We’re winning the division with 12. I think this fanbase has taken this Eagles loss insanely hard, this team beat down the mighty Bills. Andrews is back, our defense is looking better. Fuck Dieonte Johnson. We needed a bye, we’ll stomp the Giants, won’t get swept by Cleveland, we’ll beat down the Texans and we’ll finally beat the Steelers.

Then this team will make up for last years letdown in the playoffs.

I think it's tough for this team to cut him especially when they know that his skillset can helped them when it comes to facing teams that have defenses that can allow their corners to cover in man coverage and pressure the quarterback with their four man front successfully. Johnson has the ability to beat man coverage and I believe was the main reason why the team traded for him especially after seeing how things went against the browns

So I knew Johnson was a diva and an overall inefficient WR with drop issues. I honestly didn’t remember he was this guy too. Get him out of the locker room now, fuck the comp pick. People need to see this again

I think he’d be cut if this was week 3 or somewhere early in the season. At this stage, they know what other teams could potentially need him and they don’t want him finding his way to a competitor. I genuinely don’t believe they have any expectation of him contributing here at this stage.

Yeah what are the chances he gets cut and ends up in K.C? If he sabotages himself enough then he won't find his way to any NFL team but at this point someone will pick him up and K.C could have a shot at getting him if he clears waivers, especially given that at this point most teams seasons are done so the only ones who will take a chance are the teams who can make the playoffs.

Update: His suspension has been upheld after he appealed it. He then made a tweet comparing himself to the Joker. He just doesn't get it, he'll be out of the league in no time.

i mean it's wild that he got 3 games when there's no precedent for that at all

I agree with the length of the suspension, even without precedent, as it is a dangerous play. However, I would like to see the NFL eliminate the fake slide from the game. It should be a penalty if quarterbacks attempt it. This would remove any incentive—other than being an ass—for defenders to engage in these kinds of plays.

I wouldn't stress the Giants, that team is a mess. Drew Lock is not beating us

I wish I had your confidence. I have us as a lock for the 6th seed and a rematch in Pittsburgh. 10-7 finish

Only thing is, I feel we are guaranteed as high as the 3rd Seed(Division Champions) and low as the 5th seed. We own the tiebreaker H2H over the Broncos and Chargers. I think that 5th seed is the perfect spot to be in, play Houston then worry about Pittsburgh/KC/BUF in the Divisional Round.

Yea your def right, I just peaked at the schedules and I agree that head to head vs the charges likely puts us at 5

The only thing that would suck about that is whatever intel he could share with them. Put him on the field tho, he’ll be a liability

Pitt and Houston. Also it would not shock me one bit if we beat one of those teams while losing to Cleveland.... 10-7 feels right

Now gentlemen, if there was a team to keep an eye on, it's the Broncos. Look at their remaining schedule. That alone can shake things up in the playoff picture. We still need to win our games.

I will say, I do think Denver potentially could pull off an upset in the playoffs. Hopefully not against us but if things worked out where they are the 7th seed, KC is the 2 seed, I would be willing to predict a Broncos upset win over the Chiefs. If they are the 6th seed playing Pittsburgh, it will be tough but I think they could do it. They to me could be a team similar to the Titans in 2019, get hot at the right time and pull off an upset in the playoffs.

Yea I agree they could be a problem. I really don’t know why people hate on Bo Nix. Dude is 9th in EPA, 10th in QBR, and 15th in TDs. Folks call him low ceiling … silly IMO

I wouldn't disagree but then again if he was apart of the team much earlier he probably would be starting over Bateman possibly given that his resume may dictate that he should. I think that's probably how he feel as well and he probably even thinks he should be starting over Zay Flowers. I understand his frustration given that he's 28 years old and will be a free agent next year. He most likely wants to take advantage of the opportunity to make the most money but of course he definitely handled the situation in a very unprofessional way. He needs to grow up but at the same time I think this offense also needs him too. I love seeing Tylan Wallace and Nelson Agholor make plays but they probably better suited against zone coverages.

I guess the only back up wide receiver that gives the ravens better chance to beat man coverages is possibly Tez Walker due to his speed but the team obviously doesn't feel like he's ready to contribute on offense just yet. If the suspension doesn't change anything for Johnson then that's understandable but i'm hoping he's letting at this opportunity as humbling experience and he actually returns with a mindset that suits the ravens way.
 
I’m happy for Dan Campbell, guy caught alot of heat with his initial presser, but the Lions have really turned it around. In a world where people are so full of shit it’s nice to seem someone be their authentic selves

Felt cheesy and inauthentic at first, and then the more you get to know him, you realize it's 100% who he is. Made a scrappy team believe and then added some quality draft picks on top of it. Ultimate vibe guy.
 
Lions got away with so much bs. I hope they lose in the playoffs because Campbell’s dumbass goes for it and fails too much. He’s wreckless
