Rams pick is now up to number 5. 

We might still get our QB, just not how we expected.

OK, now I see what the issue is.

The mistaken use of “dominate” in place of “dominant” is a Motownsports running joke going back to the old board. My “correction” literally had nothing to do with you and everything to do with a callback to that running joke.

Fair enough. It is a common enough mistake that it deserves to be memed.

The "games are won in the trenches" cliche held true today, that's for sure.

Hutch turned the game around with that interception. But he also had a number of other plays where he kept Jones in the pocket and pressured him into bad throws.

The Cardinals broke the Cardinals because they hired a coach who was a bad college coach and is a bad pro coach. 

The Minnesota game that got away........so frustrating.  Should be 5-5 right now. 

You can add the Dallas game to the mix as well. If they score instead of fumbling at the 1...

I have to give Campbell credit, he easily could have lost this team but he has them trending upwards. Pretty disciplined team, not many penalties and they're executing the plays. Impressive win, very impressive.

Fumble recovery....

The heck with high draft choices, I wanna see more wins. Maybe the Rams pick will be higher than our pick? Lol

you can also say they probably should have lost the packers game and were really close to losing to the bears and commies.

its a close run league.

this game and the pats game were the only ones that one team really had control of for most of the game.

okudah almost assuredly will not play against buffalo according to campbell.

No question... overall 4-6 seems like a fair appraisal with where they are at

The Rams pick is. They are not a good team and Stafford may be out along with Kupp. Even when healthy, Stafford has 8 TDs and 8 INTs. He hasn't looked right all season.

4-6 projects out to `7-10. If we assume the next draft improves them by 3 wins you have a 10 win team. 3yrs from 3 wins to respectability's not bad - if thats how it plays out.

But the Giants turned it around quicker.

Let's not get carried away here. If the Lions can keep this wagon rolling, they could back-door their way into a wild card berth.

If we do that, Campbell’s going to get his Sox years no matter what happens the next four seasons.

For anyone doubting Hutch and having hoped for one of Walker or Thibs, he certainly looks the best of the 3 rookies. Hutch has been coming on strong the past month and is proving why we took him #2 overall.

[Motown Bombers]

It really isn't a stretch to get this team to 9 wins. Carolina, Jacksonville, Chicago, Jets are very winnable games and then one win against the Vikings who are a weak 8-1 team or Green Bay who has not been as good as they have in the past.

And?

Or do you think 7-3 is the same as 4-6?
