Didn't he whine about the Lions last year as well?

1. Bridgewater is the clear #1. He has no other NFL prospects on his team and doesn't panic under pressure. He can run, but is more likely to do it to evade a pass rush and still throw the ball down the field. This guy looks like a real star in the making.

2. Mariotta is #2. However, I see him as a less talented RG3. I think he is more of a product of the system than being amazingly talented. He might be the most talented of Oregon QBs in this system but that isn't saying much when you look at the NFL track record.

3. Derek Carr will probably go before Manziel due to Manziel being an egotistical moron. Unfortunately, he reminds me a lot of his brother. I've only seen him play 2x though so I can't really be hard on him. Throws off his back foot and takes a ton of hits just like his bro.

4. Manziel is the real wild card. If he ends up being drafted by the right coach he could be better than all of them. He also has the biggest bust potential. If I am

5. Tajh Boyd might be better at another position.

If I am an NFL team I only take Bridgewater or Manziel in the 1st round. Manziel only if I have a hard ass coach. Manziel will roll over a "players coach".

Its hardly whining...he is just stating facts about the way some Lions players have played the game in the past. Its undeniable that they are a dirty bunch at times and as such they will be pointed out for it.

I have a hard time believing that all the players on the Lions team take cheap shots at guys or that 99% the Lions defense is doing anything different from other players. It is very deniable that they are a dirty bunch.

I guess better to try and focus on whinning about the Lions being dirty than concerns about whether Rogers can/will go.

Who ever said that? He was talking about the dlinemen and the coach.

I guess you can deny it...doesnt make it untrue however.

Again, its not whining when he was answering a question and the answer is true.

Rogers isnt going thats been known for days....so no excuses for the Lions not to win easily.

Thanksgiving!

Saw this on a football site I frequent, but in the last six games...

Geno Smith, 81/161, 938 Yards, 1 TD 10INT, 2 rush TD
Mike Glennon, 118/183, 1316 Yards, 10TD, 1INT

Seems like Geno is getting worse and Glennon is getting better. As a Buc fan thats cool by me, but boy do the Jets suck at drafting QBs. Sanchez, Geno, what's the difference? (the answer of course is a butt-fumble)

I might have posted this on this site before, not sure. The worst part is Tannenbaum overruled Rex Ryan last year when Rex wanted Russell Wilson in the 2nd round.

Is there a way to watch the Lions/Packers game at work on the computer?

I know other daytime events like the Master's, and March Madness, etc. there is usually a way to stream the games live.

[troutman]

Can't get sound from the Fan960 on my iPad now?

[Cheerio]

Reggie Bush fumbles, hello Joique Bell

[DropIt]

Hopefully this game ends in a tie, like the packers did last week.

I know I should be cheering for the lions to lose, but I also know that if the Pack stay within a game or two of the race, Rodgers could very easily march them back into the playoffs. I'm very torn on which side to pick and think I'll have to cheer for the lions.

[Cheerio]

1st and goal and they don't even look at Megatron...Really? and they leave with a field goal

[GirlySports]

GB doesn't need a QB to win.

[Senator Clay Davis]

So the Lions must make terrific Apple Turnovers. They sure do know turnovers. I suppose they're being charitable in this charitable season. Thats 8 turnonvers and a punt block in the last 5 quarters and change.

[Cheerio]

I think Calvin is hurt pretty bad as Stafford isn't even trying to go to him anymore

[Cheerio]

Stafford's ability to escape pressure is pretty crazy

[Senator Clay Davis]

This game should be a total laugher, the Packers don't even have 50 yards. Yet if they can stay within a TD into the 4th the Lions will find a way to give it away.
