Saw it called in both NCAA and NFL. ? Won't be a huge deal I hope, just seems silly in this moment to hold a D responsible for causing illegal procedure if they don't enter the neutral zone. And, that's just me.

I'm beginning to conclude that this has to be more superstition than belief. How can you continue to believe in the face of such strong opposing evidence. It's the lucky underwear mindset. Keep complaining, keep winning.

Delay of game against the defense? Never seen that called before this weekend and now 2x. Something about the D not getting set before the snap. Am I missing something…what is the logic?

Thought the same thing in the moment.

Yea, this is a violent game and some is expected. I think hard practice is the best way to prepare for game conditions. You just hope its not too many injuries or the 'wrong' players. FWIW I would suggest there is logic to hard practices they can control to some point vs. hard and uncontrolled preseason games.

Second this question…?

exactly!

I think that's legit. There were a few guys signed...talented yes as they were NFL players, but yes to appease him...give him all the resources HE wants. And we know practice is far from playing and I would be very surprised if, even in his red jersey, he actually faced 'game conditions' in practice. He is a prima-donna. I'm not rooting for him, but it will be all over the NFL, so I need to accept another year of him.

My completely cynical side says all the discussion of quick recovery, "I intend to play this year" talk at the time was done more to feed his need to he seen and heard, than his legitimate belief he would heal that fast, assuming there was some sort of atypical treatment he was undergoing. I don't think that was ever a realistic possibility. It obviously proved out he was not able to return last year. It will be very interesting to see this year, assuming he stays healthy.

Hey all, I am wondering if you have any recommendations for viewing these games outside ESPN? I do not get ESPN and am having some trouble finding sources for the broadcast. DM me or post here...thanks.

This is a classic example of why all of these guys are little more than shouting, trying to be relevant with a cool take, 🤡's. All the supporting 'evidence' they offer for their opinion is past HISTORY, where almost all of the significant variables were changed.

It will be interesting to see how it is structured. I would like to believe that if JG and don't forget his agent, did not 'pay more towards the rest of the team' in terms of total contract amounts, they were willing to structure it in it a team friendly manner, whatever that looks like with 170M guaranteed. 😲 With that, I will depend on the more astute cap guys here to explain that when it becomes known.

yea...lots behind this we aren't aware of. I read somewhere and also believe that our coaches think they can bring out the best in players. In the absence of other evidence, I got to believe they think DPJ is enough to not spend more on WR, at least any that are/were recently available.

I was wondering this also. I know he has boat loads of confidence and I seem to recall he didn’t mind showing that, but locker room cancer is a different beast entirely…

Also, this reminds me of what Campbell and Holmes preached early on. Put players in positions to succeed, don't force players into a plan...plan around the player. Coaches should be able to do this. And yes...this will be an interesting year for Glenn with this increase in talent.

The #'s that attended are even more convincing how much Detroit is a sports town and that pride is generated by our teams. It may be obvious...there is causal relationship (is that correct?) between the success of the Lions and the self esteem the city has, which can be a reason for less stupid acts. I imagine this has been studied somewhere by someone. Good for Detroit and the Lions. Don't underestimate what Campbell, Holmes and the players have done for not only the team but also the city. 👍

I'd go A+. By your own definitions I don't see one hole or missed pick.

I'm slower than you apparently! HA. Good one.

Is this legit?

Did anyone else se the Phil. war room? The Stepford Eagles!

Have a great day!

In two years it will be 4 and 150 as the new bar. And the cap will rise again and again...give it a few ASB will be a bargain...😄

AND...I wouldn't be surprised if D. Smith just called his agent..."did you see that?" My gut tells me Smith does not complete that deal if he stays healthy.

Here's one for your list...courtesy of Wikipedia...what a write up...🤣 Lynn Ray Boden (born June 5, 1953) is an American former professional football player who was an offensive guard for five seasons in the National Football League (NFL) with the Detroit Lions (1975–1978) and the Chicago Bears (1979).[1] He played college football at South Dakota State University.[2] He was selected in the first round of the 1975 NFL draft with the 13th overall pick by Detroit.[3] He has 2 children, Eric and Molly. His favorite restaurant is Shucks.

For sure Barry. Then I'd never be able to argue anyone of these is more deserving, of #2-3, Karras, Calvin, Barney, Joe Schmidt, Lane. And probably forgot someone...
