Depends on whether you call the Diaclone/Takara toys that were released in Japan the year before GoBots which were released a year after GoBots as Transformers as "first" and good lord the Lions being so loving terrible has made me start slapfights over 30 year old toys

Was Starscream truly the abject fuckup? Megatron made a ton of boneheaded calls over the course of the TV show. Starscream was certainly reckless, but its hard to fault him vying for leadership when Megatron loses basically every time.

Does this mean the Packers are the Autobots? I'm guessing Rodgers is Optimus Prime, Clay Matthews is Grimlock, Lacy is Ironhide.

The Transformers are cool and fun to root for, so the Packers can be Bots Master or something, idk.

Aaron Donald might not have been a bad choice with the 10 pick in that draft. Ya know, if you were going to let Fairley go, and not fork over Suh money. I am sure whoever the GM is in STL probably sends Mayhew a Christmas Card every year over that one.

I was so happy the Rams didn't let the Bears get Donald.

Nah, Megatron was a relatively coherent military strategist undermined by the fact his charges were by and large usurping fuckwits, idiots or unable to think for themselves. Which makes every lions coach Megatron, and Calvin and Barry Shockwave. Either way, the Lions are terrible and deserve to go 0-16 again this year because it may just finally try and not look on the team as anything other than a cash cow.... Bwahahahahahahaha, I almost said that with a straight face too

Not if he gets shitcanned with the rest of the coaching staff!

Is it too early to start dreaming about the Saints dropping Sean Payton and Detroit picking him up as HC? If he can fix noted Garbage Time QB Drew Brees then surely he can fix Stafford.

You'd wonder if that would mean keeping Lombardi in that scenario though, given the history with the two in New Orleans.

There was one Twitter observer who didn't like the Lombardi hire because the year Payton was suspended the Saints offense was bad. He was so right.

Besides next week hosting Chicago and week 16 hosting SF, what do you all think their best chance of winning is? Those are obviously the easy picks (but really, I'm of the opinion that if they're going to lose, lose them all and secure a top draft pick). Not saying they should tank, I really don't believe in that, but God drat something has to change.

Either the Raiders or the Thanksgiving game I think. Not that either is necessarily likely, just that those are probably the best ones, especially if Chip Kelly's Wild Ride breaks down again. Maybe @Saints but that's an even longer shot.

2-14 with sweeping the Packers would also do that, and its the right thing to do.

Don't injure him. Have him be 100% healthy and get pick-sixed 3 times, fumble-sixed twice, and also toss in an Orlovsky safety. That's comedy.
