1984Echoes

Yes they were talking about it quite a bit... Before and during...

You FINALLY figured it OUT!!! GOOD JOB!

Reagan would blister the **** out of Trump. He would undress him with the power of his words... brutally. He would blister MAGA as Treasonous scum that should be deported to Siberia. He would crush them. And he would crush Trump. The one person who would actually get them to be red-faced about all this ****.

Sign him up.

I think you guys are also making a MAJOR mistake thinking we can just let Jonah walk... I don't think he will be "OVER"-priced... I think he will be an affordable sign for the Lions. He's not a top 10 Guard in the NFL. His PFF grade for 2023-24 was the 60th Guard. Even if there is context in there and he's a better guard than that... I don't think he's breaking the bank. He's more valuable than Ceedy Duce. He was critical to our best O-line play, as any substitute performed well below him. If his AAV is $10-12 mill per year... and I think it ends up closer to $10 mill than $12 mill... Then he is my #1 priority keeper re-sign. There are other areas to save money on this team. O-Line isn't one of them. Just my 2 cents.

Missed extra point could loom large.

The Lions are competitive with both of these teams and belong here. Just a few more moves by Holmes... A few more plays by the guys... And we can get in. IMO.

And a quick TD by KC to take their first lead of the game...

Omigosh... what a critical turnover...!

As soon as I saw him I hit mute.

So far, this Super Bowl is telling me... Defense is actually pretty important. Controlling the line of scrimmage on both sides is critical.

That would be you and me, and anyone else who was actually paying attention, or at least not corrupted by Party Polemics. But if Moderate Republicans cannot call for an end to this NONSENSE... RIGHT NOW... then they can ALL go **** themselves. It's called "country before party". If they don't have the gonads for that, then every single one of them can rot in hell for all of eternity. Moderates. Like Kasich, Hogan, Christie, Haley, and even non-moderates who are SUPPOSED to have INTEGRITY. Ryan, McConnell, etc. They need to DECLARE they are voting Democrat, because of Trump. If they can't do that... then they are ALL consigned to eternal damnation.

I've never actually watched a Super Bowl game... I think. I can't remember in my old age... Maybe a half or something? Or on in the background just for noise while I did something else maybe... I honestly can't remember anything, from any Super Bowl. If I had the game on at all (can't remember)... it must not have really been important to me. The Lions were never in one so... I didn't care. Weirdly... I'm actually interested in this one. What is this "Super Bowl" thing that everyone gets so excited about? The Detroit Lions almost made it to this thingamajig this year... Yes? Could they make it next year, maybe? So what is this thing all about? Hey, I think I'm actually going to watch because... I wanna see the Lions in one or a few of these things... like, maybe, starting in 2025? So... let me check this out and see what all the hubbub is for...

PS: You know that Hamas controls the flow of information coming out of Gaza, right? From the Palestinian perspective. Those stats that you posted... Are PROPAGANDA, directly from HAMAS. You know this, right?

That's a flat out lie. Those numbers were supplied by Hamas, weren't they. 14,000 of those killed were terrorists. And they use kids to transport weapons and ammunition through there terrorist tunnels. How many of those children were IN tunnels when killed? Misleading as ****.

If Establishment Republicans stick with this horse**** then they are dead to me too. They had 4 years and Jan 6th to figure out just exactly what kind of scumbag corrupt fascist POS this guy is. He is speaking loudly and clearly that he is going to be even worse if there's a next time. If moderate Republicans do NOT vote in massive droves for Biden... then they are ****ing dead to me too. I can't ****ing stand this. Watching this country descend into a cesspool of bigotry and violence, fascism and abject stupidity. WTF America?

Children and God Emperor were outstanding. Very complex though... and he starts going into a deep dive in Jungian philosophy... The dialogue starts getting very thick and opaque... so I can see where it loses people... And no... I don't believe Lucas ever cottoned to the cribbing...

That actually is the theme of his last 3 Dune novels, not Dune. God Emperor of Dune. Heretics of Dune. Chapterhouse Dune.

Dumping most of the vets means to all these new kids coming in: "Get stops, and make your shots = more minutes". Very simple message to everyone on the team. Starter vs. bench shouldn't even matter. Come off the bench, get stops, make your shots, get more minutes. Competition will be fun to watch at least, for the rest of this season.

I prefer both.

The flipside is that if your corners suck so bad that they can't cover anyone, a good QB is going to be able to find a receiver and hit him. The pressure won't matter. Gotta have CB's at least good enough to allow the pressure time enough to convert the sack. At least a few times in a game... Obviously that doesn't work every single pass play. But in my mind, gotta have both. Coverage good enough to force a QB to hold onto the ball too long... and good enough pass-rush to not only just get pressure, but close the deal (sack) often enough to make a difference (and also have the ability to contain and not lose QB's for 10-15-25 yard runs...).

The one thing on that: I don't know if anyone else would think the same... But Weaver came out and said getting Grimes was the equivalent of a 1st rounder to them. (PS: He was a 1st rounder, 1-25 by the Knicks in 2021...).

The difference being defense obviously. Hronek with the +32 and Gost with a -20

Are there any stretch-4's at the top of the 2024 Draft? I'd like one. Puts Stew firmly on the bench as 6th man. And if he can actually play defense and stretch the floor and do other nice things... Might really be a big boost for this team next season. Coupled with Cade-Ivey-Duren-Ausar-Sasser growing, and all these young hungry 3&D 20-somethings that Weaver just got... Maybe, just maybe, we could have some hope for next season...?
