Thank god Kasey didn't choke...AGAIN

Dude, seriously...if you're talking about the kick in the Giants game, not even the great Kasay can control things like errant wind gusts. If you're talking about the one he missed today, well, I wish he had made it too. But the nine points he put up from FGs prior to that gave us the margin that held the Saints off as long as we did. Without them, we'd have been playing catch up a lot sooner, and maybe not with as palatable a result. Kasay is the Panthers' all-time scoring leader, and I remember a lot of seasons where our fortunes depended almost exclusively on his foot. Fortunately for us, he hits more often than he misses. I say take a cue from Shakespeare, and say "All's well that ends well."

Ok I've been holding off from saying this because I was once a new person and I made a few mistakes but I suspect a lot of people on here just jumped on the bandwagon recently

And I WELCOME you to the bandwagon, it's a great ride we've been on, but please be intelligent with your criticisms, it's very annoying to hear a bunch of uninformed whining

    • 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.
