jim bob cooter in your pooter
Golladay was a mistake
DJ's fine, right?
Wasn't Golloday like really good in the preseason? wtf happened.
>>78183278
2nd team vs 1st
>>78183278
The regular season
>>78183278
>Liking preseason heroes
We used to make fun of packers fans for this
at least the lions defense looks somewhat competent
>>78183308
>>78183317
>>78183322
So you're telling me we SHOULDN'T cut Stafford and start Rudock?
>>78183278
>falling for the preseason meme
Preseason is basically glorified practice
Both teams look like shit. How is Palmer still playing?
wtf is d pickets?
>>78183339
Obviously not. Trade Stafford
>>78183400
Detroit slang for "the picks", as Palmer has thrown about 1000000 today.
>>78183400
Dee-fence.
>>78183466
Is that like "dee plane?"
>defensive battle
>involving my Lions
What timeline is this?
>>78183424
Kinda wish they would. He's not worth his salary and the team isn't winning with him. Detroit is languishing in a pre rebuild instead of actually rebuilding to win.
Every rookie gets three games to get their shit together so I'll cut Golloday a break today
SPEAR
A SPEAR FROM OUTTA NOWHERE
>>78183528
Has everyone forgotten 2014 already?
CANT MEDDLE THE ZETTEL
Solid return. And the defense is solid.
>>78183541
>Can't tell if sarcastic
Fucking Lions fans man

