Heâs the league MVP
Brady lays an egg without elite receivers to bail him out 
Itâs like youâve wiped his previous 20 years career from your memory.
Anyway, guess what guys!!!
Thereâs football tonight 
Hon the Saints - an absolute defensive masterclass from Dennis Allen stepping in to cover Coach Payton. Cam Jordan was like a man possessed after breaking his streak last weekend.
Still an outside chance of making the playoffs - itâd be some turnaround if they did with absolutely no receivers of any use at all
Is this 10pm game worth watching at all?
You might as well flush your hard earned down the bog then back checkdown Tom. A has been that never was much to begin with. Tonight there is no doubt about the outcomes, the Browns/Bears double is max bet material
Here you go buddy
Browns/Bears double.
Raiders/Vikes max bet

Dan Fucking Campbell 
Donât worry about the draft pick. The Lions needed a culture change, and theyâre getting it under Dan Campbell.
Editorâs note: This is an opinion piece from MLive.com reporter Kyle Meinke.
DETROIT â There was a time when the Lions couldnât run the football no matter who they rolled out there. That time, of course, was pretty much any Sunday over the last, oh â when did Barry Sanders retire again? In 1999, right?
So, yeah, that.
Among all the crooked numbers that have defined the Lionsâ miserable existence, not managing to finish even in the top half of the league in rushing for the last 22 years in a row is among the most absurd. Theyâve given the football to 61 different running backs in that time, from Ameer Abdullah to Zach Zenner, from Jonathan Williams to Keiland Williams, from Kerryon Johnson to Rudi Johnson and Ty Johnson too, from Hall-of-Famers like Adrian Peterson to top-five draft picks like Reggie Bush to first-round picks like Jahvid Best to second-round picks like Mikel Leshoure to oh-yeah-I-think-I-remember-hims like Tion Green and, really, we could do this all day.
Yet for more than two decades, the Lions couldnât run the football even better than average no matter what they did.
These days, it seems they can run the football no matter what they do or who they do it with.
DâAndre Swift is lost to a shoulder injury right now and Jamaal Williams is on the COVID list, while Jermar Jefferson is hobbled by a bum ankle and Godwin Igwebuike suddenly canât hang onto the football. The Lions are so banged up all over the place that theyâre starting safeties at cornerback and playing fullbacks at tight end while turning to a fifth-string running back nicknamed âNetflixâ because thatâs all Craig Reynolds was doing when the Lions gave him a call in August.
Then Reynolds ran for 112 yards in his first NFL start, Jared Goff added three touchdown passes â one of them to that fullback who was lining up at tight end â and Detroit bludgeoned the Arizona Cardinals 30-12 on Sunday at Ford Field.
That has to be the most stunning result in the NFL this season, right? The Lions (2-11-1) had the worst record in the league heading into the weekend, while the Cardinals (10-4) had the best. That Cardinals team hadnât lost on the road all year. Hell, they hadnât won by fewer than 10 points on the road all year.
âOn paper, we donât match up with them,â quarterback Jared Goff said afterward. âOn paper, we donât.â
No kidding. Yet the Lions â with more than $100 million of their payroll in street clothes because of illness or injury â ran away with their biggest rout against a winning team since a 38-15 victory against Minnesota all the way back on Nov. 11, 1997, and their biggest rout against a 10-win team since the 38-6 romp against Dallas in the 1991 playoffs.
âWell, that was fun,â coach Dan Campbell said as he stepped to the mic a few minutes later.
This Lions team definitely isnât making the playoffs, of course. Theyâve been playing for draft positioning since opening the season with eight straight losses, and to that end, gird yourself for all the hot takes that are about to unfurl on a sports talk radio station near you. Because, yes, Detroit slipped to No. 2 with the win, and I can guarantee you there will be folks mocking the Lions for hurting their positioning with a so-called meaningless win.
I can guarantee that because it happens every year. It will happen again, and it will be very dumb.
