Are Swift and ASB that important to the team? I don't get the vanishing act this offense has made from the first four weeks. If the best offense and best defense this team has shown could meet and both show up simultaneously, we might have an actual team.

Dallas ran over our long snapper. I think that was the flag. Would have been 15 yards and an automatic first.

This could be roughing the snapper.

Should go inside, he goes outside. Should go outside, he cuts inside. 0 vision.

After the opening sequence of running running running, now they can't seem to get away from the pass pass pass.

Richie Incognito says what?

Love the narrative switch from "Dak came back to dominate Detroit" to "it's going to take him a week to get back into things!" Anticipating a switch back around the time Dallas scores its first TD.

Seems like the Cowboys realized what team they were playing on defense.

Swift has shown that over the course of multiple seasons. ASB was healthy all of last year and has had two injuries this year. Not willing to call them the same yet.

Anzalone completely lost.

No shut out today!!!! Forward down the field....

Play calling feels like they don't trust the offensive line in pass protection.

Going with a parlay today... Jerry Jones' suite shown on FOX +5.5 times Refs Inventing New Rules against Lions +1.5 rules Mike Pereira justifying this rule somehow -110 Tony Romo fanboying over the Cowboys +3 instances Lions win toss and receive +120

I wouldn't count on him returning at all. That's his surgically repaired ankle that's acting up.

Hopefully I don't regret these words, but I do not foresee a close game between Michigan and MSU. The talent discrepancy is so wide this year that I think a blow out like 2019 is far more likely than a game that goes down to the wire. There is something to be said for rivalry games bringing out the most in terms of motivation, but if you look at games across long periods of time, the better team almost always wins, and Michigan is certainly the far better team. Further, MSU will certainly be motivated, but I don't think there is a Michigan player on that team that doesn't remember the game last year, and how it kept them from a 13-0 season. That motivation will work both ways.

If the B1G was having a normal year I would agree. It’s just 1a, 1b, and the field though to this point. I don’t think Michigan will be tested by anyone except maybe Illinois (and that could be a blow out itself). Ohio State has Penn State in Happy Valley next week… mayyybe that one will ruin the 11-0 v 11-0 matchup? Penn State sure didn’t seem interested in challenging for the 2nd best team in the conference last week though.

Watching Clemson-Syracuse, I'm not sure that a one-loss ACC champion would make the playoff this year over a one-loss B1G team. The Clemson bias is still out there, so it wouldn't shock me if it's them, but this is a two-conference league now.

Iowa / Ohio State and Syracuse / Clemson at 12 UCLA / Oregon and Ole Miss / LSU at 330 MS State / Alabama and Kansas State / TCU at 7 I think we could see a number of unbeatens go down today

A lot of QBs struggle to come back from this injury. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s not 100%

Holmes can say what he wants publicly, but this team was not built to win in 2022. They clearly have a plan that extends beyond 2022. There is an argument to be made that the team Campbell has been presented is better than their 1-4 would show, but these first two years has been a lot of "let's throw cheap talent at the wall and see what can stick"... It's why Rodrigo might be here next year rather than a free agent LB that could have been signed instead of him.

I think your last line does what you accuse Birkett of doing lol. Holmes has stayed away from big free agency moves.

The Rams offer by now would probably be limited to a 2028 1st and a nice ball of yarn

Really intriguing deal. Risk involved on both sides.

This year, but no timetable yet and they won't rush it.
