They didn't go after Mayfield even though he was a true Dan Campbell guy

Started watching this, saw it was Florio, and immediately shut it down. The bug he has up his ass with the Lions is just weird.

And he's a Vikings fan to boot.

What have the Detroit Lions done to him in his lifetime to make him hate us so much?

I can understand the hate towards the Packers, but he's even respectful towards that franchise, especially considering the Lombardi trophies that they have, or even the Bears, that haven't won a Super Bowl since Ditka and Company did it back in the mid '80s, but why hate on poor, mostly mediocre and forgettable (until recently) Detroit?

I could tell him that he needs to pay attention to his team, a franchise that has a below .500 record lifetime in the Playoffs, just like Detroit, and even though the Lions have never made the Super Bowl, his favorite team hasn't even been in the Super Bowl since 1977, over 4 decades ago!!

On top of that, the Minnesota Vikings are 0-4 in the Super Bowl all-time.

This guy has supposedly confirmed that Buggs was cut due to his drinking. 😥

Well that certainly would be justified and why they have been so tightlipped about what’s happening.

Buggs liked his carrot juice a little too much?

The villian thing doesn't make a bit of sense. They are the plucky, underdog, Babyface working from underneath. You only become the villain when you overstay your welcome.

Didn't that come from the scouting/drafting part where Brad said something about willing to take on the role of the villian if they grabbed people that the fan base wasn't a fan of? I guess they just couldn't help but to try to force it into some kind of "bad boys" image in general for the lions (and biting kneecaps). But I don't think anyone in the NFL or NFL fanbase considers the Lions to be bad guys since Suh and Schwartz left.

That sucks. I know he missed the voluntary off season workouts which didn’t impress the staff either. If it’s true about being hungover at work this late in the season then he might not be the right fit for any playoff team. That sucks because he’s a good player

[CGVT]

He took a wrong turn at Albuquerque

[dpatnod]

I feel a bit better at least having SOME explanation of the rift. Really, too bad. Get better Buggs. Don't throw away an opportunity few get! But I can accept the cut, now. It isn't that the Lions are all choir boys (I admit during the Caldwell era that was a thing that hurt the team). You just gotta be a Lions guy with this current team. I guess Buggs wasn't. Bummer.

Right into a bar parking lot?

[Mainevent]

Who on this current team wouldn’t also play for Caldwell?

[froot loops]

I think it would have been better for this speculation not to be out there I thought Buggs was good last year and in his limited time this year, but his role as a 2 gap run stuffer has been filled without him. If he had the pass rushing skills of McNeill, he would still be on the roster
