Lions Sign Matt Prater

**klemopixx** · 10-08-14, 06:59 AM

This is the no-brainer move of the year! Alex Henery couldn't the side of a barn! They will be sweating that one loss at the end of the year

Good move for the Lions. Prater is a proven veteran who can step in and lock down the position.

**Carseller4** · 10-08-14, 07:55 AM

Damn, was hoping the Saints would sign him.

Shane Graham makes me nervous.

**Smoke** · 10-08-14, 07:57 AM

Perfect timing and much needed

**Fire in da hole** · 10-08-14, 08:20 AM

Nice pickup for the Lions

As expected.

The surprise here is that it was only a one-year contract.

5 games in, is this their third kicker???

Well, he has one thing going for him, he can't do any worse than they did.

We are talking about possibly the best kicker in football here that set the NFL record last year with his 64-yard field goal. Obviously the altitude helped, but he should excel in the controlled conditions in a dome too.

Good. Their kicker screwed my tease bet last Sunday.

Me too! I literally teased every game on the card, and that was my only loss

A drunk Prater is still a better kicker than a sober Freese or Henery.

**Otters27** · 10-08-14, 06:24 PM

Wow set up nice for him in the dome. Denver should have helped him with rehab and kept him.

**turtlejc** · 10-08-14, 06:26 PM

Haha I lost a teaser too

Lions +1.5

That's what I get for crossing the 0

**pavyracer** · 10-08-14, 06:42 PM

He will meet other drunks there and fall off the wagon.

**LordVodka** · 10-08-14, 10:47 PM

Reports are he was seen at the local bar celebrating his signing.

**Cross** · 10-08-14, 11:25 PM

Guy has a good leg in that mountain air.

**laclippers504** · 10-08-14, 11:27 PM

He's somewhere celebrating over a shot of jack

The guy is solid on the road too, what are you trying to say?

Good kickers are hard to find. Guys that kick for distance and accuracy and most importantly don't choke under pressure. Probably one of the most mental positions in sports.

**Wrigley** · 10-09-14, 11:19 AM

good kicker and will kick well at ford field
