Detroit actually has a professional football team. They are called the Lions. Losing Suh was a hard blow, otherwise.....all the pieces are there. Veteran players with years of a experience with the team. Playoff appearances 2 out of the last 4 seasons. If the Pack didn't exist we would have some division titles.
Offensively, Stafford, Johnson, Tate, Ebron, Fauria. Ahmeer Johnson looks to be solid at RB. An improved offensive line, which isn't saying much but we've always had the worst. Statistically the Lions have been solid for a few years now. Stafford gets dogged on, yes poor decisions are made but damn, he can throw the ball and the best we've had in decades....and decades.
Defensively, one of the best last year. Suh leaving will hurt, but there is enough talent to make it up. Levy, Tulloch, Ansah, Slay. He may be old but Ngata can still play.
In the past avoiding embarrassment was the game plan. Now we can and need to win. It's another year to look forward to in D-Town!
I don't know, Stafford is no Scott Mitchell...
