Mitch[/color]]Say what you will but we haven't had this much talent in my lifetime.

On offense.

I don't remember a team with more defensively talent in my years.

Jim is prickly in the presser. Jim is smacking the media on the nose. Love it.

Yep...and the defense as well.

I do. The Lions defenses of the late 60s-to-1970 were outstanding relatively speaking.

How old you think I am? Born in '65, started watching in 72.

You're kidding me, right? Lol.

Lions made the playoffs six times in the 90s, and that 58-37 loss to the Eagles still stands in relief. Don't recall them winning a playoff game, either.

Dallas at home 38 to 6.. In 1991.... Sigh... I hope it happens again someday... I don't care which teams are better then who if you don't take advantage of the chances you get you may not end up with many. Just another frustrating playoff loss for Detroit tonight.. No silver linings for me... i have to watch yet another crap franchise win a super bowl before Detroit does..

 

[Mitchrapp]

Lol. O-16 3 years old to a playoff game. That's a hell of a silver lining. We just got unlucked to getting the Saints.

It wasn't luck, if the defense felt like showing up against a back-up QB last week, they wouldn't have gotten the Saints.

This +1 all day and night.

Yeah well. Nonetheless..

I got no response.

What do you want me to say Mitch.. Great I have to wait another year and hope Matt can stay healthy all season , and hope we get a running game, and hope we get some defensive players that can catch a INT or tackle, and hope we get a defensive coach that scraps the wide nine.. We have to hope some of the calls may go Detroit's way when in fact in only one playoff game in my life has things bounced our way. You have to take advantage like the fucking # 6 seed Packers did last year and make a damn run this year and not wait and hope for next time around. You have the best receiver in the damn game and down 10 you throw a jump ball to the midget receiver who i like but just not playing basketball. You get two fumbles in which one should have been a TD and Scott L. goes conservative right after both. Did i mention the 3 dropped INT's on horrible balls thrown by the great Drew Brees.. Not one holding call on the Saints... Right i buy that.. Yes its great to have an improvement from 0-16 but its not enough... That old Fart William Clay Ford does not deserve a Super Bowl Championship for how poorly he has run the Lions but all of us fans who have hoped every year this would be our year do... The lions were only 4 damn wins away from making all of us Lions fan's happy.. But now its wait till next year again...My dad's years are running out and so are mine.. I am tired of waiting.

Amen. Have to take advantage of opportunities. This game was winnable, the d did not show up though. The officiating did detroit no favors but I dont know if the d made enough plays anyway. Fuck waiting till next year but unfortunately we have no choice...

Feel like shit all you want Bob. Feel pissed off the next 8 months. You sound like someone set fire to you house.

Mitch must be on helium.. Seriously dude.. The future might LOOK bright but tell that to teams like the Bengals whom have a good year every other year.. Or the Browns in 2007 when they were 10-6 with young talent.. Things can change on a dime... ANd they need a fucking average defense.. Just average... Not the runny fecal matter like we saw last night..

the Browns were decimated by an idiot GM just like the Lions were...he made some real real bad decisions...hiring Mangni then trading their #5 to the Jets for a bunch of Manginis guys that were absolute trash....like the Lions they were put years backwards , had to blow it up and start all over.

They were good the one year with Romeo Crennel.. Granted, he sucked the last year, but I feel they fired him too quick.. I agree the GM situation was horrible.. I'm just saying in 2007 they were the "up and coming team" like the Lions were.. Young Derrick Anderson, Young Braylon and Winslow and a decent run game with Jamal Lewis but a mediocre defense.. Just seeing somewhat of parallel here to how things could change in a hurry.. You can say we have a bright future but it isn't set in stone either.. Regardless, the defense needs some changes and fast..

Obviously we're going to make have to make large improvements on defense. GB and NO aren't going to suck anytime soon so we're going to have to go through them to get to a super bowl...and we will probably have to play all of our playoff games on the road if we can't steal a division title away from GB.

 

[brewer228]

We have a lot of individual talent on defense, not sure why they suck so bad as a group.
My only theory is it has to be the coaching staff not getting the most or using the players correctly.

Spievey, Wright, Smith and Berry don't even add up to one adequate DB.
