Honestly I don’t think it’s earlier than they planned. They thought he was done. They drafted his replacement with the plan to let him learn a year behind Rogers. I don’t believe they drafted Love in round one with the plan to sit him 3 years. They planned to move on from Rogers. The problem...

I’m curious what it is that you want Rogers to do? He doesn’t like the direction of the team. He feels slighted and that the team wasn’t loyal to him so he’s asked to be traded. Who can blame him? The Packers planned to move on from him. They are now seeing the results of that decision.

I think that’s all Dante is basing his rankings on. In 2020 Mack played in 16 games while Smith played in 17 games so Smith had one more game worth of stats over Mack. I don’t think Dante is taking that into consideration either. Mack also drops into coverage more often than Smith does as...

I know this is the narrative that some media personnel have tried to project. McVay can do no wrong. McVay put all of the blame went on Goff for their offensive decline. When Goff played well and made two probowls and took them to a Super Bowl it was all McVay but when his play declined it was...

His passer rating declined the last two years because the Rams interior OL declined heavily and he was under heavy pressure up the middle. He also lost his top receivers. The two years prior when he had protection and weapons he made the probowl twice. I think he’s a down grade over Stafford...

FYI - The Lions Romeo Okwara had 10 sacks in 9 starts in 2020. Just 2.5 Sacks shy of Smith who started 16 games. Okwara averaged more sacks per snap than any Edge player in the NFCN. What I find impressive about this is that Patricia didn’t want his edge guys to apply pressure. He wanted them to...

FYI - Crosby is DET’s swing tackle. Vaitai was signed to start at RT in place of Wagner who the Lions cut and GB signed but Vaitai battled injuries all last season which allowed Crosby to start most of the season. Vaitai is projected to be the Lions starting RG and Crosby the Swing. I agree...

Goff has been to the pro bowl two out of the last 4 years. He’s also been the second winningest QB since he became a starter. The only QB to win more games than him is Tom Brady. Not to mention he did take the Rams to a SB too. I get that everyone wants to credit McVay and the Rams team but...

Vs Philly and LAC they kept him in to block for pass protection. VS KC they were using him in the pass game until he got a concussion. I think vs GB they will keep him in to pass block. He likely won’t be used in the pass game all that much. I expect the Lions to go 2 TE sets, max protect and...

They can’t all 3 make the Play offs and the Rams do not look all that tough to me. I think Sea and SF will likely make the plays and the Rams won’t to be honest. I think the other wild card spot likely comes from the NFCN. NFCE could be won by a 9-7 team. NFCS will likely be won by NO and...

They beat Philly...

Didn’t Stafford hold the current NFL record of 160 plus passes with out an INT heading into this season? Then he threw a couple vs LAC. Currently he’s 9td’s to 2 ints. With a 102.6 rating. Compared to Rogers who is 6tds to 1int and a 93.4 Rating.

Absolutely.... The NFCN north has 4 teams capable of winning it this year. I won’t be shocked if two teams have 10 plus wins. I also wouldn’t be shocked if the NFCN beat up on each other. It’s going to be fun watching how it all shakes out and who finishes where.

The Lions had a top 10 defense last year and have had a ton of injuries on defense this year. They had 4 defensive players out vs KC and almost won. Mike Daniels was out vs KC and hasn’t been 100% all season. He was getting limited snaps as a result. Pro Bowl CB Slay was out vs KC. Pass...

Raiola is not the Lions best OL. If anything he's their worst. Him and Sims are about the same. Stafford has been calling protections for most of the year. They took that responsibility off of Raiola in perpetration of his retirement after this season. Swanson has seen snaps at center this...
