I don't pretend to know what Jalen Ramsey is like, but I'd think long & hard about the impact he would have on the locker room before I pulled the trigger.

Covid was such a game-changer. More & more talent are working from home, which I don't mind at all from an on-air standpoint. Content is content - but I think it takes a really strong leader at the office to make sure they are engaged with their local audience, & with the rest of the staff - unless of course they're just tracking.

Couple that with how TE production went up after he left, & I would not be surprised if DC, having been a TE himself, knew there was something amiss.

That's true, but the Packers were a perennial playoff team when they drafted him. The Lions are trending upward, but I think have more pressing needs than to take him that early. If he slides, that's another story.

I think Harbaugh's flirtation this time was due diligence in case UM did not cough up money for his assistants & a more cohesive, competitive NIL plan. He would have gone, but wasn't hoping to, IMHO

If all that's true, Warde needs to go NOW

If I'm gonna get really nit-picky, if you watch that play develop on the screen, St Brown is even more wide open at like the 5 yard line. I know we didn't need a TD, but Goff never looked that way. Still, he did get the ball out of his hands quickly & it was a well designed play.

THAT is awesome! DJ Chark .. doo doo doot doot doo doo 😅

I wouldn't mind another RB for depth, but I wouldn't do that until 3rd round or later. We have other needs first. I do agree you likely wouldn't get much in return for Swift right now. There were times this season when it looked like he was broken, then 3 plays later dynamite!

That Jamaal Williams post-game interview was legendary. Man I hope they bring him back.

Why don't they just determine seeding based on win percentage?

I'd be okay with Hart or Moore - but I would hope they'd at least interview others.

A loss to CMU last night. C.M.U. That's embarrassing. It's time to find a better coach.

Several years ago I was preparing to buy my first laptop. I had saved the cash, done the legwork, & was waiting for Black Friday deals. Logged on to Best Buy's website & found what I wanted for $300-$400 cheaper than the other places I'd checked. Ordered it on Black Friday. On December 23, they emailed me & said "We're sorry - we no longer carry this item." It was for me, so nobody's Christmas was ruined but mine - but I haven't shopped there since.

I don't see him as a political guy at all. His mantra has always been "Play as long as you can; Coach as long as you can; Die" I don't see him doing anything else, including TV.

My gut feeling is that he doesn't leave this off-season, but my gut is notoriously stupid when it comes to this kind of thing.

Of all the things the new 12-team playoff promises to bring, the end of this big gap is the best of them.

Man. I don't ever remember making it past 99 ...

My first thought was James Harrison with the Steelers.

That was beautiful!

It's comical to look thru this game thread & see certain posters going completely ape shit for 3 quarters - posting 1 negative thing after another - & then go radio silent after the Brock Wright touchdown & have zero posts since.

If you're not looking south, I'm assuming cold weather isn't a deterrence? Midland, MI is a college town, good business community, a small center for the arts, a fortune 500 company that makes it very diverse ethnically, & yet not TOO big. Plus you have the added bonus of being within driving distance of a HUGE number of morons.

That play is the reason I hate USC to this day.

I think the sign of a good leader is giving credit publicly to others, & at times allowing yourself to be self-deprecating. So many "alphas" will never allow themselves to look silly - DC does that beautifully.

He strikes me as a poser. He got into a perfect situation in Seattle, with an innovative coach, a bruising RB & a great defense - but like the media always does, they give the credit to the QB. He also begins to believe his press clippings & think he really is a great leader. Winning is a great leader. I don't think Aaron Rodgers is a particularly good leader either.
