40-6 Detroit.

I actually had a dream that we lost this last one due to the O line being too banged up.

I'm worried about this one, but I think we win in a squeaker. 23-21 Lions.

The Bears are trotting out Bellemy and Mariani as starting wideouts and Housler at TE. They are in draft pick mode.

Smart. We should be playing our young guys being 6-9. But the coach has to try to save his job. I can't wait until we get a GM.

Agreed Mitch

 

[Monster]

Can we ever keep our OL healthy? God damn, I'm sick of seeing those fat fucks on the ground!

 

[Monster]

Love it. Draft some OL and maybe a DT or two. Next year could be really good. Love the way the offense has been playing for the Coots.

 

[cheeno]

See that's why you spend a top ten draft pick on a receiving tight end.

 

[tigermud]

Martha needs to ensure Jim Bob remains the offensive coordinator, if Austin and cooter Both go we're fked

I think Austin is the most probable to get a HC job.

Yes by all means let's drop into a top 10 pick so then you guys can complain when the new GM botches the pick.

YOU PLAY TO WIN GAMES NOT DRAFT POSITION!!!

I feel like a broken record.

In other news, looks like the Mr. Hyde version of the Lions defense has showed up today.

I agree. The only time I would agree with tanking is when there is an ultra elite prospect like Andrew Luck that you know is going to be the #1 pick. Even then, it'd have to be the last game of the year or two.

You play to be better in the future whether you think you'll be back or not. At 6-9, that's what you do. Some of our recent guys don't hardly play. Nope, all about a meaningless game. Like it carries over.

I don't want tanking. I want to find out if some of these young players are worth a damn.

 

[Monster]

Great job Lawson!!!

Picked!

 

[cmlfactor]

Holy cow Dig showed up and made a play finally. Where's that been all year?
