The Lions Blow...

[Spursfan092120]

The Skins are a more talented team than the Lions, BUT the Lions will beat them and get a W.
Wow...very rarely agree with you on anything...but good call.

[Spursfan092120]

Man..that's crazy...that guy in that video had no respect whatsoever..can't believe he was talking and acting like that towards his dad. If I ever talked to my dad like that he'd beat my ass, if he didn't have ALS...but I wouldn't do that shit. Respect your mom and dad...that's fucked up.

[benefactor]

Congrats fellas. Soon you will be like us Texans fans and have high expectations only to have them crushed by inconsistency.

[LOL texans]

Just like I said.

[LOL texans]

Wow...very rarely agree with you on anything...but good call.

Thanks Walsh, its just not hard to see that the redskins blow AND are a stupid team.

[whatever_gong82]

Congrats fellas. Soon you will be like us Texans fans and have high expectations only to have them crushed by inconsistency.

We've had William Clay Ford Sr. as the Owner of the Detroit Lions since 1964, and have only 1 Playoff Win to show for it.

When the NFL Commisioner asks you do you need help, i.e. help you get a GM that knows what the heck they are doing, and you turn down his help, then it's on you.

I'm happy we won yesterday, :toast but the millstone to this Organization sits in the Owner's Box, and will continue to be until he sells the team or is gone.

[DarkReign]

I will become a huge Lions fan the day Senior dies an unceremonious death.

I'd my money down the Lions will be a very good the very next year, post Ford, Sr.

As reference: see Blackhawks, Chicago for evidence to what a loser owner can keep your team from becoming through piss poor management and an eye on the bottom line, not the win column.

Report: Browns trading Corey Williams to Lions (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=4109052)

Browns defensive lineman Corey Williams made it clear last year that he wasn't happy in Cleveland. Now he's on the way out.

Chris Mortensen of ESPN is reporting that unnamed sources say Williams will land with the Lions in exchange for a late-round draft pick. Mortensen writes that Williams is scheduled to take a physical on Friday to finalize the trade from the Browns to the Lions.

Although acquiring Williams would bolster the Lions' defensive line, Mortensen writes that the Lions wouldn't be done upgrading their defensive line there. Per Mortensen, the Lions may also sign free agent defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch and draft Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh.

Williams played in all 16 games for the Browns last year and recorded four sacks.



Sources: Lions to acquire Williams (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4967021)


On the surface a trade that proposes sending Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Corey Williams to the Detroit Lions on Friday may not seem like a big deal. But it could influence the NFL draft on April 22 with the Lions choosing second overall.

If Willliams lands with the Lions for a low draft pick, as sources say, he is expected to return to the role he played with his original team, the Green Bay Packers, which allowed him to play a more aggressive style which is commonly called a three technique. The Packers designated him as a franchise player in 2008 but traded him to the Browns for a second-round draft pick.

Williams could also be part of a revamped defensive front-four for the Lions and would free them up to select Nebraska's Ndamukong Suh over Oklahoma's Gerald McCoy if both defensive tackles are available at No. 2. Suh is considered by many NFL evaluators to be more versatile along the defensive front. The Lions also have not ruled out trading down a few slots to collect an extra draft pick and still land another impact player, either on defense or the offensive line.

Williams is scheduled to take a physical on Friday to finalize the Browns and Lions trade.

The Lions also will pursue free agent defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch, who once played for coach Jim Schwartz, the former defensive coordinator of the Titans. Vanden Bosch could have other suitors. The Seahawks also are expected to consider Vanden Bosch and Aaron Kampman as potential pass-rush defensive ends.

In dealing Williams, the Browns would pick up their 12th pick for next month's NFL draft and league sources say they have been very active in discussions with other teams regarding potential trades and free agency signings, including restricted free agents who would require draft pick compensation. The Browns have made it known that former Pro Bowl nose tackle Shaun Rogers is available for trade.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Well, here we go again.

Team is better but the back 7 will be a sieve. Is it possible to have the worst defense for four consecutive years? Why, yes, yes it is.

Stage one is on track as the optimism is full tilt for the first time in quite a few years.

