that is anti what they did this offseason though. They wanted size. They have samuels and shakir to play inside. they needed big guys on the edge for multiple reasons. I bet they draft another big guy this draft in the middle rounds somewhere.

Im not saying he shouldn't have had a better game yesterday but much like the preseason the balls thrown to him were not very good. Two of them were short. You can count me on the ledger of not putting too much into what he does with trubisky or white. If either one 0f them has to play the bills are cooked anyway. They both look pretty awful to me. Trubisky throwing anything beyond 5 or 6 yards looked pretty poor.

The national media (of whom most can not name 3 players on the bills defense) building the broncos into the 85 bears all week is perfect for buffalo. this is exactly the situation we need. It’s the anti bengals take from two years ago. Two years ago it was the bengals line is terrible and the bills will blow them out. so having the media building up the broncos defense is perfect. Let the bills players hear that all week. They clearly responded to this type of thing going into the lions game. i hope it continues.

Oh god.

Yea. That is what I said isn’t it? Like I said I remembered because I had oxygen delivered during the game so I could avoid going to the hospital.

No. Campbell was with Sean Payton in New Orleans. Campbell played for Payton in NY and in Dallas and through 1 training camp with the saints. Bill Parcells is Sean Payton's Padre. Campbell was hired to his first job in miami by Tony Sporano. Sporano was with Payton in Dallas under Parcells and was hired as the Dolphins head coach by Bill Parcells when he took over the dolphins in 08. Aaron Glenn played for Parcells in NY and in Dallas. He played for Payton in New Orleans. Payton Hired Glenn to be the saints DB Coach and then Campbell hired him to be the DC in Detroit. Ben Johnson was on the staff with Campbell in Miami, Campbell kept Ben Johnson in Detroit when he was hired as the HC, and Johnson worked under Anthony Lynn originally in Detroit yet another Parcells guy having been on that same staff with payton, sporano in 05-06 in Dallas.

Dan Campbell is going to have two of his hand picked coordinators get head coaching jobs this offseason. That is pretty good for a guy everyone uses as a punchline. I guess you could make the case all these guys are part of sean payton's tree and in essence Bill Parcells actual coaching tree. but for now Campbell is going to have the start to a coaching tree with his two coordinators getting head coaching jobs in a few weeks. That is two more than Mike Tomlin in like 15 years as HC in pittsburgh.

thats true but they have a rookie qb who has been getting better week after week. Records don't matter anymore. Everyone is 0-0 in the tournament now.

imo if they are able to pressure hurts he will fall apart just like Darnold tonight. The difference is you have to stop their running game first and that wont be easy for anyone in either conference.

ironically the rams lost their backup rb blake corrum to a fractured forearm today.

looked like a hold at the start and a PI at the end

Every year, the most important games are always won and lost at the line of scrimmage. We are seeing that tonight. The vikings have all the flash and firepower and the lions defensive line is whipping them up front. a tale as old as time. You want to win, you have to be excellent up front on both sides of the ball.

Three Incredible stops inside the 5. Detroit looks ready to go win the nfc.

Aaron jones must have had the large taco plate and the bean dip for dinner. He needed a little extra time in the locker room

They went 9-3 down the stretch if my numbers are correct and started playing defense really well. Another year in that defense is going to make them pretty tough next year. they basically missed the playoffs because of Tua's injuries which should have been a point of emphasis for them in the offseason. Not having a good backup like Joe flacco or someone who could win you 2 out of 4 games if tua was out was basically the gm letting the team down.

did it or did the pass on the play getting dropped kill the play?

I think they played the first ever monday night playoff game the year they won the super bowl so I am sure they are fine with it.

Credit Detroits defense. They are not worried about giving up plays on the back end and are forcing Darnold to have to stand in there with guys in his face and make accurate throws. So far detroit is winning the chess match.

Goff took a helmet to his knee on top of the interception.

I think they played on a saturday night in the wild card round in the covid year. I remember because I was in a chair on oxygen with covid Pneumonia and thought I was going to die while watching the game.

If the lions win tonight I bet Aaron Glenn gets talked about like Ben Johnson and he makes a lot of sense in New Orleans.

yea if I were betting money on it I would say the Ravens win by 10+ and have the game put away in the middle of the 4th.

Somebody que up Dire Straits Walk Of Life. good lord that hit.

they are in for a battle. The steelers know how to slow them down and they might have a gimpy flowers or not have him at all. if the steelers go into this game knowing they can put more into covering andrews and don't have flowers to worry about they are going to make it hard for Jackson. They are 1 of the teams that will play the run well because they are built for it. Have to think the steelers offense being so bad last night will have them as sharp as they can be next week. Baltimore is the better team but this is just a headache of a matchup for them.

well I think its fine. The same thing happened a few years ago when Dallas went to Tampa and beat them on a monday night. Dallas had the better record and won the game. If you win your division you should get a home game. That should never change. Teams get upset all the time in the playoffs.
