The Red Sox of old would've jumped in on Correa with the Story news, perhaps they are conceding that this won't be there year even if they got him so no reason to sacrifice future payroll for him.

Damn Goff was closer to Mahomes than anybody was to Goff.

I also just want to add that I'm clearly happy with Hutch and I think he is the total package I also think it's too soon to write off Walker and Thibs and just anoint Hutch the victor out of the three cause we have to remember that Hutch was always seen as the most pro ready guy while the other two were more raw so it should be expected that Hutch had the strongest 1st year. Lets see in a couple years where things stand. I have a feeling that in the end all 3 teams will be happy with the players they got although some of Thibs actions on the field kinda concern me like making the "go to sleep" sign while the qb is getting carted off the field, but for now I'll just chalk that up to immaturity.

I see it Sauce, Woolen and Hutch for DPOY and honestly I have no problem with that. Just about every other year Hutch would clearly win but Sauce and Woolen have been unicorns this year at cornerback and while Hutch has been elite the second half of the year he was pretty average the first half where as those two have been elite just about the whole season.

Even Sheila was in the locker room for this one, Campbell gave her a game ball and said she is the best owner around. Yeah you're not going to talk bad about your boss but I don't think coaches before would have gone out of their way to put over previous Fords.

Don't get me wrong I want him to stay but if he wants to be a HC it would probably be in his best interest to strike while the iron is hot cause you never know what tomorrow will bring. Right now he may be the flavor of the month in regards to the hot shot young OCs go but next year they're could be 4 or 5 new guys come along and he just gets pushed back in the line, especially if the Lions offense takes a step back next year.

Texans have put in a request to interview Johnson. I know theres only so many openings so beggars can't be choosers but I hope for his sake he can land a better job than that dumpster fire of an organization.

Hopefully Edwards doesn't decide to enter the portal now that Corrum is back.

Amani was no doubt dreadful this year but he looked like a promising young player who made plays last year so Id be open to see if we can bring that player back out of him. It's not unheard of for young players to have a set back or bad year only to bounce back and considering the lack of depth there what would it really hurt to try?

You never know who's going to make a meteoric rise in the draft so guys we think we have no chance at like Anderson and Carter could potentially fall to us despite it seeming like a pipe dream at this moment. I mean this time last year basically everybody thought it was going to be Thibs or Hutch at 1 and Thibs ended falling to number 5. So who knows, hell Anthony Richardson seems to be flying up the mock draft boards if he puts up a monster combine teams may fall in love with him and there could be 4 QBs off the board before we pick. You just never know.

Interesting tidbit the Lions haven't lost on a Sunday since before Halloween so we made it through November, December and a couple weeks in January without having our Sundays ruined by the Lions.

There is no mythical "momentum" that carries over year to year but what there might be is belief and motivation. When you feel like you're on the right trajectory and getting close to taking that next step it makes you want to put in that extra work that much more. It's much like how guys seem to perform well in contract years cause they go balls to wall in the offseason to make sure they are at their best because they are super motivated. When you have a team full of young players it's far easier to get them to buy in to hitting the gym harder and working harder when they see the results of doing so vs. going 2-15 or whatever. Again though it doesn't guarantee anything next year but finishing strong is certainly better on the morale than the alternative.

BTW what happened to Bombers? Did he get banned or something cause I haven't seen him on here in a while. I figured he'd be on here basking in the glory of the Lions strong finish with us.

It's BS that an 8-9 Bucs team is not only in the playoffs but gets to host the 1st round.

Yeah there's no sugar coating Goff did not play very well(even though if you add that 75 yard Jamo TD that was taken away his numbers would look alot better) but he didn't turn the ball over and he made some big 3rd/4th down throws. If your QB plays like that in a "bad game" in tough conditions then you can live with it, especially if you have a strong running game like we have and should continue to have in the near future.

I may be misremembering but I vaguely remembering their being conditions to the Hockenson trade like if Minnesota wins a playoff game we receive a better pick from them? If that is accurate this could be a good thing for us having them play the Giants.

Yeah that timeout isn't going to come back to haunt us.....

You can call hands to face on almost every single play if you wanted to but it never gets called. Such bullshit.

lol that was the first thing I thought of when they ruled Raymond down at the 1.

By the way the adolescent in me can't help but giggle a bit inside when I see the road team with a score of 6 and home team 9.

It looks like they weren't even going to do anything about that, it wasn't until Douglas was caught retaliating a Skipper push when they threw the flag.

It'll get overturned, they'll say he didn't have complete control before going out of bounds.
