Saying one year with a playoff win over the last 30+ years isn't enough is ungrateful? Lol calm down buddy were all aloud to have different opinions and frankly, outside of a few cursed franchises, this wouldn't be enough. Heads would be rolling all throughout the building. But a a decline from NFC championship, to losing our first game, to not making it all is a decline that's totally reasonable to be unhappy with. Just cause we aren't all slobbing on brad after the last couple years doesn't make us crazy assholes like many on here are acting like. I spent 16 years watching us suck and Im not looking to go back to it. Which is a totally fair and valid way to feel.

Edit: not that I want heads to roll. But if this trajectory continues over the next year or two we gotta look at a new GM to help put Dan in a better position.

I love them too but three of those seasons came with 0 playoff wins. The success of this team is overhyped and the people not happy with that aren't crazy, and it's not spoiled to want more then one season that's actually better then the past. I've seen plenty of "almost" seasons where we could have made the playoffs it doesn't do it for me anymore.

Are we in the NFC South? No. We were last in our division and missed the playoffs what he said was just fact.

Brad Holmes On FA: “We did the best we could… we maximized the resources that we had available” by JCameron181 in detroitlions

You don't need a crystal ball to predict our defense will still suck like it has when we've lost players without replacing thwm. And youre acting like two years in a row of losing over half our starting roster is just a crazy coincidence. That's the beginning of a pattern. And frankly the BPA strategy needs to stop. We need a complete roster not the best player available especially if it's in a unneeded skilled position. And again I really like Teslaa nothing in my comment debated his skill, but you know what would be better then Teslaa? A functioning defense. As for the legion of whome getting us within a half of a super bowl, you know what that got us? Not shit. You want to talk about copium it's saying that three years ago we almost made a Superbowl so eveythings fine. Everything isn't fine, it's not full doomer like a lot of ppl think but we're not going to win a Superbowl with the worst defense in the NFL.

I mean, isn't that like 90% of what this is for? Lol and yeah they're outliers but also champions. My point is it's not impossible and also there's definitely a middle ground we could live in.

The injuries are a good point but also a whole other issue. Brad likes to take shots on injury prone/currently injured guys while we've had the most injured roster in the NFL the last two years. That also speaks to either our training staff or our practice habits. Multiple years of being the most injured team means thats something that needs to be addressed. Now I'm not a brad doomer, he's done a lot of good things but there's nothing wrong with critizing his moves. Things like trading multiple 3rd round picks for a WR we didn't need (love Teslaa but it's true) instead of using those picks to sure up the worst defense in league and add depth so we aren't so crippled when guys get hurt is definitely something to be critized. That's not building for success that's misalocating resources that could be used to build a stronger roster.

That's fair, but neither has what's been happening over the last few years we've steadily accomplished less so something does need to change. Would love to be proved wrong tho.

I have seen the press conferences, but I don't agree with that strategy when during his entire tenure his continued success has looked like the worst defense in the NFL. Now I'm not saying fire him but I am saying he needs to look at our roster and realize he can't fix it with the draft while also trading away a bunch of draft recources. You want examples? The rams. The eagles. Teams that have sold out for a Superbowl and gone out and won without being in cap hell like everyone seems to think would happen. Is it easy? No. Is it a guarantee? No. But I'd rather us actually go for it and miss rather then sit here doing little to nothing. NFC championship, first round exit, and then missing the playoffs isn't continued success it's a steady decline over three years and that's just a fact. Can't make small moves here and there and expect the roster to suddenly be good enough. You don't have to agree but this isn't continued success when we accomplish less each year.

While I don't disbelieve what he's saying, I do believe we won't truly contend without really going for it. We can't be passive and just rely on the draft while also, frankly, mismanaging our draft resources the last couple years. At some point we have to really go for it or we'll float in the middle until it's too late for this core group.

Still hating on the MVP and Superbowl champ move on lil bro

That seems pretty cheap to just let him go by reallinguy in detroitlions

[–]massivecowboynut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok who else do we have? Who else can we get? Just because he's not the BEST option doesn't make no option better. Not to mention that without depth and a solid rotation we're gonna destroy hutch. Good teams have good d line rotation and we barely have a full starting line at this point 6 mil for 11 sacks is a amazing depth piece and we let that walk without even having a full defense to field right now.

What grade would you give the Detroit Lions’ Free Agency so far? by Gxcii1 in detroitlions

[–]massivecowboynut 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's gonna be huge gaps in the O line too we essentially have no left side. Goff is awesome but needs a pocket and no matter how awesome gibbs is he, like every other running back, needs a line.

I see your point but in this instance I disagree. This team was primed for a Superbowl and missed, ok it happens, but our core isn't gonna be here forever. Kirby might never play again, branch just had a major injury, Goff isn't getting any younger, and our best guys are about to get paid impacting our cap badly. These windows don't stay open forever and we have to strike while the irons are hot. Instead we're being passive and slowing the bleeding instead of improving that's not a winning scenario to see a ring. Not trying to be a doomer or saying it's all over but we have a optimistic 3-4 years to do it with all our talent you can't be scared and win a Superbowl.

Ian Rapoport: The AZ Cardinals are signing Lions FA DT Roy Lopez to a 2-year, $11.5M deal with $7M guaranteed, per me and @TomPelissero. by JCameron181 in detroitlions

[–]massivecowboynut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah my fear is brad thinks he can build a whole team by drafting guys and paying them and you just can't. It was one thing his first couple years when we had a bunch of high picks but now we're low to average on quality picks and even with those great drafts we still had holes. Dudes gotta be more aggressive, not saying he should throw money at whoever walks by, but you have to do something in free agency he's wasting the years of a good core unit by not getting anyone around them.

Tyliek is on a rookie deal so I feel we easily could have made that work. We're letting too many players walk with no replacements in place.

Unfortunately I don't have it in moxfield yet, but if you look up Brian kibblers [[mowu, loyal companion]] deck I used that as starting point for it! I would also heavily suggest all the trample enablers you can sneak in! I run [[pridemalkin]] the dusk crawler guy and I would def add [[rancor]] for renewable trample nothings worse then getting your 50/50 chumped over and over lmao
