OT: Michigan Sports Talk Part VII: NFC North Kings

[WingedWheel1987]

I'm expecting Minnesota to destroy Detroit on Thursday. Lions look mediocre at best.

Caldwell should be fired, but he won't cause...SOL.

If Detroit can't win the division when their opponents are trotting out Brett Hundley, Case Keenum, and Mitchell Trubisky, you have a team with an incredibly low ceiling.

Their front 7 has been trash since 2015 and they're making no attempt to fix it, just like Holland refusing to fix our back end

Secondary is good but when you generate 0 pressure on the QB there's only so much they can do

Also caldwells inability to fix the run game is embarrassing. Stafford has the least run support in NFL history.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

We are going to waste the primes of Sanders, Johnson and Stafford. This is just horrendous.

I think we have some talent, but we have the worst head coach in the league. Of course Martha likes him but that is the problem. I don't think the Vikings are that good, we should have been able to pull that out but looked utterly unprepared in so many ways today. I will be overjoyed when Caldwell is gone, the guy is a nincompoop.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

Vikings gave Detroit a free 7 points and they still couldn't pull it out. That field goal flag was such a Lions play, too.

I don’t know why you had so much faith in them. They’re the lions. I expect them to win most of these last few remaining games though. Lions are bad but we all know they never lose too much. They like to go 7-9 8-8 if they don’t squeak in

I know they are the Lions, I thought the division was open for the taking. I don't think they were prepared to play yesterday.

We know the song and dance, deep down I know they will find a way to screw it up. Heck with Caldwell that is easy to feel is about to happen, their ability to adjust is atrocious. He just gets bailed out all the time by Stafford.

 

[TheMule93]

Stafford was off, even before that ankle injury. Needed a better game from him. Defense laid down in the first half but had a hell of a game in the 2nd

 

[FireBird71]

Lions are going to have 40-50 mil in a Cap space for next season and I'd thewol no less no and hard about not offering Ansah a Contract

 

[Datsyukian Deke]

Speight is transferring, good riddance!

 

[chances14]

it would be the lions luck they finish 10-6 and still miss the playoffs

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Speight is transferring, good riddance!

Hopefully he isn’t that weak mentally and it means peters or mccaffrey is legit

 

[TheMule93]

If you think wings attendance is and, you should see pistons games

 

[Konnan511]

Pistons have the second LOWEST attendance in the NBA. The Pistons have the second BEST record in the East.

Uhh where are you getting your numbers?

Also a lot of there problems are higher prices. Unless a lot of people on the internet are wrong from what I’m seeing

 

[Ezekial]

2017-2018 NBA Attendance - National Basketball Association - ESPN

They are second to last in terms of % of seats filled.



Bulls are unwatchable and have the best attendance (by number of attendees)

Is that a problem though? High ticket prices (could be wrong) is likely the reason. And it says they still average more then some teams

They are actually improved from last year apparentaly

 

[Bondurant]

How does Pistons attendance compare to The Palace? Teams should evaluate prices. It's not wise to come to the public trough to build an arena and then raise prices. Especially when the benefactors of the money grab could have built the stadium privately with no qualms.

The Silverdome couldn't even implode correctly....

Partial implosion fails to bring down Silverdome

 

[mouser]

The Silverdome couldn't even implode correctly....

Partial implosion fails to bring down Silverdome

An ironically predictable result.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

The Silverdome couldn't even implode correctly....

Partial implosion fails to bring down Silverdome

That is so fitting as the former home of the Lions.

The Lions curse lives on!

 

[WingedWheel1987]

Lions implode, Wings implode, but the Silverdome doesn't.

 

[Bondurant]

Lions implode, Wings implode, but the Silverdome doesn't.

Bring back Bowman and Fontes.

 

[Reality Check]

I've said this before on here but I've seen far too much success with other sports teams(professional and college) in this town to get down on the Lions.

If anything, it's comforting.

 

[TJ71]

Caldwell should be fired. Today. Back to back weeks with not having enough players on defense on 4th down play? Pathetic.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Lol 40+ points on one of the worst offenses in the league

Please take Austin as a coach
