The Lions said they got to beat Benedict Arnold twice this season.
I don't want Malik Willis on Vikings in 2026. Sorrell looked good. The Defense played well. Offensive LG seemed a serious problem.
Nagler is a jinx
This week's game was bad, really bad, but last week was even worse. Time to flush everything and start over. New GM, new HC, new coordinators, trade QB1 and Gary for pix, and unfortunately a lot of free agents lost due to cap issues. The only way to get back on the rails is to weather a season as a new chapter is started. Staying status quo just means years without R1 pix, salary cap issues, and continuing to try with what has proven it diesnt work.
Extra thumbs up for the Paper Lion reference.
The Matthew Golden discussion is interesting. The fact that he hasn’t had much of an impact this year is PRECISELY why I was against using a 1st rd pick on him. The ONLY explanation that makes sense to me, as to why the Packers drafted him in the 1st rd, is they weren’t gonna resign Doubs and they weren’t sure about Watson, since he was coming off of injury. And even that explanation doesn’t hold up, given the Packers could have found a receiver in the 3rd rd if they were simply guarding against the potential departure of Doubs and Watson.
Perfect game. Boring, but just fine. Glad they sat everyone. Go Pack Go!
GB would be stupid if they let Malik go to Vikings. Do whatever you can to keep him.
Holding guys out could be Matt LaFluer’s best decision? Wait till they come out flat as a pancake next week against the Bears. It’s Matt Lafluer’s way. LaFluer has been an absolute disaster these last 4 years. Ed Policy please end this.
Ryan: "Rashan Gary is a high effort, high motor guy." Does Ryan just eat the food in press box during the game? He looks like it(obese) and sounds like he doesn't watch the game. No clue.
Ryan: "They don't have any draft picks the next two years." Ummm, they have draft picks, just not a first round pick. Ryan is so clueless, he actually thinks they traded all their draft picks for the next 2 years for Micah Parsons. Yes, he actually is that clueless.
Vikings can’t afford Willis, they have cap issues.
Whoever wins Saturday's game is not winning another game in the playoffs. Other teams are so much better.
The NFL said screw you Bears and Packers fans. If you want to watch the game, you have to have Amazon Prime.
nixon should have been gone after dallas game heres my take saturday,play willis cut nixon sit love and on fourth and one RUN!
I can hear Lombardi. "Grab, grab, grab that all everybody's' doing." What happened? Shoulder pads optional? Players, finally getting extended playing time to show their value & skills. Instead, we got this and against a QB like J.J. it really sucks.
Tune looked better than Sean Clifford?
Bears are gonna make fools out of the Rusty Packers
I would have Rashan Gary cleaning toilets at Lambeau. Just an idea to get something out of him.
Will they fight or will they wimp out like last year?
