  1. next week's game thread is gonna be rough when the bears run for 400 yards on us...
  2. imo, the panthers and lions are very close talent wise. the panthers have a better defense and the lions have a better offense.
  3. game threads gonna game thread, lol.
  4. melifonwu and kirby joseph have been god awful today. the secondary has been garbage for the last 3 or 4 games. bring back aubrey pleasant! lol.
  5. okudah has been terrible ever since he got sick amd missed a game.
  6. how many tackles has okudah missed today?
  7. yes. it happens, man. teams have bad games. this reminds me of the pats game. get down early and then get steamrolled.
  8. to repeat, it is very difficult to win on the road in the nfl. expecting the lions to win that many games in the row on the road is a bit unrealistic.
  9. if the goal is to lose as many games as possible, then whatever they've done has been a great success. after this season is over, do the pistons buy a free agent? is there anyone left to buy after this season? or do they run it back and continue to draft high forever?
  10. that doesnt sound like a net positive...
  11. why did we sign nerlens noel?
  12. seahawks last two games are at home against the jets and rams. i dont think they'll lose either of those games. maybe the jets if white can play qb. washington's last two are the browns and cowboys. they'll be favored against the browns and the cowboys might be playing their second string. i still think the lions will have to win out in order to make it.
  13. i hated the hawks when i was young. seemed like they were the first team the pistons had to beat before they slew the celtics beast.
  14. i'll take bauer. immediately the best pitcher on the team.
  15. i dont get why everyone is bitching about not spending on free agents. has everyone forgotten that they spent a ton of money LAST YEAR???? and how did that work out? free agents fail to make a meaningful impact more often than not. spending big money on guys in their 30s is bad business that will come back to haunt you. and the tigers werent going to get the guys who are 27ish. draft and develop your own talent and then pay to keep it (or deal it to bring in more talent). baseball has a great system for the owners who get these guys for cheap for 6 years! use that system properly and you can keep the talent pipeline rolling along for years and years. go trolling for big name free agents and you end up with javy baez. how'd that work out?
  16. what are you going to give up for madrigal? he was a top 5 pick and then was the centerpiece of a trade with the sox. he's had some injury problems at the mlb level. i doubt the cubs will give him away for a lefty reliever with control problems.
  17. i love sunday ticket. we'll see how it goes with streaming, i kind of liked recording it and watching it again. red zone is probably the most overrated channel, imo. i like to watch the games, not just when one team is in the other team's 20 yard line. i hope youtube doesnt get eid of the nfl mix channel where you can watch all the games at once.
  18. a much needed win. tampa gets a little chippy when they lose.
  19. i love tp. i tease him all the time but being a contrarian is his schtick. he knows it. and game threads are places to vent.
  20. tpfan is on chiefs boards too?????
  21. as long as its after the bowl game...
  22. 1) i hope so! terrance shannon and xavier worthy say hi, though. 2) i doubt it. their nil game isnt up to snuff. or at least that will be the latest excuse.
  23. its not an "sol" thing to think its unlikely the lions will win 4 straight or 3 out of 4 to close the season, its more an acknowledgment of how hard that is to do in the nfl. most nfl games are decided on thin margins, veritable coin flips. the odds are in one of the last three games the lions will lose the coin flip. otoh, it was similarly unlikely they would win 6 of their last 7. and they did it. so who knows?
  24. i think that tweet came directly from troy weaver's agent's press release. which, of course, was sent to shams before anyone else.
