remember when certain posters who ruin every game thread was adamant that the lions screwed the franchise by drafting sewell over justin fields? 🤔

Without Ausar in the starting lineup everyone's defense is being exposed. Duren, Harris, and Robinson are all poor defenders and Cade has been pretty bad recently as well. So, of course, with the defense suffering JB has been trying more offensive lineups as if any combination of offensive players on this team is going to beat any other team in the league. Our best offensive players outside of Cade wouldn't crack the top 5 of most other team's best offensive players. You aren't winning that way, no matter who you put in there. Look, it's not that difficult. Ausar is out so you start Holland or Green to get a similar style player in there and put some defense in the starting lineup. The guy who gets minutes off the bench as a result is Reed. He's highly disruptive on defense and produces anytime he's in the lineup. Any other minutes you want to give out to guys like Huerter or Sasser - those minutes come from the reduction LaVert and/or Jenkin's minutes. It really isn't hard to figure this out.

If only the dems had a primary none of this would have happened

Remember, Raymond and Anzalone were these day two/three bargain pickups that went on to have good careers with the Lions. They don’t have to break the bank on top free agents.

COACH HIM UP!!!

I see why so many Republican and right wing men beat their women.

The ****er is on TV bragging about bombing and taking away their electricity and killing people but tell me again about that being the Christian way. He’s rambling in a way that Biden never did but dumb ass saps eat it up as gospel.

Holmes is unpredictable. I wouldn't be overly shocked if he took Jeremiah Love for instance if he dropped to 17. He's never cared about need or position and he'll go into the season with these tackles if he doesn't see a tackle he likes in the draft.

I will say it this way. It is a whole lot better to be going into this particular draft needing an offensive tackle then it was to go into the 2024 draft needing a cornerback.

We know Dom’s mother thru a running club. It’s cool to see.

I won't be astonished. Holmes does NOT reach based on position. Now, if it's like the OT on the board they have rated 2 and the LB on the board they have rated, the sure... but if they see someone they better even if it's not a position of need, they'll take that over the OT.

Erika Kirk to the Air Force Academy Board? Cannot wait to hear why this is such a wonderful selection. I’m sure as soon as the RW talking heads give their minions their talking points, we’ll get the posts here educating us. You honestly can’t make this **** up.

Nothing more intoxicating to the sociopathic psychopath than the power of life and death over millions.

Two weeks and two days. Don’t make it any longer than it has to be. 😉

I'd love to agree with you that it's odd, but this is what he does in crunch time too. He comes out and says Stew is the best defensive big in the league but then doesn't play him as a closer, even for just one possession when you need a stop. Same with Ausar, who's a top 5 defender in the entire NBA, and winds up sitting most nights in crunch time because JB opts for poor offense instead of dominant defense. He's been saying one thing and doing another with his lineups for a long time now. Since we're talking about defense, here are some fun numbers. Over the past 10 games Pistons have had a 104 defensive rating with Ausar on the court (best in the league) and a 119 defensive rating when he's off the court (near the bottom of the league). There's a reason the sudden turnaround started right about the time he got back from the blood clot last year. This is going to be a tough stretch of games while he's out with the ankle injury.

Its a great tackle class and the lions are going to draft one in the first round.

We’ve reached that point in this spring training game where on Gameday neither the pitchers nor the hitters have profile photos.

The thing that makes no sense. JB is a defense guy. It is odd his fallback is more offense instead of defense when all year he has stressed defense first.

Jesus

He hasn't been the same since he broke his fibula... But this will be his 3rd year after that so if he's going to get back to any explosiveness that he used to have... Now would be the time So... We'll see.

We've got both Perez and Meadows nervous - they've both been on base so far today.

I read that a few years ago and it blew me away. It was more about the Navy and their training programs... at least in my opinion. I loved it.

they missed Larkin on the PP last night.

