Lions draft grades

Yes they were. If not for kicking they have a 12-4 record, just like GB/Seattle.

You're right. You're so right. Detroit just got messed with the kicking..if only other teams would get messed up with the kicking..

Lions beat Buffalo and had kicking issues that hurt us in Carolina. It was resolved by Prater.

11-5 and 12-4, Lions were good enough to get home field. Yet you choose to ignore it.
 
If they were good enough they would have got it. They were good enough to win the SB. Man, we got shafted. Dumb kicker.

11-5 is one game from Home Field Advantage. Shut it.

11-5 is one game from needing to rely on a tie breaker to make the playoffs too. Good thing we got that extra try for the field goal against Atlanta. Prater needed it.

Isn't kicking part of the game? Oh yeah...Mayhew drafted a kicker last year. How did that turn out? I seem to remember you saying that the 2014 team was holeless too!

Freese had his confidence shattered but had talent. Prater quickly resovled that once available.

11-5. We were good enough for home field advantage. End of story.
 
I was good enough to play 2B at the ML level. Damn confidence..if I would have hit better than .240 in HS I would have had my chance.
 
So much talent that no one else picked him up after we released him and is still a free agent..
 
What is better the May of 2014 Detroit Lions offensive line or the May of 2015 Offensive line?

Both are predicted to do incredibly well and are positioned to be one of the top 5 best O-lines in the game. I can't imagine either prediction being nothing but 100% true.

There is no way either gets injured, or doesn't perform to their peak potential.
 
It takes a lot of talent, and effort, to miss some of the kicks Freese missed for us.

If only he had that much talent when trying to MAKE those kicks.

He wasn't as bad an Henery though, who literally cost us the Buffalo game, which cost us the division, which costs us a bye in the playoffs..... fuck Alex Henery.

Take away Rodgers choke job against Buffalo late and we still finish 2nd. It all works out.

Our damned kicker went 0-3. ZERO FOR THREE!

Don't tell me about choke jobs.. that's an epic choke job.

39 rating for future hall of fame..choke=choke.

Maybe the defense choked in the 4th quarter..other teams got screwed by the refs or injuries.

The Bills had Rodgers number. They had nothing to do with those missed FGs.

The rush. Maybe the work of Crayola, the holder.

Or we could blame Mayhew even himself said it was a mistake..
