Geno Smith is not a good quarterback.

Unless he’s playing the Lions. Then he’s basically Peyton Manning

Arghh looks like the Vikings are going to win.

[Sports_Freak]

I guess we'll have to root for the Packers next week. I feel ill...

They're a testament to how good you can be in the NFL if you just don't make mistakes. Just taking care of the ball and executing a game plan can be so effective.

Geno smith sucks so bad unless he plays the lions.

Bold take, but I think Green Bay beats Minnesota by 10 next week.

While on the topic of bold takes, an offseason trade prediction:

Seattle sends a 2nd round pick to Minnesota for JJ McCarthy

In Minnesota. I don't know, the Vikings are the luckiest team in the NFL. The Lions injuries have derailed our championship run.

Goff said in the presser that on Monday Johnson came up to Goff and asked him if he fumbled on purpose would he be able to recover it and Goff said he wasn't sure about that so Johnson pivoted to the stumble instead. I guess they called it earlier in the game but Goff checked out of it cause he didn't like the look, glad they went back to it though.

How can anybody not like him?

I think it's hilarious after the Bears fleeced the Panthers in that trade that the Panthers are the better team right now.

My guess is Mahogany is a starting guard next year, Manu is an active reserve, and Sorsdal doesn't make the roster.

The guys love playing for Campbell;

Yeah, I thought the flag flew really early on that one. But we kinda sorta got it back when the ref flagged the Bear fro tipping the ball.

[Jason_R]

He was as good as he seemed.

I wonder if Glasgow would be better if he went back to RG? Next year Zeitler walks or retires, Glasgow goes back to the right side, Mahogany start at LG, and you develop Manu to take over at RG after next year.

With how well Zeitler has played this year, I would consider re-signing him to another one-year deal if he’s open to it. You’ve got Mahagony on a rookie deal, and having too many starting caliber offensive linemen is a good problem to have.

I would bring back Zeitler too. I think Mahagony may be better than Glasgow. May have to have the discussion with Glasgow that it would be better for the team if he were a backup. He originally signed with the Lions as a backup.

Brad Holmes for the win

BTW barring some unforeseen off the field incident or major injury which given his history is no sure thing I'm thinking Jamo has played his way into the 5th year option.
