Not only is Cutler hurt but there is now rumblings of the Bears moving on without him. As the Bucs can attest, nothing puts a franchise in a tailspin like talks of a QB change. The. Bears still have a rough schedule ahead and their horrid D wont carry them. The NFC north doesnt scare me, Cowboys will win the NFC while the rest of that division will be lucky to go 8-8. Over to the NFC west, its pretty much a given a WC spot will come out of the NFC west be it the 9ers or the Seahawks, one will win the division and the other wil get a wild card.

In our division, Falcons MIGHT get to 8-8 and the Bucs, well.. The Bucs. Packers are now the clear favorites for the NFC north, the Bears have the makings of a mid season meltdown. The Lions look pretty legit this season. With either the 9ers or Hawks all but certain to nab a WC spot, it looks as though its game on between us and the Lions for the final WC spot. This might be a year we can get in at 9-7. This is the Lions remaining schedule;

Cowboys

@Bears

@Steelers

Bucs

Packers

@Eagles

Ravens

Giants

@Vikings

You cant trust the Lions. They are major chokers, yes we can be chokers also but the Lions are just as bad. The Bengals just beat them in Detroit. I can see them losing in Pittsburgh, I could see a Ravens loss and even a Eagles upset wouldnt suprise me. Yes the Lions are a pretty good team but they cant be trusted.

I have looked a lot the packers and Lions both have much easier sched. Totally agree 10-6 and we could be sitting at home. I think the easier road is winning the division, we still control that and the saints still play the seahawks and the 9ers. The biggest thing we have to do is win the next two then split with NEw England and SF games then we can really start to hope.

although 5-1, they havent been really impressive. barely got past the Buccs and Falcons early. we match up very, very well against them.

Their D is scary and the O is playing lights out. Now if Graham is out, that changes things. I dont see how the Saints dont win the NFCS, although we win against the Bucs we will only be a game behind

Cincy will win that Division - no real shame in that loss. I don't think you can call the 2013 Lions chokers based on their past teams. If that was the case no one would ever take us for more than losers.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Yes. Fitt said he liked Young for two years. He hitched his wagon to him. Reich and Young were going 2-15, nothing I said we should get would have saved him. A new coach plus Tepper (and Morgan) would have wanted the draft assets we kept or got to be used by a better GM/Coach. SMH, you need to read my post and your own again. You said: “So we should have sold off all of our talent and what?” I was being sarcastic that they still were in the roster because the guys you are saying we shouldn’t have sold off got sold off anyway but instead of getting full value, we got scraps. We had an opportunity to sell at the highs and instead we let the stocks lose 50-75% and then sold them. Because we didn’t tank in 2022 when the Rams basically handed the idea to us, we either set the team back several years to where we won’t do anything and will be back at the drawing board or kept enough talent off the team that we may make the playoffs but we still won’t be a top team like an extra handful of 1st rounders could have gotten us.

      It was nothing. It was a nice run in an easy schedule that did nothing but lose us DJ Moore and a lot more. We were 2-15 in 2023. Based on your logic, that winning finish should have been a launching point. For as much as you want to say we shouldn’t have taken a risk, you still can’t admit that the plans we tankers laid out were proven correct. There’s no revisionist history. We said we should have traded Burns to the Rams. We said we should have sold off anything not bolted down like Brown and Horn and even Icky because they were in the 5 year plan. There is no disconnect, we tried to keep winning and draft a rookie QB and we lost about 4 1st round picks of value that could have been given to the guys you think might be the right crew.