Fourth quarter Lions here we go
goddamn dipshit hit from the back
>>78183628
Ruddock is a competent backup and he has legs and he doesn't have a fuckhuge contract. i'd give him a shot
Booooooooo
>amber alert
wheyyyyy
Amber Alert interrupting my broadcast
>>78183541
This. If they were making a Suoer Biwl run, I'd get it. But they just gimped themselves long term to stay a .500 team. I know it is hard to replace a good qb, but if you invest in other areas you can compensate and win. Hell if they even had 1 or 2 playoff wins I'd agree with the deal.
>>78183590
It's mostly just a drunken haze mixed with blackouts every sunday
>>78183713
What? They won 11 games that season?
>>78183668
>>78183712
Sure is 97.1 in here.
Nice 4th quarter lead, Arizona.
It'd be a shame if someone made a comeback
>>78183796
>not posting it
>>78183770
Stafford has won 0 playoff games but he's the highest paid qb in the league right now. he was not worth a single fucking penny of that contract
>>78183712
Lions actually have more cap flexibility with the deal retard.
>>78183766
With some of the worst play calling on offense mixed with Rodgers having yet another MVP season
>>78183770
Sure is a shitty reply in here. I live in Scottsdale, btw.
>>78183850
The lack of playoff wins really can't be blamed on him tho
Thank God for Golden Tate
This offense is pure Stafford and Tate right now
>>78183874
Is it nice in Scottsdale today?
>>78183874
98.7
>having a 4th quarter lead while Stafford is breathing
Dare I say it, boys?
>>78183850
>>78183874
Wannabe meatball fans pls go
>>78183864
They gimped themself long term, retard. They will never be able to build the rest of their their roster up, retard. They had the same issue with Megatron and Suh, retard. Learn to read, retard.
Spaghetti Bowl 2017
>11 minutes left
>6 minutes more than any other game currently playing
>They all started at the same time
>>78183850
He has a higher career QB rating in the b playoffs than both Mannings, Roethlisberger, Luck, Favre, Newton and others. 53 men on a team. He played well enough to win 2 of the 3 playoff games.
>>78183894
It's not just playoff wins, Stafford has a terrible record against teams with winning records too, especially on the road
Imagine bitching about Stafford's contract while he puts together this drive right in front of us.
>>78183970
You're literally retarded. Cards fan. Stafford is great
>>78183955
>They had the same issue with Megatron and Suh
Good thing rookies are still getting bloated contracts
>>78184010
Now I know how the few rational Bears fans feel
Why do the Lions keep running the ball. They have no fucking o line for blocking
Shit throw! Not worth his contract! Trade him!
GOLLADAY CAUGHT A PASS
GOATADAY
FUCKING GOLLODAY ACTUALLY DOES SOMETHING HOLY SHIT
And Golloday earns redemption
WHAT A GOLLY GOLLADAY DAY
fucking cards
K E N N Y
>>78183955
not resigning a franchise QB is being retarded, yeah it would be nice if stafford wanted a "team friendly" contract, but QB's like stafford aren't in the draft every year
>>78184045
This. God damn. Let him practice running when it's not this close.
4TH QUARTER COMEBACK CONFIRMED. ITS HAPPENING LADS
>>78184022
Stafford sucks is a meme. Yes, there are clearly better qbs if we're talking Elite guys, but you can do so much worse than Stafford.
Without writing it out QB by QB hes probably in the 9-12 range on the power rankings.
Guess we should start Moore, I mean Ruddock :^)
We're the shittiest team in the league.
>>78184045
faith in abdullah the butcher
>>78184010
Imagine actually believing Stafford shouldn't be a Lion
who's laughing now
>>78184111
BASED KENNY G
>>78184132
Look at some of the godawful QBs being trotted out today. This is a fucking no-brainer.
Goliday Inn!
Is that now 3 failed 2 point conversion for the lions?
>>78184205
This might by better than Kenny G.
>>78184168
Notice how everyone else in your league drafted a RB or a WR first? There's a reason for that.
>>78184168
Kill yourself
>>78184232
2 I think
wew lad
>>78184191
Lions fans would literally rather have Tom Savage.
We haven't had a running back rush for 100yds in over 4 years and people want a new QB. Lmao. We'd literally show score 6pts a game with an average QB instead of Stafford.
>>78184250
thats def 3
>>78184232
2 failed conversions and one missed extra point.
>>78184120
It doesn't matter unless you have a chance to win. Not drafting and grooming a solid backup is a flaw, but by giving Stafford that money is just a guarantee that the Lions will stay somewhere bewteen mediocre to above average. It might be for the best, but they just locked themself in to being a 8-9 win team (at best) for the next five years. Unless they pull out some miracle drafts, but I have my doubts. Easier to build a solid team with an average qb and win than the opposite.
>>78183770
>>78184232
>fall behind on 2pt conversions so you keep doing them
You'd think they'd stop doing this once Bellicheat lost because of it
>>78184168
PPR League I assume? Stafford looks to be racking those up 27/39
When is the last time the Lions had a threatening run game? Not sure they ever have since I've followed them.
>>78184392
Barry sanders
>>78184392
Not since Barry retired, really.
>>78184350
Buddy they were one win away from the division with a bunch of injuries last year, what the fuck do you want.
>>78184392
1998
>>78184392
we usually have a solid one early in the season before every RB gets injured
>>78184392
2013.
Before that one year, 1998.
>>78184143
I'm not saying Abdullah is bad but there's no support for him with that line. Even Barry needed a decent line to block for him.
>>78184392
Sanders, but I think Bush was decent for 1 year though
Ahh is it dare I say? refball time?
>>78184486
Yeah, we need run blocking so badly
>>78184490
Bush and Bell was fucking lit for a year.
>>78184392
Bush and Bell were pretty good in 2014 but nothing worthwhile since Barry retired
>>78184448
They had a weak af schedule and 8 comeback wins in the 4th quarter. It would be hard to repeat that. They aren't winning the NFC North this year, or a playoff game, if they go. They were 4 or 5 plays away from being a 7 win team last year.
Oh my God, so many flags
Is Palmer ogre?
>being a fitzbabby
>>78184545
It was 2013. Haven't had a single player rush for 100 since Bush did it in week 10 of 2013.
>>78184637
I think Bush and Bell were both very good in 2014, but the thing is there was a lot of receiving there.
>Now that David Johnson is out, guess the only thing to do is throw to Fitzgerald
>Doesn't matter if he is in triple coverage, he has it right?
This is why the Cardilels will not win an owl.
>>78184637
Nah they were still good in 2014 but the run game took a backseat to passing.
>>78184727
Reminds me of a certain team with an elite WR once
>>78184762
Stafford got better when megatron was out though
How hilarious will it be if the running game puts it away
>>78184762
There was one GOAT catch Megatron made against the bungles for a td when he was triple covered. Ill never forget it.
Welp, lions can probably run out the clock
WELL
HOLY SHIT.
HOLY FUCKING STAFFORD DRAGON
>>78184849
>Betting on the Lions to do the right thing
Well then that happened
muh dick
GOATADAY
DRAGON
holy shit
HOLY FUCKING SHIT LOL
>>78184691
That seems about right. I seem to recall some crucial fumbles too. Running just feels so ineffective when the Lions do it.
damn son
holy shit golloday
GOLLADAY REALLY IS ELITE
ELITE. THIS IS WHY HES GOT THAT CONTRACT
What was that some of you faggots were saying about Golladay? Doesn't look like a preseason meme to me.
Anti-staff fags BTFO
GALLLLLOOOOOOOOOWAAAAAYYYY
remember when in the beginning, we were saying the lions would lose?
goddamn that catch was amazing
the quinn dynasty has begun
A-are we finally gonna beat the Cards for once in this century?
>>78184972

