I need to change the intro to my blog. I can’t dedicate it to the weekly progress of the Detroit Lions, when they continue to regress. Last Sunday the Lions missed the opportunity to pass the biggest loser torch to the St. Louis Rams. But the Rams refused it and ended their 17 game losing streak at Ford Field.
The things that hurt the Lions the most last Sunday was not having Calvin Johnson, and dropped passes. The Lions receivers were treating the football like it was a hot potato. Drive killing dropped passes are just not acceptable on Sundays.
This game proved that the Lions still have a lot of holes to patch. Even after years of high draft picks, they still don’t have an offensive line, defensive line, running game, passing game, etc.
The Lions are set on building around Stafford and Johnson. So much that they started the building process 19 picks after Stafford was drafted. Rookie TE Brandon Pettigrew has to start playing like the 20th pick in the draft.
Stafford is begging for another target. He even gave someone in the seats a chance to catch a ball on Sunday. I have a feeling that if the Lions are looking in the stands they'll continue looking in the draft.

No Calvin.
ReplyDeleteAs for drafting a receiver, that's out of the question. If they don't beef up that offensive line this year in the draft that'll be inexcusable. They can get a decent no. 2 wideout through free agency.
ReplyDeleteBryant Johnston is not a decent no. 2. And no respected free agents will come to the Lions. I agree with addressing the lines on both sides of the ball.Stafford needs more time to throw, but he also needs someone else to throw to. Hopefully they find a late round gem at WR.
ReplyDeletegood blog. caputo's class is great. and if you go back to the 1960's, you'll see the Lions have had a top 11 draft pick about once every three years. i researched that stat when they took stafford this year. pathetic.
ReplyDeleteDude that is pathetic. But i really like this years rookie class. Lions finally got some players in the late rounds that can play. I like Levy, and Aaron Brown.
