Interesting to see that all the mobile QBs have been eliminated from the playoffs this year. All the people who want to run Goff out of town for a more mobile QB I guess don't want to have their team still in the playoffs. Granted, I wanted to run Stafford out of town once upon a time and for that I was WRONG!

Brady was high on my list for Michigan coaching candidates, so I'd have no problem with him being considered here for OC. Do you fault Brady's play calling for Allen fumbling the ball twice and throwing multiple INTs in the playoff game against Denver. I suppose on one or two of them you could link it back to play designs and whatever. But I don't look at Brady's playcalling as the reason Buffalo lost that game or failed to get past the Kansas City hump each of the last few seasons. He's a young, up-and-coming coordinator who I would love to have here as an OC now that he's likely available.

Never forget, this is a guy we're supposed to reaver as a national hero.

I've started looking at prospects and who I would love for the Lions to get. For the first round, I'm only looking at offensive lineman and Edge/DE's right now. I know Brad Holmes goes BPA when he drafts, so most any non-QB or special teams position is an option. I really think though that we need to be spending our 1st round pick on either Oline or a pass rusher of some sort. I would go crazy if we were able to land a guy like Spencer Fano from Utah at Tackle. He's the top Tackle in the draft most likely, so that probably isn't happening. But man, you talk about rebuilding the line and quickly, having two maulers at the Tackle positions in Fano and Sewell would do it. I think we have better odds of getting the other Utah Tackle in Caleb Lomu or getting the Guard from Penn State Olaivavega Ioane.

Shocker as in Yzerman sat on his hands and didn't make a move or shocker as in Vegas was aggressive and made a move?

Days like today really frustrate me and make me hate this franchise and this team. 59 Super Bowls and the Ford family and their pathetic franchise hasn't even lucked into one ****ing Super Bowl. Meanwhile, in a matter of two years post Bill Belichick, the Patriots drafted a new QB, rebuilt their roster from the ground up, and are making a Super Bowl. Meanwhile, this franchise and the smartest guys in the room in this regime are going backwards. I get it, progress isn't always linear. But to see New England go back to get another Super Bowl, to see them rebuild their franchise in two years, disgusts me. Boston sports fans have it so damn good. I don't actually hate this franchise or this regime. It's just so frustrating.

A complete bitch move by him. In this big a game, you go for it every time. Way to important of a game to be turtling like that and quitting.

Come on, **** off New England. They have a 15 year, multi-Super Bowl run with Tom Brady and now they're likely going back in less than a decade. Meanwhile, we're sitting at home not even in the playoffs yet again. Some fans have it sooooooooooo good. Unbelievable.

Nice job to every ****ing clown who voted for this clown. I thought we were more respected than ever around the world? By the way, if we do invade Greenland, I expect every big mouth, fake tough guy in MAGA to enlist. What an absolute ****ing embarrassment this all is.

Is Kasper finally coming back to life here?

Don't forget about being white and a man too. White men get off way easier than Somali-American people. If they weren't black Trump wouldn't give two ****s. He doesn't care about Brett Favre, Ted DiBiasie and his son, or any of the dozens and dozens of hucksters and fraudsters he has pardoned. Trump hates black people at his core. He likely believes all the usual tropes and stereotypes about blacks. Those he does keep around are tokens and for photo ops to prove he is not some racist. There's a reason though you haven't heard him say jack **** about the $80 million welfare scheme in Mississippi but you have heard him groaning on about the fraud in Minnesota.

I think I'm out on Arthur Smith as well. His offenses were subpar and underperformed in Atlanta. That was with guys like Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts. That is a solid set of weapons. He also trotted out Desmond Ridder as his starting QB instead of getting himself a real NFL QB. There are several names I am interested in well before Arthur Smith. Not just the big names either like McDaniel, Roman, and Stefanski. Jake Peetz, the Seahawks Passing Game Coordinator, is a young up and coming name I really like. He made Sam Darnold work and their passing offense didn't really suffer even after trading Metcalf.

Wasn't Arthur Smith heavily criticized in Atlanta for giving Tyler Algiers nearly as many carries at RB as Bijan Robinson, their highly touted, first round RB?

I was at the game. It was actually announced that they were chugging one beer for every free agent Scott Harris signed. They had two beers and that was it.

I mean, if we mocked Trump we'd have to bring teenage girls out naked so he could watch them strip and change. But that would be a pretty lude and disgusting thing to watch publicly. Trump would enjoy it I'm sure. He seemed to enjoy it at the beauty pageant when he walked in on them.

Once upon a time when the Lions had fired Jim Schwartz I wanted Greg Roman to be our Head Coach. I don't think what happened with San Diego this year is Roman's fault really. 4 of their 5 starting offensive lineman went down during the season. How is any coach or QB supposed to succeed with a line that is essentially all backups? I don't think I'd be mad if we interviewed Roman to be our OC. There are others I have higher on the list, but we could certainly do worse.

I doubt that Mike McDaniel as a bi-racial black-white man and someone like Mike Tomlin or Todd Bowles as older, darker-complected black men have had the same life experience or would face the same levels of discrimination. Now far be it from me to tell someone else what type of discrimination they have and have not faced in life. But I'd venture to guess growing up that unless you knew McDaniel's parents and saw that one of them was black, you'd even know he was bi-racial.

Ok, I'll take it. We didn't deserve to win after the 1st period of play. But what a goal to cap the game off and win one for Sergei on his night.

Pathetic. We've had two shots on goal this entire period.

That was a ****ing rotten call for a slash on Raymond there.

Gibson is keeping us from blowing this lead. He's had three big saves in last minute and a half of play. We've gotten zero sustained offensive pressure in the last period and a half worth of play. I think we have two shots on goal this entire 3rd period.

We've gotten lucky and Carolina a bit unlucky that a few bounces didn't break for goals. Carolina is one of the better forechecking teams in the league too and we've handled it fairly well tonight, even if puck luck and bounces have gone our way. Gibson having a nice game too. He's turned it on this last month compared to where he started the season.

Just like that, it's 1-0. Maybe JVR will score all 5 goals tonight.
