Midseason trade results

There was a whole lot of bitching from certain people about the Lions inactivity.

Funny now that nearly all them have turmed into disaster but not a post about.

Colts on their way to 1-3

Eagles 2-2 just got 250 ran down their throats.

And finally the Cowboys got 44 put on their heads with the season on the line.

We’re good

This is an odd post. It’s been a month. The colts had no way of forecasting an injury to Sauce, and the Eagles, last I checked, are leading their division.

The Lions are 3-3 since the trade deadline, and although the win over Dallas gave us some hope, shouldn’t we … you know … see how the season plays out?

You dont see the irony in you of all people saying we should see how the season plays out 1st?

Not sure why you seem so intent on arguing, but I don’t see the irony because the entire point of the trade deadline is to improve your roster for the stretch run. As I said, we are 3-3 since the trade deadline. I’m hopeful. I’d be more hopeful with help opposite Hutch. No idea what you’re on about.

The moves Dallas made clearly made them better lol. The Lions didn’t need Williams or the LB they acquired but I’m not too sure why you would think the moves Dallas made were bad?

Doesn’t matter who the lions traded for. We want the end opposite Hutchinson to be a 315 pound DT…..maybe we finally figured out that Mohammad is the guy to play?

If Frazier hadn’t played as well as he did and we were rolling with colon and awosika at left guard I suspect this thread would be different.

Colts didnt do anything for backup QB and loose the division

I’ve been defending Brad on this the whole time. We don’t know who was available, and what the cost was for anyone. I would not trade two first rounds picks for Micah. I would not trade two first round picks for Sauce. I would not trade a 1st round pick + 3rd for QW although that is the one that was very tempting for me. Not only do you lose 1st round + picks but now you have to pay these guys 100mil. This is a team who builds thourgh the draft. And this is a team who built a championship caliber team from the ground up in 3 seasons.

What if they get hurt? Sauce is hurt. Now their QB might be out. I don’t think the Packers are a championship team. Cowboys aren’t.

And you all act like he doesn’t siign FA’s or majkde trades. He does. CDIII for a 3rd round pick was a great trade. Zeitler was a great signing and so was Reader.

I do admit I want Brad to push the envelope a little next off-season. No developmental players. Focus on depth with those late rounds. Hope for a gem even someone like Malcolm Rodriguez. And if you’re going to trade picks for a vet do another CDIII type trade.

But overall keep doing what you’re doing. I like that Dan said they’re not listening to the outside noise.

Now, they could play better. And a do a better job calling plays. And #1 if this team was healthy we’d be singing a diffferent song. Losing Kerby HURT.

Just my 2 cents. What do i know? Nothing usually :slight_smile:

If the player the front office drafted and knew they had wasn’t playing well?

Sure

Mid season trades had nothing to do with us going 3-3 but coaching sure did. I liked Frazier better than Rat but since Rat has hit the ground running I would be surprised if Frazier ended up the better of the two. Actually the funny thing is that what could have been our best add wouldn’t have taken a trade. CJGJ. For those of you who believe, with hindsight BTW, that a trade could have had a major impact then who and why.

The guy opposite Hutch just put up 3 sacks in our last game.

Sure did. What was his stat line the previous four games?

Look, I hope AQM has woken up. Because if he plays that way, or even something close to it, you’re right and we don’t need help.

Anyone who actually learns, knows and cares about football knows that sacks comes in bunches. The only players that have been the exception are Miles Garrett, Lawrence Taylor and Jared Allen. Those guys were consistent year in, year out. Also, game in and game out.

@Wrath-SRT you are stirring the trolls, I mean hornets nest!!

While I do agree mortgaging future isn’t the best approach always, I do think it’s unfair to judge until end of season.

So I’m a troll now on my own forum because I post things you disagree with? He didn’t even make a point in the original post.
