Lions 2015 FA Tracker.

One can when one looks like him.

He actually reminds me more of this guy:

Yes!!! I've thought that for years, but didn't think anyone else watches that show!

 

[tpaulus_2]

Fuck yes PFF is only on a year-to-year basis, I thought that was pretty obvious? It's not a lifetime rating system, no preference points. It's simply how well a player played in each game, all year. Then it starts over again next year.

Kind of like how you're reacting to everything these days. Any mention of anything positive Lions related, whoever is stating it, you come back with some trolling, pessimistic, world is coming to an end bs. And that's your prerogative to act that way. But I distinctly remember after your hiatus recently, you came back and said you were done with the drama(I won't mention one of your first threads about Nemo's though). Yet here you are, waist deep in the shit. So you'll have to forgive anyone that doesn't let you "peacefully" have your opinion. It's not like the majority of this board hasn't seen your reactions since Suh left.

I'm sure this is falling on deaf ears(blind eyes?), but it just might be a reason why your OPINIONS aren't treated peacefully.

I just want to remain pals w TP when the Lions blow.

Fuck PFF. Said Ravioli was best C in NFL. Pfffft

We could make so much fucking money together guys.

We could even pay our phone bills we'd make so much Got Damn Cash. And not a one of us would need to exchange it into pounds, or Euros, or Schillings, or Pieces of Eights.

I'll drink to that. (Mike Thomas style.(Which means drink again.))

In saying that, does this mean we should not look at their ratings then? Seems that 2014's production has no bearing on possible 2015 performance. it surely did not with Dom.

No more weird than a group of guys that love the Lions and decide to meet for a home opener weekend every year.

How many business meetings and transactions are done over the Internet these days? Seems to be the norm in today's society. NFL teams are paying this company to give them info. Weird I know.

Some people would rather live in the past where the old "seat of my pants" assessment is still king. They don't want any data clouding up their decision making...

We could if you'd quit hating on the team.

Suh was fucking awesome. He was our best player on defense (probably overall, but Megatron merits a mention as well), and made life for opposing guards and centers hell. He also was not the sole reason our defense was good.

Now I'm not saying that it is still commonly accepted as "normal" by everyone, but the stigma that comes with meeting people online isn't what it used to be. Maybe back in '04 when his company started it was weird, but nowadays it's very common.

That's too bad. Love the team. Hate those in charge of it.

Agreed. And the PFF rankings are only one piece of the puzzle, obviously. I think the reason so many people point towards them, though, is that they're a comprehensive rating that looks at everything, not just one statistical area...

 

[tpaulus_2]

I was also under the impression that they were bought out my a larger media company several years ago, but I can't find any info on that, so...

I went to some of those, and, yeah, all of you are weird. Maybe not as weird as me, but still pretty fucking weird.

15 guys getting drunk at noon on cheap booze in an dark and dirty building just north of 8 mile then driving around in tiny cards trying to kill each other?

Totally normal.

I bet the dude in the middle has on a Suh jersey.

Or maybe Bennie Blades.

I shouldve quoted that....its from an article aPro Football Focus mines endless NFL data to find subtle advantages | The MMQB with Peter Kingbout PFF..

Woah woah now- I got shitfaced on moderately price tequila last year and we've decided the whirly ball at the Joe Dumars fieldhouse is way nicer.

Otherwise, yes, totally normal.
