1984Echoes

That list is the saddest testament ever to over 60 years of International signings with DAMN NEAR nothing to show for it. Damn near nothing. The two best players they signed: Eugenio Suarez at 20 career WAR and Willy Adames at 18+ career WAR... they dumped before they did anything with Detroit. Damn close to a big fat 0 with ALL of our international signings. So sad.

I'm going to make the assumption that the two Juan Hernandez signed in 1983 is actually one player in which two different birthdates were discovered...?

That could make for an interesting trade deadline (meaning an acquisition or two...) for the first time in quite some while...

I'm thinking that would be better (defensively and matchups) for the #1 line than having DeBrincat & Kane on the 1st line... They're fun and all (Kane & Cat); but I'd rather have them on the #2 line as a scoring line. With Copp maybe...

Except... They're losing just as bad as Russia (Hamas close to being wiped out as a viable entity and they've at the very least lost Gaza; Hezbollah won't escalate above a few missiles sent into northern Israel, just to keep 'em honest; and the Houthi's had missiles rained down upon them last night... I don't expect much more than whimpering from the Houthi's or Iran at this point...). Russia is obviously larger, more powerful, and able to withstand more... and 99.9% of what they've lost is in Ukraine, not in Russia proper. Although that does include a massive amount of lost military prestige, equipment and personnel... Who has lost more in these two wars? Probably Russia. And Hamas (not Iran).

That's all Trump wanted anyways... is a Show. He thinks he can win this case (in which he is already GUILTY as already noted...), with... A Show.

No... the real reason is much simpler: "All my family lives in Alabammy; can't move/live anywhere else."

😄😉

Dude... No one wants to steal your thunder... So you need to get that Playoff Game Thread up pronto! As soon as we know the date/ time!!!

Agreed...

Wild that the Lions traded Stafford to the Rams, who won their Super Bowl... And rebuilt their team, with Goff and the plethora of Rams' picks returned in trade, plus other "stuff" of course... And two years after Stafford winning the Super Bowl we're playing him and the Rams in our first playoff game in forever, rebuilt team from the Stafford trade and all....

That was an interesting tidbit that just came to light... But is Ertz in FB shape...?

"WTF is WRONG with KIDS these days?!?!": Old man shouting at clouds passing by...

If we could find a true #1 CB he probably wouldn't be so bad as a #2...

I don't think Aaron Glenn will be in the "top 5 next head coaches" this offseason. I think he needs another year, and a better secondary, in order to prove he can get a D to rise to "playoff worthy". Just my 2 cents...

I'm ready to drop edge rusher to the bottom of that list because (A) Gotta fix this secondary, (B) Our kicker is a disaster IMO, (C) Absolutely need quality interior O-Line depth because a couple guys are older/ and or getting nicked up and... the O-Line makes this offense go... I really want to have an A+ backup or 2 on the O-Line, especially the interior... And... mostly... because... (D) I think we're able to create/ manufacture enough pass-rush whether we add another edge rusher or not. It could always be improved... But it's less of a concern to me than the above 3. Houston will be back. And Glenn has been dialing up Melifonwu/ Anzalone/ Campbell/ etc. blitzes that have been highly effective. Always keep an eye out for pass-rushers... but ranking problems to me is: 1) Secondary, 2) Fix Kicker, 3) MUST have top-notch O-Line depth, 4) add pass-rushing wherever possible. Always.

Yes, it is. What you are saying is that Ben Johnson and Dave Campbell completely lack the creativity to work around a key guy being out for a period of time, and that Goff is incapable of scoring points if his rookie TE is missing the game. Complete, and total, falsehood. On all counts.

I wanna see that one again as I was watching Hutch collapse the right side of the pocket and then Levi slipped through. I'd like to see what Levi actually did to get home on that sack...

Hyperbolic overstatement of the year.

If you sit LaPorta... Who plays TE for the Lions?

James Mitchell is healthy... Yes?

If you hover over someone's Username... There is an "Ignore" option you can click on lower RH corner... Sometimes... It's useful.

They have two 3rds and I don't believe it out of the realm of possibilities one of 'em is used to fix the kicker position. There are actually 2 kickers both accurate and with monster legs (over 50% from over 50 yards): Josh Karty and Dragan Kesich.

Well... Tuomisto seemed to mature slowly but he's now in Grand Rapids and looking decent I believe, if not yet ready for the NHL... They've got Seider. And just drafted Pellikka, who looks beyond dynamic... And in the same draft they added another depth guy in 2nd rounder Andrew Gibson (RH'd D). And Anton Johansson RHD in the 4th round 2022... So they've got some guys on the right side but mostly we don't know how they're going to turn out, or how long it takes, aside from Seider. It wouldn't bother me if Stevie is able to hunt for a defenseman or two at the deadline... I'll take one from each side thank you very much.

I think the Wings are going to try like hell to hold onto their RH'ed D-prospects. They'll trade from the Left side if it comes to that... IMO.
