The whole thing with Stafford is I just wonder what would have happened if, like Stafford, Barry Sanders went to the front office and asked to be traded instead of retiring. He would probably be the all time leader in rushing and our team might have done better surviving losing him.

Seeing Darius Slay making big plays on MNF and I miss him. But by trading him, and I think a 5th and 6th round pick, we ended up with Jonah Jackson and Quintez Cephus which seems a pretty good deal to me.

Damn we could not find a trade partner for Collins and just cut him. I was hoping for at least a 6th round pick.

DETROIT LIONS: FINDING VERY CREATIVE WAYS TO LOSE GAMES SINCE 1957!!!
I mean, did any of us Lions fans doubt that Tucker's record-breaking kick was going in? I sure didn't, especially since his 35-yard chip shot missed earlier in the game. Plus, I remember MNF in 2013 when he made 6 field goals against us. We are cursed!!! However, watching Stafford world-beat has been awesome! Gotta take the good with the bad! RAM/ROAR!!!

Swarm Jr. skool team won 38-0 yesterday on the road playing right on the Canadian border. 5 on 5 NFFL ball today at 3. Can’t wait! Hoping for Coach Campbell’s first NFL W today to compete the big weekend sweep after MI beat Wisky on the road yesterday too.
GO Jr. Browns!
GO LIONS!

Rob Kraft just said about Tom Brady winning the SB w Tampa “If we can’t win it I was happy he won it.” What a boss. I wish I could feel that way about Stafford in LA.

Man Goff is getting worse as the season goes on. After first couple weeks I thought we could win with him and did not need to draft a QB in this years draft but I am starting to rethink that.

Didn’t get a chance to watch today as Swarm Jr. had a 2pm practice/3pm kick off (24-13 W) but no surprise hearing Fields had his first great game in the NFL today. Seen that one many times before.
I like our staff. I hope our GM gets them some players.

Obviously the INT that just bounced off of him and right into the hands of DT happened. It’s the Lions. I’m more surprised when that kind of stuff doesn’t happen.

Positive thoughts. We have a really good, young O-line with the important pieces locked up for next few years plus we have one coming back soon from injury. We have a top 5 TE. We have a couple solid backs. If Swift can get his groin healed we will really see what he can do. Goff MIGHT still be good. Hard to tell with not much at WR but what we do have is two young guys that have upside. Get a stud WR to loosen up the D and those two guys plus TJ will really start to shine. We have a young Pro Bowl P and a decent PK. Our D has some nice young pieces but need some help. Having Trey out the last two games has not helped. The off season will be focused on D and WR. Also MAYBE a QB. With two 1st round picks the next two years and FA we should be able to improve this team to playoff level next year or 2023 at the worst.
