Nah............I just started upfront on your entire shitty D. Giving up the most points in the league in 2020, it does not get any worse than that.

Lions were ranked 13, Bears 20.
Try again?
Final 2020 offensive line rankings
With the 2020 NFL regular season now in the books, PFF's Ben Linsey ranks every offensive line in the NFL.
Lions got better, who the fuck knows what Nagy is cobbling together this year.

Actually it does get worse than that, almost getting swept by that team is worse.

You seem a little sore on Sewell’s bust potential yet are quick to disparage Jenkins over nothing based in fact.
The point is there’s plenty to support Jenkins will be just fine at LT, from his RAS score to technique on tape against the SEC to his work ethic and intelligence translating early in practices.
When picks hit, you see signs early. That doesn’t mean other guys don’t take time. Sewell understandably hasn’t had a chance yet.
Maybe try enjoying your team’s off-season instead of coming here with an axe to grind about our guys.

LOL, did you actually read the title of the thread? There is a reason Sewel was picked #7 and jenkins dropped to the 2nd rnd.

You're correct but I think anyone would rather have Sewell on draft day. Both have to play a while before we know what's up. Biggest rap on Jenkins is shortish arms for the position but he's got the feet and strength to counter that. He'll need some tweaks to be most effective with less emphasis on mirror and more aggressive engagement than he he was taught at LT in college. His lack of reps on the left had nothing to do with ability but it will mean he needs more to find his most effective techniques and it may take a bit.
Sewell could be great or bust at T and same for Jenkins. No one knows right now but they are both great prospects. Sewell, the most sound and Jenkins with a surprising amount of upside for a 2nd round selection in a very deep draft at the position. It will be remarkable if Jenkins doesn't have some growing pains but in terms of potential, sky is the limit. We can only wait and see if he'll ever reach it.
If you look at predraft position groups, you'll find OT in everyone's top 3. Most had WR and QB as the other 2. Considering the draft value of 2 of them (QB and T), good year for teams with those needs (and a little luck) not at the top of the draft.

Seems weird to play Sewell at RT when you drafted him top 10 to be your star LT for the next decade plus. In any other draft he probably ends up top 5 and even has a shout at the number 1 pick. He's not a guy you should try to ease in by playing at RT first though, he is a more than capable prospect of handling LT off the bat. No need to play it cute and mess with what he is already familiar with. Sewell will very likely end up being better than any player on our line and Detroit overall has a better offensive line than us, but this does seem a bit weird.
With that said, the Bears are better than the Lions and basically always have been. With exception to that weird 2013 through 2015 time frame, it has basically been all Bears for a very long time. I expect much of the same dominance to continue this upcoming season again. Beyond that who knows. Bears have the potential franchise QB to dominate the division, but the Lions also have the assets to get their own franchise quarterback and surround him with elite talent. Will they take advantage of it? History says no, but history also says we can't draft quarterbacks so doesn't mean too much.

Their current LT was also the 16th pick in the draft and is playing well. Sewell dropped to them and they are trying to get the best 5 playing with the greatest need at RT. Facing Mack twice a year makes RT a premium for them as well. You don't just replace Decker with a rookie.

You keep saying that but the Bears also almost swept the Lions.
Hint: “Almost” counts for nothing.
How about the more relevant recent history?
Hint: The last three years the Bears have finished 1st, 3rd, and 2nd in the north.
The last three years the Lions have finished last, last, and what a surprise last.
The Bears over that timeframe are 28-20 with 1 division title and 2 playoff appearances.
The Lions over that timeframe are 14-34 with 0 divisions titles and 0 playoff appearances.
There is also a reason the Lions had the 7th pick.
Hint: Out of 32 teams there were only 6 teams worse than Lions.
[BONUS FACTOID]
One of the two teams finished the 16 game era with the worst record during that timeframe.
Hint: It wasn’t the Bears.

Again, the Fox years in which you finished last 4 years in a row, a feat no one else in the North has accomplished, not even the lowly Lions. Congrats on your one outlier year, one in which was largely responsible by a season of good health and and abnormally high turn over ratio. Once things returned to normal, you became the ho hum .500 team your talent suggested you were. A 12-4 team getting bounced out of the playoffs only showed what a fraud the 2018 Bears were.
And at least the Lions actually have something to show for their High picks.........How is Pace doing with the draft capital he earned finished last 4 years in a row?

How do the Lions have something to show for their high picks? They are a pathetic organization and team

The Lions have had high picks and bad coaching forever so if a good coach shows up, he should have something to work with but it's the Lions so, nah.

"It took me a bit to come to a conclusion but I would have to say that the Bucs are the worst team in the NFL with the Lions at a close second." That just changed, LOL.

What is the worst NFL franchise in history?
The National Football League is one of the biggest sports leagues in America. After all, football is supposed to be “the most american sport” (recent events say otherwise). And in football history there have been many teams/franchises, but only 32 exist today. One thing stands true though, ever...

This^^
How is three straight last place finishes “something to show for it?” If I were a betting man I’d bet on the Lions finishing last once again but the payout would be shit since I’m sure they are the odds on favorite to finish last once again.
Also didn’t Okudah look pretty pedestrian last year?
