Motown Bombers

He'll be back in a year or two. Brees is gone and the Saints are in a terrible mess salary cap wise. He probably decided to bail on that train wreck. My prediction, barring some Super Bowl run, Mike McCarthy is fired and Payton is brough back to Dallas.

I would not. Sends a bad message to your players that a well liked coach is going to be discarded after one year because someone potentially better came along.

Why in the world would Payton step away from head coach to be an offensive coordinator? On top of that, he is still under contract with the Saints so the Lions would need to give the Saints compensation.

It's unfortunate Doocy isn't female. He could have then just said she had blood coming out of her wherever.

Wait, there was a conspiracy theory that children were using litter boxes in schools?

Not sure the point being made here, but Johnson was a generational talent putting up big numbers before Stafford and in the two seasons were Stafford missed a lot of time. Golladay was a receiver who never got separation. Guys like Tyrell Williams and Perriman averaged more yards of separation. Golladay is a receiver who is good at catching the ball in traffic and winning those 50/50 throws. Stafford is a gun slinger who can fit it in those tight windows. The combination worked well. Golden Tate is another receiver we forget that fell off rather dramatically after leaving Stafford and the Giants got burned on that one as well. Marvin Jones is the only one to really maintain his production.

Cautionary tale for signing WRs who played with elite QBs.

I think that's Samuel Norton.

Trumpers didn't seem to have a problem with Kyrie Irving. He wasn't told to shut up and dribble.

Orlovsky was brought back as a backup during the Caldwell days I believe. I think Orlovsky was a backup for the Colts when Caldwell was there at the time Stafford was drafted. Culpepper was the backup Stafford's first year and then Shaun Hill.

It should have been Stafford to Johnson to set up that game winning FG and Suh and Ansah in the backfield wreaking havoc on Brady. The foundation was there and yet couldn't put it together.

On a squib kick, does the clock start as soon as the returner touches the ball? Why wouldn't a returner just waive for a fair catch? Or whoever returned it just kneel? I guess at that point even kneeling and taking a second or two is huge.

My prediction now is the Rams will win the Super Bowl. Stafford will shock everyone and retire. The Rams completely fall apart and the Lions via the Rams pick will be picking 1st overall in 2023.

It's Rolling Stone so it's suspect.
