Case in point:

People were saying the same thing about Goff in 2021. Not to say Fields will become Goff, he won’t. He’s bad. But I still think Glenn is a better head coach than Ben Johnson. The Jets need to give him time.

Franklin may not survive the year, buyout or not. That team is in shambles.

I like the Lions chances tomorrow. I don’t love them, but I like them. The weakness tomorrow will be in the secondary. But KC isn’t really a team loaded with weapons that are licking their chops to burn you over the top, especially without Rice. Xavier Worthy is the closest they’ve got, and he’s not had a great year. Averaging like two receptions per game and only 11 yards per reception. I’d expect him to get a few, but not dominate. Where KC can burn you is when you fail to get pressure of any kind and Mahomes can manufacture something. The defensive line and linebacking corps is virtually at full strength. They should be able to do their job. Meanwhile the KC defense has shown signs of taking a slight step back this year. We all saw the Chris Jones clip last week. I think we should have success in the short to intermediate pass game to Jamo, LaPorta, and ASB.

I’ll be reporting live from Section 106 Row 6.

I expect a shootout. I’m in Illinois for work, have the day off Monday, and I’m debating making the seven hour drive down for the game tomorrow. Financial responsibility be damned.

Cue Dan Skipper rising like The Undertaker.

If either of these teams had a playoff heartbeat, this game is over in 11. Simple as that. Hard to see the Mariners advance. Neither team deserved to.

I don’t know what changes you can make to this team to fix things. No one hitter will fix the lineup. It’s completely broken. Maybe a magician hitting coach could fix it, but over 162+ games, I doubt it. Feels like they are going to need to blow things up before it fixes itself. Which means 10+ years before a contender.

Skubal should go right to Boras and demand a trade before March. He’s no Felix Hernandez.

I’m not upset at a team losing when they deserved to lose. Top to bottom, they can **** right off.

I’m so close to not caring. I still care more than I’ll ever admit if we lose. Oh joy Kahnle is in, why not

I’ve got the UN on line two saying this may be a violation of the Geneva Convention.

Just confirmed. The bar has more.

Probably something like this:

I ****ing hate this team. I ****ing hate this game.

We are so back.

That’s some utter bull****. Have to try to make it not matter. But it probably will.

It changes directions what else do you ****ing think it hit?!?!?

Pretty clearly hit the bat first.

I hate this team so ****ing much.

I'm pretty confident through five games that the Lions will be judged not by October but by January. They need to play it smart with these injuries, and with Decker's longevity. We need to be entering the New Year at or near 100%, and we need to be ready to hit an on-ramp in wildcard weekend, whether we are playing or waiting. Whether we enter at 11-6 or 16-1, those 3-4 games in January to hopefully February will define this season.

Still too early to say for sure. A team can get hot in December. I think the Rams, Eagles, Packers, Bucs, Niners, Seahawks, Commanders, and even Vikings all have the ability to see the stars align late. But I also think the Lions have to be the betting favorite in the NFC right now. Just stay healthy!

Philly has issues on both sides of the ball.
