Rushing and Winnings

[dubbsco]

Tons of teams have playoff winning talent. It's a matter of actually doing it. Lions have not been able to do that in however many years.

I envy fans from Green Bay, Denver, Pittsburgh, Boston, etc... Because they have actually been able to enjoy success. It's brutal.

The team has playoff winning talent. Go fucking root for the packers if you don't think Detroit does

This is the life of a Lions fan.

Preseason you marvel at all our playoff winning talent.

Postseason you root for a team that actually wins playoff games.

Repeat.

I root for nobody in the playoffs. Especially the scum packers. Fuck that soft team living off rodgers. A player they didn't even fucking want.

If you are a Lion's fan the season typically ends some time in November or early December. Too bad the Lions took someone they wanted (Mike Williams) vs. what they really needed (Aaron Rodgers).

Wasn't there a running back Green Bay passed on that we took? I remember he was pretty good. I forget his name. Retired kinda young.

I can't describe how much I hated the Mike Williams pick. Demarcus Ware was my choice. He hasn't been any good though either...

Artose Pinner?

Before him the only one I can think of is Barry Sanders.

People complain about lack of depth. Then complain about LeShoure not getting touches.

Oh you want CB/safety depth only on a team. Got it.

Riddick in 2013 in the 6th. Boo hoo. None in 2014. 2011 we needed a workhorse. Late Round 2 using a 3rd/4th. Bell beat him out. So be it. Bell is good. We're set.

Hunter, James, Lattimore, Hyde.
Round 4, 2, 4 and 2 in the last 4 years for San Fran. And they still have Frank Gore on the team.

Hunter ACL, James hurt, Lattimore shredded knee. Go talk to Baalke about this hughes.

I think the 49ers had an average of 12 picks in each of those drafts along with a stacked roster. They drafted Lattimore and basically red shirted him. They drafted Hyde because Gore is on the last year of his contract. They draft for need and for the future. hmmm...seems like the Lions have 2 starting DT's on their roster that are on the last years of their contracts too. Probably would have been wise to think ahead like Baalke.

Lions did this with Reiff and Broyles. Lions had a great draft in 2013 and 2014. Need and future.

Carradine, Lattimore. Injury risks.

San Fran has more picks than they can even sign...hence they can afford luxury picks. we have no depth anywhere.....and rb is the one position you don't need any depth yet its the position the lions have it lmao. Just another example how this franchise is ass backwards.
