My first take

I don't usually get to post as often as I to use to on here, but hearing about the KB news yesterday really hurt. I really wish Benji a healthy and speedy recovery. It's really sad to see any player that plays in a league like the NFL get hurt, but injuries are definitely apart of the game and it's always next man up. My take on the injury is that it was definitely a huge blow to KB career, and no question it's  definitely a huge blow for our offense. It's hard not to forget that KB posted mind-boggling statistics as a rookie, and now I guess the biggest question that's going to remain throughout the rest of this training camp and preseason is who is going to replace those 9 TD's? How those TD's get replaced I'm not sure. I don't know if we have that guy on this roster to replace that kind of production and I'm not sure if we can match that production by committee. The only thing that is left is that we have to be effective running the ball this season and the defense has to start out hot and fast. Something that a lot of people don't realize is that your defense is your best offense. If we can get our defense playing fast and forcing turnovers early this season we will have a shot at being in every game. I'm also excited to see what Shaq Thompson and what our already improved secondary can really become. We still have issues on the defensive line but getting Star and KK back should help free up one on ones for ends also getting CJ back helps a ton too. So I'm guess what I'm really trying to say is that don't get too down before the season even start. As a fan base we have a lot to look forward to and these players will continue to fight each and everyday and each and every game. One thing that I learned about this team is that they never give up even in our lowest moments, and they have never quit on their coaches and this fan base. Keep Pouding!

I dont see these guys crying in the corner crumpled in the fetal position. The players seem to be taking it like men (unlike many here) and understand its a team of 53. 

Be proud fans, not pathetic losers.

I agree, this place has been damn near unbearable the past 24hrs!

    • Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.
    • I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.  
    • Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
