Until Joe Thomas went down the O-Line was actually solid/yeoman like.So called skilled positions not so much.Josh Gordon has been cleared - oh happy day,that'll help leaps & bounds.

Deshaun Watson tears his ACL in practice in a non-contact freak accident. Out for the year. Can't imagine an NFL team more hit by the injury bug than Houston. JJ Watt and Whitney Mercilus game one, now this? Crazy.

[Mdot21]

No, it's the Browns.
He'll sign somewhere else this offseason, like Washington or Jacksonville or Denver, and be an All-Pro next year, just so we can talk about how he would have been a Brown but for.

Lol I doubt it. McCarron stinks. Browns lucked out here. They need every draft pick they can get. They don't need to be throwing away a 2nd and 3rd rd pick on a back-up who can't play.

I can understand them passing on Wentz and Watson. Wentz was too much of a gamble and Watson wasn't going to help them win any time soon and they got an extra 1st rd pick by trading back like 12 slots. Both of those guys went to much better teams around them. They'd struggle in Cleveland with no help. Can't understand or forgive the Browns for taking QB's like Brandon Weeden or Brady Quinn or Johnny Manziel in the 1st.

YOU can't understand/forgive?At least extend the common courtesy of not reminding us.I'm in counseling ya know - Bartender said I should try doubles and maybe some Jager

[FearlessF]

Sounds like something The Skipper & Gilligan tossed back from a coconut half shell

I actually thought Quinn would be solid.  Other two?  Yuck

it's actually a fun word to pronounce

Heaven forbid the Packers get blown out on national TV.  I guess just settle for one of the most lopsided 13 point wins in NFL history.

[Mdot21]

Matt Stafford becomes the 6th fastest QB to reach 200+ TD passes in a career. Only Dan Marino, Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning, Brett Favre, and Tom Brady have hit 200 in less games. Stafford also becomes only one of 4 QB's in NFL history to reach 200 before the age of 30. 

Great QB. One of the great QB talents the league has seen. Anybody who questions his ability and greatness is a fool in my opinion.

He needs to spend an offseason watching Brady sneak on short yardage situations.  It's the only thing he can't do, and for everything else Brady is amazing at, he is easily the best short yardage sneak QB ever.  Taking the snap, while falling g forward, he makes it look like something a bone should be able to do.  Then you watch Stafford pull the all the way up and probe for a hole that isn't there, and you appreciate how money Brady is on 4th and 1 or less

I'd agree with this. Stafford has improved every aspect of his game year to year. Despite playing for a crap organization like the Lions. He is EASILY the best QB that the Lions have ever had. If the Lions had him to go along with Barry Sanders in the 90s and not Andre Ware, Rodney Peete, Eric Kramer, Scott Mitchell, a 60 year old Dave Krieg with a bum shoulder, and a host of a few other mediocre QB's that I am forgetting- they just might have actually made it to a Super Bowl. I'd love to see what Stafford could do with a real life coach. The guy has had nothing but clown shows for head coaches. You get him a Dantonio, Saban, or either Harbaugh brother in there the Lions just might be something. They still need a real RB. They won't have a high enough pick, but Saquon Barkley with a Stafford in his prime would be an incredible thing to watch for the next 5-8 years.

I really enjoy watching the Packers lose

and I don't think I should feel a bit guilty about it

The only thing better would be watching them lose with Aaron Rodgers on the field. The little cry baby bitch face he makes when he loses is incredible. He's so great he doesn't lose often, but when he does- yeah it's pretty great.