That said, the opener scares me. It reminds of opening in ATL a few years ago. I'd like nothing better than to put Cutler, Martz and Marinelli in their rightful place but I just don't see it.

4-12

[samikeyp]

FWIW...I think the Lions will suck less than Da Bears.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Yeah, well this season is surprisingly over quicker than most others.

Stafford is rumored to be out anywhere from 6-8 weeks to the entire season.

And fuck you, NFL. That was an easy TD.

[HarlemHeat37]

The NFL loses points from me for that ridiculous rule, sucks for the Lions..

Stafford is a huge blow as well, Lions can't catch a break..even Mike Williams is producing now, insult to injury for Lions fans :lol..

[SAtown]

To think the Lions could have been alone atop the NFC North...

[Pistons < Spurs]

Lions fear that Stafford will miss as little as 2-3 weeks, as many as 4-6 weeks

With Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford suffering an injury to his throwing shoulder in the regular-season opener, the early word filtering out of the Detroit organization is that the team believes Stafford will miss two-to-three weeks, at a minimum.

Depending on the results of the MRI, the team fears that Stafford will miss up to four-to-six weeks.

The Lions' next six games includes games against the Eagles, Vikings, Packers, Rams, and Giants. Detroit's bye comes in Week Seven.

UPDATE: A source close to Stafford describes the team's concern as "all speculation at this point." X-rays were not taken at the game because the Lions had no access to a machine at Soldier Field. X-rays and an MRI will be performed in the morning.http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/09/12/lions-fear-that-stafford-will-miss-as-little-as-2-3-weeks-as-many-as-4-6-weeks/

Clearly a touchdown using common sense.

But the referees made the right call based on the rule.

What a fucking stupid rule though.

Agreed.

[DarkReign]

...and my friends wonder why I wont go to Ford Field or spend one fucking dollar on this organization until that old fucker is finally dead.

What a pathetic team. The Bears suck, this much is clear. But what was supposed to be a strength in offense is a handicap with Stafford and an abortion without him. The defense actually did mildly well, surprisingly.

Exhibition games are such bullshit indicators for teams.

[lefty]

Lions got ROBBED


WTF

[DarkReign]

:lmao

[JamStone]

The Lions do not officially blow anymore.

They have gone from sucking cock to licking asshole.

From now on, it's "the Lions tongue."

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Yeah, even I don't really pay attention any more.

They suck hard and with their schedule, will have a tough time winning 2 games.

Can't believe they are going to tie and possibly break the 24 game road losing streak six years after setting it.

That's just a fucking sad joke.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Just another note: After the Packers drop 50+ on the Lions this weekend, that'll be their 18th consecutive divisional loss. That's the most in the last 40 years and I believe a new record.

They just don't seem to disappoint.

[sa_butta]

The Detroit Lions (http://www.nfl.com/teams/detroitlions/profile?team=DET) will start quarterback Shaun Hill (http://www.nfl.com/players/shaunhill/profile?id=HIL586565) again Sunday at Green Bay while Matthew Stafford (http://www.nfl.com/players/matthewstafford/profile?id=STA134157) recovers from a shoulder injury.
Lions coach Jim Schwartz said Wednesday that Stafford won't be healthy enough to play this week and Hill will make his second consecutive start.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

More:

According to STATS LLC, the Lions' 3-40 record in their past 43 games is the lowest winning percentage of any NFL team in any 43-game span since 1920.

It really is amazing that they find new goals to reach.

[benefactor]

That would actually be 1922...since the league was the APFA before that.

Dont be so sure. As evidenced by the last few posts, the Lions are only interested in setting records they can realistically attain.

Ok...1-5, 2 games back in the loss column...playoffs here we come :downspin:

[DarkReign]

Lol?

[DarkReign]

Good to see Stanton do well, good to see the defense play out-fucking-standing for two games in a row, good to see some depth at the RB position.

But its a mirage. Progress is tough to judge when no opponent takes you seriously. The Lions will be taken seriously this coming Sunday...lets see how they do there.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

It's progress, brah. Baby steps, but progress nonetheless. They usually have mailed it in by now.

True progress won't happen until Stafford can find a way to stay on the field. Knowing this franchise, I'm not betting on that ever happening.

I'm not one to blow smoke, but they really aren't that far away.