>not getting cocky when you cant lose
>>78184998
I stand by what I said
>>78184979
Not until that o-line is fixed up bro but this is the first time where the rebuild actually feels legit
Goliday Inn!
I TOLD YOU HE WAS ELITE
>>78184972
its justified every time
>>78184998
Not one of them but Golladay did drop three passes this game. He really should have had a bigger day than he has. Maybe it was his nerves though.
>>78183842
>>78184111
I FUCKING LOVE THIS TEAM
>>78185031

>cant lose
Until its literally impossible, Lions can always lose.
No playoffs. Tank the fucking season.

my god
is the loins defense elite?
LMAOLOLOL FUCK YOU CARDS
HAHAHAHA HOLY SHIT
>the meth infested desert of Arizona
FIRE BRUCE ARIANS!
That was a quick turnaround
is this even real anymore?
Well this isn't how I expected this game to go.
HAHAHAHAHA.
IT NEVER ENDS
>Retardinals
Good heavens
holy shit the cardinals are fucking terrible
HOLY SHIT THE LIONS ARE WINNING GAME FOR REAL!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
OH
MY
FUCKING
GOD
Can you really even blame that on Palmer? The ball bounced right to the guy.
What a shitshow
>Caldwell dragging him back to the sideline

The Party is on my friend
Another season of hypertension and anxiety up till the 4th quarter, who else is ready fellow Detroitfags?

What in the fuck lmao

>carson palmer
Wait, did cardicucks think they were going to be good?
>>78185122
inb4 more Lions defensive players wanting contract extensions with elite money...
>>78185185
I don't even care until the 4th quarter anymore.
Jesus fucking Christ, I believed in this squad. Fuuuuuck.
Golladay was my last-round sleeper fantasy pick...he's lighting up my bench and Stafford is killing it as my backup-turned-starter, god bless
>>78185185
My heart is not ready
...So Killebrew is white? Right?
>>78176561
Is he white?
>it was 17-9
Ahahahahahah
>>78185197
>flagged for tackling
Fuck off zebras Jesu.
Jarrad you can suplex guys anymore, this isn't college
>>78185122
Cards are a meme team, they've had the league behind them for some reason since they tried to get them to play the superbowl at home.
Defense does look solid though, but again I believe none of the Cards hype, they've been bailed out by the league for the last 4 years.
Refs barely did anything for them though and they completely fall apart, guess they're done trying to push them as the next big thing.
Also: GOLLADY
BRINGING IN THE SUPLEX ON NIGGAS

