Most relaxed weekend in over a year


SIGCHI222

Recommended Posts

The bye. The bye in 2012.

I assumed that this weekend would have me ordering a new jersey of some break-out player like Adams or Alexander...Kuechly was a given.

This weekend I was to be pas d'armes to all nay sayers as we basked in our 4-1 glow.

Instead I, maybe we, reflect.

This team has a lot going for it. This team has many problems.

This team rallies and we go 11-5 and make the playoffs or we limp along and go 8-8 or it all goes south and we win 3 games and draft 3rd in next year's draft.

The product has been verified, but the product has not been validated.

Much remains to be seen.

All I know is....this weekend....I don't give a fukk...and it feels good.

first relaxed weekend in over a year?

you take this poo too seriously.

Should have spelled it out. Concerning the Panthers, just concerning the Panthers.

I black out at least twice on my way to work and just plain shut it down after "that 2:30 feeling" sets in everyday at work.

I relax plenty.

I even relax when I post on the Huddle. I will start reading posts and when I see something that interestttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt..................................................................

    • 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.   
    • 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.
