copp hurt, larkin hurt, who's next?

you watch, the wings will miss the playoffs and THIS WILL BE THE YEAR THEY WIN THE LOTTERY.

NO ONE IN THE EAST EVER LOSES (except the leafs).

they dont draft for need except those times that the bpa lined up with needs....how ridiculous does that sound? it just HAPPENED to line up with need the last two years. oh ok.

i agree. that's why i hated the deadline. they did nothing when they have their best shot at the finals in 15 years. assuming that "because the core is young" means they will be this good every year is fool's gold. theyre about to be capped out but refused to make their move for a robin to cade's batman, all because duren "catches lobs real good." as you point out, the lions were built to win for 5 years, dont worry about losing that nfc championship game, theyre so young! and then the next year the entire defense is injured, and two years later you finish last in the division. progress isnt always linear. teams dont always get better. the league only bails out the spurs and idiots only hand star players to the lakers, not detroit. i get that ivey was an albatross and not an asset, but was heurter really the BEST you could do? you couldnt have thrown a couple seconds in with ivey to get dosunmu? or even coby white? as flawed as they are they would be more productive than heurter. anyway, rant over. trajan really missed, imo. i hope it doesnt cost them this year. and as far as matching up against the knicks, i wouldnt assume they could beat miami or charlotte right now. they should, but that assumes ausar is healthy.

yes

They draft for need all the time. they talk **** about bpa and turn around and draft corner and dt, both were positions of need. they will draft a left tackle unless they sign another free agent. and then they still might. if they do, its bye bye manu.

its going to be really funny when we pick before the twolves.

so if the pistons flop at the finish and end up 4th in the east, will we all still be mad even though that's where we thought they'd be before the season started, and they did nothing at the deadline? i will never not be salty that trajan sat on his ass and did nothing to really help the team. although now that tatum is back they probably werent going to win it anyway.

Its a great tackle class and the lions are going to draft one in the first round.

still early, but definitely an overall talent downgrade so far.

you dont build a team on free agents. the best thing the raiders did this offseason was deal crosby for two first round picks. that should be the foundation of your team moving forward.

i'd take either of them over jeff okudah.

That's just as bad as certain posters who shall remain nameless who wanted jeff okudah over justin herbert because the lions had a qb. i guess that's why i'm not an nfl gm....

remember when certain posters who ruin every game thread was adamant that the lions screwed the franchise by drafting sewell over justin fields? 🤔

wait until all the ridiculous contracts are signed and then get some bargains. sign youth, not aged nfl vets. i'd be fine letting decker and reader both walk. too old. anzalone was right on the cusp of decline. he'll be fine this year and likely injured/bad after that. its the way of the nfl. a hard sport with short shelf lives.

they did it because theyre the falcons. theyre a bad organization. signing a guy who is one tap on the head from being out of the league, and who isnt that good even when/if he's healthy.

we have a qb whose strength is smarts, timing and accuracy, why the hell would we sign someone who is dumb, slow, and inaccurate? because he runs a 4.3 40? fields will be too expensive for the lions. they usually do a cheap alternative at backup qb. but ya never know.

you get a point! you get a point! everyone gets a point!

6th or 7th round pick.

well, its just pre-season. the tigers shouldnt be too concerned...

he's been good so far. keep him here.

or we could package our 4th, 5th, and next year's 3rd and 4th to move up in round 3 to take that fullback from middle tennessee state a&m...

im not little brother? michigan had "100s" of free throws? complaining about may starting in on fears being a dirty player while nobody looks at what michigan players do or say? tom was at his best this week and especially after the game. you know who acts like a little baby bitch after losing? A little brother.

petty tom izzo is the best tom izzo.
