Thought this was interesting.

Excerpt on Pat Yasinskas NFC South Blog:

"Michael in North Hollywood, Calif. writes: Some of us started up a Facebook page called "5,000,000 NFL fans against 2012 lockout." Pretty self explanatory, but I'll explain anyway. We want to get five million NFL fans to join, then we'll pass it along to the NFLPA and NFL/Owners to let them know that the people responsible for all they have are not happy about their nonsense. If possible, would you mind passing this information along to your readers? The more we get, the louder we are.

Pat Yasinskas: Consider it passed along to the NFC South blog readership"

Now join and let our voices be heard!! :D

That's the link - it's unofficial b/c it's fan made. We're the ones paying to watch their games and responsible for making the rich, richer. They'll start caring once we stop their revenue flow.

They know what's at stake. If they can't figure something out, they will just do what they did last time....scrubs from Canada and those that cross the line. Ryan Leaf might even get a second chance.

When has the NFL cared about what the fans think?

they don't care. They know if they don't play in 2011 that everyone claiming they will "lose them as fans" will be right back when they are ready to play again.

      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.
