Rivera says the offense is learning to play together.

I said the same thing to my family at the start of the season about KB. He does not help Cam, but rather hinders his performance. 

It's true, I just don't think it's a coincidence that our 2014 year is the same now. Both when we had KB. We dominated without him last year. But im not going to blame him he's just a player. This is shula offense. If he can't design something that gets KB his while not messing up the rhythm of the offense that's on him

I don't blame KB one bit. I actually blame coaching and in some way Cam. I almost think Cam looks for him to get open too often and that is why he holds the ball too long. Thing is, there were few times last year where we said Cam held the ball too long. What kills me is that Rivera is too slow pulling the trigger for change. Watch, we will go 3-6 or 3-7, then Rivera makes changes.

The NFL wanted to take out our QB, that's obvious, but I won't comment on ongoing investigations. They can't control the games like they want to if they've got players like Cam.

Jerry Richardson and Dave Gettleman are more responsible for the lacking of quality personnel that Rivera has to work with. They'll cower behind Ron and let him and the coaches take the blame all season.

Us idiots were here all offseason saying it wouldn't work unless they added talent but they try to convince us we know nothing about football and the pass rush will come from elsewhere. B.S.!!!

We told them. The media told them. I'm no longer pointing fingers at Foxy, Hurney, Ron or Dave. Let's put the blame where it belongs!

This reeks of Front Office!

    • I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.   
    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
