i guess i was responding to stanley. but its not out of the realm of possibility. the nfc is terrible. the lions arent good but could luck their way into 10 wins. in fact, i put a little money on the lions to finish second to the pack in the division this year...
-
i'm as happy with the direction of the lions as anyone, but there's a lot of kool aid here. the lions offense should be better but goff caps their ceiling and they dont have any real game breakers other than jameson williams and he's coming off an acl and is a rookie receiver. dont expect a world beater yet. swift still has potential but cant stay healthy. hock is a chain mover, not a game breaker. the defense is relying a TON on rookies, second year guys, and guys coming off very serious injuries (okwara and okudah). their linebackers and secondary are not good. the line has no real playmakers unless you think hutch comes in and dominates immediately (i dont). i expect a 10-15 offense and a 20-25 defense, if they stay healthy. two #1 picks next year hopefully get you a qb and a cb and a lb. now you have something.

i think ive heard avila speak once. i dont think he's dumb, i think he's bad at the job of acquiring talented players. i dispute the idea that the organization has moved miles. i think they have moved from 0 to 10. now, 10 seems like a lot when you started at 0, but its still a long way away from 100. and let's not forget, avila was a part of the organization that put them at 0 in the first place.

lol. james harden comes up small in a big game AGAIN. that was so sweet. hope youre happy daryl morey.

that might be the only good game of the night.

he left holland with the wings and avila with the tigers. i'm not sure what he's done with those teams to indicate to you he knows what he's doing. seems to me he just left the guys in charge who were there. i.e.: the easy thing to do. but i dont know, its pure speculation on my part obviously.

Al Avila: “You’ve got to go full bore from Day 1"
buddha replied to Useful Idiot's topic in Detroit Tigers
the idea of the tigers moving is ridiculous. i'm as cynical as anyone and it makes no sense to move them. for fucks sake the PIRATES havent moved why would detroit? a town that is much bigger and actually supports its team? besides, as has been talked to death here, there arent too many markets left that could support a baseball team. charlotte? nashville? austin/san antonio? vegas? all smaller than the detroit metro area and all without baseball stadiums. i have 99 problems with the tigers but a move aint one. -
i think ownership is a hindrance because the first thing he did was put avila in charge because he didnt know what else to do. he got lucky with the wings when yzerman fell into his lap. he had to make a decision with the tigers and totally blew it.

when we went back for a wings game a month ago, we stayed at the hilton garden inn downtown. it was fine. just a short walk to the stadium area.
-

if they cant stay or get healthy, its back to 4 or 5 wins.
-
7 or 8 wins if they stay healthy and get some luck. end of the season looks favorable.
-
they already owe the bulls a protected first.

actually it means he's a lock hall of famer.

TWTW, the only stat that matters. -

bledsoe, a lottery pick, little....a trade exception?
-
that would be the play. not sure what portland could give them back, but if he really wants to leave that would be a way to make sure the bulls dont get stiffed.

baez will eventually come out of his slump. at some point, do you blame the baseballs?

rumor is lavine might go to portland. if the bulls lose lavine, they wont be very good. they lost a lot to injury this year and that killed them, but when lavine wasnt 100% they still had derozan playing better than he ever has and vucevic and they were very bad.

this was always a developmental season. the season is boring so far because tork has been predictably overmatched, greene is hurt, mize and manning are hurt. skubal is the only real reason to watch now that miggy has 3000/500/600. when the rookies come back, there will be another reason to watch. the regulars arent going to be this bad all season. guys like candy and grossman and baez will get hot. baez is gonna have two weeks where he hits 400 and slugs 600.
-
so with the releases so far we assume: open with philly at home. on the road against the pats in week 5. bears on the road in week 10, giants on the road week 11. bills on turkey day. finish at home against the bears and then at the packers.
-
full bears schedule released. they might win 5 games.
