Hard to figure how to root for the team- should I want them to win, or keep losing to accelerate yet another coaching change? It's pretty clear this dude is over his head being a HC- just like many before him.

And I'm betting many Lions fan would like to see Matt Stafford get his chance at a SB, so should we root for LA to get both? Seeing Stafford do well, it really makes me wish Megatron managed to get traded to a good team- I think he would have won one on a decent team. Took a while but worked for Suh.

There's a Lions fan perspective- there's never "next year," it's about if your best players can find a better home to win the big one.
 
Tom Brady is good at football.

Also it's nearly 6 a.m. and my internal clock has not yet adjusted to being back in Manila. fwiw Mon - Friday I am up until 6 a.m. (or 6 p.m. EST) for work, but on weekends I sleep normal local time.
 
A couple of years ago, I believe it was right after the Patriots beat the Rams and Brady got his 6th ring, somebody around here(I forget who it was) was yippity-yappin' about P. Manning being the better QB. Curious if they still hold that same thought.

I think you could still make a case for Peyton if you wanted. Obviously Tom will always have rings as an advantage and now 40+ more games played.

But in other sports the most titles doesn't make you the best player. So I don't think it's the be all end all indicator for the NFL either.

Pretty sure that was The Rube (he might have used Hoven around here?) and given he's the most stubborn person I've ever met I doubt he's moved off that opinion even still. = ^ p

Here's the thing. I legitimately did not know the score of the game when I clicked the link. Being an engineer, my eyes were instantly drawn to the data table, and I started reading down through the categories:

Passing 1st downs: 13 vs 17
3rd down eff: 7/13 vs 7/12
Total plays: 61 vs 74
Completions: 26/42 vs 28/41
Time of Possession: 28 vs 32

and I'm thinking....ok, looks like the Jets probably lost this game, but why did Kepler post?

Only then did I see the score.

Jesus fuck, indeed.

This was almost my progression. Just in reverse. I saw the score then went to the data tables and wondering how the score got so lopsided.

Yup. I remember getting into a roundy round with him over Kevin Hart's homophobic rants. Needless to say that ended any conversations with him.
 
So I see that the NFL is holding the report from the WFT toxic environment so that they protect people.

Hm. Not that I mind, but that didn't seem to be a worry when John Gruden's emails were released. The NFL are protecting bad people as opposed to the good ones who came forward- who should be protected by the many laws surrounding whistle blowers.

They're protecting rich people (owners) and hung Gruden out to dry. The American Double Standards are hard, fast, and true.

Goodell "disposed" of all the tapes the Patriots had from camera gate.
 
Nothing like playing the Lions to make your young QB get some serious confidence. After struggling for a few games, Jalen Hurts looks like an All Pro against the Lions- the offense has scored 31 as the 4th quarter starts. And the D also looks good- they have scored 7 while holding the Lions off the scoreboard.

So yea, the Eagles D is outscoring the Lions O. Yay.
