  1. just as good as the niners and eagles though. this might be the worst defense in the conference.
  2. i think ausar is getting nothing but positive press everywhere. if anything, the fact that he cant shoot at all is not being talked about enough.
  3. caps, lol. that wont last.
  4. they were out of it by then. that was one of the best lions defenses but the offense was not so great.
  5. shut up popp you pompous ass.
  6. really needed that win.
  7. my dad still talks about that 9-7 loss to green bay. still hates milt plum.
  8. are you new? is this the first time you've met those two fine fellows?
  9. i'm surprised the lions didnt put up a banner for their win over the bye week...
  10. i hate valenti but he's right. 12 mins and 47 secs? i could rant like that about the pistons for an hour.
  11. and just to complete the rant, he traded luke kennard and bruce brown and picks to get bey! if all the injured players come back and it seems to make a difference and theyre decent down the stretch MAYBE he can stay. if it were me i would have fired weaver already. if they still suck when their role players are healthy then he definitely has to go. he is god awful at asset management, which is his second biggest job outside of the talent evaluation in the draft.
  12. think of all the assets the pistons have poured into the center position: trading junk for bagley, trading bey for wiseman, trading multiple picks to move up and get duren, trading a future first to get stewart. and for what? duren looks good. everyone else is either a limited role player (stewart), a useless piece of trash (wiseman), or a limited second team offense only player (bagley). none of them are good rebounders except duren and that's mostly because he's an amazing athlete. we all talked about cap space and finally getting blake and andre and svg's mistakes off the books and what has it gotten us? NOTHING! second round picks and garbage role players. that's it. this franchise really makes me angry.
  13. i think that ohtani kid might develop into something...
  14. orlando and okc are a combined 19-9. the pistons are 2-12. #firetroyweaver
  15. fields hasnt played like that all season. the bears finally did what they SHOULD do with fields: let. him. run. if they keep doing that they will score points on other defenses too. they sat him in the pocket for the first 5 or so games of the season and he looked awful. cause he cant do it. what he CAN do is run. and he did it effectively against detroit. this year and last year (in chicago, the game in detroit the bears quit).
  16. https://sports.yahoo.com/is-college-athletics-headed-for-the-great-split-we-need-to-recreate-or-relaunch-the-ncaa-160523061.html the end is nigh and they know it. they know that the athletes will soon be legally employees and that the next step is unionization and collective bargaining. its the only thing that will keep their salaries intact. the "revenue sharing" will be what breaks them up. why should michigan and ohio state share anything with rutgers and northwestern? they bring nothing to the table. schools like indiana and purdue have basketball, but that's not nearly the moneymaker football is. they'll be lucky if the big boys decide to bring them along (they have to play somebody!). once the players are getting paid you'll see smaller college football end or change substantially. no way central michigan can afford to pay many players. or perhaps the mac teams of the world just form their own payment structure that is on another, much lower tier? maybe we see those types of schools become a feeder league for the power 5 teams like the ncaa is for the nfl right now?
  17. i actually think the defense wasnt all that awful against the bears. only 26 points allowed with 4 turnovers by the offense - some in plus territory - isnt that bad. the lack of pass rush is still a concern. jerry jacobs at corner is a continued concern. jack campbell getting lost in coverage is still a concern. but that is what it is. that's a talent issue not a scheme issue. they should beat the packers. they actually really need to beat them given the vikings' upcoming schedule.
  18. eagles-chiefs was the most watched mnf game in 25 years.
  19. monte morris getting an injection in his back. will be re-evaluated in 6-8 weeks. so he might be able to practice by february. helluva job by the medical staff clearing that trade
  20. just win the division. seeding will take care of itself.
  21. as does the university. its nice for them to expand the stadium to accomodate more michigan, ohio state, wisconsin, penn state and nebraska fans.
  22. that article is the usual JEIII list of excuses for Weaver. when he writes anything that is even mildly critical of weaver, let me know. the only time i've ever heard him criticize weaver was a very mild criticism that the bagley contract was a bit of an overpay. nary a criticism of bey while he was here, and nary a criticism of the weisman return for bey. nothing on how monumentally bad this team has been for four straight seasons. just lots of stuff on how great stewart is, how cade is the best, blah blah blah. not one article on how this team doesnt work around cade. just one excuse after another for a gm with the worst record of all time. i expect the team to be mildly better if morris and bogey ever get healthy. if they dont, that will be the excuse. if they do come back and the pistons are more competitive but still losing, it will be "they're on the right track." more bs from the pistons media department, aka the beat writers.
  23. that was always going to be approved. over the objections of the people in evanston who object to everything Northwestern tries to do. and it was always going to be approved by the politicians who will give northwestern whatever it wants.
  24. since trading for james wiseman the pistons are 4-35.
