OT: Lions-Broncos.

Without a doubt, Staffford is the most frustrating Lions QB ever. He has the talent of a Brett Favre, and he's technically still young. But he's just so dumb.
September 27th, 2015 at 11:38 PM ^
He does not have the talent of Brett Favre.
September 28th, 2015 at 12:13 AM ^
He has the elite arm strength
He's athletic
He's physically tough
And has a gunslingers mentality
If that doesn't dound like Favre, I don't know what does.
The difference is that Stafford is just straight up dumb, doesn't appear to have the same passion as Favre did., and has received virtually no coaching or oline support. Without what I just mentioned, you have a less douchy, younger Cutler.

TALENT DOES NOT EQUAL PHYSICAL ABILITY.
I wish that people would put some thought in to that statement. Perhaps most people are not capable of deep thinking? I dunno...what is in others minds.
A strong arm, and somewhat athletic does not equal the TALENT that Brett Favre had/has.
I just completely disagree with that. Fuck...if you think that way...what was Ryan Leaf?
TALENT IS MORE THAN PHYSICAL ABILITY.

If you ever thought this team was a playoff team, you've lost your fucking mind.
They're going to be 0-5 in two weeks. This is a 6 win team, tops.

$9.7 million of Suh's prior contracts are counting against the Lions' cap THIS YEAR.
That's a fair amount of talent that could have been added to this team
Worse is Stafford's contract, which is likely the reason the Lions had to mortgage Suh's cap hits into the future, which is why they had to let him go.

The Lions need to remove the black trim from their jerseys. The Millen curse.

Calvin Johnson smilin and laughin with the Broncos after the game. Same ol Lions.

OK...
September 27th, 2015 at 11:59 PM ^
Also unlike college, most players do move around in their career and play on multiple teams with many different teammates, so it is not unnatural to chat or congratulate a player that is currently on the opposition.

This offense lacks imagination. Oh hey I have an idea! Let's run the ball on 1st down again! Yeah, respect the run. Or something. OH hey, it gained 1 yard. WOO! Let's run again! Minus two yards. 3rd and long...well I suppose it's time to pass now, eh?
Borges would be proud.
September 27th, 2015 at 11:59 PM ^
September 28th, 2015 at 8:15 AM ^
I just don't believe the "respect the run" crap. If you can't run, you can't run. Then stop running! Not only are you gaining 1-2 yards at most and wasting a down, you're also happily bleeding off clock for Denver.
This is why I don't watch the NFL...
September 27th, 2015 at 11:58 PM ^
Happy to live in a market that only gets the novel Lions games. What a travesty, man.
September 28th, 2015 at 12:02 AM ^
Lions' failures strongly correlates to 1 thing and 1 thing only - ownership by the Fords. You can bring in all new players and all new coaches, but they and the continued losing are the constants that remain.
September 28th, 2015 at 12:02 AM ^
I'm glad I don't get to see the Lions much! They may show the Chiefs vs Lions game from London but by that time the Lions will be 1-6! I'm sure the coach will have to go 0-16 before he is fired!
September 28th, 2015 at 12:09 AM ^
Ever since Caldwell took over the Lions offense has stunk. They were #6 in offense in 2013 before he took over, but dropped to #19 last year. And this year they look even worse. What the heck? Is Caldwell just an awful offensive coach?
September 28th, 2015 at 12:19 AM ^
He's a decent playcaller, as evidenced by the fact he was able to jump in, improve, and win a Super Bowl as an OC. He's just insanly conservative and loyal, which is why he has stuck with a terrible OC hire that should've been fired last year. I mean, it blows my mind that Lombardi is still here.
September 28th, 2015 at 12:22 AM ^
It's pretty clear Calvin Johnson made Stafford look good for many years.... Now that CJ is falling off, Stafford looks mediocre aka he always was mediocre.
September 28th, 2015 at 2:11 AM ^
that CJ is falling off. IMO he is too young to be falling off unless he has undisclosed injuries that haven't healed. I think the offensive game plan stinks. But I could be wrong.
September 28th, 2015 at 9:01 AM ^
CJ actually bailed Stafford out many times. But...Stafford isn't getting him the ball nearly enough. What happened to "throw it up in the general vicinity of CJ and see if he can catch it"? Remember when Stafford's problem was throwin it to CJ too much? That's been the Lions best play the last few years...and right now CJ is being severely underutilized, all in the name of "respect the run".
September 28th, 2015 at 2:00 AM ^
but they just cost me winning my football pool this week. Ultimately it is my fault for picking them, but good God that was a pathetic offensive display. It wasn't Bears bad, but it was close.
September 28th, 2015 at 6:48 AM ^
WHY? WHY? WHY?????? 40+ Years of losing. Thats where I personally told the Lions I will always love you like an ex-wife... So therefore, I will no longer watch as you play other fans like a violin the way you played me, breaking my heart over and over.again. Goodbye Lions, its been fun but not very fun.
September 28th, 2015 at 8:24 AM ^
And that procedural penalty on Denver's FG was beyond words.
Also of course they got an extra point blocked. They looked lazy on it from the snap. The new extra point rule is designed to punish dumb teams like the Lions.
So many unforgivable mistakes...way to perform in the Sunday night spotlight guys.
September 28th, 2015 at 8:41 AM ^
The only good thing is that the Lions saved everyone 4 hours next week as there is no need to watch them next Sunday as they go on the road to Seattle.
September 28th, 2015 at 11:09 AM ^
Try 52 hours. The season is over--you can shut them off for the year.
At least my wife is from Boston, so I can watch the Pats games with her and root for Brady.
September 28th, 2015 at 11:34 AM ^
Yup, this season is over. Lions fans are lucky because they get to look forward to winning the NFL draft for ~48+ weeks out of the year.
