Lions are a mess when it comes to cap space. They also need a ton of help at LB, CB and DE so I doubt they spend much money on FA o-lineman. I guess this is what happens when you suck for so long... keep picking in the Top 5 and under the old system you have to give huge contracts to guys like Stafford, Calvin and Suh.
If you look closely the QB was about to go down if Black holds onto him and flass down but instead he tried to spin tackle him and helped him stay on his feet. I watched the play over 10 times and it will keep me up all night... HE HAD HIM IF HE JUST GOES DOWN WHEN HE MADE CONTACT AAAAAAAAAAAAH its almost as bad as the near block in the Rose Bowl against Texas.
Sometimes QB's make great plays and you have to live with it. Black had the guy sacked and instead he makes an Eli Manning type play to keep it alive. Just ask the 2007 Patriots...
He's not that good. No speed and can only break tackles against Purdue and Illinois. People need to forget about him (guy only had Mac level offers) and pray that Fitz comes back healthy or we land Green.
Mattison was awful today and cost us the game with all the blitzes. Also, our defensive line is just brutal, we have a defensive line specialist as our head coach and we can't bring any pressure with our front four.
He has been playing a ton! What more do you want him to do? On 3rd down and long they put Smith in because of his blocking although he has had a tough day.
Defense has done well besides the big plays but our offense has not dominated anything. Gardner can sure throw the ball, problem is our recievers are having a hard time getting open and our lack of size at the position shows in these type of games.
Everyone loved the Borges game plan when it worked against Iowa. The truth is we don't have players in the trenches to beat teams with better talent especially if we have turnovers. Even last year we had problems (Molk and Martin really made a difference) and could have lost to ND and VT without the ball bouncing our way.
Les Miles has won 11 games or more in five of his seven years at LSU. Makes you wonder what his record would have been at Michigan had we hired him in 2007. I know LSU has had a ton of talent but to win that many games is very impressive.
Not sure if Brian Kelly would do this but I think Saban is going to end up in Cleveland. He was the Browns' defensive coordinator from 91-94, went to Kent State and the whole Mike Lombardi connection. He's 61 so if he wants another shot at proving people wrong and getting it done at the highest level, now is the time. Pete Caroll is proof that giving pro football another go-round isn't such a bad idea.
No college program is a bigger destination job than being a head coach in the NFL especially a historic team like the Bears. Kelly could go to Chicago (its not a rebuilding situation which is very enticing) and have instant success with players like Cutler, Marshall and Forte not to mention the talent on defense. If they can fix the O-line, I can honestly see them making a run at the super bowl.

9-3 and we will beat Sparty in EL. It will once again come down to the Nebraska game for the legends division.
Bring back the Hoke banner. We did quite well when that was up.

Teams with the most cap space:
1. Jaguars $25 mil
2. Titans $19 mil
3. Browns $17 mil
4. Bengals $16 mil
5. Eagles $15 mil
23. Lions $3.7 mil
The only reason he's at Michigan is because his HS coach is related to Fred Jackson.

Forget about the running backs.... outside of Toussaint we have no one that can run against this great SC d-line.

Seriously, how the hell did we give up 52 points to Mississippi State? I know it was two years ago but that game still ticks me off....

For some reason I have a good feeling about this game. Michigan wins 21-13, Roundtree has a big game.
ps-We have not won back to back bowl games since 2000/2001 Orange-Citrus bowl.

LSU always makes games closer than they should be. They barely beat terrible teams like Auburn, Arkansas, hell even Towson kept it close against them.
Clemson is such a fraud 10 win team. They beat a bunch of crap ACC teams plus Auburn and lost to FSU and rival SC. I wish we had their schedule...
