On paper, it sure looked like a good OL.

Um.  Sigh.  Season is over, guys.

I mean, this is just too much to overcome.

Might play a spoiler role in the last month or so, but thats about it.

Damn.

Well, they dont need McCaffrey till playoff time.  I’d be surprised if they use him at all prior to game  10 or so.

Only injury of note, for the Cards:

Jonah WilliamsOT

Status: Injured reserve

The Cardinals placed Williams (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Not a fan of the liberal-comedy-sphere, but I didnt watch the debate, so I wondered how it went.   Watched some of this vid and got a libs’ sense of it.

Week 1 injury report: Jahmyr Gibbs returns in full, just 3 Lions dealing with injuries

https://www.prideofdetroit.com/2024/9/4/24235046/week-1-injury-report-jahmyr-gibbs-returns-in-full-just-3-lions-dealing-with-injuries
<p id=”poV8cF”>Let’s take a look at the Lions’ first injury report of the 2024 season.</p>

Injured reserve, Non-Football injury list

• G Christian Mahogany (Illness, mono) — NFI list, eligible to return in Week 5
• DT Brodric Martin (knee) — injured reserve, eligible to return in Week 5
• DL John Cominsky (MCL) — injured reserve, eligible to return in Week 5
• CB Emmanuel Moseley (pec) — injured reserve, eligible to return in Week 5

Estimated no practice

• S Loren Strickland (thumb)

<p id=”GR8FG4″>Not much is known about Strickland’s injury at this time beyond the fact that he was also not practicing on Tuesday. Hopefully, we will learn more later this week when coach Dan Campbell speaks with the media on Friday.</p>

Estimated limited practice

• DT DJ Reader (quad) — Week 2 target return date, but Lions keeping the door open
• S Ifeatu Melifonwu (ankle) — status for Week 1 “unclear”

<p id=”EkIhQl”>Reader has been projected to return to game action in Week 2 for a few weeks now, but on Wednesday, Campbell indicated there may be a chance the Lions prized free agent is ready to play this week.</p>
<p id=”edt62N”>“So, yes, there’s still a chance,” Campbell said of Reader possibly playing this week. I’ll know more probably after tomorrow than I do right now. He’s doing well. He’s doing well.”</p>
<p id=”LAvz0x”>Reader is not out of the woods yet but there are encouraging signs.</p>
 

Brady is now an analyst.   But he’s also applied to be a part-Owner.    There’s a conflict.  NFL now sez he cant talk to players, coaches, etc, as an analyst.   And, he’s not allowed to criticize Refs.    Weird situation for a tv analyst.

..QB.. but WS just has more physical gifts than KW did. More experience too…as a Rams qb anyway, not counting Arizona.

…PREDICTION: They will set the league on fire like a meat product of some kind in a large conflagration. You know, like a ribeye in the Chernobyl meltdown. 2025 draft: CB, ILB, OT.

I dunno.   I was hoping they would start MS instead of WS.    But what do i know.

Prediction:    I’m worried.   I’m always worried.  Its an RFL thing.

…Signing Williams is going to cost some other guys on the roster, though (next year). Bottom line is that the window is closing on this group, and a rebuild around Purdy is on the way. And they have a shaky OL heading into this season. For those of you who don’t know much about football, shaky OLs are not helpful.

Yeah, they will be good as long as Lynch and Shan are running things, one would think, but their ‘elite’ status should end after this year.

I just hope they jump out of this years window, gracefully.

Like maybe blowing a 21 point lead in the playoffs to the Rams.   Ya know.

Shannahan 50-1 against McV in the regular season

0-2 in the Playoffs.    I could live with that.

Never heard of this guy.  But i watched a short vid of him talkin about Palestine.  It was good.  So is this.   It gets better as it goes.

btw, the second half of that Nader vid is worth visiting.   I know everyone has heard of how the anti-war donahue show got cancelled by MSNBC, but they have the producer of the show on and he gives some details I hadnt heard.   He compares what happened to the McCarthy era.
