Pack looks tough
Right now they're playing Parsons as basically a 3rd down specialist, which is arguably what he should be to begin with. Let's see how they look when he's playing 75% of the snaps and their offense doesn't jump out to an immediate two TD lead.

The one big advantage they have on us personnel-wise is that they have several jumbo DE's in Gary and Van Ness who can absorb damage on run downs, but again, let's see if they have the balls to play him as a pass rush specialist over the long term.

I've been listening to the game on the Ticket and it sounds like the Lions are a mess. Maybe this is the year they take a big step back.

They lost both their coordinators, their second best OL and Goff was always a QB who needed to be managed and have throws schemed for him.

I don't think some random guy like Morton who has never done anything impressive is the guy to design an offense like that.

Rams gonna win. Texans were driving to about the 15 or 20 down 5 and a LB gave a perfect Peanut Punch to knock the ball out.

We never could have paid Bland, Diggs, Pickens, Parsons and found a run stuffing DT. Jerry can’t draft a DT to save his life. Trade was good for both teams.

We could have, although probably wouldn't have.
I appreciated Dan Campbell saying he was happy to have Clark out of Green Bay and Parsons where his biggest playmaker Sewell could face him.

Gotta say Micah edged him out today with some pressures that had Goff make a couple of rushed throws.

His team was immediately up by 14 like 10 minutes into the game. He's always going to feast in those circumstances, let's see how things go as the months and years roll on, and how well he holds up playing 70-80% of the snaps in different circumstances.

I also think the Lions offense is probably going to be a bit of a mess all year.

I don't want to over-index on a week one game.

Campbell is a good coach who will have them responding to their new coordinators soon enough. Also Hutchinson is going to take some games before getting back to being himself.

Packers on the road and on grass amounted to their toughest divisional game and one of their toughest games overall. They gotta play at Baltimore too, so it's not their toughest game. At Philly could also be tough depending on whether or not Carter spits on anyone.

I hope the skins win. They're not gonna do shit in the playoffs if they make it. If anything, it only makes their draft position worse. And every Packer loss improves ours.

We're not going to do anything either. Even if we do sneak into the playoffs. So a skins win doesn't bother me at all, other than the initial yuck of them winning a game. But them beating the Packers is better for us in the long run.
Since you put it that way…

Eff the Packers and eff Micah!
