Patterson missed an XP for the Browns tonight. For a guy who can’t kick the long ball he can’t really kick the short ball either.

The more I think the less sense it makes…. Even in the midst of the scandal…. Was Michigan stealing its own video? Why would you be unable to watch Michigan on a tablet? Or are you saying that your video is of Michigan’s signs and Alabama is restricting that because of the scandal? The last one is the only one that makes a modicum of sense.

I firmly believe that it is more important we stay healthy than we get any particular seed. A 3-seed Lions team that is fully healthy could go to the Super Bowl. A 1-seed Lions team with a depleted offensive line will likely be one-and-done.

I hope we can get both CJGJ and Houston some game action before the playoffs.

Cabinda is one of Dan Campbell’s guys. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him get named captain.

I can think of no logical reason that A + B = C here.

I expect we will see Hall in week 18 as well, barring injury.

That game would almost certainly get slotted to Monday Night too, which I don’t love for the winner to have a short week leading to the divisional round.

I don't really get Payton. He was worshipped in New Orleans. The franchise had gone to the playoffs five times and won only a single playoff game in its 39-year history prior to his hiring. He went to the playoffs nine times and won the Super Bowl with them, never winning less than seven games. He wasn't untouchable, but I think he would have survived a rebuild. He didn't want to rebuild from ground zero in New Orleans though, so he just up and left in the middle of a contract, and then a year later gets bored with broadcasting (?), so he goes to Denver, where instead he can rebuild from ground negative one, on a team with $85MM invested into a sunk cost quarterback that is missing future picks because they valued him more than the picks. It doesn't make much sense. From Campbell's POV I understand the mentorship angle. Campbell's playing career ended with a training camp injury on the Saints and Payton is who encouraged him to get into coaching, vouched for him to get the gig in Miami, and gave him a job when the Miami staff got fired. He wouldn't be here if it weren't for Payton, but he's also definitely not Payton. Payton is obviously a good coach, but Campbell I think is a much more calm and collected presence on the sideline than Payton, and I think the players like him more... You would never see Campbell yell at a quarterback how Payton did Russell Wilson. Even the officials, I've never seen Campbell lose his mind on the officials. Payton earned himself stupid 15-yard penalties with the Saints, one of which I remember costing him the game. And BountyGate? I couldn't even imagine a former NFL player like Campbell entertaining the possibility.

Suspending him is absolutely the right call there, and a pretty obvious decision too. What he did there was totally disrespectful to both the coaches and those who were named captains, and then to mess it up too?! He's lucky the official didn't just f*** him over and let his mistake be, giving Carolina the ball to start both halves. And then a total lack of accountability after the fact, telling the media that LaFleur didn't know he was from Carolina, implying it wasn't his fault? To not suspend him would risk completely losing the locker room.

It's just coach talk but high praise

The price schedule has them charging me $186 for the wildcard, $199 for the divisional, and $239 for an NFC Championship Game. Extremely reasonable. Each of those would probably re-sell near the thousands on the second market.

Im trying to be kind. But yeah.

That wasn’t the issue with the halftime show. They were a rap group but they were just mumbling.

Quality of play has something to do with that. A state champion high school boys basketball team probably beats the WNBA champion.

I’m shocked by how loud LCA is. It’s lively here.

Cost me $186/ticket as a season ticket holder. Makes the 73% rise in prices for next season more bearable.

That would be my guess too

I took a trip around LCA and tried a different beer for every quadrant so if the messages become less coherent or I can’t pay my WiFi bill you’ll know why.

Whatever you imagine as the worst possible halftime show… tonight’s was worse. I did not understand a single word spoken.

I’d be surprised if they don’t hire from within for OC. DC is the gig they might look elsewhere for.

That’s what I said too! He billed it as witnessing history, can you tell he’s in sales?

My buddy who I brought to a Lions game brought me to this ones I think I got the raw end of the deal.
