Week Sixteen: Detroit Lions (10-4) @ Minnesota Vikings (7-7)

On the flip side, it seemed everyone outside of New York Jets HQ didn’t really understand the infatuation with Zach Wilson. I don’t remember anyone publicly going to bat for him.

Trevor Lawrence has kind of been a disappointment. He's still not this generational QB.

I think Sewell is a guy who people will look back in ten years and wonder how the hell he fell to #7.

No doubt, he's a future HOF but this is also a draft filled with great players maybe one of the best non-QB drafts of all time when all is said and done. Parsons, Sewell, Darrisaw, Slater, Dickerson, Chase, Waddle, Smith, St. Brown, Surtain, Horn, Hufanga etc.  Could be 3-4 all time greats in there. I'd also like to add McNeil just to sip on more Holmes kool-aid.

The best part of the McNeil pick is how the Eagles tried to be cute and lost out on him.

I thought he had been a healthy scratch, but it sure looked like addition by subtraction in the backfield (when Anzalone wasn’t expected to drop 40 yards in coverage at least)

Sewell showed up on the injury report with a shoulder injury. He was limited but not out of practice.

I think the two 1,000 yard rushers is more likely than 1,000 yard receivers. I don't know if Laporta will be able to average enough.

That's my feeling as well. Against the Saints he really went off... 140 yards. Outside of that he's only averaging 47 yards per game. Now, if he gets another game over 100+ yards then that makes it much easier, but I don't see that coming.

I’m in my weekly league and Jameson Williams is bowling in a lane next to me (open bowling lane).

Unless he has a 242 yard game. 😎

Do not ask him to place a wager on the game. I repeat, do not bet on the game.

Tried to be as sneaky as possible. He bowled a 160.

I thought about telling him to be careful to not break a finger. He seemed to be enjoying his time with his lady friend, so we didn’t interrupt.

Should have yelled out Jameson and threw something at him to see if he caught it or dropped it.

He really hates the media, doesn't he? He always seems agitated in media sessions, the guy is probably sick of talking and just wants to get out there and hit people.

The Vikings defense ranks dead last in completion percentage. Their blitzing allows for short passing and the rank near the bottom in DVOA to passes to RBs and TEs. They are also one of the worst defenses on passes over the middle. All areas where the Lions thrive. Get the ball out quickly to Gibbs or Montogomery in the flat and let them break tackles.

But Ben Johnson is really smart. He knows that the Vikings know that the Lions know. So...he'll call long pass plays to fool everyone. 😆😆
