Yeah, between him and Biakabituka (not looking it up I know it's misspelled) it was hell on a message board lol.

Biakabutuka was easy because it's spelled how you say it. I've also had a hard time with Beuerlein. That many silent e's should be illegal.

That 1999 season Beurlin mighta been the 2 best QB in the league behind K. Warner.  Wonder how different history would have been if we had not cut him.

Wait, you mean you didn't love the Rodney Peete era?

We might have only lost 12 games, because we had about a half-dozen games that were decided within a touchdown and anyone but Weinke could have done better. That being said, virtually every weapon he used in 1999 and 2000 was basically gone. Wesley Walls wasn't himself, Muhsin Muhammad (coming off a league-learning 102-catch year) was injured the last part of the year, and Patrick Jeffers was a really sad shell of 1999. In the running game, Fred Lane was dead and Biakabutuka was injured the whole year. On top of that, Steve Smith wouldn't ever be considered for playing time under Seifert (both due to size and how useful he was as a returner) and the line was awful. Even if somehow manage to overcome all of that, the defense was terrible. Beurelein was good, but not good enough to overcome all that crap.

    • Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.
    • We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.
    • Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
