Youre the GM

[lgolfer]

anyone else wonder if lkp keeps a journal of all these meaningless facts? lol

He must have little documents detailing everyone's stats from each game and who got injured when, lol

 

[lgolfer]

They had no clue that would happen. It took major injuries, miracle FGs, blizzards, a non called block in the back against Vikings and some fluke turnovers (last 2 Bucs game) and a Stafford tough streak after a 19 TD and 7 int start. Anyone that stuck to 7-9 after a 6-3 start is just a pure hater.

They had a guess at the beginning of the season, which turned out to be true. Who cares how it happened. If the Lions went 0-9 to start the season and won their last 7 games, a 7-9 prediction would still be correct.

We didn't get hit very bad with the injury bug this year
it wasn't a miracle....it was the lions
block in the back? lol
fluke turnovers = Stafford shitting the bed.
I stuck to my prediction. I was right. I was happy they made it to my prediction. Way to improve Gym Shorts! oh wait....you don't have a job anymore do you?

61 yard miracle.
We had plenty of very important injuries in the last 7. First 9, somewhat healthy, 6-3, injured 1-6.

Fluke turnovers I was referring to was Durham fumble and the pick of Calvins hands on a great throw. You lose hughes

You weren't right. The Lions just coincidentally got hurt, played in a blizzard and allowed a 61 yard FG.

I don't know how many times we have to say it. If someone predicts a certain record at the beginning of the season, and the team ends up with that record, then the person is correct. It's simple. A 6 year-old would understand that. And Tucker has one of the better legs in the league. I think most of us were expecting him to make it. Why else would the Ravens not be more aggressive going down the field at the end?

correct...his coach expected him to make it. Hence they ran the ball. Our idiot ex coach expected him to miss it therefor the numbnuts lets the clock run down to 30 secs. Way to play to lose Gym!

The depth got hurt too. Houston hurt, so was Slay and Mathis and Bentley in the Giants game. This led to Greenwood on the field. But he did well.

Pit game. Ansah and Jones. Devin Taylor and Idonije are decent depth but not full time.

at Pit. Both Burleson and Broyles hurt. Leads to Ross playing and of course Durham always on the field.

Ravens game Houston was hurt and the depth of Slay was hurt. Had to turn to Green and Mathi.

Steeler game, Quin hurt , Carey had to play nickel not safety because Bentley was hurt so this led to Gomes playing. Carey did well at safety in 2012, sucks in the slot other than the at Chi game Carey did well at slot.

Houston, Green and Bentley out for Vikings game. This lead to Carey at nickel. Carey did well at safety 2012 but blows at nickel CB.

Waddle was the depth and played great. Fox blows though I'll give you that for the Vikings and Packer game. Hilliard was hurt for Packer game though and they didnt make the switch to Waddle yet.

Houston out against Pack at home, Slay good depth that game.

Bush out vs Zona, Bell is good depth but didn't play well at Zona. Bell did well at Washington for Bush. Bell did decent at Eagles but 2 blizzard fumbles. Plus no Waddle hurt the run game.

And then Calvin. 2 away division games and limited against Giants. All 3 huge games. No WR 1 depth. Agree with that but Mayhew had bigger positions to fix last offseason.

almost every team has had similar injuries. Some had more, some had fewer but the players on the field overcame.

Off the top of my head some of this year's teams had more significant injuries or impact players missing time and still overcame those circumstances. Seattle didn't have their best WR for most of the year, lost pro-bowl DBs for many games. 49ers lost all pro DE for several games, #1 WR for most of the season, all pro LB for several games. Denver lost their best defensive player for much of the season and quite possibly the best LT in the game. NE lost their best offensive weapon in Gronk.

Ask Russell Wilson if he needs a #2 wr, he'd be happy with just a #1. Luck lost Reggie Wayne for the last half of the season and didn't go in the tank. He's doing it with TY Hilton and Lavon Brazil.

No doubt. Almost like they were laughing at us. So obvious they were running down the clock because they felt comfortable he would make it.

You need the whole picture. How many games and how many people. Who did they play that was hurt too is very important. Who home and away. NFC West played NFC South and AFC South. San Fran wetne 4-2 in their division just like Detroit. Lost to Indy, at Seattle, at NO and Carolina.

Seattle. 4-2 division, same as Detroit. Lost to Indy. Rest of AFC South sucks and played Saints at home. Played Carolina week 1 when they started 1-3. Seattle almost lost to Bucs.

San Fran and Seattle are vastly overrated.

One of those two will be playing in and may win a Super Bowl.

NFC West has 3 (maybe 4) teams that might be better than any team in the NFC central. The NFC west has a +359 point differential outside their division. The NFC central has a -114 point differential outside of the division. You are high if you think SF and Seattle are vastly overrated.

Like I said, they played NFC South and AFC South to get that differential.

They are overrated.

And what teams are still left in the playoffs? 2 NFC West teams and 2 NFC South teams.... I usually agree with you on things but not this time bud.

 

[tomdalton22]

Like I said, they played NFC South and AFC South to get that differential.

they were also 5-0 vs the NFC central this year outscoring them 165-110

Detroit beat Seattle in 2012. Overrated

Can we trade places? They can have the win and we can have the Super Bowl caliber team?
