All things being equal I'd like either an interior o lineman or d lineman. Continue to build the team from the inside out.

So there's a chance he makes it back for the NBA Finals?

Pistons currently 8.5 point favorites on the road, when is the last time that has happened?

To me the one game I feel most confident about is Baltimore over Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh just looks like a mess of late and according to metrics like DVOA Baltimore has not only been the best team in the league this year but one of the best in the last 30 some years. I think that one could be a massacre..... which means Pitt will probably end up winning. Wouldn't bother me, I'd rather not have to face Lamar and Henry in the Super Bowl.

Yeah for sure. It's always funny though how if you go from say projected 6 wins to 10 people put more stock in it than going from say 11 to 15 even though you overachieved by the same amount of wins. Like the Lions for instance had an over/under of 10.5 going into the year and that of course couldn't of factored in all the injuries or a team like Minnesota being so much better.

Is there a reason why they couldn't just have half the teams get a bye in say week 8 and the other half in week 9? You're still going to get 18 regular season weeks of football, sure those 2 bye weeks will feature less "local games" since there will only be 8 games total each week but maybe you can make up for any lost revenue in that by bidding out some Saturday Night Prime Time games?

I remember thinking that it would take a semi miracle to get to 30 wins, I guess I underrated how bad many other teams are this year and just how negative of influence the coaching has been the last few years. Bickerstaff looks like Red Auerbach compared to Monty and Casey.

I remember hearing that zero on the clock isn't technically zero but more like .99, that's why they give it an extra second. I think the NBA Shot clock used to be like that until they ended up including decimals with it.

Considering the Vikings loss to the Rams came on a Thursday after facing the Lions you can say that the Lions may have had a hand in some ways in all 3 of their losses.

Campbell just said Arnold's x rays were negative but he is still pretty "tender", will know more tomorrow.

We could be looking at this same matchup in 2 weeks, even though we are clearly the better team I don't know how I feel about having to face and beat a team 3 times in a season.

Just hand the ball off to Reynolds the rest of the way.

Just don't do anything stupid, kill some clock and maybe pick up a 1st down or 2.

K that kinda offsets the 4th down fail, after that I was partially expecting to be down 3 going into the half instead we are in the same spot we were before ahead by 4.

Just the wrong time to do that, no need to go for a big play in that situation. Just get the 1st down and chew up clock and get into half time with a likely 10-3 or 14-3 lead.

Looks like a 1st to me but things can be tough to overturn so we'll see.

Brutal series, among the worst we've seen all season. Still shocked Goff threw that ball though, he almost always grounds those ones.

The Lions defense is going to need opposing QBs to miss some throws and we got fortunate with one there.

Weird stat but assuming the Lions don't get the ball back the rest of the quarter I think that would mean Goff went all season without throwing a 1st quarter TD. Pretty wild.

4th down decision nets +4 possibly +7 if Bates missed the 57 yarder.

That run play might have worked if the Lions didn't whiff on the block, still though don't agree with the call. They may have been trying to set up a 4th and short but still didn't care for it.

Ausar with 5 steals in just 10 minutes of action tonight.

Yeah, I often think back to that game against Chicago in the first week of the year last year and how exciting the offense looked. They were running up and down the court finishing with highlight reel plays. Haven't replicated that performance nearly enough the past year and a half.

That's the play I was talking about in my previous post, so sweet, was only half watching so didn't realize it was to Ausar and not Duren like I thought.

Meant to post it at the time of the play but I loved the off the backboard lob from Cade to Duren early in the game. That was sweet! Waiting to see somebody post a highlight of it on x.
