Motor City Sonics

So our 17th game this year is the Baltimore Ravens. Detroit vs. Baltimore might be a good fit for a game in Memphis, Knoxville, Happy Valley, maybe Toronto. I could say Columbus, but fuck Columbus.

I just turned 58. All I can say is that most of everything is bullshit, but what the hell, I know this now, so I am not gonna let it break my stride. I just wanted to find a way, any way, to reference Matthew Wilder on this board and now my work is done.

With the imbalanced schedule...............I was wondering if, instead of having a home/away imbalance at 9/8 or 8/9, why not have 17 neutral site games. 2 or 3 in London, 2 in Mexico City, 1 in Germany then some markets that don't have NFL football like Toronto, Orlando, San Antonio, Salt Lake City.........play some games in college stadiums.

You've been lied to your whole life. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you can move forward.

HALLE-FREAKING-LUJAH !!!!!!!!!!! I knew it wouldn't be much, but it needed to happen. The dimensions were ridiculous. They were playing in a canyon.

Hey everyone, it's "We Talked To A Black Guy Week" in the NFL.

I don't know why the Golden Globe voters seem to hate Better Call Saul, but Bob Odenkirk lost to Kevin Costner (great inside joke in there). On his worst day Bob can act circles around Costner.

Not that this matters in the grand scheme of things. Let me get this straight, ESPN's final NFL Power Rankings has the Lions at #15 and The Packers at #13. What the fuck? We beat 'em twice. You can stop kissing Aaron's ass, ESPN, nobody likes him (just like nobody likes you anymore.

College Football is a southern sport. Far more recruits come from the south, and while southern recruits do play for northern teams, the southern schools have almost all southern players. That's okay. we won the Civil War and that is more important.

Michigan would have given them a better game, but they didn't take TCU seriously and the coaches got cute early in the game.

So what? Chicago at #1 is not going to draft a QB and even if they trade that #1 pick to a team that needs one there are 3 or 4 top QBs out there). Plus, if it ever comes out officially that they sacked him for WINNING a game, I would imagine there will be punishment. I hope that happens. I hope they lose a draft pick over it. Take that #2 pick away from them. You can ask guys to knock their heads in for 3 hours and then not TRY to win when you have the chance. If you can't draft a future star at #2 then.......oh wait........it's the Texans, never mind. That team is a fucking disaster all the way around.

Go ahead, Repugnantcans - go after Medicare and Social Security............I dare ya..................you think the Abortion issue hurt you? LOL, just wait.

PLAYOFF PREDICTIONS SUPER WILD CARD 2 Tatanka over 7 Fish 3 Striped Cats over 6 Nevermore 4 Jagwires over 5 Stupid Staley 2 Mr. Irrelevant over 7 Grunge Music 6 G-Men over 3 Frozen Frauds 5 Dull-Ass over 4 Shouldn't be theres DIVISIONAL ROUND 1 Chiefs over 4 Jags 2 Bills over 3 Bengals 1 Eagles over 6 Giants 2 49ers over 5 Dallas CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY 2 Bills over 1 Chiefs at Neutral Site (probably Atlanta) 2 49ers over 1 Eagles SUPER BOWL BILLS beat NINERS

Why? We beat him twice this year and we swept him a couple of other times. I think they're fine against him now. Rodgers to the Lions is what Ohio State used to be to Michigan. Rodgers won't be back anyway, he looks fried. That ball he threw up that KJ picked off in the 4th quarter was like a Zach Wilson throw.

Easiest prediction ever.

Plus the new uniforms and helmet logo..............A roaring Lion head on the helmet is my guess.

GPS, man. G...........P...........S

Typically momentum doesn't carry over year-to-year, but confidence does and this team is confident. They've got swagger, they've got balls, and they BELIEVE in themselves and that will mean a lot. For the offseason - Hope Ben Johnson doesn't take a Head Coaching job. Arizona just feels like a fit for him. If he leaves, go get Frank Reich. - Sign Jamaal. He's more important than Swfit right now. He's the 1A. He's also kind of the heart of the team in a lot of ways. - There will be a ton of QB movement again this year (I'll post my predictions later). There will likely be some pretty decent guys available that could be a backup here with potential to be a starter. Draft. I would like the idea of trading down from 6 if THE guy is not there. I doubt that happens, because we ALWAYS want that to happen and it never does. I think it's far more likely that they maneuver up from 17 than down from 6. Draft (Top 5 Picks for Lions) 2 CBs (or 1 CB and 1 Safety) 1 RB 1 Interior D Lineman 1 LInebacker Free Agency. Sign another TE Sign a really good LB. Upgrade at Backup QB. Get more depth a CB Position Groups Quarterbacks - Goff is fine. He struggles outside, but perfect guys are hard to come by. Absolutely need to really upgrade backup. Seems like they just never had a plan here. At some point Goff will get hurt Running Backs - Resign Jamaal. He means a lot to the team. 2 years. Pay him. Need to draft one in the Top 4 rounds, Swift isn't sturdy enough. Wide Receivers - Had a great season. Re-sign Chark, if you can. We add a gamebreaker next year anyway Tight Ends - They got a lot out of this group, but they probably could use an upgrade. It doesn't have to be a high pick Offensive Line - The best in the NFL? Can make that argument. Didn't need Vaitai this year (he was great as a guard in 2021). Defensive Line - I don't think Levi will ever be a factor. With that pick at #6. Bears & Cardinals need O-Lineman. Texans and Colts need QBs. Seattle could do just about anything. There will be a very very good D-Lineman available in the draft and that will absolutely solidify the group. Linebackers - Looks better at the end than it did at the beginning but still needs a couple of players to round it out. One in the draft and go get a big free agent difference maker. Go get Roquan Smith. Secondary - This is the weakest part of the team. With so much draft capital they should be able to add 2 rookies. Okudah was up and down, but much better than he looked with the Rocket Scientist. They need Walker to come back healthy and strong, and still draft a safety. I could see a lot of changes in this group. Special Teams - Badgley is a good kicker, they could do worse, but going after Jake Moody with the last draft pick (if he's there) might be a shrewd move. I know kickers don't get drafted anymore but he is one of the best college kickers of all time and he hit a lot of clutch ones too. Punter is locked up (and also a third string QB?)

Rex Ryan just now "Whether Aaron stays or not, the North doesn't go through Green Bay anymore, the North is going through Detroit the next five years". Hope he's right.

They celebrated like they made the playoffs and that's awesome. They were not deflated after Seattle's win. That's the part that should have us excited for next year. They made Rodgers eat his words. They aren't SOL at all. Too many chances for that to come up and it didn't. The horrible loss in Carolina? All teams have a couple games like that every year. The Lions are the only team in the NFC North to finish the regular season with a positive point differential. They actually finished 4th over all in the NFC in that stat, ahead of playoff teams the Giants, VIkings, Buccs, and Seahawks.

but at least they were over .500

G P S GAME PLAY SPEED Its some secret metric that Brad Holmes has to analyze players. Seems like it might be working
