Packers beat reporter Rob Demovsky says team has activated CB from practice squad raising doubts about Jaire Alexander’s availability. (Couldn’t get tweet to embed.)

In the trade thread on Oct. 14 I said: “We have the Vikings, Titans, and Packers before the trade deadline. Something tells me Brad and Dan will wait to see how the pass rush holds up against MIN and GB before making a trade.” This is what has happened. Brad and Dan were never going to panic like fans, nor were the other GMs going to conduct fire sales so early. After Sunday, a lot of teams will know if they gave themselves a glimmer of hope or if their fate is sealed. I suspect Holmes has laid the groundwork for a few possible trades with teams that might end up being sellers as of Sunday evening. If the Browns beat the Chargers I don’t think they will be sellers. If they lose, I think they will and I hope a 4th would get Smith. If Miami loses to Buffalo (likely) they will be sellers. Jeff Risdon suggests Emmanuel Ogbah who fits the size profile they look for. So yes I think they should and will make a move but it won’t be a blockbuster.

Yes, Brad Holmes has done such a poor job of building a roster he needs a loss tomorrow to teach him a lesson. 🙄 Love is a game time decision. If he plays, something tells me AG will do his best to make Love test that groin. They will send anyone and everyone to make Love run all over that muddy and slippery field.

Paschal out. Wingo doubtful. Skeleton crew on the DL.

Temps in the 50s. 50% Chance of rain. The tundra won’t be frozen or anywhere near it. Anytime Detroit gets to play in GB in these conditions is a huge plus. Keep it on the ground.

The bigger point is that some players are just not going to be traded, even if fans think they should be. The Browns made the playoffs last year and even though they had a terrible start to this season, the AFC has a lot of mediocre teams competing for wildcard spots. I take this as a former GM telling the audience how he would politely ask another GM to BTFO.

Yes, I know all scores are automatically reviewed. As I said the NFL is over-officiated. And it is lame. But not as lame as dropping the ball in the field of play.

This moran on the Jets dropped the ball before crossing the goal line. Cut him before he reaches the sideline. Edit: FWIW I think it is lame that they reviewed a play like that. The NFL is way over-officiated. But they should call that guy an Uber and send him home now.

The roster seems short of players that are abrasive to play against. It also seems short of guys who are abrasive to play with. Coaching matters but there have been too many games the past few seasons where the team just seems to lose its composure. It is one thing if coaches call guys out but it is another if your teammates do. They don’t seem to have that kind of leadership.

I agree with this. A lot of guys we think are available might not be available yet. And maybe a few guys we don’t think are available could be after Sunday. Also, I’ve thought since the injury that they would want a few weeks to evaluate their backups and determine how significant their need is. Seems like they were high on Muhammad’s performance.

Sometimes they are treated worse.

How do you know this? What data do you have about the number of stops that are made like this and the number of times these stops lead to arrests or charges? We make cops wear body cams because they are alleged to be too hard on black men. Now people are using the body cam footage to say cops are being too easy on black men. It seems the only winners in all this are the sanctimonious journalists who use snippets of body cam footage to manufacture moral outrage then cash in on it.

What I don’t understand is why people are getting their panties in a bunch that police did not escalate a situation with a couple of young black men who didn’t hurt anyone — except a few people’s feelings.

It is possible that he is being treated more harshly because he plays for the lions. It is not clear whether police would have gone through with an arrest had he just been some average Jaymo. But they chose not to arrest him. The only reason that this incident is being revisited is that he is a member of the Detroit Lions. it is not necessarily irrelevant for him to have said at the scene that he is a member of the Detroit Lions. Police might have assumed that he was involved in some criminal activity or was affiliated with a gang. By telling them that he is a player for the Detroit Lions, he was indicating to them that they should not be suspicious that he was involved in any other criminal action. Yes, he is immature. But they didn’t necessarily pick him for his maturity. They picked him because he is hard to catch. And the cops didn’t catch him that night. 😂 clearly, I am not on board with all of the pearl clutching. He is a kid and he should grow up. But he has not hurt anybody. He has only let himself and his teammates down.

If he’s not listening to advice from his coaches and teammates, he is not listening to people on social media enough that they enable him. 😂 He’s just living in the moment.

It would also show poor judgment to be running around those parts WITHOUT guns in the car.

At this point, he is going to have to move in with Dan Campbell. They could put cameras in Campbell’s house make a special edition of Hard Knocks. It would be like the TV show Webster updated for the 21st century.

Can you imagine a player getting coached by Dan Campbell taunting the crowd DURING A PLAY!?! Incidentally, I heard Mike Florio say he talked to Kalif Raymond after the game, and asked about the team’s success this year. Raymond said that ARSB insists on perfection on the practice field. Winning culture from front office to players.

He benched himself! Steichen must have had a dozen guys come to him and complain. ”Oh you need a breather? Take until the end of the season.”

The article was dated today! Not sure why the author would have put it out a week late. But it would be great to publish score predictions for games that already happened. 😂

We are headed into Week 9. No injury report as of yet.

Looks like rain Sunday in GB. Temperature should be in the 50s so no issue there. GB is the only team with a safety tandem as good as Detroit’s. Keep it on the ground.

Bad news when the center is calling out the QB in public.

Remember when everyone was complaining that Holmes was sitting out free agency and he waited until CJGJ fell into his lap on a one year deal for peanuts? Yes, he got injured and it didn’t work out, but Holmes did not bid against himself, even when the fans and media were calling for him to. Remember when everyone was complaining that he didn’t re-sign Jamaal Williams? Then he went out and signed David Montgomery for basically the same money (was it less?) and Montgomery ended up being the far superior player? Holmes is not going to build his team by trading away multiple draft picks for players whose teams aren’t going to trade them anyway. Crosby isn’t coming here. Garrett isn’t coming here. Hendrickson isn’t coming here. But he is on the phone to half a dozen teams gauging the market. They won’t make a deal that helps them at GB but I expect they will get someone at the deadline.

Zeitler has been in and out of the lineup over the past few weeks. It seems like the OL gets out of sync when they have to cycle in the backups.
