Game Thread: The I dont want the Lions to win vs the Cardinals game thread

[Old Lion]

Dang. Lions did the best they could to lose this but Arizona was having none of it. They protected their draft position. Also, this is the first time I have ever seen a team try to run out the clock with 3 minutes left in the 3rd qtr and only up by 3.

Jarod Davis finally looked like he was playing football instead of running track. A'shawn had another good game except for the penalties. Maybe his head is finally out of his ass.

I liked the jumbo offense with ZZ running late.

Best to lose? These guys were playing their heart out today. Got a two TD win over a bottom 3 NFL franchise. This one should be great for team morale when we start playing games that count next season.

@broncosmitty ... I will finally concede to Ebron not being a bust. He is setting franchise records for TD's......


















On the Colts.

Bob Quin hates winning.

He's like... We don't need record setting TE's and the best YAC receiver in football.

Quite an indictment on Stafford. More on him than anyone else. Although Ebron had been improving some, and Quin did pull the trigger hastily, no one foresaw this.

Offense through 2 passes > 5 yards. Are RPA was higher then our PPA. Both teams were just running up the middle hoping they didnt score.

He will lead the league in Drops too. I guess if you get 10 passes and drop 2 your numbers still look gawdy. We need help at TE, but it needs to be someone who does not have a near 20% drop rate.

I agree his drops make it so he is not the long term answer, but cutting him to add nothing was dumb, he still would have been the best option on the Lions, and they gained nothing by cutting him.

He doesn't have career highs in receptions or yards yet.


Just TDs.

Quin should be unemployed. As should Fatty McRaperson.



There's no getting around it.

Not really Luck is a great QB the type that doesn't come around often. Stafford is still miles ahead of anything we've had and probably the guy that will eventually replace him. Its his first year in a new offensive system that is a terrible fit for his skill set(and i don't blame JBC i'm fairly certain it wasn't his decision to try and run the Patriots offense).

He was never a bust he was a bad pick there's a difference.

We are not running the Pats offense by any stretch. We have no TE which is a big part of that. We dont run nearly the screens either but that is hard to do without a deep threat. Losing all our stars other than Kenny G makes anything we run easy to defend. The O-line has underachieved as well leaving no time to throw. You should certainly blame JBC. This is his offense. The defense has even done better with less.

We could of used some of those, this year.

I'll give Fat Pat one more year. Quin, I am really wearing thin on. I know he will let our best defensive lineman walk this season. For nothing, same as Ebron.

Levy and Ansahs money falls off after this seaosn. Should be a make or break off-season for Quin this year. Let's see how it rolls with free agency and the draft. I know these fuckers will win out in the rest meaningless games and ruin their draft position. Lose when they need to win and win ,when they need to lose.

Bust for the Lions. Top 10 pick with little to no production. To me that is a bust, at least for the Lions. Fitting to see him setting Colts records now that Andrew Luck is throwing him the rock.
