If you can't find immediate help at #6 and #17 in the draft, then you shouldn't be an NFL GM. I was hoping for 7-10 this year, so this year was great progress. I kind of figured the playoff chase was over when they lost in Carolina. The first Vikings game was such a killer.

The Lions were in the playoff hunt until the last 4 hours of the season. That's a huge jump. Next year they will be the glamorous pick to win the NFC North, if not the NFC itself.........especially with Aaron Rodgers going to the Titans or Raiders. NOW DESTROY ALL HOPE IN GREEN BAY !

He could miss again..........

Oh no.....................Now that's the most Lions thing ever and it wasn't even the Lions doing it.

74 more catches for his bonus!

Do you think Stafford is cheering his guts out for the benefit of the Lions? I bet he is.

WOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!

Oooo, I just saw Tim Boyle's numbers. I'm guessing Blough was better.

Who was better?

Few things bring me as much joy as having Matt Patricia fail. Bye Bye Patriots. Packers............you next. (I know, my life is sad)

Here's some bold predictions. Buffalo, on an emotional high, destroys New England while the Jets beat Miami and Pittsburgh beats Cleveland, giving the Steelers the 7th spot. The Seahawks beat the Rams and then the Lions beat the Packers giving Seattle the #7 slot THEN HERE COMES BLACK MONDAY........... #1 - The Titans fire Mike Vrabel #2 Then the Dolphins fire Mike McDaniel - not over the collapse, but the mishandling of Tua, #3 Then, in a shocking move, Bill Belichick announces his retirement as Head Coach, but will remain as General Manager and he names..........wait for it.............WAIT FOR IT..........No, not Patricia........details below #4 The Cardinals fire Kliff Kingsbury #5 Sean McVay resigns as Rams Head Coach and gets a TV gig eventually #6 The Commanders fire Ron Rivera #7 The Colts fire Jeff Saturday -------------------------------------------------------- The Dolphins hire Jim Harbaugh, Head Coach, University of Michigan The Patriots hire Bill O'Brien (He was a good coach, but horrible GM) The Titans hire Ken Dorsey, Bills OC The Rams trade this year's 2nd round pick in 2023, a #1 in 2024 and a #4 in 2025 to the Saints for the rights to Sean Payton The Commanders hire Lou Anaromo, Bengals DC The Colts hire DeMarco Ryans, 49ers DC The Cardinals hire Ben Johnson, Lions OC The Lions hire Frank Reich as the new OC The Michigan Wolverines hire PJ Fleck as Head Coach (Minnesota then hires Matt Campbell) In the draft Houston takes Bryce Young, QB Alabama at #1 Bears take Will Anderson, DE, Alabama at #2 Seahawks (from Denver) take C.J. Stroud, QB Ohio State at #3 Cardinals take Peter Skoronski, OT Northwester at #4 Lions (from Rams) take Jalen Carter, DT, Georgia at #5 Colts take Will Levis, QB Kentucky at #6 Lions take Cam Smith, CB South Carolina at #18 Dolphins trade up into the first round to take Tua Insurance, Anthony Richardson, QB Florida Lions take Andre Carter, OLB Army at #49 (2nd round) Lions take Jordan Battle, S Alabama at #61 NFL QB Carousel tomorrow..........the gummies have kicked in.

What is that, warm bodies on the roster?

Looks like we have a Phish Head in our group. Phish Heads Phish Heads Poly Poly Phish Heads Phish Heads Phish Heads Eat them up, yum

Holy Shit............Doug Pederson was holding up a a copy of TOMORROW'S newspaper. GLITCH IN THE MATRIX The AFC South champion was thrashed by the Lions 40-14.

Does he have a bank account there?

I don't know if he eats breakfast cereal with Gatorade. How can you trust that? I still think Matt Campbell is high up there, despite the bad year. Iowa State is not exactly a football mecca. O'Brien. I don't know...........I think they would want to go younger. Promoting from within - that's the Mike Macdonald angle. He's not there now, but he part of the family and connected to both Harbaugh brothers. That makes him the inside guy in this scenario since they really have nobody else ready to step into that. If Mike Hart was an OC, I'd say maybe. Plus there might be a health issue. If Michigan hadn't gotten thrashed by TCU so badly, Minter might be okay, but, no, probably not now.

