    What draft decision will the Lions regret most?

    Everyone of us are armchair GMs! If we were not we would have nothing to say or argue about. So looking at the draft in retrospect what move will the Lions regret the most? Keep in mind every move would create a ripple effect so it really has to be about one move. For example if you thought...

    Positions that need to be addressed pre draft edition

    The Offseason is about half over and the all important draft is less than one month away. The Lions have lost Suh, get over it, and gained Ngata, like the price or not. For a team that won 11 games and made the playoffs they probably have the most holes to fill from the playoff teams. But...

    List the Future Contract Concerns

    OK.... Time to get away from Suh leaving and Mayhew/Lewand bashing....at least for a minute! The Lions have salary cap room the next few years. With dead money leaving and 2 years of CJ's contract left Detroit is in pretty good shape to resign some of their players to long term deals 3 or...

    Any Lions Rumors to report?

    News? Rumors? And I don't include wishful thinking!

    Top 5 Wide Receivers for 2015....

    List your top 5 receivers for next year. Don't make this about the last 3-4 years but predict the top 5 for 2015. I am interested in how many Lion fans still think CJ is a top 5 WR. Some names to ponder...... OBJ, AJ Green, Julio Jones, Dez Bryant, Antonio Brown, Demaryius Thomas, Jordy nelson...

    Smitty are you in trouble?

    WMU Booster's Wife Sues Message Board Posters Over Fuck Rumors Never thought a person would get in trouble over what is written on a sports web site! This should be a Hoppla fairy tail told to bad posters before they go to bed!

    No Suh, would you sign Fairley?

    If Suh doesn't get franchised and leaves via free agency do we use the cap space to go after Fairley? Up until his injury he was having arguably the best season of his career. And with no starting DTs back signing Fairley makes the need to draft a DT in the first round diminishes. So...

    It's time for Radical Thinking!

    Fire Caldwell and promote Austin! Give Caldwell a gold watch and tell him thanks but the future is Austin! Caldwell is an offensive guy but really Detroit's offense was as bland as oatmeal. A good OC will get as much or more out of the offense as Caldwell and Lombardi. But that defense in...

    UofM Coaching Staff & Odds and ends

    First I am disappointed in the UofM boards here. So many fans bailed from CBS and ESPN. Not SportsHoopla's fault but we went from a top 3 posted board to nothing here. I will throw this out and see if I can get some responses. Harbaugh has been in contact with assistant coaches and a staff is...

    Whinny Bitch Fans!

    First this is directed to the dumb ass Lion fans that call in to local sports radio shows! Exhibit 1. Suh should be suspended he is a dirty player! From the same motherfuckers that cheered the bad boys and Bob Probert and Joey Kocur! Yes he is a dirty player! But so was Lambeer, Probert...

    2014 Draft Redux

    First this isn't about Eric Ebron's accomplishments or lack of! Given where Detroit is now and the needs they have, who would you take in the first round if you had a do over given who went after Ebron.

    Suh or Levy?

    I am piggybacking on Smitty's thread so I will give him credit.... If signing Suh to a long term deal means you will not be able to resign Levy who do you want long term? Levy's a free agent in 2016 and will be finishing a 3 year 9 million dollar deal and I would expect if he continues...

    Does the Coaching staff trust Stafford?

    At 5-2 this looks to be like finding fault for the sake of finding fault, but I think even with a winning record Lion fans see the offense as the biggest liability on this team! Caldwell and Lombardi have implemented a whole new game plan and it does not look like anything Stafford has ever...

    Hoke needs to GO!

    As a lifelong UofM fan and one that has been relatively silent the last 5 years I can't take this shit no more! Hoke was a young guy with ties to UofM and Bo more precisely. At the time of the hire it looked pretty good since the number 1 choice Jim Harbaugh was not going to come to Ann...

    Who has leverage in the Suh contract talks?

    Going into this off season I believed Suh was going to get a new deal so the Lions could free up cash to sign a couple of free agents. Didn't happen. The whole debacle with Suh changing agents was just a disaster for that hope. Then I got the feeling Suh's contract would be restructured...

    Veterans with job security issues!

    53 man roster was pretty set before the draft and now I wonder what vets will be looking for new homes shortly. The easy one IMO is Lehoure. With Bell, Bush, Riddick, and Jed Collins as FB I think LeShoure is expendable. Tough to keep a guy when a rookie on the practice squad can provide as...

    2013 NFL Draft Redux, Your thoughts?

    Good read and puts the draft in prospective after only one year sample. The Lions did a great job in redux draft grading. They have two top 5 picks! And I would venture to say that Waddle and Fauria would be 2-3 day picks instead of UDFAs. 1. Kansas City Chiefs (Original pick: Eric...

    Are you a BCS Conference Player snob?

    Every year when the draft rolls around we discuss players but are you bias to thinking a big time program prospect is a better player? For example this year I was discussing Barr vs Mack with some guys from work and Barr was getting more love, and the most common cited reason was he played in...

    Suh was uncontrollable in the locker room?

    Detroit Lions' Ndamukong Suh 'uncontrollable' in locker room, says Fox analyst | Detroit Free Press | freep.com Heath Evans gave to anonymous sources more press as he stated that Suh like to show his dominance over Schwartz in the locker room. Not saying it didn't happen but I would...

    Interesting comment by 97.1 Pat Caputo

    During my 2 hour ride home last night in some of the worst driving conditions I can remember….nobody was plowing or salting last night, I heard some comments by Pat Caputo. To paraphrase…. Junior had a meeting with Lewand and Mayhew and he did not mince words or play nice. Junior told them...

    Tebow as the #2 QB?

    Ok I am tired of coach talk and what schemes we may get with a new HC. I also find the whole Kreton v Pete G (Bears) feud funny but played out. So with nothing but time…. If Hill walks to find a chance to be a #1 and/or to save salary space how about Tebow as a #2? I don't like...

    Could the Lions transition to the 3-4 defense?

    I hear talk about some Head Coach candidates and their D-Coordinators the Lions are looking at that may run the 3-4 defense. Most switches from the 4-3 to the 3-4 mean personnel changes and finding guys that have experience in the new defense. But looking at the Lions would a move to the 3-4 be...

    Where did the Lions season go Fubar?

    I watched the Lions and like so many when they were 6-3 I had thoughts of NFC Championship game dancing in my mind! The so called talking heads even had Detroit as a team capable of beating Seattle! And like so many previous seasons the train jumped the tracks! The Lions coaching staff looked...

    Is it time for Mayhew to go?

    Detroit has been pretty consistent the last 13-15 years! Awful and short of a season or two that fans got their hopes up Detroit has fallen flat on their over paid asses! The Millen years set this franchise back a decade! His drafts and coaching hires were epic failures. Without the...
