just draft another RB

[Brodie]

Lions have the 10th best odds to win a Super Bowl next year. Everyone has Lions fever.

Jalen Carter will lead us to the promised land

This. Exactly this.

They are apparently "far apart" on extension talks with Barkley.

I'd be happy to tag Jones, to be honest. And to let Barkley walk, even though I like him and think he's been pretty crucial to our offense this year. We all know it, but you don't overpay RBs with a second contract.

Is the world prepared for a Lions vs Jagwires Super Bowl??

[Brent]

no, but a Lions super bowl run would unite the nation. outside of Minnesota/Wisconsin/Illinois.

[Caddy]

I could get down with a deep Lions playoff run. If (when) Tampa goes back to being ass, I will be an honorary Lions bandwagoner.

The Lions have never been good for long enough to develop any serious rivalries, I'd be happy for them as a Minnesotan.

[Brodie]

I think only Green Bay would be mad. We don't really have a rivalry with Chicago or Minnesota, and we just really hate the Packers as a unit.

Bills reportedly "considering making changes" after another playoff failure.

They don't make the playoffs for nearly 20 years, this GM and staff has them in like four of five years, and now they'd move on from that?

Mild success changes you I guess.

[fenikz]

I feel like McDermott stated the problem plain and simple they were out coached, def shouldn't be burning it down yet

[BeerBaron]

Yeah, McDermott would be unemployed for about a day if they fired him. Every team with an opening should be interested.

It'd be kind of shocking if he got Schottenheimer'd.

[fenikz]

With some teams that might be an actual problem that needs to be fixed(Dallas)

But no way you could find an exec who thinks the Bills can't fix it themselves

I can see the sentiment. They have done an amazing job of building a really good roster around their expensive pieces. However they are going to start not being able to keep the complementary pieces as they start reaching their rookie contracts. It takes extremely good drafting to keep the ball rolling. It could be very possible that their roster is worse at the beginning of next season.

Throw in the fact that they will always be competing against Mahomes and KC, who have shown they can be at the top building around their expensive core: Mahomes, Kelce and Jones and go bargain hunting elsewhere for offensive weapons.

[Brent]

kind of helps too that Mahomes is so good he makes others better.

Allen doesn't have Mahomes' ceiling.

and that the Bills picked a RB round 2 while the Chiefs picked their HOFer round 7

Also the Cole Beasley bad juju. Get him out for good

The Chiefs did take CEH round 1, sooooo

Hell the 49ers burned 3rd round picks on two RBs that haven't done shit for them in 2 straight years. The Bills are addicted to taking day 2 RBs. Eagles/Bengals at least did well taking solid RBs in the 2nd with Miles Sanders/Joe Mixon but the others just cannot stop throwing shit at RBs and it barely hinders them.

[Forenci]

I mean it feels like Von Miller would have been a massive difference maker against that banged up Bengals line and against the Chiefs. Him getting hurt kinda sucked for them.

That was a pro-Pacheco and anti-antivaxxer post.
