All that, as CJ Stroud might be the #1 pick in the draft next week.

When will everyone put the whole Ohio State QB jinx thing to rest?

Justin Fields was the highest drafted OSU QB in the past 40 years. I get that Haskins didnt pan out. But its not like OSU QBs were ever a hot commodity. How many 1st or 2nd round QBs from there have been taken, besides those 2?

Art Schlichter in 1982?

[QUOTE=Grid;18812512]How did this fall to page 2?

NFC North All Time Win Percentage.

The Packers are at .571, Bears .556 & Vikings .548. And all have won more games than they have lost. Also worth noting, the Bears and Packers have played more games than any other team, and still hold winning records.

The Lions? Now that there are 17 games in a season. The Lions would have to win every single game from this season until 2030. Go 122-0 over that span and STILL be under .500

There is also only 1 team in the NFL, to exist for all 57 Super Bowls. And never even play in one.

You don't think Lions fans are aware of their team's long-term lack of success? I'm pretty sure they're all well aware and don't care. Lions fans have something to be optimistic and that seems to rattle Bears fans. It's not like the Bears have been a pillar of success....3 playoff wins in the last 30 years and the same number of Championships in that span as the Lions, right?

We all, mostly, agreed to keep the NFC North trash talk in our own little bubble here. Did you miss the past 8 pages of BS the fans of this division have been pumping out on their rivals?

Cap. Kirk rules the Division. Goff rules the Packers. Bears cant draft. ETC

Dont get all butt hurt.

And no, the Bears have played in 11 post season games, in the past 30 years. Won 4 of them, including the NFC Conference Championship and played in a super bowl. They also won their division 5 times.

The Lions? ZERO post season games won, in the past 30 years. ZERO Championships won over that span. ZERO Super Bowl appearances (ever). And only one division title, back in 1993 (Bears was 2018) over the past 30 years.

Not sure what you are talking about, but thanks for giving me more fuel for this fire!

Bears fans getting in preemptive strikes.

Let's see what happens on the field.

Until then, we'll enjoy the rent-free occupancy of Bears fans' heads!

We have the better St. Brown, too!

First, your St. Brown is untained by moldy cheese so that's a win by default.

Second, I like Dan Campbell and a friend of mine is a big Lions fan.

Third, you're welcome for your 100% subsidized housing. It's to help you to better pull yourselves up by your bootstraps and someday be a real team!

Oh, the rent-free part isn't permanent quarters - we just visit when we're not welcome.

At least we can agree on FTP, and FTV.

I'm going to guess this was immediately followed by a Draft Kings commercial.

Ha, that was my first thought as well. I get you broke the rules and I don't have any real sympathy for those players in that regard. It is just funny that there is a gambling app commercial in like ever commercial break.

Hot take:

I don't have much sympathy for people who knowingly and intentionally break arbitrary rules, but I do have a measure of sympathy for people who break [I]grossly hypocritical rules.[/I]

Harry was so excited for this season too! I'd like to image, him hearing there was breaking Lions news on ESPN, and tuning in to see what blockbuster trade they just pulled off.

Only to sit and watch this news story instead...

Thank you all for your concern and compassion.

I am quite sure Jamo will appeal and get it down to 2-3 games. This may mean that we only beat the Bears by 17, but otherwise I'm not terribly worried.

Dumb on the part of the players, but also kind of hypocritical on the part of the NFL.

OldMoldy can return to his moral wheelhouse of belittling disabled people now.

I've been telling you guys that the Lions are going to shock the world - they're obviously just getting started!

Well, it's now apparent that Jamo will not be able to appeal this.

At least the memes have been 🔥.
