Bome baš...

Nisu vise jednodimenzionalni. Sada Met mora da mesa malo. Tejt, Dzons, Q i Ebron su sasvim pristojne mete i dosta pouzdane...

Report: Stafford has dislocated finger, torn ligaments on right hand

And now the Detroit Lions hold their breath and wait.

Taman da odmori jedno kolo.

I da ih vi dobijete i mi da se nadamo nečemu i sve super...

hm...

Stafford oborio rekord brace Manning po broju 4th Q comeback u sezoni.

Pa kada ne može da izbezbuca mece perece u prvoj četvrtini i završi posao kao čovek.

PFT preseason power rankings No. 15: Detroit Lions

The Lions are coming off a surprise playoff season, but that doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a lot of optimism heading into 2017.

In fact, the optimism that abounded in Detroit mostly came to a halt over the end of last season, when the Lions lost their last three regular-season games to back into the playoffs and then got stomped by the Seahawks in the wild card round. Because of that, there’s not much playoff buzz around the Lions this year.

So can the Lions be a surprise playoff team for the second year in a row? Let’s have a look.

Biggest positive change: Detroit’s defense struggled all season, but the Lions think they got a lot better on draft day. First-round linebacker Jarrad Davis should start on Day One, second-round cornerback Teez Tabor will get plenty of playing time as a rookie, and fourth-round linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin, fifth-round defensive back Jamal Agnew and sixth-round defensive tackle Jeremiah Ledbetter can all provide depth. Mere regression to the mean suggests the Lions’ defense should be quite a bit better, and the infusion of young talent looks like a real positive.

Biggest negative change: The loss of starting left tackle Taylor Decker for at least the first month of the season, and possibly much more, was a huge blow. The Lions made Decker their first-round pick last year with the thought that he’d protect Matthew Stafford’s blind side for years to come. Now they may have to rely on a castoff like ex-Ram Greg Robinson or ex-Bill Cyrus Kouandjio. On the right side of the line, the Lions think they got better by signing tackle Ricky Wagner and guard T.J. Lang to replace the departed Riley Reiff and Larry Warford. But at least until Decker returns from his shoulder injury, it’s hard to see how the Lions can feel confident in their offensive line this season.

We’d like to crack a beer with . . . Matthew Stafford, to find out where the quarterback really thinks his future lies. Stafford is heading into the final season of his contract, and so far it doesn’t appear that he and the team are all that close on a new deal. Is Stafford committed to the Lions for the long haul? Or would he like to shop his services to the highest bidder in March?

Coaching thermometer: Jim Caldwell’s seat is a lot hotter than you’d expect for a guy who’s made the playoffs two of his first three seasons. He’s heading into the final season of his contract, and his boss, G.M. Bob Quinn, may want to bring in his own coach if Caldwell can’t get to the playoffs for the third time.

How they could prove us wrong: If the Lions’ offensive line can keep Stafford upright and the young players on defense make an immediate impact, it’s easy to see them being better than we’re expecting. If not, it’s easy to see them being worse.

Detroit and Stafford agreed to terms on a five-year contract, the team announced Monday evening. The deal is worth $135 million with $92 million in guarantees, making Stafford the highest-paid player in the league, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per a source informed of the deal. The $27 million-per-year average surpasses a deal signed earlier this summer by Raiders quarterback Derek Carr, which pays the Oakland passer an annual average of $25 million.

Uze čo'ek trilione...

Nije loše...

Ne vredi on toliko... ali trziste jbg

Ne vrijedi nitko te pare al štaš, inflacija je'iga...

I moja prva misao je bila da ne vredi, al sam onda procitao ovo:
Stafford has twice led the NFL in passing attempts but just once finished as the leader in completions. He has topped 4,200 passing yards and 20 touchdowns in each of his past six seasons, once exceeding 5,000 air yards and setting a career best of 41 touchdowns in the 2011 season.
He has twice led the league in both fourth-quarter comebacks and game-winning drives.
Kad se to procita, on je Montana kakvih sve startera ima u NFL a i kakvi dolaze na draft

Daleko od toga da je on loš i da nije u gornjoj polovici lige što se tiče QB al opet, ne vrijedi jebenih 27 milki godišnje...

Odnosno, vrijedi, tj. svako vrijedi onoliko koliko je netko spreman platiti za to pa tako i ovo...

Je'iga...

Jebena pobjeda jučer...

Axe po jutru dan poznaje, Golladay će biti zvjerka...

U preseasonu se vidjelo da će biti nešto od čo'eka al baš ovako da će odigrat, svaka čast...

Lavići po dosad prikazanom se ne šale...

A imaju, po mom sudu, i najljepše bijele dresove u Ligi...

Mozda jedino pozitivno iznenadjenje do sad u sezoni su Lionsi

Staford je odličan za sada. Opravdava uloženi novac.

Bome isplaćuje za sada uloženo...

Još da njegov OL nije napravio iljadu i jedan penalty, ovo jučer bi bio spektakl...

Pokradeni sinoć big time...

i meni deluje.

Da, pokradeni, ali deluju dobro, skroz ravnopravi sa sampionom NFC
