There's no reason even have a message board if we can only discuss how teams are after the fact. Why would I give a shyt if anyone agrees with me about how good the Lions are? I've seen every game the Lions have played that aired on tv since I've been able to watch tv, my gym is literally down the street from the Lions facility. I've seen the growth, and I know it's the best Lions team in all of our lifetimes.
Stafford is 27 years old and entering the prime age for good QBs, and is now in year 2 of Lombardi's system. Fact?
Ameer Abdullah is capable of doing everything Reggie Bush did for us at a higher level due to having a fraction of the wear and tear and a north/south run style conducive to the offense. Fact?
Calvin Johnson is 100% and had the best camp in years. Fact?
Two starting offensive linemen from last year are now retired due to ineffectiveness, adding a center/guard that started in the super bowl 2 years ago, and drafting Larry Warford's relative clone in round 1. Fact?
Eric Ebron has every physical tool of a successful TE that you can't teach, while making progress in the areas in which you can. Fact?
Haloti Ngata takes double teams in the very same manner as Suh did and has been more adept in run stoppage. Fact?
In the past 5 years the Lions have done a better job than anyone else in terms of "finding" defensive linemen to come in and produce (Willie Young, Cliff Avril, George Johnson, etc) which fares kinda well for Caraun Reid and Tyrunn Walker fact?
The Lions lose nothing from the back 7 which was either the best in the NFL last season or second to Seattle's independent of Suh's "havoc". (We know it's independent of Suh's havoc as we've given up 626 yards in a playoff game with the very same Suh) We've even set ourselves up with protective measures for Mathis and Tulloch being washed with ready made replacements. Fact?
There's somethings you'll be able to teach and chastise me about, you can't teach me about anything Lions or Detroit in general. Enjoy the great season and stop being a hoe.
. Jordy needs ARod waaaaaaaay more than ARod needs him, just ask Jones and Jennings. A lot of receivers can put up numbers in the right system with the right QB but there are a select few that are actual game changers and Jordy ain't one of em. You give a QB like Rodgers guys that are at least serviceable and you will be fine.