This is stupidly ignorant, broad and definitionally wrong. Pluralism is not the issue. But liberal rhetoric about 'multi-culturalism' can be just as vapid even if it is an attempt to be less bigoted. All cultures are not equivalent. A culture is not just a set of anthropological observations, it is also set of moral and value judgements, which means that not all cultures are compatible. Since we are in the middle of fight with Iran we can use that example. The aspect of Islamic culture underpinning the Iranian revolution holds that ultimate political authority must be ceded to religious authority. That is a cultural value that is incompatible with US Constitutional order. It just is, you can't square that circle. If a Muslim from that part of Islam wants to fully join American culture that is a value, a piece of the culture he left, that he either didn't care about to begin with or must leave behind to embrace citizenship in the US. But that is not an issue for Muslims in general because Islam is broader than any of the many cultures that exist within it. And FTM, the fact that they may already be citizens by birth doesn't change the fact the some on the American Christian right are acting just as subversively and incompatibly with their citizenship in the Constitutional order.

Id love to kick the tires on Tariq Woolen. Fits our brand of defense and may be looking for a one year prove it deal to try and get a big deal.

He was better than Charlie Morton.

yup - this is almost certainly the next shoe that will drop. Iran will go all out to assemble and demonstrate one fissile explosion no matter how small, because they know that will change the calculus completely. And so the Iranian bomb will be Bibi's legacy to Israel. Total victory of ironic justice.

wait until all the ridiculous contracts are signed and then get some bargains. sign youth, not aged nfl vets. i'd be fine letting decker and reader both walk. too old. anzalone was right on the cusp of decline. he'll be fine this year and likely injured/bad after that. its the way of the nfl. a hard sport with short shelf lives.

we have a qb whose strength is smarts, timing and accuracy, why the hell would we sign someone who is dumb, slow, and inaccurate? because he runs a 4.3 40? fields will be too expensive for the lions. they usually do a cheap alternative at backup qb. but ya never know.

Not at all. It probably depends on who you (or anyone) follow and believe. Then again, who DO you believe? Like my point above, all this on headlines? Things are fixed? What to believe? I don't know. Wish I did. We are not alone. From WolfStreet: Crude Oil WTI Plunged by 24%, Back Below $88, from $116 Overnight. Gasoline Futures -16%. Manic Speculation Unwinds by Wolf Richter • Mar 9, 2026 • 8 Comments The Futures Market is where the Imbeciles go nuts. I was hoping he had something about where all this might go from here, but he doesn't unless I missed it. But his point is valid.

I'm skeptical. I don't think tossing a little money at some out of the money calls would be the worst idea.

Those are mostly depth positions.

Cruelty is the point - exhibit #747382655262

They never learn that killing people never changes anything. All you do is leave behind more people who are motivated to do more killing. The difference between the outcome after WWI and WWII was not because more people were killed more efficiently a generation later, it was because the peace afterward was managed completely differently. There are times when there are actors on the international stage that need to be removed, but trying to punish a population by "bombing them into the stone age" as LeMay touted as the solution in Vietnam, is stupid and pointless, not to mention immoral, esp if it doesn't at least create the needed change on the ground (for instance as it did in ex-Yugoslavia). So the question remains, what did we/will we accomplish by what we destroyed in life and treasure in Iran? It's too soon for that to be immediately clear, but I'm pessimistic it will turn out to be much.

It’s a logical fallacy to think one can have a logical conversation with a troll.

Even if it were true, Tater still doesn’t understand the Lions literally cannot afford $47.5 million annual salary. With Hutchinson that would be over $90 million in pass rushers. The bookend pass rushers for the 2015 Broncos were Von Miller, who was still under his rookie contract, and Demarcus Ware who signed for 3 years $30 million. They had 11 and 7.5 sacks, less than Hutchinson and Muhammad. They didn’t spend over 30% of their cap in pass rushers.

There is no question that men are more dangerous than bears.

Was $4 a gallon this morning in cleveland at GetGo. Thanks Trump!!

I am saying throwing harder over fewer pitches is worse on the elbow in particular.