I can see Miggy having some "back issues" this season..............he clearly hinted that he didn't really want to come back, but he wasn't going to retire with 32 million on the table. I'd be shocked if he played more than 70 games this year. Go get me Donovan Solano. .350 OBP after his 2 year absence Former Giants player, so Scott knows him. Can probably get him for 6 million So if they can sign Solano (how sad that my hopes rest on fucking Donovan Solano)) C - Haase/Rogers. I think this was the plan all along. Sands is insurance. Rogers will be ready, he could have played at the end of last year. 1b - Vierling - Unless Tork absolutely tears it up in spring training, I think he starts in Toledo and has to earn his way back. Vierling can cover 3b and LF when Tork destroys Triple A pitching out of pure anger. 2b - Schoop. One of the best defensive 2b in baseball does not need to be moved. SS - Baez - We'd be better off with him at 2b, but we have no real options here, yet 3b - Solano - We have no natural 3b, so he'll have to do. He can cover SS and 2b too. RF - Austin Meadows - His 162 game average is .259/.334/.475. That would be nice. Don't have to baby him with lots of DH time. He's only 27 - either he can play or he can't. CF - Greene - The most solid guy in the lineup already? Lets not turn him into a superstar, only to be disappointed LF - Carpenter/Baddoo - Both left-handed. Maybe Malloy comes into play if he keeps that OBP high in Toledo DH - Cabrera, though I can easily see more starts here for a combination of other players. Bench guys......Lipcius & Maton. I think Kriedler would be better off playing every day in Toledo, even thought the way AJ juggles players, few sit on the bench for long stretches. Rotation on Opening Day E Rodriguez - Matt Manning - Matthew Boyd - Mike Lorenzen - (Beau Brieske, Joey Wentz or Wilmer Flores) I fully expect Manning to end up on the long term DL. No idea what to expect from Boyd, he throws much harder now? Mike Lorenzen - a starter? he hasn't thrown 100 innings since 2015. How healthy is Brieske. Was Wentz a fluke. Flores will be the big Spring Training buzz. Bullpen Alexander - Cisnero - Englert - Foley - R Garcia - Lange - Turnbull - Vest Closer by committee (Lange, Foley, Vest).

Gregory Soto is a pimp. He could never have outfought Alex Lange. Who is our closer? Well, does it matter? Gotta have leads first. Leads? The good leads. And to you they're gold, only you don't get them. To give them to you would just be like throwing them away They're for closers only

A couple other NFL names that could be in the mix Mike Vrabel (if he is fired) Mike McDaniel, just a name, I think they'd have to hire someone who has been at least a Coordinator for a successful Power 5 team

I feel like it's only a matter of days before something happens. Right after Black Monday. I guess he'll only go to place where he doesn't have to interview. Miami and Indy are the top two in that regard. I think the #1 candidate to replace him would be Mike Macdonald, 35. Others of interest Matt Campbell, Iowa State HC, 43 years old Dan Lanning, DC at Georgia 36 Todd Monken, Georgia OC, 58 Tony Elliott, Virginia HC, 43 Bill O'Brien, Former Penn State coach, 53 Dave Aranda, Baylor Head Coach, 46 P.J. Fleck, Minnesota 42 Graham Harrell, Purdue OC, 37 Mark Stoops, Kentucky Head Coach, 55 Kliff Kingsbury, Soon to be former Arizona Cardinals Coach, 43 Jesse Minter, Michigan DC Mike Hart, Michigan Run Game Coordinator Scott Frost, former Neb.........just kidding Other names.......please. and no, Urban Meyer will not be offered the job. And I don't think it has to be a "Michigan Man" this time. A couple things on Mike Macdonald. Why doesn't he capitalize the first D? And if I hear Yah Mo Be There one more time I'm gonna Yah Mo burn this place to the ground.

The NCAA is a cesspool. Having them discipline teams is like having a corporation do their own investigation into a faulty part or a dangerous side effect. But still, don't lie, don't cover up. Don't go all Nixon on 'em.

Give me the Jags. Mostly to cement what an asshole Urban Meyer was but also to avoid an 8-9 in the playoffs.

Rumors abound that if Miami loses and misses the playoffs that Mike McDaniel and the GM could be out. Keep an eye on that one, because that is where Harbaugh would go and he would probably get GM-type power. Remember Stephen Ross is a Michigan guy and has donated a ton to the school. Harb-Odds 1. Colts 2. Panthers 3. Broncos 4. Cardinals 5. Commanders if McDaniel is fired 1. Dolphins - By far. 2. Colts 3. Panthers Who cares after that.

So help me with this because I lost track a long time ago.............. What is the thing with Hunter Biden, anyway? Is it that he benefitted by being the son of a Senator/Vice President? Because that has never, ever happened before. Just like Aunt Becky bribing her kids into to USC never ever happened before she did it. Just in a few sentences, enlighten me, because I refused to read any of their bullshit conspiracy-laden blogs. (I know it's just so they can get at Joe, but Hunter does not work in the administration like someone else's kids did).
