2014-15 NFC North/NFL Thread

[Jay Bee]

SKOL VIKINGS! (Unfairly) Lose your star player; lose your (weak) starting QB and need to throw in a rookie?

And finish two games above the bottom in the oh-so-tough NFC North? Not bad. Super Bowl almost assured next season.

GO LIONS!!

Really not unfair that Peterson was suspended... But as a Bears fan I'm glad they didn't screw up their draft pick. Go lions.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Go Cowboys

Lions aren't ready for prime time.   Packers 34-14

What a goal line stand. But why don't you run the ball 4 straight times there?

[wadesworld]

Same old Lions. No good, fall behind, and then get dirty. Stafford is a lot like Cutler. Hope Suh enjoyed his last game as a Lion and enjoys his suspension.

Embarrassing for their fans. They are a good team but how do you get behind those dirt bags.

[tower912]

Same old Lions.   I saw the first two plays.   Then had a heroin overdose, a shooting, and two reported structure fires, one of which at a nursing homes full of retired nuns,  both of which ended up being furnace motors that had burned out, filling their respective buildings with smoke.   I got back in time to see Stafford's safety, see a 30-14 score, and then think that I was damn close on my score prediction.   When I say, "same old Lions", I mean an inability to perform in big games, and a tendency to do stupid, classless stuff.

Letting Suh sign elsewhere will be addition by subtraction. No way should he be allowed to play next week.

And Stafford: 0-16 against winning teams on the road. Maybe we had the wrong guy when picking on Jay all year.   Nah.......

Tower, thank you for all you do as a fireman.

Everybody has to do something.  And I am rarely bored.

Hardly breaking news, but hearing Trestman and staff will be gone by early tomorrow morning.

Reading the tea leaves, I believe Ted Phillips is gone, and Emery somehow stays. That's not what I want to have happen, but what I'm hearing. This is the Bears though, something that doesn't make sense will happen.

Cutler?

[MerrittsMustache]

Cutler?

If Emery stays, I assume Cutler would stay.

Keeping Emery makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.  What good coaching candidate is going to come to Chicago to work for a GM who is on the hot seat?

Clean house completely.

[Dish]

Emery fired.

Bears will be reaching out to Harbaugh.

[MerrittsMustache]

Bears will be reaching out to Harbaugh.

Coach and personnel role for $8+ million?

Doubtful, but as usual too little, too late for the Bears.

[Blackhat]

Need to trade Cutler and start fresh IMO....unless u get a power running game with Harbaugh that any qb could run(see Colin Kaepernick's now deceased career).

I don't think that would be a very smart idea.  So would Harbaugh report to?  Who is going to reign him in when he needs to be reigned in?

Really the only time the Coach/GM model has worked recently in a sustained fashion is Bellicheck. 

[swoopem]

Does Mike Shannahan come to the Bears and reunite with Cutler? As a Bears fan I'd be cool with that hire.

I would say there is a .000001% chance that Suh gets suspended.

[Spotcheck Billy]

glad to hear you are ok

[wadesworld]

I would say there is a .000001% chance that Suh gets suspended.

I'd put it at about 25% chance given his past history of similar behavior.

Flight twackah reports a private jet traveling from SF to Ann Arbor yesterday evening; along with one para-cycle coming in from Bloomington, IN.
