OL depth and secondary help. And some health luck for a change. Teams that advance in the playoffs aren't always the best team, sometimes it's the healthiest team

That was bad, real bad. Punt the ball, stupid! But Denver won, so it's all good.

This comeback is going to be legendary.

Look st the penalty disparity...the NFL fix is in. Too much money on the Lions

Holding...not called. Big surprise.

He's just making up an explanation. Selling it to ignorant fans. Incomplete pass...if they incorrectly call it complete, he was down.

Is there any doubt left about the NFL officiating? Big Time Wrestling ..fixed!!

Tom Brady gets on every one of my nerves. Just.....shut up!

The Lions had a few extra days to prepare for this game. But the injuries in the secondary are a huge red flag, especially against Stafford and very good Ram receivers. Even when they're covered, they make great catches. Just too much to overcome. The Rams will cover, something like 27-17. And I hope I'm wrong...

I don't see it as how much time is left before spring training. I look at it as what players have already come off the board and which player(s) are still available? Is there still a decent SP, better than one of our rotation arms? How about a RH bat? At which position?

Thats true. Except, it was Nick Maton.

Agreed. And in order to draft those guys, his team had to lose hundreds of games. Those were some very dark Tiger days. And I dont think folks were giving Avila "credit." Folks were just saying the players they got us into the playoffs the last couple of seasons were drafted during the dark Avila days.

Are they going to limit innings for Melton?

There's also an outbreak out west. I guess people voted to bring back diseases from the 1950's. https://apnews.com/article/measles-outbreak-south-carolina-utah-arizona-3bfc561ecc16d8e80175effdae0791d4

I just read about the measles outbreak in South Carolina. And I asked myself, for the 1000th time, what is wrong with those people?

The injuries have a silver lining. It gave the bench starter minutes and experience. Priceless...now they play with confidence.

What i take from this is MAGA is afraid Bugs Bunny may be woke. 😆😆

Yeah, I was done comparing Avila and Harris 3 pages ago. I'm glad Avila isn't here and I'm glad we have Harris. But I can also admit that most of the better players that got us to the playoffs the last 2 seasons were drafted by Avila. That's an actual fact that you don't seem to want to give him credit for. But I get it, I felt the same way about Brad Ausmus. No matter what he did, I would never, ever, give him any credit. IMO, he was in wayyy over his head. And the day he got extended was the day I realized just how bad Avila was.

I said it before but I'll repeat it; I wanted Avila fired when he extended Brad. And I still say if we would have had a competent manager for those years, we could have squeaked out a few more playoff seasons. There would have been no reason to have that huge sell off. Of course, under Avila, it would have led to even more barren years.

Yes, Avila sucked. Nobody is denying that. There's no bandwagon to jump on. But the Harris moves have been...underwhelming. Flaherty and Torres have been his best moves in, what, 3 years? I've speculated, over and over, that nobody really knows if his hands are tied by the Tigers owner or not. We just...don't know. But wasting 15 million dollars on a broken down Alex Cobb, when he was planning on retiring, doesn't inspire much confidence. Would you admit that was a mistake or are you prepared to defend him with excuses? And I didnt mean to trigger you, I was mostly joking. 🙄🙄

I dont think there's too many Avila fans on this board. But there are some Harris slappies. 😆😆

True, the money for Skubal will be huge. But look at what some of these All Star type outfielders are getting. I don't see the Tigers signing Riley for $20M per season and like you said, he seems like he may break down. But cutting way back on his strikeouts and staying somewhat healthy would make him a true superstar. There really is no replacing Skubal but we may have a Greene replacement in house.

Oh my, a rested Piston team...biggest lead of their season...currently 32 points.

And expensive!
