Motown Bombers

They traded for the best available pass rusher at the deadline last year.

I mean, the Lions were reported to be in on Phillips but the Lions didn't have a third round pick. Perhaps Holmes should have traded for other players that weren't apparently available. The Lions didn't have a need at S at the trade deadline. They had Branch and Maddox and Harper was playing well and Joseph seemed like he was going to come back.

In 2024 they had Joseph, Branch and Melifonwu at safety. They were set at safety. At TE they had Laporta and Wright. They were fine there. Montgomery’s original contract with the Lions would have been up now. Drafting a developmental running back who is an excellent special teamer made sense.

I could see 18 games and teams get two bye weeks. The NFL season is 18 weeks now. With an 18 game schedule and an additional bye, that's 20 weeks. I'm sure the networks would like 20 weeks of football.

I still like Vaki. His build, measurable, and style are all exactly like Montgomery. Injuries really slowed his progress this year.

Like I said, if the Eagles keep their star defensive lineman, maybe they are in the Super Bowl again. But drafting, developing and retaining isn’t fun.

Arizona had a better offense than Miami. Just saying…. but I still like McDaniel.

Let’s make a trade to make a trade so we can say we did something. If the Eagles would have just kept Sweat and Williams instead of trading for Phillips, maybe they’re still playing but they made a trade because they want to win!

I agree. The Lions should have traded for Shaheed.

His orange blubber will help him survive.
