My way too early yardage prediction thread

how does that prove us wrong? that's for next year. If I remember correctly they had us at 7 games last year.....we finished at 7 games. You had us at 16 games...you were very wrong.

I had us at 11 last year and they played like an 11 win team but got hurt. I was right.

You had us taking Mercilus and Josh Robinson in 2012. You wouldn't last a day as GM hughes.
 
Favored in 10. So 10

Plus I know more than Vegas. I say 11, so it's 11

yup...and id have a starting DE on the roster. Instead we have an aged defensive tackle that cant get to the qb coming off an acl that is starting for us at DE.....nice job mayhew.

so that's how it works? If I go to Vegas and bet the Lions -3 but they lose I can still collect. I just tell the woman at the betting window that Stafford got unlucky with the game ending pick six. "I was right....Stafford and the Lions got unlucky....give me my money!"

Mercilus is average just like Jones. No upgrade and we would lose Reiff. You are insane. And Bentley is much better than Josh Robinson.

Good argument, you win. You'll collect a bag of money but I trust you don't put up any money because deep down you know the Lions are a 8 win team

Favored in 10. 10 win team at least.

You know 8 is them underachieving.

i was all for the reiff pick numbnuts. he was a projected top 10 pick that slid. great value. The mercilus pick was a mock you retard. Not who I would have picked with who was on the board at the time. The only thing I hated about the reiff pick was our dumbass coaching staff put him at fullback for a year....brilliant. Mercilus is a de. Jones is a shitty DT that couldn't get to the qb at dt or de. Bentley isn't better than anyone lol....guy barely plays and when he does he gets injured.

Robinson is one of the worst CB in the league. Bentley is much better than him.

Jones>Mercilus. Especially since we having versatile fronts with this new staff. Plus we have Ansah and Taylor.

I'm glad you are not the GM hughes. Very glad.
 

It sounds like they are agreeing with everybody except for you. He is describing terrible play by the Lions. Here are some quotes.

"The defense then collapsed"

"Once again, though, they had to punt, and Sam Martin shanked it."

"The Lions followed up that awful sequence with an interception three plays into their next drive, and the Steelers turned that turnover into another touchdown. "

"On the second play of the fourth quarter, the Lions gave up an 85-yard touchdown pass from Mike Glennon to Tiquan Underwood. The touchdown gave the Bucs a 24-21 lead, but the Lions had lots of time to come back. Instead of rallying, though, the Lions repeatedly shot themselves in the foot. Tampa Bay in the fourth quarter gave the Lions a chance to at least force overtime, but their 5 total turnovers prevented that from happening."

"After a three-and-out by the Lions, the Eagles again gashed the Detroit defense and eventually scored on a Nick Foles sneak on fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line. A quick fumble by Matthew Stafford gave the ball right back to the Eagles"

"The Lions responded with an interception on the one and only play of their next drive, effectively ending the game."

"The Lions had the Giants shut down offensively, but Stafford threw a pick-six with 5 minutes left in regulation that made this a tie game. In overtime, the Lions failed to capitalize on a fumble by the Giants by following up the turnover with a three-and-out"

"Minnesota returned a punt 50 yards and scored the go-ahead touchdown on an 8-yard pass to Cordarrelle Patterson just two plays later. The Lions answered by getting down to the Minnesota 39, but the drive stalled and they had to punt. The Vikings then ran the final 4:53 off the clock, ending the game and the Lions' season."
 
Injuries caused those TDs.

He said the Lions have 10 win talent. Agrees with me. 7 wins is underachieving. Agrees with me.

he covered all of the losses and didn't make excuses...he basically said what we have been saying the entire time...that the Lions lost because of shitty play.

Dude, just stop with the BS.

You're just making yourself look REALLY dumb right now. I'm certainly not one to side with Hughes or Mitch or Tom on things.....as their Debbie Downer TROLLING schtick is pretty laughable in its own right......but they are OWNING you right now.

Just stop. Have some dignity, little guy!!!

It's a fact injuries caused the Steelers 96 yard drive, the Underwood TD and a backup TE was playing on the pick 6 agaisnt the Giants. Missing some defensive players to allowing the 3rd and 15 to the Ravens. And Sam Martin being hurt having David Akers kickoff to allow a Jacoby Jones return.

All those losses were injury related.

I'm not looking dumb. All you idiots agreeing with each other doesn't make me dumb. Those players were injury related. I gave proof above as I always give proof. Favored in 10 games. Proof
