2024-2025 Season Studs n Duds

Agree.

If Stafford had been on a team like the Patriots in his early days, he would be wearing multiple SB rings. I only really got to seem him play VS the Packers and maybe a Thanksgiving Game or 8, and he always seemed to be a really good QB with Detroit. However, even a FHOF QB like Stafford can't make good wine out of moldy grapes.

I actually was happy to seem him traded out of the NFC North, but Goth is no slouch either. The trade ended up being a great thing for both players. Giving each guy a new start to their careers, that seemed to have been going downhill with the teams that originally had drafted them at #1. I think the Lions ended up on the positive end and its possible what kick started their climb to the top.

• QB Jared Goff
• CB Ifeatu Melifonwu (2021 third-round pick)
• WR Jameson Williams (2022 first-round pick)
• DL Josh Paschal (2022 second-round pick)
• RB Jahmyr Gibbs (2023 first-round pick)
• TE Sam LaPorta (2023 second-round pick)
• DT Brodric Martin (2023 third-round pick)

Rams received:

• QB Matthew Stafford

Yes, the Lions got a great deal. Think of all those years and all the decades. At least the Vikings made it to 4 SBs. They actually show 1950s videos on You Tube of the Lions with Bobby Layne at QB to get Lions fans in the mood for a title.

If the Lions win a SB they will have for sure won the trade…until that happens though, I feel a wash at best is all one could say for the trade - Rams got a SB

Sorry this is off topic, but I can't find a good place to put it, I don't want to start a new thread just to make one comment. This is a bit of a rant: I was watching the Chiefs beat the Texans, and they kept talking about how they're on a quest to win three straight Super Bowls. And they keep saying this has never been done. And that is true.

But you will never, ever hear anyone say that the Packers have won three straight NFL championships (twice). Because that was before the Super Bowl era, so as far as anyone else is concerned, that era doesn't exist. Actually, the first two Super Bowls were part of the last threepeat, because the Packers won the year before Super Bowl I. Then they won Super Bowls I and II. Anyway, that just irritates me.

I couldn’t think of anything other than that KC game made me truly think there is absolutely a rigged factor (maybe not entirely) in the league. There were some INSANELY bad blown calls and OF COURSE ALL WENT KC WAY.

Roger Goodell himself should have called into the game and had the back up refs (I know a certain number are at each game) ran out and kicked the others off. It was insane

Studs - I hated to see Jones go to Minn. but gaaawwd is Jacobs a beast; Kraft; McKinney; Cooper.

Duds - Van Ness looks like a bust; anybody in the secondary not named McKinney or Williams. And as much as it pains me to say it because I love him, Watson; I’m not one to hate on injury plagued players, it’s not their fault, but the bottom line is the best ability is availability, and sadly, he ain’t got it…..

I don't watch alot of full KC games, but it was amazing how adept Mahomes was into baiting personal foul calls. The one scramble where he dropped late and the 2 Texans dove over the top shouldn't have been a PF call. Luckily that one wasn't called a PF where he slowed down right before OOB then flopped hard. Even Aikman was apoplectic about that one. Then you see Daniels got thrown down a good 5 yards OOB...

Tonight the Lions are being helped a lot by that 12th man zebra player

What? If Goff had a Mahomes jersey on that hit to the head the , not only would the flag had been thrown - the Commanders player would have gotten ejecting.

Public execution on the 50 yard line probably.

Goff, Darnold and Love all had pitiful games for the NFC North teams. That's hard to overcome. The pick 6 that Goff threw was hard to overcome, especially with their defense getting shredded.

I'm just hoping the JARED GOFF.... JARED GOFF... chants are finally over with at every Detroit sporting event. After 3 Interceptions tonight, they may just start chanting JARED S****....JARED S****....
