The headlines on ESPN:

Reid has full confidence in Wentz if Mahomes can't go!
JJones: Trading Parsons has never been uttered (okay that's ownerspeak but...)
Campbell: That loss is just what we needed.

Yesterday had a couple too
MacDonald said, "optimistic Geno can play Sunday. Obviously, he was injured enough to not come back in but initial evaluations show there's no structural damage. Everything is there. He's a tough guy."

We all know Wentz is a step down from Mahomes.
Campbell could be correct about the loss but they certainly didn't need Montgomery and McNeill done for the season.
MacDonald has to be optimistic. Seattle can't afford to lose any games and Sam Howell looked like Thurston Howell vs Green Bay.

Jerry Jones? LMFAO. If you didn't let Dak walk, you certainly better not trade Parsons.

Mahomes has been bitching about playing 3 games in 17days or something. 4 in 23 days. 5 in 27 days. Might be a good Idea to let Wentz play either way. Wentz still can mess up a few teams.

Geno might be risking it, and could get injured more, but Howell is not beating Darnold.

Parsons is leaving most likely, maybe not by choice.

DC, well fuck him. Its karma coming back and getting the lions.

I think the Lions desperately need home field advantage.

Sucks seeing them lose so many key players. Hutchison was a big loss. Now Montgomery.

It's injuries and it's timing. Detroit still has a lot of weapons though.

The kneecaps can go home after round one of the playoffs.
Was thinking, if you're gonna constantly bite kneecaps, you're gonna lose a few teeth along the way! But, if an NFC team other than the Rams would make the Super Bowl, Detroit with Goff and Minnesota with O'Connell are at least acceptable. I can't stand Philly for geographical reasons and to a lesser degree, Tampa. Additionally, Tampa has the congruency of Philly cockiness from the days of Sapp and Lynch. I can't root for Green Bay (Favre, Rodgers) and Washington (Snyder) because those 3 will forever be associated with them in my memory. The only AFC teams in contention who are acceptable to me as Superbowl participants are Buffalo and Houston. So tired of Mahomes and Reid. The Chargers have Harbaugh. Denver has Payton. Baltimore had Ray Lewis and Pittsburgh fans are far too cocky, though I love watching those two kick the snot out of each other. So my rooting interests, after the Rams, are severely limited. :laugh4:

Truer words have not been spoken. They won't even be on the field at the same time.

Who I root for other than the Rams is similarly convoluted. The who I hate is black and white, but I will root for anybody if it puts my rams in positive position in standings and seeding.

I have zero love lost with Campbell. His players are dirty, I've seen it time and time again. Now he's getting repaid in full.

Ok now that I have that off my chest. The NFL is a brutal sport, as we witnessed this season with half of our starters on short term IR. In reality if you're a good team, your health is the clearest indicator on how you'll do come playoffs. Every team is an injury or two away from being sent home.

Yeah, I can’t fault that logic.
