I kind of thought Josh McDaniels alienating his QB and best WR in Denver and reneging on the Colts would rub people the wrong way but apparently not. I would say his downfall in Detroit was an immaturity showed by the team. Those Lions teams always had a knack for personal foul penalties at the most inopportune times.

I'm still surprised Jim Schwartz doesn't seem to get any interest at all. I thought he was deserving of another chance.

I simply don't get it.

A former NFL coach who coached in a Super Bowl even if it is Jeff Fisher seems like a good get for a league that will probably only last 1 year.

No I didn't liar. I predicted 5 wins. I also in no way shape or form said Stafford and Goff are a wash. You're just flat out making shit up now.

And some good fortunate could get them to 9 wins which has a good chance of winning the division.

The Packers played almost all their starters including Rodgers in the first half and were still losing at half. The Lions were basically playing a lot of practice squad players against their reserves. It's highly likely the Packers will be starting Love next year so apparently that's one less team to worry about.

The Lions lost 3 games on last second FGs, tied one game, lost the Cleveland game by 3, and had a chance to win the Atlanta game before throwing an INT in the endzone. I was also surprised to find that there were 5 teams with a worse point differential than the Lions including the 7 win Falcons. They have 3 picks in the top 34 and better luck with injuries and they should be improved. Talks about winning the division though are more an indictment on how poor the division looks vs the Lions be substantially better.

I was thinking this myself. With Rodgers gone, Goff would probably be the 2nd best QB in the division at worse behind Cousins. Minnesota has cap issues themselves and a declining defense. The Bears are old with free agents but have cap space and a potential young QB. Without Rodgers in the division I could see the Lions taking it and I can also see the Lions finishing last.

I really don't think the decision is up to the Packers. Given Rodgers age, the Packers free agents and cap situation, it may be best to start the rebuild now and load up on picks.

So here is the Giants owner basically telling his management that Daniel Jones is the QB. I don't suspect Sheila is forcing Goff on management nor telling them who and when to draft a QB.

I thought everyone was in agreement that Kenny Loggins was Jesus?

School of choice is becoming a thing here. I live in a school of choice district and there are probably just as many Detroiters in the schools.

I'm so shocked it's happening in Virginia. Who could have seen it coming?

Only hiring from good teams is how you end up with guys like Matt Patricia. Mike Vrabel was defensive coordinator for only one year. The Texans were 4-12 in that year. Their defense ranked dead last in the NFL. He was still hired and went on to become a successful head coach. Teams should expand their search into teams with bad records to find coaches getting the most out of their players.

According to Kelly, Suh doesn't like Stafford. https://www.freep.com/story/sports/nfl/lions/2022/01/25/matthew-stafford-wife-ndamukong-suh-kelly-stafford-los-angeles-rams-detroit-lions/9212788002/ I'm also glad we weren't subjected to this podcast in Detroit.

I never actually cared for Payton after the bounty scandal. He could suspended for that in the offseason following the Lions playoff game there. Rumor has it there was a bounty on Stafford and Johnson.

I wouldn't be surprised if Jerry Jones ponied up a 1st round pick ala a Jon Gruden type deal with Tampa.
