https://nfltraderumors.co/top-100-2023-nfl-free-agents-list/ There are a few guys right off the top I'd love to see the Lions target on defense. RB: Josh Jacobs/Raiders, Kareem Hunt/Browns DE/Edge: Marcus Davenport/Saints MIKE LB: TJ Edwards/Eagles (Not sure that Edwards fits into what we want to do defensively) CB: Jamal Dean/Bucs S: Vonn Bell/Bengals

No reason to think with that amount of potential cap space that Holmes couldn't drop his rookie QB into a ready made roster with a talent level capable of winning now. This of course assumes he hits in free agency and the draft, as well as sees growth from the players he's drafted already. It also assumes Campbell and the staff are worth a damn and can develop this talent. $50 million in cap space is enough to bring in a couple of game changing, transformative free agents on defense.

I know it seems like chances of Mastriano winning versus Lake winning are much smaller. I considered putting Lake as my answer. But in some small, outside chance Mastriano wins, what he could potentially do to the Jewish community is downright scary in a way that almost no other candidate is, even one as nutty and dangerous as Lake herself is.

Of all the Republican candidates that could win their election, which one concerns/scares you the most and which one depresses you the most. Concerned/scared: Doug Mastriano Depresses: Herschel Walker

West Michigan, Oakland County, and a community like heavily diversifying community with a large population Canton Township (almost 100,000 people there now) have really helped keep Michigan blue. As downriver, Genesee County, and parts of Macomb have trended away from Dems these other areas have been there to balance it out. The old "If you ain't Dutch, you ain't much" conservatives out in West Michigan are fading away and aging. As you said, Wisconsin lacks a major county that is quickly flipping blue like Oakland County or a large area like Grand Rapids to help preserve its blue state status. You can only squeeze so many blue votes out of greater Milwaukee and Madison.

Whoever this Main Squeeze dude is, he killed it signing Have a Cigar by Floyd.

I'd be curious to know if someone in our Player Personnel department whose been there a while, maybe a Lance Newmark or a Dave Sears, has a fetish for the Tight End position. It is truly wild how much draft capital we have wasted on the position over the past decade. Tight End is a luxury position that you don't take in the 1st round. If you are a constantly rebuilding organization like the Lions, you can't ever waste a 1st round pick on the position. It's like trying to build a car and the first thing you go out and buy is heated leather seats when you have no engine, transmission, breaks, or tires. As for the Hockenson trade itself, I'm frankly glad he's gone. I didn't want to resign him for the money it was likely going to cost us and am glad we got something for him that we can use in this upcoming draft as apart of our rebuild. The most Lions thing ever though would be to burn another 1st round pick on the position this year after having traded Hock.

Bernie is going to be in town on Saturday rallying for the Michigan Democrats and Governor Whitmer. Shit on him all you like, but he's been out there in the battleground states working to get progressives out to vote.

Joe Biden is orchestrating a global cabal while suffering from alzheimer's all at the same time.

We looked better than they did against Penn State is really my only reasoning for it. If you take last year into account, we beat them last year too.

Clemson ahead of Michigan is some bullshit. Clemson is fraudulent and I believe would lose if they played Michigan or Ohio State. I think Michigan deserves to be ahead of Ohio State as well.

I'm going to duck for cover after saying this, but the New York Giants have the 5th youngest roster and the Atlanta Falcons the 6th youngest roster.

As a Millennial, I sincerely hope that my generation and the Gen Z'ers show up in 2020 numbers (or greater) to protect our future. Please God!

Simon Rosenberg is one of the Democrats top data guys, at least he's being sold that way and sells himself as such. He's putting a lot of stock in the fact that he feels early voting is good for Dems compared to 2020 numbers. Seemingly an increase in early voting compared to 2020. Additionally, he is talking about how R leaning pollsters are flooding the market with R positive polling to bump the averages up in their favor. I admit that I like and am buying into a lot of what Rosenberg has to say as of late about the R wave not materializing like the media is predicting.

Does anyone else get the feeling, based on early voting data, that polls are woefully underestimating Democratic enthusiasm and turnout?

I'm probably being hyperbolic saying I don't know who left on the schedule they can beat, I admit that. They probably can beat the Panthers and Bears. However, the Patriots were starting a third string, rookie QB, making his NFL debut. They lost that game and got embarrassed in the process. Furthermore, this team struggles against mobile QBs as evidenced against the Eagles and Seahawks. While I recognize that the Bears are a generally terrible team and getting worse with all the trades they've made, they have the type of QB that this team struggles against. I don't think the Bears are by any means an automatic win.

Are we in tank mode now for the #1 pick? Is that what this is?

The Packers are playing like one of the worst teams in the league right now, so it seems. Hopefully the Lions turn around their 2nd half offensive woes and play enough defense to get by because this is a very winnable game. This might be just what the doctor ordered though for Green Bay though. Nothing would be more SOL then for the Packers to get a bounce back win against the Lions. Probably on some late game BS too. If we don't get a win here then I am really struggling to see where the next win comes on this schedule.

Mike Valenti and Rico Beard were shameful today. They literally excused violence and as you said, made it out to be all Harbaugh's fault. Some of the worst radio I have heard in a long while from them.

Sure. I take big opinions on things and sometimes I am wrong. I mean, I could take no opinion and just try to act like a water carrying contrarian all day.

What would it take for you to accept that Campbell is a bad coach having a bad season?

If the old board was still you could have seen my posts. I was calling for the Lions to draft any one of Tua, Herbert or Isiah Simmons. Tua atop my list over Herbert.
