The Bears picking first may work to the Lions advantage. I think it increases the odds they trade down to a QB needy team. The more QBs go in the top five the better.
This is how I read it. He’s not going to buy Harbaugh to the NFL by throwing buckets of money at him, but if he’s going anyway, Ross will say “might as well be Miami!”
The Dolphins would be incredibly stupid to fire Mike McDaniel, but I agree that if they do they will hire Harbaugh the next day (and probably violate the Rooney Rule).
I’m going to put this into the world now in case I’m disappointed in 24-30 hours…. No matter what happens tomorrow, this season was a resounding success.
With that being said…
Rams 24 Seahawks 15
Lions 40 Packers 34 (OT)
Maybe against Seattle this year when they killed a play for a "clock malfunction" without blowing the whistle and took a Lions defensive stop off of the board? Naturally immediately followed up by a Seattle TD (that could be the difference in making the playoffs or not).
That's the only time I remember the Ford Field crowd going ape shit on the officials this year.
