@biskit52250 im a fan of this site but i must say, Walt has had a weird obsession with the Packers all year long. They’re unimpressive. They’ve been in several dog fights with bad teams and have no real quality wins. As a Lions fan, it has been apparent to me that you guys are the superior team. Even after Sunday night I still respect you guys more than the Lackers. It seems inconsistent to me that Walt knocks some teams for ugly wins and bad records vs good teams while excusing other teams for doing exactly that.

If the Jags land the first pick they most likely trade down, but does anyone else think that they should at least consider drafting Shedeur and trading Tlaw? They’re a long ways away from being competitive anyways, might be easier to build around a rookie contract qb than a massively overpaid one. Even with how expensive and disappointing Lawrence has been, I think he still has solid trade value in this qb-hungry league. Food for thought

@carettirichard

I'm not sure about Sanders as a #1 overall-type prospect, but we all know about the draft and QB supply-and-demand. I think he'll separate from the pack - I don't think Ward or Milroe won't go as high as currently projected after they get picked apart during the pre-draft process. Pretty sure JAX sticks with T-Law, but you never know, and it's fun to speculate.

For what it's worth, I think Mason Graham would be a great fit for JAX. They need an interior difference-maker to complement Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker. Graham would also be a clean, "culture" pick for the new coaching staff. If JAX gets the 1st pick and can move down a few spots for a bunch of picks and still get graham, that would be tits.

@Mr. Bitter valid points. Trading down makes the most sense, especially if you can get a package that resembles what the Bears got two years ago for Bryce Young.

You mentioned that the Jags are going to clean house; I factored that into my thought process. A new front office and coaching staff could fall in love with Sanders and decide he’s the guy they want to lead the franchise. I think Tlaw would fetch at least a first round pick on the trade market, maybe more. A team like the Steelers would be perfect for him.

Mostly just playing with the scenario in my head, unlikely the Jags like Sanders enough to make a bold move like that but stranger things have happened.

@BigSmoke420 it’s actually crazy that he couldn’t win the backup job over Rush. He’ll be out of the league soon. I agree with you though, the cowgirls really have nothing to lose at this point. Give Lance a shot and see if there’s anything there, worst case scenario he helps you tank 0 0

@carettirichard

Once Doug Pederson is fired, I'm guessing JAX will sell the fan base on the idea that Pederson's awful coaching, a bad O-line and injuries are what have been holding Lawrence back. Pretty sure he gets a fresh start in '25. He just turned 25.

I don't think JAX is a long ways from being competitive. (Especially in the AFC South.) They have some talented young building blocks at important positions (WR1, EDGE1 and 2, CB1). With better coaching and some O-line and DT upgrades they could rebound in '25.

I’ve been coming to this site for about the last 15 years or so. I do believe that this is the very first time my Lions topped your power rankings. LETS GOOOO!!!

Truthfully I can’t see this team losing any time soon. Not at least until the first seed is clinched, but even then I can’t see Dan Campbell trotting out the backups. Walt, how likely do you think it is that the Lions run the table and go 16-1?

Why isn’t will howard taken more seriously as a prospect? I haven’t watched much OSU football but each time i do i come away impressed by this kid. The size is legit, he’s one of the biggest dudes on the field. But he seldom he uses that size. He can extend plays with his legs and throw on the run, make some big time throws. I think he’s a better prospect than Will Levis was two years ago, albeit Levis has the stronger arm. But Howard is up against much better competition. I see him as a late first to mid second day prospect. I bet there are teams that would like to develop him and possibly make him a competent starter.

@carettirichard I retract the “much better competition” statement because levis was playing SEC football. What i meant was Howard is playing much better against similar elite competition 0 0

Also the vanderbilt kid needs some love, he’s one hell of a competitor and a gunslinger 0 0

The Lions manhandled the Packers in Lambeau without Jameson Williams (suspension) and without Brian Branch for most of the game (ejected). Statement win. Best team in the NFC and it isn’t particularly close. 1 0

@carettirichard DET's coaching staff is operating at another level right now. I thought the Hutchinson injury would take the wind out of their sails...nope. I thought the Branch ejection would swing the game in GB's favor...nope. DET doesn't do excuses. Such a tough-minded team. 1 0

@Mr. Bitter the only explanation I have is that Walter is from the Philadelphia area (if I remember correctly) so anytime he praises the Eagles it gets interpreted as a hometown bias. But like you said, those of us who have been here a while know that Walt has no Eagles bias. As recently as last year he was knocking them, and that was before they started falling apart.

What you’re saying about the Bucs makes sense and I agree. 27 is ridiculously low for a team that is objectively very good at full strength. Yes, they’re nowhere near full strength right now but there’s no indication that they won’t return to full strength before the season is over. Plus they have the benefit of playing in the NFC South. They could easily finish 9-8 and sneak into the playoffs again, and they could be a tough matchup for whoever sees them in the first round.

@christinaolive I think the Bucs are heavily underrated too but it’s not because Walter is upset over the Eagles game. I have been following this site for over a decade now, Walt treats the Eagles like any other team. In fact I have seen him trash the Eagles at times when the mainstream media was drooling over them. I’d like to know why he’s so low on the Bucs but that’s not it. 0 0

@SadisticNobility the Lions were “heavily outgained” because they consistently had short fields due to turnovers and great kick returns. They capitalized on those short fields with touchdowns. It is true that the Lions didn’t play their best game, and yet they still won by 38 points. You take that observation to mean they’re overrated? Seems to me like you’re box score watching rather than tuning into the game. The Lions dominated them in every way, and it could’ve been even worse

The Chicago Bears are a top 10 team? I get that standings and power rankings are two different things but what? Crazy. Also don’t be surprised if they keep Fields, it was just last year that they decided to keep him over CJ. 0 0

Struggling to see why Mahomes is in the MVP race while Goff isnt. They have the same record, Goff beat him in their matchup, and Goff is superior in virtually every statistical category. You even conceded that Mahomes is getting carried by his defense. Make it make sense or correct it please. 1 0

Goff: 1,618 passing yards, 8 Y/A, 69.5%, 11 TDs, 3 INTs, 1 rushing TD, 73.3 total QBR Mahomes: 1,593 passing yards, 7.1 Y/A, 68.3%, 11 TDs, 5 INTs, 0 rushing TDs, 72.6 total QBR The gap isn’t big but Goff has the clear advantage. I don’t see how having Mahomes over him is justifiable. 0 0
