i dont think beasley will get as much as we think. the real concern is overpaying beasley based on one year. dont give him too many years on any deal. go find the next beasley on a nice one year deal. better yet, DRAFT the next beasley in round 2.

who got hurt?

it would have taken a LOT more for michigan to be any good this year. their entire offense sucked, not just the qb. i'm not sure it will be massively better next year, and im sure the defense will be worse.

lol. i dont know why you guys have such a massive chip on your shoulder. you were the best team in college football this year. like you said, everyone spent money. relax and enjoy your 2 loss national championship. take a little ribbing. 😉

ohio state should blow the doors off notre dame. despite the coaching malpractice that was the michigan game, ohio state is the best team in college football. money well spent.

two loss national champions shouldnt exist.

he's gping to find things are a little different in chicago. the bears are a mess. ownership is terrible (but they wont meddle). he has a lame duck gm and new president who seems to think everything is about him. they are embroiled in a stadium controversy and asking a broke city and state for money for it. oh, and their oline stinks. caleb williams has talent to make plays "off platform" but hasnt really shown much in the pocket. he's not someone like goff who makes good reads and works the middle, but he has a lot more athletic ability than goff has and can get out of the pocket (despite the "jared goff ran a good 40" folks, he aint mobile). they have a scat back in swift but no other backs. they will need to replace 4/5 of their oline. they have an aging free agent at wr who makes too much money in keenan allen, a good wr who thinks he's the best in the league in dj moore, and a rookie. they have an overrated tight end who is just ok. the defense is solid but not as good as they think it is. the secondary is really good though and young. and you have to deal with bears fans who think they should be 12-5 at a minimum every season. they were printing playoff tickets when they took williams this year. he's got a real challenge on his hands now. i like ben johnson and thank him for his service, but i hope he falls flat on his face. we'll welcome him back in 3 years. maybe.

seriously. the lions have been a top 5 offense for three seasons when he's been in charge, went 15-2 this year, and then they lose a playoff game becuase of jared goff turnovers and injuries on defense and the guy is suddenly a bum. come on. he's one of the best play callers in the league. tip your hat, buy him a beer, and wish him nothing but pain and misery in chicago.

i couldnt care less about this game. football is dead to me after saturday.

love it when cade outplays jalen green.

i'd be worried about lavine coming here for all the reasons ive stated before: selfish, plays no defense, opted out last year rather than play, will think this is "his team" and thus make even more selfish decisions. plus, where does ivey fit in next year? on the positive side, it would give them a dynamic scorer that they lack. he's kind of like a bigger kyrie irving, but more reluctant to pass. if kyrie and luka can coexist in dallas, why cant lavine and cade coexist here? the fit with lavine, ivey, and cade would be really awkward and i dont see how they make it work with them being on the court at the same time. unless they just want to eschew defense altogether and just try to outscore teams. or do you then move ivey for a rim protector? and if they got lavine they would be capped out, right? im not sure about that but i think theyre right up against it next year. youre trading interior defense and hustle for expensive superstar offense. in the long run, superstar offense is harder to come by. but i still have reservations about taking lavine and his deal.

new coach bump was fun while it lasted.

would you make that deal?

this is not part of any "process". youre trying to put a narrative on a series of random events. its a human thing to do but the 90s red wings are not some blueprint for every detroit team that gets good. this wasnt their year because of injuries to the defense. they may never have "a year". it happens.

😭

jimmy butler is an ass.

copp/1st round/wallinder would be a dream deal for detroit. buffalo would likely want kasper or cossa. but who knows!

dude, its buffalo. they also traded jack eichel, and sam reinhardt, and casey mittlestadt (who sucks now but you get my point, right?) buffalo drafts very high every year, mismanages their cap and roster, hires bad coaches, and then ends up starting over by trading really good young players about to enter their prime for draft picks. rinse. repeat. i hope we could pull cozens for rasmussen and a pick. 1) it wouldnt work salary wise without other corresponding moves; and 2) someone else would beat that offer. cozens is signed to a longer term deal so its not like buffalo will lose him for nothing. this isnt debrincat. we'll see. theyre playing pretty well without cozens so maybe they decide to stay put? cozens at $7.1 av is a gamble and perhaps they can get buffalo to take less because of it?

So the department of education says title ix applies to NIL. lol. so now your nil money has to be equitably distributed between mens and womens sports. bwaaaahaahaa. let the cheating RECOMMENCE!

which of those guards would you take over cade?

and they tried to bring kasper up much earlier but he broke his kneecap in his first game.

that's the funniest thing you've said in a while. 🙂

ok. the "#8 overall pick" thing is dumb. who cares where he was picked? he was over drafted. so what? and he got to move up in the draft AND didnt have to suck up salary cap space to pay him. great move. now if you'll excuse me i need to go listen to viqueens podcasts to get my daily dose of schadenfreude .

great to see the overrated viqueens lose. also good to see matt stafford win another playoff game!

iirc, most smart lions fans were happy with that trade. not many wanted to make hockenson the highest paid te in football. and the real win was holmes taking the draft picks from the trade.
