plenty of acl injuries are able to walk off

that we can’t handle the difference between “the video suggests” and “that guy definitely tore” may be as much an “us” problem

next weeks Thursday again

um, yea, throw that guy in. I think the bigger issue is getting into game shape to avoid a hamstring issue haunting in the playoffs because of how late in the season it now is

I mean, what’s the positive spin on “definitely out til January but maybe next November” he’s allowed to take that range serious and not be thrilled about it. Even best case sucks for the guy and he couldn’t rule out the worst.

The better team won. not an ounce of hesitation saying that. the lions will talk about moral victories and boneheaded mistakes from their staff managing clock… we will continue to watch for home field advantage in the playoffs while they watch our team on tv. Bills won.

Easy: most are even worse even when healthy. perspective is a hell of a thing.

they gave up 3 TDs and a FG. It was essentially “average” nfl defense despite missing most of their top end talent.

no Rousseau, Miller, tremaine, Micah, and I’m not sure what tres pitch count was 4 day week, early game on the road My having virtual practices during the blizzard I don’t always love the coaching but we also have to be real that they should be getting beat up worse than they are at this point. To even remotely hold their own is a win.

weird one to make that point in. It makes a ton of sense to have this open.

honestly, I’m no doctor so I simply want him to make a reasonable choice based on sound medical advice. I hope he is both safe but also gets back after his passion as soon as he can

davis is a sketchy WR2 and good WR3 gentry isn’t an nfl player hard to see a path to paying Davis right now so a talent infusion would be needed in the long term blue print

yup. or you line drive the hell out of it at some non hands team guy. If it bounces off his head, awesome. If not, it isn’t going to be a great return. but is “I got the hall at the 35” a momentum shift?

my gut has always said that. Or even some 15-20 yard surprise bounce high in the air “Hail Mary” to field gets you pretty close to the touchback result but with high upside of someone mishandling it or your team snagging it

or they could just be wildly inconsistent

I mean, it’s only one of the most overused memes of the last several years 🥴

Dallas may throw more with another weapon of course

his chest tattoo screamed that he follows social norms and has good discretion

do we believe that if the local team stressed the situation and a desire to move the game with a need to get out before the storm that the league would give a firm no until just after the airport closes, leaving them hunkered down the rest of the week? I suspect the team had a wait and see approach pointing at the Saturday window to bail. I could be proven wrong and the league refused to hear their arguments. real talk: move into the visitors locker room, and practice on a different schedule. It’s not like the lions are overwhelmingly using the space day to day

though there’s no reason to think he’d have the same injury here, right?

I mean, I think if someone were to look at each of our posts, yours may objectively be more emotional and overreacting but go ahead

you make the call early, and get on the plane before it starts? I too hate when the team can practice or follow an easy routine process

You did read the post I was replying to noting letting him be ready for next year? That would be 22 months from injury to return. To even suggest writing off the rest of this year would indeed be incredibly noteworthy.

ACL injuries aren’t 2 year issues in the modern nfl unless something was catastrophically wrong out of the gate. Sure you might see a hammy or some cleanup but this is becoming noteworthy in its unique handling. frankly, it seemed the team doctors thought he might’ve been back 6 weeks ago when debating how to list him back at Labor Day

perspective is a hell of a thing. Someone could argue the playoffs mean little and we are nearing a 30 year run without a Super Bowl appearance and franchise history lacking any Super Bowl wins.
