Lions 53 is weird. We'll see what changes though as I think they will IR Iffy.

They cut Craig Reynolds and are just rolling with 2rb and Cabinda.

They kept 6 linebackers. I don't think any press thought they would do that.

Reynolds will be back when iffy and Julian are ir'd. He doesn't go through waivers and had no guarantees on his contract so no dead cap.

Or if not Reynolds another rb. No way going with only 2.

Oh, okay, that makes sense. I didn’t know they already had their mind made up and told him.

I thought he looked good, but I also wasn’t paying much attention who he was going against.

Nobody. I said the team hasn't shown anything, which is apparently the same thing. :shrug:

This is the first preseason I just completely ignored and it feels great. My problem with trying to pay attention to everything I hear is 50% of it is absolutely true, 50% ends up completely wrong, and there is no rhyme or reason to which is which.

Wameson Jilliams suits up for Week 1 in a Mission: Impossible-style disguise mask and goes for 8/150/2 TD against Kansas City.

After the game, MuscleCoach is asked where they signed this dude, and he goes into great detail explaining how he initially found him in the Beyond section of a closed Bed Bath & Beyond.

THE LIAR
I got recommended a Rich Eisen clip on youtube and he pointed out something kinda interesting. The Lions last 10 games are in a dome. This is not correct. They play the Bears on the road December 10th. But it is kinda interesting that 9 of their last 10 games are indoors. Their outdoor games this year are Kansas City, Green Bay, Tampa, Baltimore and Chicago. KC and GB are in September and Tampa is a brisk 85 in mid-October. They really only have two real cold weather games this year, Baltimore on October 22nd and Chicago on December 10th.

I wouldn't be surprised if they slump a bit coming out of the gate, but some stuff clicks with Jamo coming back after week 6 and all of those indoor games coming after week 7 and they're a lot stronger after that.

We've already got two running backs (one above-average and one fine) and I thought our cap situation was pretty hosed this year, so where would the money have come from for a record-setting contract?

"Sources" also said the bears were in on him too which makes no sense given that poles this RBs are fungable. I think he wants a trade and is leaking to anyone who will listen about the teams that are totally interested

the NFL cap is a joke, and also he is a very very very good running back lol, probably like the second or third best in the league.

I fully believe they investigated trading for him. The Cap this year doesn't matter, as the NFL salary cap is malleable as gently caress, his cap hit this year is jack poo poo, and next year Aaron Rodgers dead money comes off the books for the Packers.

Taylor would be almost loving perfect for the offense that Lafleur wants to run.

Colts are asking for silly compensation for a player they think is expendable tho.

My sources say a trade for Jonathan Taylor, of the Colts, being considered by the Packers. I am pro-Quadzilla and take no pleasure in reporting this.

re: Taylor, maybe they would have traded one of Jones/Dillon, maybe not, but Taylor is 24, a Wisconsin hero, with tons of tread still on the tires, who wants out of his current situtation badly. I'd check the asking price too, even if I had the #1 back already on my team.

The Rand* emergency.

Just finished the 90s. I came to the realization that I have forgotten much of that game but I remember deep down knowing it was over when Gary missed that kick. Then Bois had to twist the knife talking about how statistically likely it was the Vikings could have gotten to within field goal range for the win before half and...now I have to lie down for awhile.


gently caress Dallas. gently caress the falcons. gently caress Mike Lynn and that dumb poo poo Norm Green. Also glad they didn't mention Dallas not only robbing our football future but ALSO stealing our hockey team during the same period.
