Literally not a single OL won their matchup.

Our OL is so fuging bad.

Terrified? He can't have 0.5 sec to think before an OL, TE or RB is getting shucked into him. This is crazy.

How the fug do you get blown up that bad as a RB?

How do you dial up a flea flicker that can barely get a check down open?

Man....I was a Bryce dude but CJ is just a different animal.

He really has gotten way better with that over his career.

I will say this, there is one thing that is painfully evident......the Texans are not good either.

Mingo...WTF dude.

Wrong thread

Well as someone currently involved in Detroit, I agree we are going to have to disagree.

How is it that almost everyone on offense looks lost about 70% of the time? Do we really have a worse staff than Rhule??? Is that even possible???

NFL labor is weaker than the auto unions or many other organized labor unions. People easily get blinded by the money the athletes make but don't confuse that for what is a fair deal.

In fairness, as a franchise with one of the richest owners, we could suddenly morph into a much different thing. There is no telling. It won't happen in the near future. The NFL and owners are as staunchly anti-labor as exists in any professional sport.

Technically the NBA has a cap but they have a luxury tax too. I hate the MLB but I will say that over time small market teams have found ways to be competitive in an inherent uncompetitive situation. I don't think it would ruin the NFL at all, it would just morph to something different.

Oh, I agree. I am just saying from a fan's perspective that would be pretty wild and fun. I would never want that for the players themselves.

I think TMJ is basically done here. I doubt we will be able to trade him because he doesn't have any real trade value. Mingo is a rookie. I am not sure I see much ceiling but at least he has room for growth. I just haven't really seen any evidence of that for TMJ.

I think the modern era pro athlete doesn't necessarily lean into the "faux warfare" aspect of competition. Obviously that varies from player to player but in general I have noticed that throughout AAU and HS for some years now. They still love the competition but they can turn it off and be friends outside the court/field/etc.

Honestly, I would be fine with that in the NFL too.

I actually have no problem with basically the idea of constant free agency. IMO, it makes the offseason more fun. Plus it values veteran players over HS guys. I would never claim it is perfect but college football will always and forever be the most fuged up and unequal system in all of athletics. It has also single handedly ruined 100% of all other college sports, so I have no sympathy if it goes down the drain.

I am 100% fine with the transfer portal. College students can transfer as much as they want. Athletes should get the same. I have never or will ever understand how anyone who claims to like college athletics could ever support such an insanely crooked and fuged up system as existed beforehand. I have supported the idea of the NIL for almost 30 years now. I even wrote a paper on it in college.

Steve is doing his job to be a TV troll. He is literally on a panel of other TV trolls. I would also say, cool that DD got fired up and won them that game. So, is that what you need to win games you should win? You need media disrespect? You think maybe a better idea is to always have your team prepared, even when there isn't some media troll egging you on?

Oh....an ACC blog refutes the idea that the ACC is terrible?? Shocking! Also, the SEC isn't good this year either.

Buying teams has existed for many decades in college football. I am extremely happy it is at least public now.
