Report: CB Nnamdi Asomugha likely to sign with Lions

[PEYMAN18]

I never said they're a laughing stock. But you're talking like Nnamdi is the missing piece for their super bowl run. They are competitive I'll give you that. And Stafford has proven two years in a row he's made of glass. Good luck with that guarantee.

And the Packers oline was good enough to get a ring. That's good enough for me.

He's the missing piece to being a real competitive playoff team. The Lions aren't experienced enough for a super bowl run (but anything's possible)

Stafford is healthier than he has been his whole life. His injuries, I believe, where just bad luck. If you watch his college highlights, Stafford was durable as a mofo.

The surgery he had sure seemed to help Drew Brees and Sam Bradford.

Yea the stat was a reach imo.



Really? I do believe the NFC North is harder than the AFC North.

I mean. The defending NFC Champions Chicago Bears are thurr.

The Superbowl Champions Green Bay Packers (WHO BEAT THE AFC NORTH'S OWN PITTSBURGH STEELERS)

The Lions played close games with both of them.

During the regular season the Steelers and Ravens racked up 12 wins each and there isn't any sign of either of them dropping off anytime soon.

The Bears had 11 wins and the Packers had 10. From a wins standpoint the AFC North was tougher. The Packers were good but they had some injuries and didn't come away with as many wins that would dictate how good they truly were. As for the Bears, I wouldn't be surprised if they finished with a .500 record maybe give or take a game. In the post-season the Packers did put it all together but

Overall yes, I would say the AFC North is tougher.

It would make the Lions a very scary team. No front here. But that team still has it's holes. Most notably in their backfield, and the middle of that defense.

[Aso]

I'm not saying the Lions are absolutely terrible. They have talent and you're right they are competitive, but they are still in the bottom half of the league. It's not like a player of Asomugha's stature will look at the Lions and decide to go there instead of a team like the Eagles because it's just too good an opportunity to pass up. Jim Schwartz and co. are praying to whoever they pray to, each and every day, that they get Asomugha.

From a win stand point both divisions had 33 wins.

Except the NFC North was 5-1 in the playoffs and the AFC North was 3-2.

Hate to burst your bubble bro, but Detroit won't make the playoffs with or without Nnamdi. They don't have the quarterback to get the job done. I can guarantee Nnamdi won't even play for Detroit. There are going to be a lot of teams throwing a lot of money at him, and there's no chance he picks Detroit.

Detroit is the third best team in the NFC North AT BEST

But if you're talking about making the playoffs usually you'll have to come in higher than 3rd in your division (I know you can make it in as a 6th seed but the chances aren't high). The chances of knocking off the Bears as a opposed to the Ravens or Steelers for 2nd place in your division, trying to earn a wildcard spot, are more likely. The Browns and Lions won't be winning either of their divisions so let's not go there.

I find it funny that ever since I've been a Lions fan I haven't really had any NFL fans ever dislike the Lions (even fans of NFC North teams), but now all of a sudden we have some haters in the house. Hating means we're doing something right.

I hate to say it, but this team does not need Matt Stafford to win games. Shaun Hill and Stanton proved they were capable of winning games. With or without Nnamdi this team should win 7-10 games this year. We started to figure out how to win close games at the end of last season.

I remember back in the day, MM was chock full of Lions fans an no one ever talked shit to them.

Detroit is definitely on the right path and Asomugha would help that secondary quite a bit.

[Goober]

Detroit, lol. At least it's better then Oakland, that's it though.

Good for the Lions, they're the only team in the NFC North that I can tolerate.

C'mon krul. No hate, just being real.

How the fuck are they better than Oakland in any conceivable way!?!! We didn't have a losing record, back as soon as 02 the Raiders were in the Superbowl. The Lions have never been in the Superbowl not to mention they went 0-16 in 08. Watch out, I can understand the hate coming from you seeing as you're a Broncos fan. If it were anyone else, someone would've gotten neg repped. (watch out, I'll do it)

Walk before you run there mgo.

[Buzzman]

Detroit is better then Oakland because Jason Campbell starts at QB. I'd rather have Drew Stanton with a broken leg.
