Mr.TaterSalad

I love Sam LaPorta. This dude looks like he'll be a YAC monster as he's hard to bring down.

You can't just blitz for the sake of blitzing, but I'm glad to see them stepping up the aggression thus far and hope they keep it up. They just might win if they do.

Holy ****, back to back sacks by the LionsLions. You love to see it!!!

We got a sack!!!!!!! Hallelujah!!!

Lol nevermind.

Good thing Ridder missed an open receiver.

Good start Aaron Glenn's defense!!! Nice to force them to punt. Let's keep this going.

I would presume Aaron Glenn was in the room when they both interviewed Jalen Carter and then made the decision as an organization they weren't going to draft him. Same with when they chose to resign Charles Harris and make him a captain of this defense.

Presumably, with at least some input from Glenn, they chose to bring back Charles Harris, Romeo Okwara, Isiah Buggs along the front 4. They chose to make Charles Harris a cornerstone of their pass rush. They chose not to make any meaningful upgrades along their defensive line this offseason and thought the personnel they had was satisfactory. They chose to pass on Tyree Wilson, Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, Nolen Smith, etc. They chose to use a top 20 pick on a player with low positional value, after they chose to resign Alex Anzalone to a nice contract. They chose to spend a 2nd round pick on Levi and Josh Paschal, and a 3rd round pick on Melifonwu. Again, I would presume Glenn had input on these personnel moves.

Am I hoping they win as a fa, of course. Do I think they will, probably not at this point. Aaron Glenn needs to do something to restore confidence in this defense.

Agreed on the Falcons winning. My confidence in this defense is shaken right now. They have the worst pass rush in the league and it is only going to get worse with Houston not in there. This coaching staff's faith in Charles Harris is something to behold. The guy offers nothing right now, continues to get no pressure on the QB, and yet continues to get used as an every down DE. I want to see them bring 5 today, if they feel they have the personnel to do it. We're also really going to test today whether or not our run defense is as good as advertised from the last two weeks. They did a good job limiting both Isiah Pacheco and KWIII the past two weeks. Bijan (we could have had him) might just be one of the top RBs in the league already. He's going to put this defensive line to the test early and often. Let's hope we don't get abused and this improve run D is for real. The secondary, which is supposed to be Glenn's forte, is all out of sync right now. If they continue to play Jerry Jacobs deep and off the defender, he will continue to get burned. They need to let him play in tighter coverage and be a bit more aggressive, not get killed in a softer zone coverage in space. I hope we see a lot more of Gibbs in today's running game as well. You don't draft a RB in the first round if he isn't going to be your workhorse. Gibbs needs 20+ touches between running and receiving. He needs to be utilize in the vein of an Alvin Kamara and thus far the coaching staff has worked him in to positions as opposed to just putting him out there to be the guy.

I wish sportsbooks allowed you to bet on which rookie RB would be most likely to drop a pass that could have turned into a TD or big play.

The longest second ever.

Notre Dame had **** playcalling a couple of drives ago and didn't tick enough time off the clock with two passing plays.

What a game between Ohio State and Notre Dame. What a nailbiting finish.

Atlanta has only had 2 scoring drives this year that were 70 yards or more. So most of their scoring drives have been on a shortened or shorter field. If they aren't a team that drives the length of the field to score it seems to me like punting and backing them up deep in their own territory is better strategy then being super aggressive and going for it all the time.

Going to see Willie tonight out at Pine Knob.

Now that the Tigers GM was formally in the Blackhawks front office, does this increase our chances of being able to trade for Connor Bedard? Maybe have Bedard get traded to Olympia Entertainment or Ilitch Holdings?

Can Olympia Entertainment trade for the rights of Connor Bedard and have him play for the Wings now?

Holy Efffffff what a powerful and sobering ad by Kentucky Governor Andy Bashear against his MAGA opponent Attorney General Daniel Cameron.

Turf toe can keep players out for a game or several in a row.

St. Brown is now missing practice and is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury.

Yes, this is what I was referencing above. Although, I was thinking we had all three time outs left and a little less time was on the clock. But it still speaks to the point that Campbell let a good 20-30 seconds unnecessarily run off the clock and if we did only run 5 plays before the FG, that further showcases he wasn't playing to win. He Lloyd Carr'd it and got conservative when it mattered most in the game instead of playing for the win.

Damn man, can't we ever just have nice things for once!!! This secondary is banged up as it is and didn't play that well last week. To lose potentially our best player in the unit really sucks.
