A.L. Central Discussion 2016

[Iffster]

So. After 3 games. The season is over?
Stafford and offense will be slinging the ball all year. Only because the defense is so bad. Lions be behind all year

Not a NFL expert....but I did not see a lot of people picking the Lions as a playoff team to start the season. Anything is possible...but if they play to expectations...Stafford may just end up being a good player on a subpar team. MVP awards tend to go to very good players on very good teams. Stafford needs to play for Bill Belichik or get traded to Green Bay. Playing for the worst sports franchise ever might make him rich, but he will never be a super star.

I think doug predicted that.

Doug...5000 yards....wasn't that like 5 or 6 years ago? Bottom line: His W/L record is approx 43-53 when he starts. Maybe that isn't all his fault....but it sure does not help his image. He has played in two playoff games (lost both) in his seven years. Doug....the HOF is NOT calling his name.

Don't forget indians trending down. Lost 2 straight

oh man....popping champagne in Detroit's locker room? would be pretty awesome. The reason the Indians are gonna win the CEntral this year has been their utter and complete domination of the Motor City Kitties.

What? If they finish this off tonight is it 14-2 vs. the Tigers this year? --- i gotta say- i thought we were better than the Tigers coming into this year- but i didnt expect a complete shellacking like that.

Doug.....you still have the Wolverines. At least until Saturday.

Congrats Indians fans. They really stepped up around May/June and never looked back, just a damn good baseball team. Tito deserves MoY IMO, though there are good cases to be made for Farrell and Banister.

 

[dougplayer]
