The Lions Den

[RobBase]

I just traded Keenan Allen and my 2016 1st round pick for Derek Carr. Stafford is my new back up.

So get this shit -

I just went into Hungry Howies to treat myself to a calzone and high five my owner buddy about the Lions. He has no idea what I'm talking about. "What happened again?" he says.

Turns out he's a Niner fan. No wonder he gave my kid that shitty Joquie Bell poster for his birthday with a straight face.

Broke down and entered into DraftKings for the first time. You know. Before it's illegal everywhere.

Can't sleep. The events of the day I guess. Damn over-active mind. Have you ever stared at the computer screen without seeing it? Deep in thought? Then when you come out of it, and see the screen again, you look down at the clock and realize it's an hour and a half later? It's fucked up I tell you.

For the first time since I found out Suh had signed with the Dolphins, I have a positive outlook for the Lions. Thank God for Martha Firestone. She's done more for this organization in a short time than the Ford men did in fifty some odd years. Not only did she cut out the cancer, but is seeking help in the search for a new GM. The Fords would have just promoted somebody they liked, regardless of whether they had the talent for the job at hand. I know a good GM is hard to find, even with the credentials. But at least there is hope.

I hope Jim Bob can improve the efficiency of the offense. Maybe win a few games. I'm not for tanking the season. If the Lions get a good GM, it won't matter if he's picking 1st or 12th. I would be pumped if the Lions could give the Packers a three game losing streak.

I see people comparing Ben Roethlisberger with Eli Manning on the main board. Those two QBs aren't anything alike. Ben is the same QB as Russell Wilson. They both extend plays. Ben with good footwork and brute strength. Wilson with speed and agility. But they're both always looking to throw the ball first.

At least the Lions won't have to do a total rebuild like they did after the 0-16. There is some talent on this team. Mostly on the offense. I like Ansah, Slay, and Quinn on the defense. I'm liking what I'm seeing out of Bynes so far, but that's about it. I have little hope for Levy. His game depended on his speed.

On the offense I'm okay with Stafford for now. He's never going to have touch on his passes, but he possesses enough skill to win with. Two pretty good WRs. I think the OL is only one OT away from being a good unit. When Reiff is your most experienced O-lineman, that's a pretty young unit. Warford two years. Swanson and Tomlinson are first year starters. With Lombardi's ignorant ass gone, maybe a little improvement is possible?

I see a lot of teams struggling with their kickers. Looks like the Lions got there early. One of the few strokes of luck to come the Lions way. At least the Lions special teams have been pretty good.

A minus nine TO ratio isn't going to get it. Why do they call it a ratio, when it's just a difference?

The Detroit Lions official site is shit on the statistical page. I see somebody else that needs to be fired.

With the way offensive lineman are piss poor prepared to play in the NFL coming out of college these days, are teams going to have to let them hold a clipboard for a couple of years before they take the fucking field?

I'd watch TV except for the fact that anything worth watching I've already seen a million times. I'm cancelling my DirecTV Tuesday. 300 channels my ass. 280 of them are either shopping channels, infomercial channels, or brain dead TV (reality show) channels. I thought it was pretty bad that the channel I watched most was WE TV. House, CSI Miami, Law and Order. Now they're hitting it with David Tutera's queer ass shit. Fuck me.

Aw hell. I guess I'll read a book. If you got this far, you've already read one.

The Lions don't have nearly the talent you're giving them credit for, but overall i enjoyed reading your post. I'm firmly in the keep Stafford camp. I'm not saying lock him up for 7 more years, but with all the teams who would be lined up for his services, it's silly to be the ones giving him away. The Lions are the Lions, no one has really succeeds here.

I'm w you on cable. One giant mess of nothing. If it weren't for HD sports, I'd kill it.

3-3! And you KNOW Caldwell will out-coach McCarthy in the second half. SUPERBOWL!

I've been using my 3rd favorite team logo as the last team to beat the Packers. I didn't realize I was going to be changing it every week.

Did Miami beat them in the preseason?

I had this epiphany after the Broncos thrashed them. For some devilish reason, I enjoyed that game.

It's hard to believe they've fallen so far so quickly.

I'm still waiting for the bad news that we did indeed lose on a technicality.

Making plans to head to Ford Field next week to watch a real winner.

Sixth year in a row my high school will be in the Finals.
