Fire Mayhew

Posted after we took Ebron. Mayhew was gone 18 months later

So Irv Smith Jr is just as good as Hockenson and is available in the second round. We good have gotten a stud defender.

Then we took a guy who I have never heard of in the second round over the plethora of CB’s available that we need.

Bob Quinn not gonna be here in April 2020.

Could have had Devin Bush and Irv Smith Jr but that would require having an IQ above 70

So I really liked our draft in rounds 3-7. Harris can be a really good third safety, Bryant will be a nice pass fishing specialist. Oruwariye is a future starter IMO. Fulgham is an NFL athlete that produced last year. Ty Johnson is a Theo Reddick replacement that can return kicks. I like Nauta even if he tested poorly. I think all of those guys can be players at the NFL level.

Oh and adding Beau Benzschawel as an UDFA was a really good signing. I bet he makes the team.

There is a bunch to be excited about, the offensive line really needs to step up to give Stafford a chance. Hoping we can make the playoffs.

So what do you all expect for 2019?
Are our Lions going to finish with a winning or losing record or 8-8?
Will we get our 2nd playoff win in 62 years?

Oh brother
What happened to your excitement from back in June?

Preseason. The lack of hype from the media. The fact the north has three solid teams. And a brutal schedule

All very good and valid points.
The only solace is when we went 4-0 preseason in 08 we ended up 0-16 so maybe going 0-4 isn’t such a bad thing

At least you have your Braves, they have been a fun ball club to watch this year.

As a lions fan I’m not sure if I should laugh or cry...

Hell yeah we want him back, when the idiots in your front office let him go his agent will already have a contract in hand.
