That was a great run by Josh Jacobs. Tip of the cap.

Love and Lafleur both always look like they are about to cry.

Did not like the OPI against Pickens. Let 'em play.

Ugly game.

Yes, I am spoiled by watching Detroit, but neither of these teams (LAC - HOU) looks very good.

Yes and yes, but everybody is playing faster and harder under McClellan. This is no defense of Petry, but an indictment of the coaching malpractice that dragged every player down under the old regime.

This assumes Hutch heroically returns for the Super Bowl and takes Lamar down twice.

Man, this winning streak really puts the L in Lalonde. He will never get another head coaching gig.

...and told the Pats to get lost.

As with Spielman, I assume some of these interviews are as much intelligence gathering opportunities as anything else. Maybe Spielman or Fraley will knock the interviews out of the park, but a lot of franchises want to know the ingredients of the special sauce.

PIT-BAL: First team to score 19 wins.

Blew out Bills, Broncos, and Texans. Thumped the Steelers.

Undoubtedly.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Woody Johnson just wants to interview Spielman to figure out what the secret sauce is. He was the first big hire Detroit made in turning around the worst franchise in the league. He has said before that he does not feel qualified for the GM role and it would surprise me if he was offered or took it. But I suspect Woody Johnson wants to know more about Detroit’s organizational structure.

I think the team loves Carlton Davis and he loves them back. He and a lot of other FA players will be aware of how much Detroit’s staff develops and plays to the strengths of the players. This will help Detroit keep or attract a few FAs who might have gotten similar or slightly better deals elsewhere. Davenport only got $3 million guaranteed. Nobody is going to plan for 17 games out of him but someone will sign him and it won’t be for a lot. With how Mahogany looked in his first game, Zeitler might be the odd-man out on the OL.

Even so, if, hypothetically speaking, Dan Campbell were somehow to become available at the end of the season, there is not an owner in the NFL who wouldn’t see him as an upgrade. Maybe the Hunt family would be justified in hanging on to Andy Reid over Campbell in this hypothetical scenario, but then again, Reid may retire (or have a massive coronary) at any time. Maybe the Rooney family would stick with Tomlin, who is a stud in his own right. The Harbaugh boys might be safe. The Walmart folks might be afraid to call Sean Payton into their office. But even these franchises would take a long hard look.

Not only does Dan Campbell deserve the award, they should rename it to the Dan Campbell Coach of the Year award.

I love this meme of Detroit’s domination of the NFL on so many measures.

Amazing.

Anzalone is just that good.

I have been getting way too much enjoyment listening to the Vikes crew melt down over the Vikes meltdown.

The Lions broke Minnesota. They are going out in the first round.
