Can't wait for the Chargers to get a comp pick if Mike McDaniel ends up taking one of the open jobs. We shoulda hired McDaniel, let him take a job this cycle, then hired Petzing as the OC after all. We coulda got our guy and our comp pick. Brad and Dan should be fired for not thinking this through.

What I meant by only for coordinators was if a coordinator of color becomes a HC. So we wouldn't get one if a position coach becomes an OC, DC, or STC correct?

Do we get a comp pick for Montgomery leaving and getting a promotion or is that only for coordinators?

If Trump simply returned to first term Trump I think his approval numbers would go up and he would be somewhat less of a drag for the GOP on midterm elections (should we still have them).

Schwartz would be the first, full time Lions Head Coach to get another Head Coaching job after being fired by The Lions. I know **** Juron was technically the first former Lions coach to get another full time job. But Juron was only the interim coach here. This could be one more step in breaking the curse if Schwartz gets this job.

I kept thinking and waiting all season that Florida would get healthier, turn it around, sit all the little kids in the division down, and take over once again. That hasn't happened. In-fact, they're probably going to miss the playoffs at this point, barring a miraculous comeback. I believe they will be the first Stanley Cup Champions since the 14-15 Kings team to miss the playoff after winning The Cup.

I mean, in his debut game in the league he blew out Matt Patricia and essentially exposed him as a fraud and a terrible coach right from game one. So he did us a Lions fans all a favor there.

Cool, trade down to get an extra pick so he can turn around and package that pick with 3 other picks to move up in the 3rd round and get a project player. I really am only partially kidding.

McVay pulled a Dan Campbell there. That was dumb not to take the FG there.

McVay is a moron. A blown timeout and then a playcall to throw it INBOUNDS when you have 10 seconds left and no timeouts.

**** this, the rich just get richer and the poor just get poorer. Being a Detroit Lions fan feels like signing up for a lifetime of emotional torture. I say that as someone who, like all of us here, still shows up every season hoping the season will go different and we'll finally make a Super Bowl. What makes it even harder is watching how easy other fanbases seem to have it, especially in New England. While we all relive another Lions failed season, Patriots fans are casually talking about their next Super Bowl appearance like it is a normal part of life. They complain about minor setbacks that would feel like miracles here in Detroit. I would trade decades of misery for even one stretch of sustained success like they have had. For just one ****ing Super Bowl apperance. Forgetc winning, just get us all one shot in the big game. And now here we are again, watching the Patriots cruise their way to another Super Bowl, seemingly handed the smoothest path imaginable. They had a historically easy regular season schedule and a cupcake playoff path. Everything falls their ****ing way and they get breaks we could only dream of as Lions fans. After a few short years of rebuilding they're right back in the Super Bowl. Just unreal to see how good some fanbases have it and how bad it gets for us sometimes.

A bad hire. It seems they were interested in treading water more than trying to blow it all up and rebuild.

Do the Chargers get a comp pick next year for a black coach being hired?

I get Brad falling in love with a guy and wanting his guys during the draft. I have no problem with that generally as I trust is scouting process. It's what got us St. Brown, Joseph, and Mahogany. Even when it fails in the case of a Brodric Martin I'm willing to be forgiving, if a bit critical of those types of moves where he gives up capital to move up. The Hooker one never, ever made an ounce of sense though. Even if Hooker was a guy Holmes had eyeballed for whatever reason, if he didn't plan to draft and develop him as a Jared Goff replacement, there was no reason for him to be taken. A clear waste of a pick that could have went into finding another starter.

What made Hendon Hooker one of his guys? Was Jared Goff not one of his guys when he drafted Hooker? Were we looking at having a dual-QB or platoon offense? Was Hooker trade bait in hopes that he'd develop and you could flip him for more in the future?

So is Trump's deal on Greenland just him folding like a bitch? What exactly did we get out of all this bluster and market volatility exactly? I thought we were going to get the whole of the island or ay minimum, all the mineral rights? So what did we end up with?

What a songwriter, what a song. John Moreland is a true poet.

Smartest guy, with the biggest IQ, who knows more about everything than anyone, doesn't realize the Swiss speak German.

If the NFL wants to make changes I still want my division winner doesn't guarantee a playoff spot change. One other change I want to see is published transcripts, as well as any audio and video communications that occur between the NFL's league officiating offices and their on-field officials during the game. You will never, ever convince me, until I see transcribed evidence pointing to the contrarty, that the league didn't buzz down the refs in the KC game on the Goff TD that wasn't. That Illegal Motion call was 100% called from upstairs/New York offices. The NFL needs to publicly release any and all communications that occur between the league's review booth, the New York office, and the on-field officials during a game.

Also, if Robert Kraft wants to prostitute himself like this and add an 18th game then fine. I want him out on the practice field, at OTAs, training camp, and in games doing the same things these guys have to put their bodies through.

I think 18 games is overkill for sure. You already have a increased number of injuries due to the players being bigger, stronger, faster, and more aggressive in their playing style. You will turn the Super Bowl into the IR Bowl. As Cardinal mentioned above, the winner will simply be who is the healthiest at that point, taking all equity, fairness, and fun out of the game itself. I am a hard no on expanding the schedule.

If you support our government invading a sovereign territory and picking a fight with a longtime ally, you can **** right off!

I was looking forward to watching the National Championship game tonight, until ESPN played a propaganda puff piece from the fat, fascistic, felon tonight. Game went off as soon as I saw ESPN turn into state TV for this fat ****.

I agree. I was only posting Petzing's stats in Arizona to share them with the group and as a point of discussion in the event there is anything we can learn from the number. I don't think it is an indictment on him as a coordinator and play caller though. Goff is a better overall QB than Murray. He's more accurate, has better mechanics, makes better decisions with the ball, and stays healthy unlike Murray. As you said, Petzing seems to have an offensive system and playbook built around a more traditional, under center QB. Designed for more runs and play action. Given Goff's a better fit than Murray and has proven he can stay healthy, I think this will be more of a true tell for who Petzing is as a coordinator now that he has the personnel to fit his scheme.
