Detroit Lions 2023

Yeah, I know Seattle beat Detroit, but no way they're overall a better team. They beat 1-6 Carolina, 1-7 Arizona, and 2-6 New York.

Other than a home game against Washington, they have an absolutely BRUTAL stretch of games upcoming:

@Baltimore
Washington
@Rams
SF
@Dallas
@SF
Philly

If they win the majority of those games, I will agree they are a great team. But I don't see them coming out of that better than 2-5, putting them at .500 afterwards.

The Bears fortified their defensive line, acquiring Montez Sweat from Washington for a second-round pick. The Bears need a lot more help than that, but that's a good add for them.

I like this move:

What the hell are duh Bears doing trading valuable draft capital? . Was it last year or the year before they traded a first-rounder for Chase Claypool of all people?

Gibbs almost won me in Fantasy Football league only lost by 5 points 111 to 116 one more touchdown would've won the matchup I was down a lot to begin with at best a long shot. I was happy with the game other than that pick 6 would've been a Lions blowout if not for that felt more like a blowout even know the Lions only won by 12 points.

The Raiders just fired their head coach and GM.

"The Patriots Way" simply doesn't export well.

The Patriots Way was really the Brady Way.

Miami, Baltimore, Seattle, and Philly are all better teams, in my opinion.

LOL! Miami has not beaten a single .500+ team so far this season (nor were any even .500 the week the respective team was beaten, excluding the season-opening week).

Big time irony: We dump D'Andre Swift purportedly due to his lack of durability and sign David Montgomery. It's Swift who has carried 135 times and is currently third in the league in rushing with 615 yards. Meanwhile Montgomery has missed two games with a rib injury. If Swift lasts the season without missing time it'll be the ultimate irony!

I like Montgomery, but for all you SOLers who love mining for shit like this you can add it to the list.

[Honeyman]

Joshua Dobbs is looking like Lamar Jackson. If the Lions lose today, a definite possibility, lead will be down to 1/2 game.

[MWmetalhead]

Dumping Swift was a mistake. They should've kept him and still signed Montgomery.

The Vikings are shocking everyone right now. They are the complete opposite of the pushovers everyone expected.

[moldyoldie]

Former Lions practice squad QB Josh Dobbs is looking All-World for the resurgent Vikings after a week-and-a-half with the team. Hockensen has over 100 yards receiving in the first half against the Saints.

(Edit)
Meanwhile in the second half, Dobbs and Hockensen have come back to Earth while Jameis Winston in relief of injured Derek Carr has brought the Saints back to within a score.

[MWmetalhead]

What a fucking horrible call against Taylor Decker. The refs robbed the Lions of a well earned TD.
