  1. I think Campbell beating the Bears got him over the hump of must win games to save his job. If Campbell had lost to a pathetic Bears team I think he'd be in a lot more hot water this week and moving forward. He beat a team that he should and his guys hung tough and came back to deliver a nice win. So I think Campbell for now has himself in a safe position. As far as draft position goes, if you want CJ Stroud or Bryce Young or Will Levis, chances are high, at least at this point, that you're going to need to be in the top 5-10-15 of the draft to get one of those players. So you either end up their because that's where your record puts you or end up there because you traded a bunch of capital to move up. I want this team to keep improving and simultaneously would prefer us to move on from Goff with a new QB, on a rookie wage scale. I don't hate Goff and don't think he's been a huge problem for us, sans 1-2 games this year. I don't mind trading up to get a QB if we think one will be equal to or better than Goff: Stroud, Young, Levis, whoever. I think the rookie wage scale and small cap hit is enticing if the guy you draft ends up being as good or better than Goff. When you look at a team like the Dolphins, Tua may not be any better on paper than Jared Goff in the end. Where the advantage comes in for them is having the rookie wage scale that Tua is on so they can load up their roster and spend big to get guys like Tyreek Hill and Terron Armstead. One day soon they'll have to open the check book for Tua, but they can cross that bridge when they get there.
  2. They might come back down to Earth and Daboll might look like a loser in the end, but right now they are winning and beating good teams to do it. The other note on Daboll is that he was given a ton of credit for being the OC that helped turn around Josh Allen. I can't say that he's turning Daniel Jones into anything special, but he's winning with what he's got.
  3. The Giants don't even have a good QB or any of their good WR's playing this year. Brian Daboll is working with Saquon Barkley and a bunch of castoffs and beating division leaders like Tennessee and Baltimore. I also agree that momentum doesn't carry over year to year with a football team or any sports team. You are either talented enough and well coached enough to win consistently season over season and be a good team or you aren't.
  4. I'd like to see Michigan work in Andrel Anthony more. I can't understand why a guy whose 6'2 and that athletic rarely gets targeted. Is there something I am missing here with Anthony? Is he going out and looking like a slug at practice? Why is a 6'2 wideout not a big play, jump ball guy or a goal line stud?
  5. Historically speaking is what I was referring to. Good enough to beat the bad teams and bad enough to not beat anyone good is where we seem stuck at right now. I'm pleased to see the recent improvement and happy to see this team keep fighting for Campbell and not quitting. I think they are re-establishing what they want to be and finally developing a team identity. Over the past couple of weeks we have seen improvement from guys that weren't St. Brown and Okudah and improvement is what I've wanted to see week over week all season. Hutch, Kerby Joseph, and others on the defensive side of the ball have shown improvement. It'd be nice if this team could find some balance and consistency from week to week from here on out. Even if they don't win every week, knowing they played hard, young guys continue looking better and better, and Campbell is the reason we are winning games, not losing them.
  6. I'd be interested in seeing what indicates they are the worst 6-2 team ever. They have two marquee wins this year of division leading teams, having beaten Baltimore and Tennessee. If the Giants went out and only padded their stats and got wins over bottom feeders I'd be inclined to believe that. But they have two big wins this season.
  7. Did I not say it was a prove it game? Campbell won and proved he should continue on as a coach. If we had lost that game there would rightfully be more heat turned up on Campbell for losing to the Bears.
  8. I mean great, he did was a coach is supposed to do, win games and not be talked about in a negative light in the end. He got his first road win ever as a Lions Head Coach. Were are in purgatory and simply have to ride this season out and wait until next year. We aren't good enough yet to beat anyone that's a good team and we aren't bad enough now to just stand around and cheer for the #1 overall pick. We are right back where we've frequently been as an organization and team, stuck in the middle, telling ourselves just wait until next year.
  9. WOW!!!!!! Just like that we're tied.
  10. Holmes didn't hire Dan Campbell though, so I think he deserves the opportunity to hire his guy and build a team.
  11. Why does Campbell deserve to come back at this point? I'm having a real hard time seeing any improvement on this team.
  12. Good God we're terrible on third down!
  13. Good God we're terrible on third down! Republicans that is lol!
  14. More good news for Katie Hobbs.
  15. Another big L for the biggest loser of them all. I wonder what he's up to now as far as total wins and losses go?
  16. More votes came in for Katie Hobbs. It seems down to Maricopa County and whether or not that will rescue Lake or make Hobbs the Governor.
  17. Great cover of Dream On by Aerosmith . . .
  18. If Mike Lawler says something bad about Trump or about someone Trump wants as Speaker or in leadership, Trump will just endorsed against Lawler and one of his goons will beat him in the primary. Peter Meijer faced that same challenge and lost to John Gibbs, a Trump-backed goon, in his primary. No reason to think Lawler is anymore special or different than Meijer.
  19. I don't think being in a purple district helps. Peter Meijer was in a purple district and he lost to Trump-backed John Gibbs. Pennsylvania is a purple state as is Arizona now and we ended up with Doug Mastriano, Dr. Oz, and Kari Lake respectively as Trump-backed nominees in those states.
  20. Why would a more moderate Republican stick their neck out and do something like that? They saw what happened to Liz Cheney and Peter Meijer. It is almost certain to be an automatic loss in the primary election to a MAGA, Trump-backed candidate. While Trump's power in a general election has evaporated, this election cycle still proved he has primary power.
