I think thibs is gonna be a bust. He is a mess right now.

At what point does everyone conclude that WWIII has already started? This doesn’t end until Putin is eliminated. He realizes there is no pulling back. The Russian army isn’t especially formidable. Of course the big problem is the nukes. This is a tough one.

Napping has never made any sense to me.

Sean McVay is calling a horrible game.

Pretty boring 2nd half after that first play.

Here we go.

Go bengals.

Zappe has a noodle arm. Waste.

I’m seeing some mocks where they have the NC State tackle going first. I think that’s the school at least. Maybe a situation where the jets or giants, who both need edge rushers, fall in love with KT or Hutch and are want to move up to 2. Lions could then get their 2nd and maybe next years 3rd, or something like that. Then if the lions fall in love with a QB take em. If no qb, then stay at 2. Willis will be gone by 10 I think. Probably to the panthers at 6.

This take is all over Twitter, and it’s just as bad there.

Luke Fickell might say no, but you have to make him a substantial offer.

Adam’s solves a lot of problems.

Toxic is the wrong choice of words. The lions have always gotten high marks as a place to work, minus Patricia. But for the last 60 years the work environment hasn’t been toxic. It’s been bad football, but that’s different.

Fuck stafford. Seriously.

What horrible coaching by Todd Bowles. He should not be hired.

I really just want to see stafford lose.

Tonight was so incredibly delicious.

With talent this team will win. I really criticized Campbell the first 65% of the season. By the 3rd game of his play calling you could truly see the week to week improvement in his game management, clock use and aggressiveness. And man, Glenn is a great compliment. They did so much with so little. This off-season is so incredibly critical. Decent cap space (top 10), lots of draft capital and the ability to really add some talent to this roster. Gonna be fun to see how Holmes approaches the off-season. I hope Campbell continues to call plays next year.

I like the mocks that have lions taking Hutchinson and Malik Willis.

Looking at the cap numbers it would be very surprising if Trey Flowers returns. The cap is set at $208M. Currently the lions have $41M in cap space, minus $8M in dead cap and that leaves $33M. A post June 1 cut saves the lions $10M in cap space, with would then give them a total of $43 million. They could wait until post June 1, which would give the lions an additional $6M. But I’m guessing they would do flowers right and cut him early. I assume Harris and Walker will get new contracts. Goff is for sure back for next year, then his dead cap starting is 2023 becomes much more manageable. But I’d assume he will be around for 22 and 23. Overall the lions are good shape with the cap this year and heading into 23. Let’s see what the FA signings look like, that will show what Holmes is trying to do. He could sign a speedy WR and LB and then head into the draft getting an edge rusher and another WR. Suddenly the lions are looking decent in hear 2 of the rebuild.

Didn’t matter who the coordinator was with this roster. Lynn was a fine choice. Will find a job easily next season. What Campbell showed was that he could learn pretty quickly and that he could do the job better himself. He learned that as the season went on so made the change. And it worked. He improved week after week. At this point he should continue to call plays next season. I’d rather he not hire another play caller. Just keep it. That’s my preference. Campbell’s growth had a exponential growth at the end of the season, where the lions finished 3-3 while beating two of the best teams in the NFC. And you didn’t even mention the monumental shift in culture. Team and fan buy-in in one season. C+ is PFF esque.

What a horrible take. He has already proved he isn’t the meathead people thought.

I’ll start with this:
