Motown Bombers

If the Packers are good enough to beat the Cowboys and 49ers on the road, they're good though to beat the Lions. I just feel better about the 49ers to be honest.

The problem with the Panthers job isn't just the roster, it's the ownership. You have an impatient owner who likes to meddle.

Last time these two teams played, Sutton had a really good game. Possibly his best game of the season. Sutton is a physical corner who matches up better against more physical receivers who aren't as twitchy like Jefferson, Lamb and Nacua.

I just can't with the pearl clutching from someone who expected a hero's welcome after saying living in Michigan was like living under a dictatorship.

It's what they do.

Goff has one of the lowest pressure to sack rates in the NFL. Only Allen and Mahomes are lower. That is absolutely crazy considering Goff has no mobility at all. He has scrambled a total of 7 times all year. That's right, 7. His ability to hang in the pocket and not take sacks is really underrated.

"Kelly Stafford says her 5-year-old daughter “started crying on the field” over the treatment their family received from some fans at Ford Field before the Rams-Lions wild-card playoff game Sunday night. On Tuesday’s edition of her weekly podcast, the wife of Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford said she and their four daughters — ages 3 to 6 — were subjected to loud boos from the stands as they tried to navigate their way between sidelines on the field before the game. “I had to explain to two of my daughters. Hunter started crying on the field,” Kelly Stafford said. “Listen, this is not everybody. This is the fans that are the loudest. ... But that’s sports. “But I will say one thing — we’re not playing the game. My girls and I are not playing the game. And I know my girls are not getting booed. I am. And I can handle it. But when I have my girls next to me there’s something to be said about maybe not.” I don't think she is able to handle it.

It's funny, everyone says blitz Goff and he'll get rattled despite being excellent against the blitz. Hurts is bad against the blitz. He's also reverted to his 2021 self and not the 2022 self. He took a safety when the line of scrimmage was the 8 yard line. He drifted so far back and then try to roll out of it and took a safety.

This pass chart by Hurts against Tampa is wild. Nothing in the middle of the field.

The interior of the Bucs OL is weaker so you may want to try to have another pass rushing type DT like Levi but I would still activate Houston over Levi.

I would inactivate Levi. They added him to the 53 so they must plan on playing him soon. He could have went back to IR if they had no intention of playing him.

The Lions are on this graphic.

McNeil has been really underrated this year.

I feel confident this won't happen against the Lions.

Really good practice report. Probably only Raymond will be out.

If the Lions win the Super Bowl, they should give McVay a ring.

Stephon Gilmore is a free agent. He's getting up in age but he was still good. Would come on a short term contract. Would be a nice stopgap if you draft a young CB.

A 26 year old who hasn't even thrown a pre-season pass probably doesn't have much value. It would be less than the pick used to draft him. Might as well keep him and develop him into a backup.

If Houston is anything like he was last year, this is going to be big. Imagine that 3rd and 16 the rams converted if the Lions had Houston and Hutchinson able to just go all out pass rush.
