Unless Sutton has been in the same hole in the ground for the past two weeks that Aaron Rodgers was in last year, I cannot imagine he's unaware there is a warrant out for his arrest. 

While we can not guarantee anything from our seats, but as black as this sounds...unless he is dead...there's no way he does not know.

I think I read he had setbacks in his return last year. If he doesn't have complications with this injury, wouldn't he be back sooner? I guess we'll have to wait and see...

I recall similar, AND I heard that DC and BH are more comfortable with prognosis, as his treatment/s have all been in-house.

There's also the fact that Russell Wilson is a weird guy and a lot of his former teammates in Seattle didn't seem to like him. 

I saw an episode of Peyton's Places where they highlighted RW and his early career choice between bball and fball.  He seemed odd in it. I know confidence is needed as and NFL QB but he seemed to have excess.

The way I understand it, Denver is on the hook for his salary this year so a new team can sign him for the league minimum since Denver is paying his full salary. Why wouldn't a team take a flyer on him for that? 

Someone will...ATL, NE just a couple that come to mind.

I think the philosophy is to not commit long term to FA's, unless they are our own. I heard DC mention knowing his coaches and players and the importance of that knowledge as an assurance of the future...see JRM, last years signing of Anzalone...I expect same for St. Brown, Hutch, Sewell, Goff and Decker.  Outside guys will be short term deals, which I think usually means 'B' level. If they could get Jones short term, I think they take a run at it, I just think he's got eyes for his life payday. With all of that...CGJ took a 1y so what the crap do I know.

This sounds like good news for all teams ability to buy and especially good for the players...we are going to see some wild high contracts.

1 dead, 30+ injured from shooting at end of KC Super Bowl parade. Damn. Has that ever happened, a shooting at a championship parade?

Not that I can recall. Lots of fire and turned over cars, but nothing like that.

what a garbage gm.

I haven't given the Pistons any significant attention for years, and I am only left to wonder WTF? So many deals resulting in what appears to be absolutely nothing.

That's not it at all. It's his flirting with other teams two years in a row and deciding while that team is in the air to honor your contract. I'm not certain he will just be a top candidate next year. 

If "Hey we want to interview you" and accepting that request = flirting, then sure he flirted. Take the interviews...see what they have to say. Nothing says you owe anyone anything if you take interviews.  If Lions had gone SB maybe the result is different? If Washington says different things, maybe the result is different.

I don't see any valid rationale that puts Johnson at fault for anything here.

Will 1y contracts still be a tool next year?  I could see/hope CGJ gets another, Mosely a non-guaranteed and maybe a premier edge and CB?  Give em good money, make it attractive, load it with incentives. Buzz is Detroit is now an attractive place to land.

Disappointing end to a great season, but the only end that would have been not disappointing, the way this all played out was a Superbowl win. Remind self: That was a wild unimaginable dream when this season started.  It's a 10/10 for me.  Results that consistently exceeded my expectations.  

Obviously we do need help in pass D...both on the corner and on the edge. Way to early to start speculating on cutting and releasing. So many NFL wide changes to come.  It will be exciting to read and see about new coordinators (as needed) and to see what kind of draft magic Holmes can come up with picking from so far back in round 1.

Great year...looking forward to more!

FG! Nice hold.

I LOVE THIS ****ING TEAM!

Kansas City beating Baltimore gives me hope the Lions can beat SF. Finish the season the way it started, with a Lions win over KC!!

THAT, would be amazing!

Been running all weekend, finally settled in and watching Balt/KC. Nerves have kicked in! 👍🏻🤪😄

Cousins is going to SF to be reunited with Shanahan.   The Niners are going to realize on Sunday that Brock Purdy was a flash in the pan and isn’t their guy...

Bosa scares me.

Certainly need to account for him. SF zero sacks v GB.

If Joseph goes high on Deebo and takes out his shoulder, do 49ers fans cry it's a dirty hit? 

of course...

Along with a few "Lions need a shootout to win" comments and general discounting of any chance Lions win...I did hear a comment about Purdy thats both good and bad for us.

The comment was GB 'took away' SF short/intermediate passing game and forced them to throw deep more often...Purdy's weakness (inaccurate). I did see many bad throws during the second half of that game (weather?).

Now that strategy pushes him to our weakness, covering deep.  If a WR is wide open, Purdy can just get it close. Can Sutton and Vildor at least stay close enough to impact a bad throw? I do like our safety's ability to close on a deep ball.
