Fire Rivera fanboys must be on vacation

Could have been 8-0, if we hired guys like Shanahan or Gruden. Everybody knows that, including Rivera

Errr... Gruden, really? He'd have traded Luke and Cam away by now. 

Shanahan? When was he relevant again last?

We're doing just fine with Rivera, just fine.

here i am.  i am so happily eating some words.  except, like someone said, it took injury to see curtis and dj.   that poo is excruciatingly fox-like.   all the same, i can't believe he let them play and have fun doing it.  i'm proud of rivera and pretty sure he read my posts and decided to prove me wrong (sarcasm).   like i said, i'm happy to be eating some words, not so glued to my opinion that i would rather the team fail than be wrong.  nervous he's gonna stick his nose in and fug it up, but enjoying the ride!

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
