You know who the Lions can hire then if A&M does get Campbell to leave . . .

Such a baller! I hope they give this guy an extension now. I spent years trying to run Stat Pad . . . Excuse me, Matt Stafford out of town, sometimes with justification and sometimes with an abundance of anger and hyperbole. I'm not going to make that mistake again. I hope Jarred Goff is our QB here for the long term because this dude is good, real good!

This is likely it for Vaitai as a Lion I would have to believe. Our o-line has been able to gel and play great without him in the rotation, so while you always hate to see a player go through injuries, this won't dramatically effect the rock solid play of our o-line.

Maybe they aren't targeting him because of his drops? I haven't admittedly done a deep dive into his performance at practice and whether or not he's dropping balls at practice. So unfair for me to speculate that. But maybe Goff just hasn't fully built up trust and rapport with him yet because of that issue or something else

The question for Jaymo is what is his WAR rating compared to us having drafted Jordan Davis because that's the guy (well him and Malik Willis) people thought we were trading up to get and we took Jaymo instead. Does Jordan Davis make this defense any better than it has been at times this season, probably so. How much better? Likely not a leaps and bounds improvement. That may be a useless and worthless comparison, but it is one fans will make because many people wanted Davis when they traded up.

Underwhelmed as always. A great block and a catch or two doesn't change that for me. We drafted Jaymo to be our Tee Higgins, not John Ross. We're getting past the point of them just slowly working him into the offense and easing him into a role. He was drafted to take the top off the defense and be a big play, downfield receiver. He's a threat to no one right now and commands no extra attention. He doesn't appear to be a great route runner and has average hands, at best. He looks more like John Ross than Tee Higgins, a guy with speed and little else.

Campbell and Johnson are a better coaching duo than Jim Caldwell and Joe Lombardi.

So the Vikings aren't a playoff team right? I don't think so and believe what Buddha said is true and that Josh Dobbs will come back down to Earth and they all falter in the end. Without Jefferson in the lineup and with Dobbs being so unproven, I just can't see them keeping up this pace. There's gotta be a point in the season here real soon where they lose 3-4 in a row.

I think his post was painted on thick with sarcasm given that it directly proceeded TP's.

While the offense looked great today, the defense was total trash. Has your patience with thin with Aaron Glenn now?

No coach in the league has the confidence of our man Dan!!!

Damn, Dan Campbell has brass ****ing balls.

Campbell's going for it, you know it.

Bad play call on 2 and 11 there.

His defenses get shredded against even decent QBs it seems.

Nice play Raymond baby! That tackle at the end was a horse collar tackle.

Welp, that ain't good. They're gonna score now.

This is what good teams do, they march right back down the field and score.

Damn, the Saints getting shredded by Josh Dobbs. The guy barely knows the playbook.

I saw this on Facebook and I laughed.

I agree with what you put here about how each back will be used. Montgomery is definitely your go to back when you have a second half lead and you want to wear a team down and grind out the clock. It seems likely that Gibbs just had fewer carries and less catches/touches/targets overall early on in the season because he was a rookie, getting acclimated and worked into this offense. I want Gibbs to be able to get direct carries with the football too though and not just be the bubble screen guy. I don't want Montgomery taking too much of that away. He's an Alvin Kamara-like player with skills to be a screen pass option, a receiver lined up outside, and a direct snap-to-hand off style of running back. For as flashy a player as Kamara is, he still managed 16/17/18 touches a game carrying the ball on top of the 6-8 receiving targets he'll get.

Is Montgomery going to get the RB1 role back automatically over Gibbs now given how well Gibbs played against the Raiders? I'd hate to see Gibbs usage have a precipitous drop off this week. I do think that Montgomery should take back the mantle of being the bell cow back, but Gibbs looked like the player we drafted him to be last week against the Raiders. The Chargers have a bottom five-ten defense I believe and I would hate to see Gibbs usage regress against such a poorly coached defense.

When I throw the ball at you that means catch it.

If you listen to 97.1 every day like I do you end up with a different take on this. They're talking about it like this is a scandal for the ages and gining up that level of concern. Valenti and Rico most especially. I think if it ends up being proven that Harbaugh directed Connor Stalions to do this or knew about it and actively turned a blind eye that will be a serious issue for the program and one that could result in a long-term suspension for Harbaugh. It may also cost Michigan Big Ten Championship and playoff eligibility and force vacating games. It seems most everyone else in the Big Ten wants a stiff penalty brought down against the program. And I don't think it's fair to dismiss that as simply their bias against not wanting to play a Harbaugh-coached Michigan team.

Depending on how far this scandal reaches, could it reach a level that it would justify giving Michigan football the death penalty ala SMU in the 1980s?
