• Is it fair to say that since they hit their peak in the NFC CG, the Lions have been replacing very good players with mediocre or ineffective players, leading to the mess we see now? - By UMdad September 17, 2026 at 09:35:49 PM
  • That was not their peak. They were better the following year going 15-2 - By Rich September 17, 2026 at 09:49:29 PM
    • Right. 15-2 despite tons of defensive injuries* - By brick September 17, 2026 at 09:53:03 PM
      • Lions lost most games in league to injury in 24 and were 2nd in 25* - By Rich September 17, 2026 at 09:56:11 PM
  • I don’t know that is unfair, but you can’t ignore the absurd injury (and other) luck that has plagued this team - By WestSideBlue September 17, 2026 at 09:40:48 PM
  • They also chose to (over) pay many of their best players, fuether hurting their depth - By Prominence14 September 17, 2026 at 09:39:36 PM

    • So crazy too because if you believe in your ability to identify talent and you actually are good at it, you should know nobody bats 1000 and you should want more lottery tickets. * - By BBA September 17, 2026 at 09:53:01 PM
