my packers to the super bowl prediction is....not so good. but i did have the lions in second place! lol.

all sorts of rumors that brady will end up on the niners. i think glenn gets the houston or denver job if they come open.

sigh. better for draft position, but not good for development.

i wouldnt trade him for that lakers pick unless it was unprotected. then i might consider it, but probably not. its too speculative.

i think both lions coordinators will get looks as head coaches. aaron glenn has been mentioned for a while.

dallas is better than detroit. detroit is in that mushy middle of teams. but they're rising to the top of that mushy middle.

jets might be starting joe flacco. or worse, zach wilson.

that's why i assumed they would take one this year. let him sit behind goff for at least a year.

josh allen is much more of a difference maker at qb than jared goff. the lions should always be looking for upgrades in talent at every position, including qb. if they think there is a future difference maker at qb, then draft him. if not, stay with steady eddie jared goff. i still dont believe goff is really anything more than a game manager, but that's ok. those guys are valuable too.

i honestly expect this to happen. i do not expect them to be that bad offensively two years in a row.

you either trust brad holmes or you dont. if they think levis or stroud (i assume young goes to the texans at 1 but you never know) could develop into an nfl game changing qb then you draft him. if you dont, then you probably dont. at some point they probably need to take a qb. doesnt have to be this year, but i assumed that was their plan all along. but plans change, perhaps their plans have changed? we'll see.

glenn deserves a lot of praise for the defense the last few weeks. they were dead inbthe water after miami and they've turned it around to become at least respectable. now he just needs to make sure oruwariye never sees the field again.

i would be ok with them taking a qb in this draft, jared goff's current hot streak notwithstanding. you'll never have a better chance than this year. if they dont feel confident in levis or stroud, then pass. but if they think levis can become an allen type qb, you should take him with the rams pick. this is a big couple of weeks for goff. the jets game is against a really good defense, outdoors in the cold and wind in new jersey. let's see if he can get 300 passing yards against a solid secondary in the elements, or if we get the new england game 2.0. lets hope williams is out. then carolina with a good pass rush before a respite against the bears and the pack in the dead of winter. its going to be a test for jared and the lions. hopefully he'll pass.

shams in the athletic reporting the lakers want bogdonavic and are willing to give up a first for him (in like 2027...). pistons have multiple suitors that will likely have better offers. reportedly weaver doesnt want to move him. since that comes from jeiii i assume its from weaver and i hope (and also assume) its a smokescreen.

i think it was a gamble like ras's was a gamble. they probably assumed he would get better this year and his bad puck luck would even out a bit. playing with vrana potentially might help. best laid plans of mice and men and all that. its possible that he breaks out eventually, he's still young. but i havent seen anything that indicates he has it in him, and now he's hurt all the time. ras had a 20 game stretch where he really started to play well the year before he signed his deal, zadina has never had that type of stretch.

and the important thing is that qe lost. worst record in the league baby!

arizona has no chance to make the playoffs. that team is toast and will be looking for a new coach very soon.

panthers are now 1 game behind detroit.

washington's schedule is not that difficult. giants last two games are home to indy and then philly in the last game of the season. the eagles might have the #1 seed wrapped up by then and only play reserves. its going to be a miracle for the lions to do it. not to mention that the lions have to win all their games too. including three road games. that's a tall task for any nfl team.

the jets defense is legit. winning that game on the road is going to be tough.

every game is a playoff game for them now. they almost certainly need to win out thanks to that stupid giants-washington tie.

the lions have a better point differential than the vikings.

didnt jalen reagor guarantee the vikings would win this game?

and there it is.
