The Detroit Giants

Canton : 10/11/2018 11:44 pm
Watching Saquon be the highlight of the evening, with the rest of the team looking putrid, reminded me of Sanders and the Detroit Lions teams of the 90's.

How lovely..

Was going to post the same

I used to tune in to just watch Sanders as a Giants fan, but being a Detroit fan must have been tough. Sanders always made them good enough to finish middle of the pack but they never really got the players or the top draft picks to build a team around him. Hope that isn't our case.

No worries. We're not finishing in the middle of the pack.
Funny you say that.

My brother in law is a Lions fan and can't believe how bad the Giants are. This is a whole different level of suck.
The Lions problem is that they did not get a QB to go with Sanders,

nor did they build a championship defense while he was there.

The Giants have the opportunity, potentially, to draft a #1 QB next spring, build the Oline and defense through the draft and FA.

For the record, I was all for drafting a QB this past April, but if Gettleman/Shurmur did not love Darnold/Rosen/Allen I'm glad they didn't force the pick.
Don't expect a championship defense anytime soon

And Mara knows he’ll still put asses in the seats because Barkley is a show. A big show.

Plus, fans like watching OBJ’s pregame routine.

So it’s still a win-win for Mara.
It looked to me

that the stadium was still packed by fans who just wanted to see Barkley

You could be right
The Lions were in the 91 championship game
