If it's the NFC Championship and it's our last chance at salvaging a win then... I WANT DC to do that and I believe he SHOULD do that... IMO.

Yeah... This is probably what I was thinking of... Because you're correct, you don't want your QB or anyone else injured by playing stupid games with unsaid rules (although I've seen a few V-formations busted which... also pissed everyone off...). But I think a fake "concede" is much more akin to a fake spike. All a fake concede would do is trick to claim more seconds to try a last gasp win in a critical game. It might piss everyone off but no one is in danger of an injury since it's not an actual play. I mean, a fake spike is an actual play... but I think much less egregious than the fake kneel-down. I would put a fake "concede" into the same boat as a fake "spike"... IMO. Gamesmanship.

There have been fake kneel-downs... Why not a fake "concede"? Especially if it ends up with a win instead of a loss. This is the playoffs. All's fair in love and war... And the NFL Playoffs... IMO.

Biden to Trump: "Why DON'T you give Alaska back to Russia? You could get a Trump Tower Moscow and a Trump Tower St. Petersburg out of it... Isn't that a good trade for you? Alaska for two Trump Towers." Trump, with brows furrowed and chin in hand, thinking intently and muttering under his breath: "Hmmm, not a bad idea. That might work. I should call up Vladdy first thing after this. He loves me. Alaska for two Trump Towers. Hmmm."

Where is that? That's a monster screen!!! (or two...)

I know. I gave the appropriate response. I know about the "bu-bu-bu Clinton death squad..."; so I think the appropriate response is a straight answer... especially since it comes from MAGA BS... But that's just me. No worries... 😉

Baltimore is the only truly SCARY team this year.

We should fire our Coordinators NOW!!! THEY SO TERRIBLE!!! NOW would be a good time to FIRE THEM!!! Right?

I think they even lost a yard or two...

Whoa... I thought you were being serious!!!

Holy ****!!! Did Amon-Ra have to fight for that 15 yard First and.. He GOT IT!!!

Well... Maybe a 3 minute one would also be OK...

Wait... How many TD's is that...? Cause I think we just need one more... Just sayin'...

That's a zero issue.

Sorry... I don't go for mirages and MAGA lies...

Thinking along the same lines... Have Haley steal the nomination and maybe this country starts to inch back towards normalcy. Biden started it. And he needs to get a second term to complete the normalcy healing at the top... But the Republicans gotta come to their senses. At least until MAGA is diminished as a political force: Go Nikki.

Shhh... DUDE!!!

... and would NOT have resulted in a favorable team option for 2025. I'm on board with your line of thinking...

Jim Schwartz deserves a second chance before Patricia does... IMO.

And blew several infamous calls in games PRIOR to the Lions-Cowboys... It's extremely reasonable to believe that, even if the NFL did not officially announce, that he and his team have been downgraded to not appearing in a playoff game... unless it's some emergency (replace a sick or injured official).

I believe all of this... especially the bolded part.

Avila was NEVER "File & Trial"... Just sayin'... 😉

And Devin Sweet is pretty much hot garbage so I'm not certain what they're even seeing here...

Yeah, I haven't seen anything concrete about dumping Speaker Johnson... Just rumblings. Which don't amount to squat if that's what's being squawked about above...

Glasgow will be relatively cheap. Good player for us at OG... top-notch. But he'll be 32 next year and won't command max dollars. Detroit wants him and he wants Detroit. I see a reasonable 3-year contract for him. Jonah most likely leaving prompted me to push OC/OG need all the way up to the top. The O-Line makes this team go. **** up the O-Line and we **** up the entire season. Is nobody else aware of this? I'm quite happy with Powers-Johnson in the 1st. He could become the immediate starting LG. We have Sorsdal, who still needs some work. Foster in the 5th is another developmental guy who could play OG or possibly RT, if needed. I'd still like to re-sign Jonah... but even if we did, having Powers-Johnson, Foster, and Sorsdal as primary backups solidifies the O-Line for 2024 (TOP priority even given the Dire Straits of our CB's...). Some teams in cap-hell won't be able to franchise their FA CB. Or will have to choose between two top players, leaving one of them exposed. And players will WANT to come play for Dan Campbell and Detroit. We finally have an edge there. I like the Chiefs CB the most: Sneed. Get him, live with Sutton as #2 and Branch as nickel, and draft another high round CB to develop, whether that's 1st, 2nd, or a 3rd rounder. There are several guys I like in the 1st, Tampa is usually floating around in the 2nd and I like him hugely in that area, and Khyree Jackson is a fallback guy I like in the 3rd. We should be able to sign 1 FA pass-rusher. And we can draft a couple more. Repeat after me: "I trust in Brad Holmes. I am a believer."