[Blake]

I'm not one to blow smoke, but they really aren't that far away.

seems to me the talent is there.......Stafford, Best, Calvin, Suh.....

[sa_butta]

Should be a real barn burner when you guys face the Dolphins this week...Our offense blows more the than any team right now...I think the Lions can actually win this week....If you can make more field goals than us...LOL

[JamStone]

seems to me the talent is there.......Stafford, Best, Calvin, Suh.....

It's not a stretch to think the Lions could be 7-7 this season if Matthew Stafford didn't get injured in game 1. Now, I can't prove that but it's a reasonable assumption. And that would be significant progress. But like all pro sports, it's a bottomline business so speaking in hypotheticals really means jack squat. They are a more competitive team this season compared to the previous few years. But that's still not good enough. Has to translate to more wins next season or the progress still doesn't matter.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

seems to me the talent is there.......Stafford, Best, Calvin, Suh.....

Not yet. They still need to add some competent LBs, CBs and get some depth/replace a starter or two on the OL.

They've gotten some bad breaks with injuries and had some of the most questionable calls in the league go against them this year.

Schwartz and his staff have done an admirable job considering the hand they've been dealt this year.

[Flintstones32]

seems to me the talent is there.......Stafford, Best, Calvin, Suh.....

I am not sold on Best at all. I actually like Morris better than him as of right now.

[DarkReign]

Ok, starting to believe DLF here.

[Jose Canseco]

Patrick Patterson or Prince Amakumara and Marcus Cannon or a OLB/DE in the first two rounds would go a long way into solidifying the team's roster. Oh, it's nice to have some hope for a football team. The really scary part is that the potential success of the team still relies ultimately in the health of Matt Stafford, which is a very fragile proposition.

It's amazing what a couple of wins can do for hope... whether they end up being crushed in the next few years or not.

[Marklar MM]

SUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

4 game win streak to end the year. WOOHOO!!!

Draft a corner/linebacker in the 1st two rounds.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Didn't want to feel left out.

Tulloch, JohnJo and re-signing Avril makes this another solid offseason. Odds of that happening? 10%

I'm guessing Joseph goes elsewhere.

[Blake]

that D-line is sick, tbh.

too bad Millen isn't still around though. A receiving corps of Calvin, Dez, Julio Jones, Crabtree and Randy Moss would have been sicker.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Lions and Bills are tied for the longest current playoff drought (going on 12 years). Hope Detroit can finally make it, cause the Bills sure as shit ain't.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

From watching the preseason game the other night, the Bills have depth issues at OL and QB. How Thigpen is the backup is beyond me. He's fucking terrible. Pretty bad when you're outplayed by Zac Robinson and Levi Brown.

Merriman and the D looked pretty good.

Wouldn't surprise me at all to see the Bills reach .500 this year.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Fuck depth issues, we have STARTING issues at those positions, and have ever since 2000. It just boggles my mind how they've neglected the O-line for over a decade. I think Thigpen is 0-12 career as a starter...another solid offseason pick-up by the Bills.


Merriman and the D looked pretty good.

Merriman looks like his 2006-2007 self again, hope he can stay healthy and avoid failing drug tests. The defensive line is improved, and Dareus is going to be a stud.


Wouldn't surprise me at all to see the Bills reach .500 this year.

I would be very surprised if they got 6 wins this year.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Yeah, the WRs are razor thin as well.

But I like Fitzpatrick. And the D will be better.

I haven't seen their schedule, but 6-8 wins doesn't seem impossible.

[pawe]

CB Darius Butler has been released by the Patriots.
Lions should go after him...if the Panthers and the Cards let him pass by.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Why? He isn't an upgrade to what they have now. Seems similar to Alphonso Smith; talented but loses confidence quickly.

He was claimed by the Panthers yesterday.

[DarkReign]

I think its pretty safe to say the Lions no longer blow.

That is all.

[Trainwreck2100]

Lions and Bills are tied for the longest current playoff drought (going on 12 years). Hope Detroit can finally make it, cause the Bills sure as shit ain't.

Good call moron, I hope Ryan Fitzpatrick comes here to give you a proper chiding for your insult to the Bills

For shame.
