  1. I thought Campbell and Glenn coached a solid game overall. Good coaching beeped keep them in this game. I mocked Stafford once on a post that Goff had to bean to a Super Bowl and he hadn't. Yeeeeeaaaahhhhh, can I have that one back? This guy is like playing NFL Blitz and watching the announcer yell "He got picked off" over and over again. I don't know if there is a video game glitch or just a general lack of talent that made him a turnover machine.
  2. Are we feeling more confident that they could be the Eagles given the fight we saw today against the Rams?
  3. Insert quarter, get turnover. Goff is a turnover machine.
  4. Welp, this lead won't last long. Another big play given up by the defense. I was about to post how well they've been playing after the Henderson stop.
  5. And by revenge you mean lose by 30.
  6. Harbaugh better not blow this. We are expecting both MSU and Michigan to be undefeated for next weeks game.
  7. The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiasie got wrapped up in this scandal too I believe.
  8. Way to go Lions on the Spielman induction, that was a classy move.
  9. Leremy Tunsil got two 1sts back in a trade, why couldn't Decker at least net us one? LT is one of the most important positions and people pay a premium for good ones. Decker is still young enough and I think good enough to warrant asking for a 1st or 1st plus.
  10. They are moving him back to RT when Decker returns specifically so he can be a garbage fire like he was in the preseason. I would like to see him stay at LT and them move Decker to RT or trade Decker for a 1st.
  11. This team is garbage and the front office/coaching staff should just accept that and keep the assets they have. Trading a draft pick for another mediocre or bum WR is going to do nothing this year and would be a stupid decision. This years' team is a lost cause and is not worth salvaging. Pile of the draft assets and stay focused on the future.
  12. Didn't Green Bay already roll the dice and take their next Aaron Rodgers with Jordan Love? I can't imagine Green Bay wanting to keep Rodgers around and then go and waste another 1st round pick on a QB this year.
  13. Thibodeaux would be my pick if we were drafting right now over Hutchison or any of the QBs. I still like Corral and Willis, but we're going to be so bad next year too that we can afford to wait once again on a QB.
  14. Can we get control of the Facebook page or is that toast?
  15. If we're going defense, and I wouldn't mind that at all, I'd be willing to take either Thibodeaux or Aidan Hutchinson #1 overall. We need an explosive, double-digit sack, pass rusher in the worst way. I think either Thibodeaux or Hutchinson would fit that role. Chris Olave is the guy I want with the second 1st rounder if he is still there when we pick at the back end of the 1st.
  16. If we are waiting until 2023 to draft than Bryce Young from Bama and Anthony Richardson from Florida (at this point) likely become options in addition to Stroud. If we passed on a QB this year I wouldn't have a problem because we still won't be good enough to win anything of note next year.
  17. Malik Willis had a poor performance this past weekends throwing 3 picks, but I'm not writing him off yet after one game. He and Matt Corral are still on my list of guys I like.
  18. He had to trade for Goff the second time in order to make the salary work for the Rams. I would think Holmes, Dorsey, and Agnew can look at Goff and see he isn't the guy long-term. Holmes may have really loved Goff at one time or maybe it was Les Snead. But John Dorsey has no connection to Goff at all and thus I would assume, little to no loyalty to the guy. If Dorsey is a strong voice in the room, I can't imagine given that he's drafted QB replacements before, he would be all in for Goff.
  19. Hock was down there, should still be Lions ball.
  20. LOL they just ripped that ball outta there.
  21. Flag down, pass interference on the Lions.
  22. This is going to be a blow out.
  23. The facts back me up on the devastation NAFTA produced with manufacturing and industrial job losses. Also, Trump never once proposed a VAT tax and was all over the map on tariffs. Outsourcing exists because a favorable business, regulatory, and tax climate allow it to exist.
  24. American businesses or businesses in any country do what governments allow them to do. If the government sets up systems in place to allow them to offshore their workforce or dodge paying taxes, they will tax advantage of that system. In the United States we have setup a very business-friendly system with one-way trade agreements, limited tariffs, deregulatory policies sweeping across industries, low corporate taxes, and no VAT. So in the 1990s Clinton's economic ideas were to embrace deregulation, globalism, and the idea that opening up China would make it a more democratic and free society, when it should have been the opposite. First, the premise has to be established and accepted that you cannot, unless doing so in the form of aid/assistance, trade with third world economies or you will lose your blue collar base and ultimately begin to shrink the middle class of your country. Yes, technology has played a bigger role than globalization and trade on manufacturing job loss, I get that. But there is no reason that the remaining manufacturing sector that does exist should be impacted by globalization and one-way trade deals like NAFTA, CAFTA, GATT, and PNTR. Clinton should have rejected signing NAFTA and rejected giving China normalized trade-relation status. Instead, he should have pushed for more restrictions on imports with targeted tariffs and a VAT tax. If you want to manufacture something in China, India, Vietnam, or elsewhere that's fine, but you're getting slapped with a VAT tax equal to the price you believe it would cost you to make in the US, having to pay an American worker. Clinton should have made it unfavorable for goods to be manufactured and assembled overseas/in Mexico and then brought back to the US for sale. Those actions should have been coupled with an FDR-style American Works Program that included worker retraining for displaced manufacturing employees and educational assistance for those looking to go into higher ed or another skilled trade. The one thing Clinton did wisely do was raise the corporate tax rate, but he didn't raise it high enough and never had the proper enforcement mechanisms in place. He didn't end the tax loopholes corporations enjoy, nor did he higher enough auditors at the IRS to enforce the existing tax code. If you want to stop outsourcing of jobs overseas then stop it. There needs to be the risk of financial loss and threat in place and enforced by the government as a mechanism to stop or curtail outsourcing of production. Take GM for example in the 1980s and Michael Moore's famous documentary Roger & Me. If Roger Smith faced the prospect of having a 20% tariff or VAT slapped on every car he sent from Flint now down to Mexico to be manufactured, the businesses model of GM likely wouldn't have changed the way it did.
