This is weird. A few weeks ago they were singing his praises, said he was practice team player of the week I think.

I wonder if something is going to come out.

I think they activated him last week so don't they have to waive him before assigning him to the practice squad? I think they're allowed to do that 3 times per season.

How many times have you heard his name this year during the games? 

He was active the last two weeks, but I would have thought they’d ditch an Allen Robinson before him. I don’t think they get him back to the practice squad.

I’ll defer though they’ve more than earned it.

If they’re on the practice squad they can come up three times. If they’re on the roster, he has to clear waivers. I expect the Panthers or Patriots to pick him up.

Sewell will play LT. 

I dunno if that's a good idea. Decker was out for the rest of the season then I'd put Sewell over there, but if he's only going to be out a game leave Sewell where he is, where he knows the plays at his position.

Last year, when Decker missed a couple games, they moved Sewell over there.

Our secondary has looked really good.  When are we getting Iffy back?    This season?     

If they end up going through this stretch of @Dallas, @Minnesota @Green Bay and @ Houston with no losses,  my goodness 16-1 or 15-2 is a very real possibility.     I keep expecting the natural thing of losing some intensity against a team like Jacksonville or Indy or a fraying Bears team, but this team doesn't seem to ever do that.     The only blemish, that Tampa Bay game, in my opinion, was from being out of sync, not having played in preseason at all and I will GLADLY trade that for an incredible run like this. 

This is such the opposite of my entire life as a Lions fan. 

And this is going to last for a few years.     With this GM's drafting and scouting abilities, this may last for a decade or more. 

Just keep Jared Goff upright and healthy.    So much of what this team does on offense is based on perfect timing that putting Hooker in there to carry it would probably be quite problematic, even though I think Hooker has a lot of talent. 

Brady was not a dynamic athlete, not that mobile, medium arm strength.   At the end Peyton Manning could hardly move and couldn't chuck it more than 35 yards anymore, but still won a Super Bowl.     It's all about Game Management.   The athletic guys eventually fade.  Lamar only has about 2-3 years of this kind of play in him, what will he be when he can't use his feet anymore? 

This is incredible.    This can't be real.    All that awful Karma snapped back like a rubber band in the span of 3 years.    

Holy **** is this fun.

I was hoping we would go 1-1 in these 2 games, against Green Bay and Houston. I preferred the win to come against the Packers. So I consider us playing with house money, 2 wins would exceed my expectations. 

And Green Bay.....Sucks. 😆
