bulls gave up 150 to the twolves w/o gobert or kat. now all the "lavine isnt happy" shams tweets are coming out. they just gave donovan a contract extension AND just gave lavine a max deal. and now the fans want to blow it all up. lolbulls. so nice to see them suck after derozan bailed them out all last year with that horsehoe stuck up his butt.

otoh, the lions run defense has been outstanding lately.

so is zach wilson and he just passed for 300 yards and left a ton of plays on the field. i'm a bit worried about the lions secondary again. they looked awful against the jets. can we re-hire aubrey pleasant again so dan campbell can fire him?

i think belichick is the greatest coach in nfl history. theyve found and developed a lot of players who, when they leave, turn out to be terrible. he won 16 games in one of the greatest seasons of all time, he's done it multiple years in a salary cap environment that is tough to keep teams together. guys like chuck noll did it with one group of amazing players over a 5-6 year period then flamed out as a coach. landry did it over multiple teams, shula too. neither won like belichick. the guy who may be underrated as an all time coach is andy reid. and dan campbell, of course...

it was $5 billion but sarver made him take britney and the mercury.

for what? anyone could have had him for free. nobody will give you anything for czarnik. the bigger questions are whether anyone will give them anything now for bertuzzi.... .....or larkin?

which guarantees it will be top 3. ask derrick rose.

so much internet ink spilled on a nothingburger like jeimar candelario. must be a slow offseason.

on the one hand, watching the bulls' mismatched roster full of guys who can score one on one but dont play a lick of defense implode has been so much fun. on the other hand, i dread the draft lottery where the league gives them wembanyama or henderson.

i dont hate rodgers. he beats the bears and rubs their noses in it. the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

i think this has already been a successful season, even if they dont make the playoffs. heck, even if they lose their last three.

i dont think nfl teams tank, i think theyre just bad. houston has taken dallas and kc to the wire two weeks in a row. they just cant finish. same with the injured rams and denver. the broncos just smoked the cards. the cards arent tanking, they just suck.

i know you do. but youre not an obnoxious ass.

everyone is excited. you can be excited while also being nervous because youve seen the lions fail before in similar situations. its ok to want them to win - even to think they should win - while also being scared they wont win.

yes, but you can admit you were wrong and not be an obnoxious ass about it.

thanks for proving my point.

bump.

remember how you said he was washed up and the lions were right trade him? and then fought about it for a couple years? how's teez tabor doing?

how's darius slay doing?

im fine being wrong. how about you?

i think your overall point was valid. the lions have upgraded their talent. more imoortantly, they greatly uograded their management talent.

bump.

always have to have those who will be the complete homer and praise whatever move the lions make, but then if the team fails will say they knew it all along because they said they would win 5-7 games back in june.

in 2000 the lions were 9-6 and only needed to beat a 4 win bears team with cade mcnown at qb to clinch a playoff berth. at home. first, lions fans knew because the game was not sold out. second, what we all knew would happen did happen as the lions lost to the bears on a last second 50+ yard field goal and they were out of the playoffs. after the game, wcf cleaned house and hired matt millen to direct the franchise. we spent the next 20 years wandering in the wilderness that was bad even by lions standards. so let us not assume that this team is beating anyone until it actually does. /oldmanrant

not to be debbie downer cause i'm now invested in this team and it pains me to think they might not make the playoffs but, lets think about this win streak: beat the pack in a game they were outgained and only won because of 3 rodgers ints in the red zone. beat the bears on a fluke because justin fields is a great rb playing qb. lost to the bills. gave up justin jefferson's greatest day ever and almost 400 yards passing to kurt effing cousins. gave up zach wilson's best day as a pro and over 300 yards passing. this passing defense has gone back to being an abomination. now, is that because they are overly concerned with stopping the run and making teams one dimensional? could be. is that one dimension destroying the lions poor secondary? yes, yes it is. the bears and panthers might not be able to take advantage of it, but the pack might. and whomever they play on the road in the playoffs might too. that said, if THIS team is in the playoffs, who cares? and if they make it, im writing in dan campbell for mayor of chicago. cause only the power of DC can end this crime wave....
