My criteria is "if I were a .500 team with a league average offense and a league average defense, who would I fear most to whose ass do I think I would I most easily kick?" It's why I've kept the Rams and Bills higher than their records, I do expect the Bills to miss the playoffs but I still wouldn't want to play them. The Lions have an easy road to the playoffs and #1 seed but I'm not forgetting the Baltimore game any time soon. Ditto Cards and 49ers for the Cowboys.

Dallas has a bad loss to Arizona, worse than the other two. Dallas does put a smackdown on all their lesser opponents but the best feather in their cap is the Chargers which is a middling team. Miami's' best win is also the Chargers while their losses are to the Bills, Chiefs, and Eagles. Meanwhile the Jags have wins vs Bills and Steelers and no bad losses now that Houston has made the top ten. Both Dallas and Jax got destroyed by SF. Detroit is on this tier as well for pulling a similar clunker vs Baltimore.

This and this. Her husband was considered a decent and honorable person but ineffective as president. I barely remember him and I know even less about her. RIP

Bears won the turnover battle like 4-1 and had time of possession for 2/3 of the game but at no time did they look like they could stop the Lions offense. They had great field possession all game and settled for FGs. Then, in the end, with the game on the line, they choked. It was a battle but the Lions found a way.

Oh, good grief. Another turnover. Lions fumble the return on the kickoff after a FG and Josh Reynolds may be hurt. 14-13 Chicago has the ball and great field position. Lions can't get their O on the field.

D'Onta Forman limped off the field for Chicago, twisted ankle perhaps. I think they lost their center earlier too.

Good, that Detroit ends the first half with the 14-10 lead. Detroit's drives didn't die on downs, they died on INTs. The O is fine if they're not turning it over, the D was shaky on the first drive but settled down after. Still too much of a scare for me. Felt like the Bears were the better team in the first half, but fock 'em.

Chicago almost had a third INT - would have been a 95 yard Pick-6 on 1st and goal for Detroit but the Ding-Dong dropped it, thank God. The Lions scored an easy TD on the next play. 7-7

Bears marched down on the Lions to start the game, Lions were looking good moving the ball then got an INT. After a stop, they're trying again. Got another INT to killl another drive. I have an ill feel so far. 7-0 Chicago.

As you may know, Bruce Irvin just signed with Detroit. Now apparently, JJ Watt is also in talks with the Lions to come out of retirement. Well, more correctly, The Lions are talking to JJ Watt.

Mike unlocked most of them and suspended bostonlager. Also, fuck you, we ought to have the right to talk about stuff, not be babysat. We're not FBG thankfully.

Interesting change of pace twist if it happens. Thanks for the update.

We have footage of James Houston back at the practice facility, out of his walking boot and pulling a weighted sled. So if his ankle can hold up for that as of right now, he should be able to return soon - and certainly before the playoffs. He was a huge part of the Lions defensive turnaround last year and Lord knows the Lions have missed him badly, the pass rush opposite opposite Hutchinson hasn't been very effective. In that regard, the Lions just signed Bruce Irvin who's a big name obviously, but who knows how much is left in the tank at 36. People spend ten months as unsigned free agents for a reason. Enough to get a contract. Somebody to cross fingers isn't washed up. We also have footage of CJGJ working out and looking like he's made improvements. He's always said that he wasn't done for the year and maybe we can hold out hope for him to return as well to help in the secondary. Moseley is obviously done for the year and Vaitai looks to be as well, Dan Campbell is leaving the door open but is pessimistic that he will be able to return.

Blue Horseshoe? And how do you come across info like this?

Still rooting for the Lions and against SF, Philly, Minnesota, and Seattle. The Bears are having a bad year but can't let up if we want to catch Philly, for the 1 seed its one game at a time, beat them and move from 7-2 to 8-2, then a short turnaround to Green Bay on Thanksgiving. Tampa wouldn't seem to have a prayer against the 49ers, but a decent chance in the other three games that I want to see stumble to stumble: Eagles at Chiefs is most important, but also Seahawks at Rams, and Vikings at Broncos.

I also wonder why the media isn't interested in investigating the answer and telling it to us. I mean, I've been up in here telling us how impressed I am with the solution, but I don't actually know what the solution entails or if SF can stay this way for good. If he put them in a camp or if he put them in cans of dog food, we haven't been told anything.

MSU beat Indiana. It's still curious as to how they'll solve their coach problem. Its already hard enough being little brother to UM in the state, I really worry this Mel Tucker fiasco has the potential to tank the team for a generation.

I had that happen to me once, it was focking annoying.

He wouldn't be hurting for work if he didn't have bigger problems he's dealing with.

As expected: nothing will ever be done with Bill Gates or any of the other elites on the Epstein island visitor list and we're all supposed to forget it exists.

I know. It sucks and we all have to deal with it. I was just thinking of how things could get better on the censorship front.

I don't want my thread locked. That's the entire point. I want the guy who locks my thread to get himself locked up, wearing a gimp suit in the dungeon under League Champion's and Blue Horseshoe's pawn shop.

That's what we want. Do nothing ... ... every twenty years or so, someone like Newbie will come along and repeatedly call for death on the president. Then you may have to do something. Until then though... go...go..go...go... just greenlight everything and issue a formal apology on behalf of the board to shotsup
