All you people who wanted FGs realize we'd still be losing right? you dont win games kicking FGs.

Normally I'd agree with you here but in this case the number 1 seed is the only thing that matters and you have to win out. 2 and 3 seeds are both playing with home field advantage and have to win an extra game. You aren't penalized form your current position if you lose. You also have one of the worst kicking games and going against one of the best. Overtime doesn't give you better odds of winning the game then a 1 and done play but that's in my opinion. Frankly if Goff throws the ball higher and in front of Mitchell he scores so if executed better I think we are celebrating how much guts it took.

Honestly the defense for all of their faults have played well today. On the offense of side of things Dallas has been the aggressor so we are going to have to find a way to slow them down. Run blitzing on almost every play so far.

This act of yours is tiring...how in anyway can you blame Aaron Glenn for placing the players in place to make a play? He is a below Average DC imo but if the player executed the sack it was an amazing call.

if you are looking for wide receiver and following the RAS scoring chart then Bryce Ford-Wheton is still out there. Also Zack Kuntz as an extremely athletic TE. I wouldn't hate Ronnie Bell either as a high character pick and gives you special teams help.

I agree with this. In many of the mock drafts I did I had the Lions taking both of these players because I felt like they were excellent fits. I just had a 2nd round grade on them but that doesn't mean the rest of the NFL feels that way.

Ha, maybe. For me on these QBs it comes down to college systems and the talent that the players had around them in comparison to who they’re playing. Levis played in a conference where in half their games or more are playing against elite athletes that many time outmatched his teammates. Stroud and Young played in friendly systems where they had the better talent at every position then there opponents. They didn’t need to lead or to make their teammates around them better. Stroud limitations sounds like it could be the ability to process defenses. He didn’t have to do that in college. Youngs issues are his size for me. Richardson is time playing the position and inconsistent results. Levis to me is an accuracy and decision making. The last two guys could benefit in Detroit because we have the luxury of them riding the bench and being coached up for a year. I’ve never meet with any of them and have only watched a handful of games. I’d pass on taking all of them. But I’m not going to be to upset if one of them is our first pick either.

Levis is my favorite QB prospect in this draft now. As of today I have them ranked below and this was a recent change of order for me based on the recent test results. 1. Levis 2. Richardson 3. Young 4. Stroud

I am not against the Lions using the 6th pick to take a QB if they fall in love with the potential of one of the QBs. If it were me I’m rolling with Goff next year so if I’m taking QB I’m taking the one with highest ceiling and don’t worry about the bust potential. IMO my order would be 1a- Richardson 1b- Levis 2- Stroud 3- Young Young has the lowest ceiling imo and I don’t like short QBs. Stroud is the best QB to me but I believe him to be the most mentally soft. I also don’t like Alabama or OSU QBs as they had a silver spoon given to them all college. Richardson and Levis have size, arm strength and athletic ability. If you believe you can coach them up I think their ceiling is extremely high. If they bomb out you still had another 1st rounder in a deep draft in your position of need.

Not sure that's correct as it looks like you could slid up to 6 spots. At least if this site is correct in displaying the odds and playing with the calculator. https://www.tankathon.com/mlb/pick_odds

I am a fan of banning the shift. I actually believe it will help at bats move away from being two dimensional, strike out or home run. The shift allowed pitchers to pitch into the shift and limiting the ability to hit the other way. Yes it’s true that the best hitters still could do it but usually with less positive results. So what did hitters do, they changed their approach to just go with the pitch and change the launch angle and try to hit it as far as possible. Led to more swing and misses which also increases pitch counts for the pitchers. I believe that by banning the shift pitches will move back to using the whole plate and will put more balls into play. With that said the part of the rule I don’t like is that infielders can’t be in the grass. Where is that line and is it the same in every ball park? I don’t believe MLB should take away all of the tools a defense has to create good angles for themselves. just my opinion of course.

I dont see his bat speed as an issue. I think he is in his head a lot right now. This is a guy who has never struggled for long at any level. I believe he needs to get out of his head in the batters box as he looks indecisive which has not been an issue in the past. I don’t know if it’ll be later this year or next year but I believe his bat still has huge upside for us, even if he’s not had the start everyone was hoping that he would be right away.

Let's be honest injuries are part of the game but at this rate you have to start thinking that changes need to be made with our strength and conditioning staff and program.
