I like this but it’s missing refs throw a flag for an obvious roughing the kicker on the punt by Fox and then decide to pick it up because the Dallas crowd was booing.
Someway and somehow the Lions defense will force turnovers. The offense will get back to better form and Dak will struggle getting his timing back.
Lions 30
Cowboys 24
Late Dallas score makes it look closer than it really was.
Both teams will be double digit favorites every game the rest of the way but the best team doesn’t always win.
I’m not even so sure both will win next weekend.
Not familiar with Moneygram but I’m probably not the only person to wonder if they were a legitimate company or not based on Gene’s prior sponsor relations.
They aren’t going 1-16 but just for S&G’s, he’d still have a job but he would be on a serious hot seat to start 2023. Would need to do something big in the first 6 games.
I’m still squarely on the side of Brad and Dan but I don’t see an issue for giving them heat on a few of their questionable decisions.
There are definite improvements on the offensive side and 2 premier playmakers have emerged. That bodes well for the future. The reality is they are going to be either 1-7 or 2-6 at the halfway point and the defense is the worst in the league and there doesn’t appear to be any quick fix in sight. Even in a rebuild there has to be some accountability when things go that poorly.
Personally, I think they will get things figured out the second half and perform better against lesser competition and end up in the 6 or 7 win area that many of us predicted.
After reading this board for a while I’ve come to realize there’s nobody to blame. It’s a total rebuild and will take 4 years. Everyone gets a free pass for the rest of this year and next. Let’s stay positive until 2024 and then maybe we can criticize the organization again.
USC was just open and he wasn’t even a candidate.
He can absolutely win at Auburn. Bama is their own thing but the rest of the SEC goes through cycles and LSU, Georgia, Florida, and Auburn have all had championship runs in a the last 20 years.
