger priority. this defense is horrendous.

Stafford set an NFL record for most passing yards in a game without a TD pass- 443 (old mark: Joe Montana, 441 in 1986).

Looking forward to the baseball season and fewer guys in the lineup that hack at everything close. cautiously optimistic.

Maybe you guys heard Gruden differently, but I'm fairly confident the entire conversation was that Calvin's yards were empty, not about garbage time. He said that these numbers are meaningless because the team is shit. And he's spot on. These don't mean anything. And the fact that people are giving standing ovations and talking about how amazing this record is scares me for our fans.

less than 100 days to go.

The team, including the coaches are horrendous. Always pick the worst times to bav losing seasons. Oh, they are going to have a rookie cap in a few years, better have consecutive top 2 picks before that happens. Weakest draft class in...ever...better tank the season and get a top 5 pick.

No, not saying they actually thought that...just saying that is how the lions roll baby!!!

All I know is this

4-11

7 loses in a row

immensely disappointing year. maybe one of if not the worst one I can remember given the expectations going into the year.

am I happy for CJ?, absolutely!. Does it make this season not seem so bad?, nope.

the top 10 is full of dline oline talent....and milliner if they want a cb. The draft may not be deep but the top 10 is full of potential starters for this team. Id rather get one of those guys instead of drafting at 15 again after a couple "garbage time" wins.
