Sure but there's a pretty long list of games the lions "should" have won but ended up taking the L. They play a little better in one or two key plays in a lot of games and I think the entire franchise looks different, but at the end of the day, whether by ref loving or not, their record usually reflects mediocrity at their best regardless of talent. I'll keep rooting for this dumb team though.

The Lions are only 1-2 years away from being a serious playoff team, and always will be.

Until Stafford retires then we get the QB carousel of incompetence for a while.

At least QBs retire there. Hoffa is actually buried under Soldier field along with the ghosts of the 53 starting quarterbacks the Bears have had in the superbowl era.

Probably accurate, but I think the thing that ended up righting the ship more than most things was Martha Ford going on a firing spree.

Alas for that, they found the house he was killed in in like Bloomfield Hills or something, just shot in the face at the entryway to a house, bagged up, and tossed in a woodchipper

Strong stroll for a mangy stray
Ewww I had thought Akiem Hicks just, like, banged up his elbow or something as I hadn't seen the game yet. Nope, his arm got caught between a player and a helmet and was bent back violently, causing his elbow to dislocate in a grotesque way and his arm to look really messed up

That's probably gonna take a little while to get better, unfortunately. Akiem Hicks is a really important part of the defense and him leaving the game early does a little to explain some of the Raiders' success on the ground

Without Akiem Hicks I'm pretty pessimistic for the rest of the Bears season. I mean I was before cause lol at the quarterback situation, but a good defense can carry a bad quarterback sometimes. Guess I'm gonna have to root for the Saints this year. Speaking of which, how dumb does Minnesota look for giving up on Teddy Bridgewater now?

well let's not say it was unexpected for minnesota to gently caress it up with their QB

in fact, I'd say it was pretty fully guaranteed

the great thing about kirk cousins is vikings fans do not have any attachment to him, so i can go "hey that guy's a dipshit" without starting a fight

which is probably not the case with any other qb in the division

(guys here may have given up on trubisky, but irl bears fans seem not to've and are still sometimes weirdly protective?)

irl bears fans are weird

they'll rabidly defend their quarterback until the first questionable decision and then immediately bay for their blood

basically bears fans are only QB protective during the offseason until week 1

yeah I like stafford and he's unquestionably the best quarterback the lions have ever had since fuckin' bobby layne

Never forget that Conner Cook actually got a chance with the Raiders and... actually, it's probably best for everyone involved if we do forget that particular incident.

Bears won't go for it because of the draft capital they spent on Trubisky.

Viking won't go for it because of the actual capital they spent on Cousins.

Sunk cost fallacy writ large.

Packers should pick him up as a backup just to make sure he doesn't gently caress them in the playoffs ever again.

anyway it's more of a theory than the hard evidence I recall it being, but regardless, I would not be surprised in the slightest that this was how he died