First, itâs not like thereâs a slam-dunk, canât-miss, Andrew Luck-type prospect in this draft. Sure, picking first is preferable than picking second because you can have whoever you want. But in this draft, where there is no generational talent at the top and not even a quarterback worth taking either, picking second or third or whatever is still going to net the same kind of prospect. Just look at the last time the Lions held the second overall (Calvin Johnson). One of their best players was just taken seventh overall (Penei Sewell). Perhaps the best defensive player in all of football was just taken five spots after that (Micah Parsons). Draft success is usually about identifying the right prospect and developing him properly, and less so the difference between holding the first or second or third pick. Thatâs most true in a year like this.
With that, winning football games seems a lot more important for an organization that has been playing for draft positioning for the better part of 60-whatever years. Now theyâre coming off one of the worst, most toxic eras in their history. And I donât know if youâve noticed, but theyâve had some pretty toxic eras in their history. But Matt Patricia lost more often than every Lions coach besides Marty Mornhinweg and Rod Marinelli, and all that losing is only the tip of the iceberg. He fractured the locker room and ran off so many good players along the way, from Darius Slay to Quandre Diggs and Golden Tate and Graham Glasgow too, while replacing all of them with players who were worse.
At some point, changing that culture has to become more important than anything else, even draft positioning.
There have been a lot of good signs thatâs already happening. Campbell has been lauded for his leadership through the tough early days of this rebuild. Most teams that lose like this turn toxic. Thatâs what happened to Patricia. Just look at the mess that has unfolded in Jacksonville. Urban Meyer was the splashiest hire of last offseason, and he didnât even make it through the year because everyone hated him so much, and the losing too.
But that hasnât happened in Detroit. As the losses piled up, the team has stayed together, continued to fight, remained somehow competitive most weeks despite obvious talent deficiencies all over the field and on both sides of the ball. Campbell has been praised for it, and rightfully so.
âI would say it all starts with our head coach, his personality,â defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn said just last week. âIâve been knowing that guy for a long time, and weâre cut from the same cloth. Thereâs no player on this team, no coach on this team, thatâs going to go around hanging their head, not preparing them like weâre preparing them to play in a Super Bowl. Thatâs just not the way weâre built. I think thatâs infectious for the players, and they see that.â
Exactly. Thatâs also why tanking rarely makes sense, and doesnât for this team. Sure, the No. 1 pick would be nice. But for a team thatâs been playing for draft positioning for six decades, maybe, just maybe , it makes more sense to focus on culture building instead. And nothing builds culture like winning. Nothing lends credibility to the head coach and his approach like winning.
Now theyâre doing that, with a roster that has been annihilated by all manner of attrition. Theyâve won two of their last three games, both against teams jockeying for playoff seeding in the NFC. Goff, once among the worst quarterbacks in the league, has managed to throw nine touchdown passes and just two interceptions in that stretch. He just turned in his highest-rated game of the year against a team that could be the No. 1 seed in the NFC next month. And heâs doing it without his Pro Bowl tight end and Pro Bowl center and either of his projected starters at receiver and his No. 1 running back and his No. 2 running back too.
The Lions went such a long time without being able to run the football, no matter how many dollars or draft picks they threw at the problem. Now theyâre averaging their most yards per carry since 1997? No matter how many guys they lose? No matter if theyâre starting a guy who had 1 career yard heading into the month?
âWhoever the opponent is, weâre going to go out there and compete,â left tackle Taylor Decker said. âWeâve had games against some of the top teams in the league where weâve been really close . And then weâve had games where we havenât played as well and maybe weâve gotten blown out a little bit. Hopefully, we can start to see some momentum and we can keep that identity.â
That â the ability to compete no matter who is on the field â is one of the hallmarks of good culture. Itâs also one of the hallmarks of a good team. The Lions donât have that kind of strength across their roster, so they are not a good team. But even in these hard, early days of the rebuild, you can already see it developing in pockets. Nowhere is that more apparent than on the offensive line and in the running game. When you can plug in one of five different running backs on any given Sunday â when a guy with 1 career yard can get his first NFL start and immediately go off for triple-digits, something no Lions player could do for 70 straight games at one point â that says so much about a culture that maybe, just maybe , is beginning to take shape.
Donât believe me? Just take a look inside that locker room, and tell me Matt Patricia isnât long freaking gone.
Is that Bosaâs second time out with Covid? 
at least you could see signs over the season thus far that there was a bif of life to the lions. the jags beating the bills has to be the upset of the season?
