Everyone is talking about it but let’s just tip our cap to Marco one more time. Incredible play.

Yeah, Goff was not the problem. It is hard to believe that as inept as the OL looked for most of the season, the Lions still finished #5 in points scored, #5 in yards gained, and tied for #4 with fewest INTs thrown at 8. (Packers and Bears tied with the Iggles for first with just 7 INTs.) Goff took a step forward this year, even as the OL took a step back.

The defense needs TA and BB back. And to 🙏🏻 that Kerby can manage his knee.

Goff is also no slouch on this metric.

Helluva run for Mike Tomlin. I’m sure he could get hired by his pick of half of the NFL if he waited around the next two or three years but it would not surprise me if he was just done.

In all my life as a Detroit sports fan, the Red Wings have given me the most indelible memories. I remember the Russian Five toying with grown men like they were children. Of course I remember the revenge game against Claude Lemieux and the Avalanche, which resulted in the Stanley Cup. I remember then the horrible limo accident… then Sergei Fedorov went to the site of the accident just to be with fans who were holding vigil. After he did that I could never have been mad at him even though it still pains me that he left.

FTP!!!

Missed the FG! 😂😂😂

I am on the Stafford bandwagon this postseason. Would be OK to see the Bills win it too. FTP

Owners, this guy is too weird to be your head coach.

Even in a 15-2 season, though, everything did not break their way. They had one of the worst seasons in NFL history in terms of defensive injuries. Then they arguably had a worse injury season this year. Holmes swings for the fences too often. I didn’t like the Hooker or Martin picks when he made them and now I like them even less. His job is getting harder now that he doesn’t have all of those extra pics, and now that he is drafting toward the bottom of each round. But he still built one of the best rosters in the league and their window is still wide open.

The biggest issue was not at edge. It was with injury and ineffectiveness at DT, and was exacerbated by losing two Pro Bowl safeties in addition to both starting CBs.

McDaniel flamed out at the end with weird press conferences. If I were an owner I would not want him as my head coach. But put that mad scientist of offense in the lab and let him cook.

Brad needs to postpone his press conference and get on the phone to Mike McDaniel.

McDaniel is too weird. I can’t imagine he will get another HC job soon, if ever. But he could ride the mad offensive scientist wave for a while. Stefanski will get another shot because he almost made the Browns respectable despite a ridiculous amount of mismanagement.

The Mara family likes vanilla ice cream.

He seems tailor made for the Giants.

Also, they lost a couple of tough games early — that ridiculous heartbreaker against Buffalo in Week 1 and against Detroit in Week 3, in which Derrick Henry had costly fumbles. Without the Henry fumble against Buffalo, in retrospect, there is no chance Buffalo would have come back, and an extra win in the Ravens column would have put them in the playoffs. Maybe the Detroit game would have ended differently without his fumble. Then they got ravaged with injuries. Harbaugh didn’t make Henry cough up two early wins, but he somehow kept them together to have a chance at the postseason. It’s a tough game.

I believe Blough was the one who tipped Washington off to Detroit's formations or plays in the playoff game.
