  1. Bears losing to the Bucs through the second quarter. So much for those of us that had them pegged to take a decent sized step this season.
  2. "So awesome" that the moral majority of America and the party of family values is ok with fingering your spouse in public and getting a quickie, in the movie theater, where kids and families are at. But yeah, keep telling my gay cousin on my mom's side of the family that he and his boyfriend are immoral people who are grooming children to be bad, scary gay people. Seriously, **** off GOP!!!
  3. Sounds like Josh Paschal might be out a few games now according you MLive.
  4. Goldwater told Nixon to get lost or they were removing him. Goldwater would have likely told Trump the same because he seemed to be a man who held to his principals. I think Goldwater would be out. I think today's MAGA crowd would like Nixon, but only on the grounds that he was being targeted by "evil libs that need to be shown their place and pwned." I think MAGA Republicans would have probably been ok with Reagan too because Reagan played up the welfare queen and lazy blacks on welfare card. I could see Reagan in today's world playing up the culture wars against the LGTBQ community and wokeism as well.
  5. Our 2nd round picks always suck. So we aren't allowed to have productive 2nd rounders.
  6. 3rd down masks down. I did not buy a mask though.
  7. Never forget that without Unions you'd literally be handcuffed or shackled to your desk/factory floor or the doors would be locked from the outside until your work day was over. In honor of the UAW negotiations I thought a little Pete Seeger would be appropriate.
  8. https://thefootballusa.com/wealthiest-college-football Michigan State generates $172 million in revenue from college football. While it's not near the top like Ohio State at $251 million, or Big Blue at $210 million, I think they can still afford Urban and a few good assistant coaches. I'd call Urban and tell him the following: 1. We don't give an EFFF about how things went down in Jacksonville or any of what we saw on Swamp Kings on Netflix. You win, you haven't broken the law or had major NCAA violations, so we're good there. 2. We'll pay you north of $10 million per season if you are willing to negotiate with us in good faith. 3. We'll pay your top assistant coaches, including OC, DC, Special Teams, and a top recruiting assistance north of $1.5 million each. 4. You can recruit any way you'd like as long as it is legal and within the bounds of NCAA rules. You can have all the NIL money you want. You can oversign prospects like they do in the SEC. All of it. 5. We know you won't want to stay more than 4-5-6 years anyways, so you can quit whenever and handpick your successor.
  9. I'm not a MSU fan, but yes. If whomever is running MSU's search for their next head coach doesn't pick up the phone and at least give Urban the chance to tell you no than they aren't doing their due diligence. I think it's highly unlikely Urban would say yes, but he should be the first name on State's list for a new coach. Before you call Pat Narduzzi, Jim Leonhard, Brian Hartline, Jeremy Chadwell, Mike Elko or whomever, you have to call Urban because he flat out wins. He does one thing exceedingly well too, as Buddha said, he wins over Harbaugh and Michigan.
  10. I know he won't agree to it, and I know he might not be the best choice given his own personal indiscretions, but if you're Michigan State, do you call Urban Meyer?
  11. If it weren't for needing to hold Wisconsin in the Senate, I think Tammy Baldwin would be the best choice as our nominee. She checks the diversity/equity box as she is an openly lesbian woman and would be not only be the first woman as President but the first member of the LGBTQ community. She is progressive and supports many of the values and policies of the left (M4A, Green New Deal, voted against the Iraq War, ending the filibuster, etc.) without appearing as radical as a Bernie Sanders. Baldwin would have broader appeal than most left wing candidates for voters in the center, while still holding true to values that would help turn out progressives and young people. Most importantly, she knows how to win and win big in purple state races. She has won twice, by comfortable margins, in her Senate races in the purple state of Wisconsin. If it weren't for the need to keep that seat this year in the Senate, I think Baldwin should be the nominee. I think a Tammy Baldwin/Cory Booker ticket or an all women ticket with Tammy Baldwin/Gretchen Whitmer ticket would be great.
  12. I would not trade Bridgewater. We have waited forever for this organization to get itself a competent backup QB, seemingly since the Shaun Hill days. We finally have one and I am not going to trade him away for a mid or late round pick.
  13. I love JT O'Sullivan's videos and detailed breakdowns. As MCS pointed out to me before, he's a former Lions backup QB too.
  14. Let's be real, there is one QB out there worth the Jets time, that could be expected to both be productive on the field and possibly want to play. And it isn't Carson Wentz.
  15. I see no reason why Gibbs snap count shouldn't increase by the week, while Jones decreases. Gibbs should be getting time out wide and in the slot on certain play designs as well. He's the RB version of Deboo Samuel. That is to say, a RB who will occasionally be schemed as a WR, like Deboo is a WR who will occasionally be schemed as a RB.
  16. Marvin Jones looks cooked. I don't think that's an overreaction. Maybe I am wrong and he'll bounce back this week.
  17. Jets. Their season is toast if they lose Rodgers for the rest of the year. Zac Wilson has never shown he can be a capable NFL starting QB. And with that Oline the Jets having getting Rodgers killed on drive one of the season, that doesn't bode well for Wilson as he'll have little time in the pocket it seems to let plays develop and will be forcing throws.
  18. Aaron Rodgers out already and the Jets look like a dysfunctional mess early on.
  19. I was unimpressed by Geno Smith and Seattle in week 1. Geno Smith and the entire Seahawks team sure look a lot more like the team that limped into the playoff down the stretch than they do the team that came into Ford Field and hung 45 on the Lions. If this team wants to keep putting nails in the SOL coffin than you go and win against Seattle this week. I feel this should be a nice 7-10 point win for the Lions. It's the NFL, so you rarely blow anyone out, but the Lions should be able to handle Seattle if they want to be considered among the NFL's Super Bowl contenders. The other things I am looking for this week are as follow. First, is Marvin Jones going to continue to get a top 3 target share in this offense or will Ben Johnson and Dan Campbell realize that cake is fully baked? Jones at this point should either be on the practice squad or off the roster if he keeps looking at all like he did last week. As for who should replace him, I think putting Gibbs out wide in specific sets, as well as more use of Kalif Raymond until Jamo comes back is where I would go. Truthfully, I'd love to make a trade for a WR and go out and get another outside guy, but I don't think that's happening anytime soon, if at all. Second, who on this defensive line is going to step up and go after the QB besides Hutch? I'm not expecting this team to have multiple players with double-digit sack numbers, but there needs to be sustained pressure from the other side of Aiden, even when he lines up along the interior. I'd like to think Houston and Cominsky will each step up and take part of that role. I'd like to think Josh Paschal will make an appearance and be useful there as well.
  20. How do you think Fields would fair if his O-line was as good as the Lions? Would you as a fellow Lions fans be worried that a QB like Fields, behind a good line, could give the Lions a run for their money when it comes to winning the division?
  21. 28-45, 466 yards and 3 TDs.
  22. Justin Fields, who I liked coming out of the draft, really looks like he's regressing. He locks onto one target and easily gets read and picked off for 6.
  23. Anyone who was afraid the Bears might surprise a few people and compete for the division shouldn't bother worrying now. They look like crap in every facet.