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT
Classless Lions fans....
>SU-PLEX CITY

yes ;-;
YOU EVER GO NIGHT NIGHT NIGGA
SUPLEX CITY
Church is right, we need to assassinate Palmer.
SUPLEX CITY BITCH
>>78185190
Literally nobody knows. He's been out since camp
>Losing to Detroit
Has Arizona's window closed?
>>78185305
do the Cardinals have fans?
>>78185421
About 2 years ago.
>>78185421
It was never open desu
>Cardinals were favorites on the road at 1pm
When will they take the Lions seriously?
I don't even get why the Cards were so hyped up this year. Their window was clearly closed after they lost in the NFCCG

kys
>>78185464
After an ass beating like that I'd be delusional too
>>78185484
We're never gonna change
This league sucks. I anticipate a flag every single positive play we make. Lessens the excitement of each play.
>>78185484
No, the second we start believing is the second they start losing.
We need to keep our pessimism, the pain is too great otherwise.
>>78185484
Make like Parappa, buddy.
Some faggot who clearly doesn't watch football on bleacher report has beeb shitting on the Lions secondary for months and it's going to be funny how long he tries to keep memeing that after today.
>>78185464
Me neither, probably because muh David Johnson and muh Arians
ICE COLLLL' BUUUHHH LIGH 'EREE!
>>78185540
or you could become vikequeens and collapse midseason

exactly. the hate fuels the team. when you call ameer abdullah a black smurf on twitter he takes that anger and puts it on the field.
>>78185535
>he doesn't like refball
Go watch niggerhoops or something.
>>78185567
>bleacher report
Found the mistake.
When is Palmer going to retire?
>>78185484
when we win the owl, the culture will change, or at the very least the NFC
>>78185628
Week 2, hopefully.
Fuck off Obama.
>>78185621
One of the few sports sites not blocked at work sadly. Probably due to irrelevance.
Too soon?
>That flag
literally what
>>78185667
Cardinals have to score three times to win and there's less than two minutes left, game is done
>throw flag for a ball that goes through his hands before the push
>>78185656
You sound frustrated
Awww yeah baby show me some of those garbage time points.
>>78185667
It's always too soon with the Lions playing
>>78185617
notice I said this league. CFB is way more watchable. NFL still the goat sport league but that's just because football is the GOAT
>>78185709
SOL
>>78185709
2 picks is enough
Hopefully a Stafford endzone shot in these garbage time scoring, onside kicking faggots.
jesus christ lions fix this atrocious special teams.
>>78185823
Lions may have a shitty running game but it's enough to run out the clock
What's Fauria up to now?
Caldwell has a little bit of Belicheck in him WTF did he eat him?
>>78185749
CFB sucks outside of the big name matchups. Watching blowouts gets boring and that's like half a team's schedule
>>78185882
last i heard he was on the pats
>>78185882
He's not doing anything, which bums me out.
>>78185889
its cum
LIONS WIIIIIIIIIIIN
gg cardbros
>>78185891
There's over 60 games a week. You get just as many good games as the typical NFL week
>Lions actually beat a team instead of some flucky last minute comeback
>tfw undefeated
anybody get that ford commercial with the thigh gap on that shortstack broad
Gotta work on that OL and LB, but solid game.
gg wp.
>>78186015
That's gonna go down as a 4th quarter comeback, is the silly part.
>>78185901
>>78185934
That Stafford's on the chasing twins around diet comment reminded me of him. Didn't he injure himself chasing his dog down the stairs or something? What a way to go. Liked that guy.
Honestly surprised >we won this one
>>78185990
But most of those are games I couldn't care less about
>>78185963
GG. I knew the Lions were real. I just thought my Cardinals were real too. And I keep thinking it. And then I keep getting proved wrong.
4th year in a row our 2nd cornerback spot is our weakness.
Come the fuck on Keim, do your job and quick thinking these fucking manlets like Bethel and Willaims are gonna do well
FUCK
last thread post so nobody will notice im a trap and suck dick
>>78186181
What if we just clone Patrick Peterson
>>78186077
That's just because you're not a big cfb fan. It's okay. I care about most NFL games as a Lions fan and a lot of college football games as a Michigan fan and enjoy watching just a shit ton of the others as a football fan in general.
I wouldn't even say I like college football more than the NFL but the product itself is more watchable as fan of both in my opinion because there's not a flag every 3 plays.
>lions ruin their 0-16 hopes in the first game
Welp, got my Sundays back.
