Week 1: at Seattle, 2-2 draw
Week 2: vs. Atlanta, 2-0 win

Off to a strong start. Discuss.

wasn't overjoyed Zaha was taking my boy Vargas' spot (one of my favs)......but he did a really good job of making me not being able to care about it in his Charlotte FC debut.

I like Vargas too but for our first 3 years our attack was way to predictable. Building slowly out of the back bring it down the wing and make low percentage crosses. Apparently at halftime Zaha got into the whole teams Ass and laid it out for them. We need to play fast we need to play direct and it worked. I'm excited to see what we can be this year if they continue their improve every year model we should have a top 4 seed in the East.

yeah, I liked what I saw from Zaha.   Like what he is coming into overall and what they did last year.  He could be a really great add especially when he gets some chemistry going w/ the guys.

poor showing by Charlotte FC Sunday at Miami.....

Losing 1-0 despite Miami going a man down in the first half.  

Zaha was ass but he was getting fouled or drawing 3 defenders everytime he got the ball so I'd have been frustrated too.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By strato · Posted

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      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.
