2017 Lions football thread

I wasn't impressed with any aspect of the Lions today. Perhaps most maddening for me personally is that Stafford continues to throw to Ebron

Wasn't a great game. Panthers look good too. Newton is a cunt but he's a monster.

Ebron is brutal at this point. Fells made a couple nice plays and didn't give up 4 on a endzone drop during a game you lose by 3. Give the work to Fells.
 
News article May 7, 2017.......... The Detroit Lions announced Tuesday that they have picked up the fifth-year option on tight end Eric Ebron's contract.

Per SI.com, Ebron will earn $5.194 million in 2018.

They can still cut him without owing him anything. It is only guaranteed if he is on the roster at a certain date.

Ebron blamed the end zone drop on linebacker Shaq Thompson saying "He should have intercepted that, it went right through his hands."

Oh the irony.

Def is elite as fuck....

And Statford was amazing after the Saints were up by a gazillion and probably stopped paying attention.

But I'm sure I'm wrong and Statford really wasn't that bad....lol.

" but he's injured, give the guy a break, he's so tough and heroic"......who's the backup again?

And this is why I don’t drink the koolaid. I see the Lions and Stafford are back to midseason form. Even with Rodgers out, I’m sure they’ll find a way to squander this opportunity.
 
As ugly as that was, I watched it until almost the end (on fast forward on the DVR). When you have been a lions fan as long as an old guy like me, it is just nice to have them be competitive. I never thought they were out of it until they punted down 14 with 4 minutes left or something.

That’s it? Where’s all the Stafford stats that you usually post up? Or do his glorious stats only count when it fits your narrative?

Nah, I'm objective... Stafford's play this season has been below my personal expectations (I'm sure he's very concerned about that). There are issues with personnel and play calling that I don't like. The offensive line play has been terrible, Ebron is a liability, I want more Theo Riddick on screens etc (other than when it's painfully obvious and the defense is keying in on it)... but Stafford needs to step it up too. The difference is, I am confident that he will.

The fact is, in two weeks when Decker and Lang are back, and with Aaron Rodgers out for the season (likely)... the Lions have 2 weeks to get their shit together and put together a run
