Was wondering where you went.

Pull him now, but I’d much rather him than the alternative if he’s medically cleared.

Thank you Mr. Walker.

Don’t **** with our doctor BITCHHHH

I shouldn’t be this nervous about a 13-point lead. Play the defense you have been the last two weeks and we got this.

If they don’t score in the second half they will lose. That was known before the game. Put up some ****ing points.

Been doing it since the second quarter.

LOL. bet that’s not reviewable either.

I’m with you. The only thing I can think is that they think it’s more likely for a turnover than a conversion. I don’t agree with that conservative mindset.

I’m hoping this is more the Detroit-Washington game last year and less a historically inept Green Bay comeback.

Every offensive coordinator in the NFL loves them a good 3rd and long draw play. I’ve never understood it.

Long drive, put up points, we are okay.

Lots of time to reset, keep energy up.

I don’t like this.

LFG. Keep kicking the corpse.

Intelligence doesn’t necessarily equate to leadership on the coaching side, or the football acumen on the management side. Patricia was a terrible leader who commanded no one’s respect. Millen couldn’t find talent if it slapped him in the face. The problem with WCF wasn’t one of only looking to intelligence though. Hell, Ben Johnson has a degree in mathematics and computer science from UNC and is also a very good coach. WCF’s problem was he only looked for people who he liked. That was literally the only qualification to be in the Detroit Lions organization for over 50 years.

Thursday Night games suck. They all suck. I expect a low scoring sloppy game, as players on both teams have not had satisfactory chance to rest and recover from Sunday. I think the Lions are the better team and will come out on top, but it won’t be pretty. Lions 20 Packers 12

Good on him for the correction and owning it. This makes much more sense.

Decker is going to give it a go and I’d be really surprised if Jackson doesn’t. Decker-Jackson-Ragnow-Glasgow-Sewell puts the offensive line at practically 100%, even if not the opening week offensive line. Stay healthy tomorrow and have ten days to get right before Carolina. Compare that to Green Bay, definitely missing two starting offensive linemen and possibly a third, and I’ll take our injury situation.

Philly knows what they've got, they barely used him until Gainwell went down.

This is definitely part of the case, but I think Dantonio deserves some amount of credit for 2013-2015.

MSU has never recruited on the level of Michigan and Ohio State, but they have managed to beat them and compete with them before. With Dantonio, it was because he was a damn good recruiter and coach (for a while). He could find and recruit the best 3*s in the area and in the country, and coach them to beat UM and OSU's 4* and 5* athletes. With Tucker, it was because he quickly learned how to take advantage of COVID rules and got good players to transfer to MSU (mostly just Kenneth Walker). And then everyone else caught on and he was rendered to mediocrity because he isn't actually that good of a recruiter or a coach. If you're not going to be the first to re-invent the wheel like Tucker was able to do in a global pandemic, you have to find (1) a damn good coach, (2) that is a damn good evaluator of mid-tier high school talent in the Midwest, (3) that is willing to go to MSU, with the knowledge that you're C-tier in the Midwest and B-tier in your own state... Right now, you can add in (4) that is willing to clean up this massive s*** show left by Tucker. There are a lot more John L. Smith's out there than there are Mark Dantonio's. Ultimately though, you don't have to hate Michigan, you just have to beat them. And that's not an easy task when they're on the ups.

Opens the 30-day transfer portal window. I have to imagine there will be a lot of departures. Also allows for any player who hasn't already redshirted to sit out the rest of the season and not burn this year of eligibility.
