Actually it looks like the Browns were pretty dominant in the 50’s as well.

I remember a story Alex Karras gave about him having to be Bobby Layne's minder during his rookie season. He was supposed to keep Bobby Layne sober but wound up getting drunk and in fights along with him. He said when Bobby Layne said drink you drank

Well mad4vols any input on Detroit for
the pre season ?? If it goes like the past
it sounds like they are in tall cotton and
when the season rolls around its a bust.
Patricia says he will let Undlin run the
defense, remains to be seen.

Doesn't sound encouraging

The only way they can win is if they air it out and win shootouts IMO. And I don’t trust Patricia to do that.

He hasn't shown much as a coach
for sure.

We get to watch Matthew Stafford play football again what a blessed day

Just looked in depth at the schedule...and if they can’t win 8 games off that they will clean house

Five reasons the Lions make the playoffs this year:

1) Healthy Stafford plays 16 games and plays like an MVP

2) Potentially elite skill position core

3) Much improved secondary

4) Healthier front seven gives them average play

5) Easy ass schedule

Bonus: 7 NFC teams make the playoffs this year and Detroit’s offense is good enough to get them a wild card berth.

I mean this isn’t impossible to get to 10 wins

1) Split the divisional games and NFC South games (5 wins)

2) Go 3-1 against the AFC South

3) Beat Arizona and Washington

That’s 10 wins right there.

GO!! LIIIIIOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNSSSSSSS!!!!!!

 

[zjcvols]

Defense doesn’t look terrible to start. Wish they would stop this stupid run game

 

[zjcvols]

Big stop boys!
