Eric Ebron 2015

Overrated by who? We all think he sucks

Lol lions have bad luck picking pass catchers

I'm with you on that.... But let me ask you... How would you feel if we just squeeze a few more jokes in real quick before the season starts?

I think they're fair game until he proves otherwise...

It comes back to what is deemed truly successful. 10 wins vs bad teams, loses piled up vs good ones. Barely grabbing the last seed then bouncing out in round 1. Is that really success? If Stafford can't improve on his 3-38 or whys ever it is vs winning teams, no, I don't expect this regime to last.

And if they miss the playoffs....

Xanders got axed after making the playoffs and winning a game in the tourney for Denver in 2011.

But that franchise isn't exactly the Lions. They'll fire a head coach after winning the division at 12-5.

Kyle Van Noy had six tackles his rookie year. He was a second round pick too.

Mayhew was on fire last year, wasn't he?

Mayhew did say "it's up to Travis", on if he starts or not.

So it's not like he's the one making decisions around here. (Freese did more damage than any 7th rounder I can remember. And Lawson and Reed combined for three, count em THREE tackles. So I think on fire is fair.)

I guess there's no sense in worrying about it. It would be different if Mayhew was trying to build the team through the draft.

I am excited for TJ Jones coming off his redshirt season....

I'm going to take the next few days and try to come up with something about the upcoming Lions season that excites me. I'm sure I can do it, but TJ isn't doing it for me.

Travis Swanson gets to decide if he's starting.

Just think if he picks Tight End to start at. That'd be exciting, right?

He'd be crazy not to pick WR. Have you seen what the Lions are paying them these days?

Is it more than the Broncos and Cowboys are willing to pay theirs?

 

[Thruthefog]

I can't really say that I know the answer to that question, but I'm pretty sure it's more than the Patriots and Seahawks are willing to pay theirs.

 

[lionstop1]

Hmmm.....Nothing else better to do these days I see. LMAO. I peek in for a second and still I see Ebron bashing, Stafford bashing, and Lions not worthy of any credit because they beat such and such teams, blah, blah, blah.

Anyways....cant wait for the season!

Such and such teams? You mean shitty teams with bad records. Fans with low standards will always support this regime.

And other fans will always find ways to nit-pick an 11-5 record.

I disagree that wanting and hoping the Lions can finally beat some winning teams after 6 years is nit-picking.

If the Lions beat 10 losing teams this year, lose 5 vs playoff teams, then get blown out with a chance to win the North, then lose in round 1 of the playoffs again, I will not consider it a success. Will you?

 

[RobBase]

Beating the Pack once a year, and no one else is not good enough anymore.

In your entirely hypothetical scenario devised entirely to serve your point and make yourself look right? No, I would not find that to be a success following the great year we just had.

However, when talking about last year's very real 11-5 record in games that actually happened and are not a"what-if" scenario you just made up, well I consider that to be a very successful season for a 1st-year coaching staff...

 

[tpaulus_2]

But I do love how we're now bashing the Lions for hypothetical losses in a season that hasn't even happened yet.

That might be a new low even for the haters...

It didn't take as long as I thought. I've realized that it's going to be nearly impossible for me to be disappointed this season. If the Lions win more than 3 games, I'll be pleasantly surprised. Little chance for disappointment. That's exciting.
