he cost them the game. missed a wide open ridley earlier in that drive and then threw terrible balls on 3rd and 4th down with no pressure. the real problem, of course, is ownership. the guy who hired urban meyer is calling the shots.

believe all women, right? /ducks

did we learn nothing from brandon staley?

so is goff.

lions cornerbacks are bad. that's not going to change next week.

so the only drama left about who gets in is the seattle or green bay or new orleans question. pack is in with a win. seahawks are in with a win and a pack loss. saints are in if the pack and seahawks both lose.

welp, there goes the drama for tonight's game. you really have to start asking questions about trevor lawrence. he was not good in this game.

campbell is very bad at challenging calls.

he should be. that's a team that should be looking at jim harbaugh.

all 8 jacksonville fans are probably really mad right now.

ausar is not a stud perimeter player. he's not even close. he's a small step up from hamadou diallo at this point. duren has a chance to be a rim protecting roll man. that's a valuable piece. if he doesnt develop, then fine. but you need at least one playable big. youre jumping 3 years down the road on his contract. if he's worth $25m per then he developed into something more than andre drummond and worth keeping around. stewart isnt quick enough to guard the perimeter and not big enough to guard bigs down low. he gets by in the regular season but if he's traded and gets into the playoffs he'll get exposed.

now can we take the starters out?

get the starters out of the game. please.

the only thing they needed from this game was to come out of it healthy. so this game is already a loss, no matter what the scoreboard says.

duren shoots better than ausar already and he's one of the youngest players in the league. he has potential to be a defensive center with midrange. i'm going to see if he can get there before i give up on him. not sure why people are slobbering over ausar and claiming isaiah stewart is valuable while looking to get rid of duren at the first possibility.

why is nobody talking about what a ****ty job greg popovich is doing?

more weak sauce from the league. i miss david stern sometimes.

depends on the other matchups. whoever dallas plays will get the best ratings no matter when the game is held. does the nfl want that in prime time? kc-buffalo would also be a marquee matchup. other than that, is there another appealing matchup that doesnt involve detroit? philly-tampa or new orleans? blah. miami-indy or houston? jacksonville against anyone? i guess miami-pittsburgh would have some juice. other than anything involving kc, buffalo, or dallas, i dont see anything more attractive to the networks than detroit-green bay. eveb detroit-LA has the stafford angle (which i agree with bonghit doesnt have the juice everywhere else that lions fans seem to think it has) and - more importantly - the LA tv market.

petry will get nothing much, if anything. gostisbehere and perron will get you something decent. maybe not a first round pick, but close.

are you damning with faint praise? 🙂

detroit-green bay might be.

ed hochuli is a defense attorney in phoenix. lots of carriers use his firm. i saw him once at a convention and he is HUGE! dude looked like the hulk. he was walking around waiting for someone to notice him. and yes, he was practicing while reffing on the weekends. i dont think it makes a difference if theyre full time or not. they only play games on the weekends, its not like mlb or the nba where they play multiple times a week and need full time officials. human error by the refs is part of the game. however, the league and refs should be accountable for their mistakes, which is not what happened here.

i have a feeling buium is on the taro hirose path to AAAA stardom. if he makes it. he's been in college an awful long time.

gostisbehere is gone after this year (or this year at the deadline). maata will be gone after next year. plenty of time for prospects to come up. was edvinsson really that good when he played this year? does he need more time in the nhl? yes. but he didnt light the world on fire when he was here. he'll be a regular next year. the others on your list still need time to see if theyre good enough. theyre not nhl players right now. only edvinsson is being blocked now.

what do all those teams have in common? tom gores.
