  1. Did Brian Daboll inherit a good team in New York? Did Robert Saleh inherit a good team in New York? Did Arthur Smith inherit a good team in Atlanta? I believe that Campbell did inherit a piss poor, terrible roster. I believe that this was a 2+ year rebuild. But the whole "Campbell inherited the worst roster in the league narrative" becomes less potent when you look around the league and see 3 first or second year coaches having significantly more success than Dan Campbell is having, with rosters that weren't expected to be any better than ours. In the case of Brian Daboll, his GM Joe Schoen is also in the first year of his job alongside Daboll.
  2. What an incredible take down of Herschel Walker by this Pastor.

  4. Huge win for Lula da Silva and the people of Brazil. Also, an understated aspect of Lula winning is that this is a huge win for the rainforests of Brazil Bolsinaro was the worst environmental President on Earth for what he did to the rainforests in that country.
  5. Let's say the Lions win 3 games this year again and not a single game on the road. Going 6-27-1 over two seasons, with no road wins is not just a sign of futility from the coach or broader organization. It is a troubling sign that your players aren't developing and improving under your leadership and your staff's leadership. If there is no growth on the field from individual players, position groups as a whole, and the entirety of a team, what's the point of keeping the coach around for more of the same? I'm not saying fire Campbell yet because I want to give him the benefit of the doubt and hope that we will see improvement from here on out. But going 6-27-1 with no road wins over two seasons is Rod Marinelli/Hue Jackson level of bad. It's really hard to justify keeping a guy at that point once the season is over.
  6. Fredo Trump Jr. is the worst combination of being both dumb and repugnant.
  7. The one other person that HAS TO BE FIRED if Campbell goes is Rod Wood. If Campbell does go there is no reason why the Team President who helped hire the last two failed head coaches should keep his job. Sheila has to fire Rod Wood if she's going to fire Campbell.
  8. We're about to potentially be 1-7. If that isn't the wheels falling off, I don't know what is. How much more of a leash does Dan Campbell get? I've said all season and preseason that I wanted to see growth and improvement more than wins. While I still believe that, at some point though you have to start winning. If you're still sitting at 1 win and you're 1-7, 1-8, 1-9, and can't win a game on the road ever, the improvement argument holds less and less weight with every loss.
  9. What a slow ass start by Michigan.
  10. Young does more than just extend drives by scrambling, which he does. He also steps up in the pocket to get by the pass rush and deliver the ball to an open receiver on a developing play. One of the continuing narratives on Goff, as shared earlier from the tweet by MB, is that Goff takes the sack or misses the downfield shot because he drops back so far in the pocket. If Bryce Young were 2-3 inches taller he'd be the consensus #1 pick and #1 QB I think.
  11. I think of all the harmful things that right wing media has done over the years from Rush Limbaugh to Fox News to Steve Bannon, it's the fact that the truth, honesty, facts, and integrity have no value in our political system anymore. If you tell a lie often enough then it becomes reality to the masses and the right wing media ecosphere and the people in it really understand it.
  12. Screw a football game. Edwards should be suspended for the MSU game. He's got to know better than that and if he really believes that about Jewish-Americans and Jewish people, then he's a terrible human being!
  13. I really miss the Notre Dame game.
  14. Another day, another Herschel Walker abortion . . .
  15. I share a lot of indie country, Americana, and singer-songwriter stuff on here and if you dig that kind of music you should give a listen to Charles Wesley Godwin and his 2019 album Seneca. Seneca Creek (song below) and Strawberry Queen are my two clear favorite tracks from the album.
  16. They were talking about who is the Lions most tradable commodity today on Doug & Scott on the Ticket. TJ Hockenson's name came up as one of the most tradable commodities we have. If someone was willing to give you either a 2nd round pick or if not that, a 3rd round pick, at the trade deadline for TJ Hockenson would you make either trade?
  17. We're the Commanders at that point if we draft Will Anderson. A loaded defensive line and an overpaid guy at QB with a few nice weapons around him. In the Commanders case they have Wentz and we'd be stuck with Goff.
  18. After ragging on Stafford for the last 3-4 years he was here, only to have him prove me wrong the first year he left Detroit, I really wanted to give Goff a chance. But Goff looks lost and completely out of it in game. He played like the bum the last two weeks in a row and showed all of his worst traits from fumbling to throwing the ball in coverage and getting picked to refusing to step up in the pocket and taking a sack as a result. Goff has showed us enough that I think it is becoming safe to feel like he isn't the answer for us long term at QB. I don't think we can afford to pass up on a potential franchise QB in a league dominated by offensive production. If we do, and draft Will Anderson instead, then I worry we'll be the Washington Commanders 2.0. That is a team with a stacked defensive line and a bum at QB, always searching for his replacement.
  19. I thought this exact same thing. You're seeing Trafalgar, Cygnal, Rasmussen (to an extent) and other various right-leaning pollsters flood the market with polls showing GOP closing in or pulling ahead in all sorts of races. You have to wonder if it is a purposeful tactic on the part of GOP and right-leaning pollsters to change the media narrative and sway things back towards the GOP. It almost seems like a coordinated political strategy and knowing how the right and GOP operates in this country, I wouldn't doubt that it is.
  20. Please be accurate! These new numbers from two different Morning Consult polls are encouraging. Difference with these two polls and a lot of the other ones out there is the huge sample size. Now, if their sampling and modeling methods are off it won't matter if they surveyed 7, 700 or 7,000 people, that will skew the polling data. But still, you like to see these numbers if you are a Democrat with early voting starting and the election being in the home stretch. Poll #1: Generic Congressional Ballot: Dems +3 with 7,800 likely voters polled Poll #2: Generic Congressional Ballot: Dems +2 with 7,947 likely voters polled
  21. The Bears are about to be 3-4. Things are looking worse and worse for Campbell as everyone around him keeps winning and he keeps losing.
  22. We got nothing yet again from 3rd round picks Ifate Melifonwu and Alim McNeill yesterday. I don't believe Melifonwu even played. Alim McNeill has 8 tackles on the year, 0 sacks, and a PFF grade of 62. I can't recall a single game where I saw McNeill being a difference maker when he was in this year. At this rate, through 6 games, he's on pace for around 21-22 tackles, which is less than last year.
  23. In God We Don't Truss!
