Motown Bombers

I can see where Sean Payton rubbed off on him and this Lions offense is similar to the Saints offense. The Saints run the ball a lot and relied on two backs. Goff and Brees have a similar skillset. Brees was never a big arm QB and relied on accuracy much the way Goff does. Those Saints teams were always aggressive on both sides of the ball much like this Lions team is.

I didn't have Trey Lance going 3rd last year, much less the 49ers trading three 1st round picks, so I think a QB will rise and the Lions are in a good position ahead of Houston. I would look at Carolina as a potential trade partner. Picking up a future 1st would be worth it to trade down.

I love how Trumpers would hammer Democrats on inner city crime and how they were going to dominate the suburbs and will turn around and vote for the police chief of the city with one of the highest crime rates in the country.

I live right down the road from Rinke Chevrolet. I knew that place was shysters.

He's going to get a head coaching job sooner or later. He'll probably get a lot of interviews to satisfy the Rooney rule.

Aaron Glenn already getting head coaching interviews.

Rick Spielman did work in the Lions front office back in the 90's. There's a connection there so I wouldn't be surprised.

There's a lot of buzz going around about the Giants and the Lions. The buzz around the Lions and Campbell has been positive. The buzz around Judge and the Giants is negative. Judge decided to mail it in. He ran three straight QB sneaks and punted on one drive. Players around the league want to play for a coach and team that wants to win. The Lions have the reputation of being a perpetual loser. You don't shake that image by throwing games to climb one spot up in the draft. A lot of these players may not be here when or if the Lions get good, but right now there is a lot more positive vibes around the Lions than teams like Jacksonville, Houston, Giants etc. This matters when trying to attract and retain talent.

If they go outside the organization, I would look at Ronald Curry of the Saints. A lot of overlap with the Campbell.

I'm old enough to remember when Campbell was the worst coach for electing to receive.

Any team that throws a game just to draft 1 instead of 2 will never win even if they get the 1st pick. There is still a great chance the Lions will get the player they want. If they don't, they will get a very good player. There is more than one player in this draft. Players don't care about draft position. They go out to win. If they see management purposely trying to lose a game for draft position, you will lose the locker room.

The Bears coming into this season were the 2nd oldest team in the league. Their defense was the oldest in the league. They've traded away multiple 1st round picks. The Lions meanwhile were the 2nd youngest in the league and have multiple 1st round picks. Unless Fields becomes an absolute stud, I think the Lions can over take the Bears even with Goff.

What are the chances the Lions add Rick Spielman to their front office? It would seem to make a lot of sense.

Brian Flores has been fired. Kind of surprised by that.

Kirk Cousins I believe has one more year on his contract, Aaron Rodgers days in Green Bay could be winding down, Justin Fields is still unproven, the NFC north could be wide open in a year or two and there for the taking for the Lions.

One part of my job is analyzing customer experience and the reputational risk and that also includes the automated phone system. On average, 45-50% of our calls can be handled through the automated system and don't even need to speak to an agent. If we didn't have an automated system, that means we would need to double the customer support staff and/or the customer would be on long waits. In my business, they are many specialties so routing customers to correct areas reducing transfers and hold time. Finally, our automated system is always being updated so the menu options do change regularly. I suspect that is the same with a lot of companies.

Over 200 people at my company have gotten COVID and that is with about 90% of the company working remote. Still no vaccine mandate.

After looking at it again, they let the play clock run down to 4 seconds. They didn't save much time. They could have saved 30 more seconds if they wanted to. My guess is Staley wanted to talk to his defense and let them know to play for the tie.

They ran it on 3 straight play at over 55 yards out. If they were truly playing to win, they would have at least attempted a pass to get closer and then ran on it. They seemed indifferent. The timeout by the Chargers came with only 4 seconds on the play clock so it really didn't save much time. The play was not stopping them on 3rd down.
