In order to drum up excitement for their season opener and hopefully
increase attendance numbers
Marvin Jones Jr Jersey , the Detroit Lions are offering “Standing Room Only” tickets to Monday night’s game against the New York Jets. This is
something the Lions have been doing more and more often, especially for marquee,
nationally-televised games like this one. Team president Rod Wood even oversaw
the development of a standing room only platform for the 2016 regular season
finale against the Green Bay Packers:Tickets are somewhat affordable at just
$49, and there are six different sections located throughout Ford Field (graphic
courtesy of Ticketmaster):Of course, if you’d rather have an actual seat, there
are still tickets available for the same $49 in the upper bowl, or you can even
get ticket on the secondary market for under $100. Either way, if you want to go
to the Detroit Lions’ season opener, there are more options available for you
now. Head to DetroitLions.com/tickets or call up 800-745-3000 if you’re
interested. Last week, I already declared that the Detroit Lions “won” the trade
deadline by trading for Damon Harrison Sr. While I stand by that take, it’s also
clear that that single transaction didn’t push the Lions over the top
Authentic Graham Glasgow Jersey , as they got handled by the Seahawks on Sunday, even with “Snacks” having a very good game. Now the trade deadline sits
a few hours away, and many are wondering if the LIons aren’t quite done yet.
Rumors have already been swirling about the fate of wide receiver Golden Tate,
for which there are reportedly multiple teams interested in acquiring. So far,
those rumors appear to be just that, rumors, but sometimes where there’s smoke
there’s fire. So today’s Question of the Day is:Should the Lions make another
move at the trade deadline?My answer: While the Lions certainly could use more
help—especially on the defensive side of the ball (ie: cornerback, edge
rusher)—I just don’t think it’s worth it at this point. Unless they could
somehow pull of another grand larceny type of trade where they could get a solid
defensive back for a fifth round pick—and considering it cost the Saints a
fourth and seventh to acquire Eli Apple, I find that very unlikely—it’s just not
worth it.As wide open as the NFC North is this year, this team is supposed to be
building for championships, not division titles. Right now
Youth Sam Martin Jersey , this team isn’t playing like it’s destined for a championship. Certainly that can change, but at this point, we’ve seen the Lions
lose four games, three of which they were manhandled in. Sending away draft pick
after draft pick to acquire short-term talent is not how to build a winning
franchise, so I’m just not in favor of being buyers at any significant cost this
year.As for being sellers, I think all of that is nonsense right now. You’d have
to get at least a second-round pick for Golden Tate for it to be worth it, in my
opinion, and that deal is not likely to come. As for anyone else on the roster,
they’re likely too important to the future of this team (Darius Slay) or won’t
get you enough on the open market to be worth it in a trade (Ameer Abdullah). So
I think the Lions should stand pat during Tuesday, and I’d be pretty surprised
if they make another move. Your turn.
