Detroit Lions 2014: I Don't Believe in Sundays

Re: Detroit Lions 2014: I Don't Believe in Sundays

Scott Mitchell got fat and will now be on the Biggest Loser

The only thing I remember from Scott Mitchell's Lions career? Him attending a Halloween party dressed as Wayne Fontes. He had Herman Moore, Brett Perriman, and Johnnie Morton to throw to, plus Barry Sanders, and was a typical under-achieving Lions QB.

The Lions really haven't had a decent QB since Bobby Layne.

So... this team has partnered with Subway. Get 20 first downs in a game, we get free Subway. Oooooh.

And here's Deadspin's "Why Your Team Sucks: 2014 Detroit Lions" preview:

Keep in mind that Schwartz was fired mostly because the Lions are a talented but remarkably aimless team. For Lions games, referees use special penalty flags that shoot out very small additional penalty flags, like a roman candle for any time Ndamukong Suh decides to commit 60 personal fouls while holding. This team desperately needed a strong personality, and it's not like the job was unappealing. The Lions job came prefab with Megatron and Fat Stafford and everything. And yet, THIS was the best they could do. Even Ken Whisenhunt turned them down to go coach the Titans, and the Titans have a Pinto at quarterback. We are approaching Week 1 and the reality of Jim Caldwell as the Lions coach, and I really don't think you guys are emotionally prepared for it. How can you be? It's just gonna hit you like a brick.

At least with the Wings and their Arby's hat trick deal, there's a chance (between Datsyuk and Zetterberg) that could actually happen.

I don't think the Lions got 20 first downs in a game all last season.
 
Re: Detroit Lions 2014: I Don't Believe in Sundays

I'd be mighty, mighty tempted to keep this Wynn kid at RB and cut LeShoure.
 
Re: Detroit Lions 2014: I Don't Believe in Sundays

I'd keep them both, but Moore would be my #2 QB.
 
Re: Detroit Lions 2014: I Don't Believe in Sundays

Kris Durham was also cut; he was picked up by the Titans.

He will probably have 100 catches for 1000 yards now that he's out of Detroit.
 
Re: Detroit Lions 2014: I Don't Believe in Sundays

Two questions I have going into the opener tomorrow night:

How long do you think it will be before Suh lives up to his rep as "dirtiest player in the NFL" and gets suspended?

I know we're not expecting Super Bowl under Caldwell, but how long does he have to turn the team around and get into the playoffs?

Good news: we're ahead 14-7.

Bad news: 8 penalties so far in the first half, including a roughing the punter call, which helped lead to the Giants first score.

Giants guy blocked the guy into the punter. Naturally it was called.
