Jack - disappointing hit. No need to play dirty. Definitely don’t need to giver the Raiders D a reason to cheap shot our guys.

Hate to like your post, but all Jack needed to do was apply the pressure he already did.

Hold the plane. We need Crosby to stay in Detroit.

It was a penalty, but it didn't look intentionally dirty by any means.

That would be incredible.

Lion offense played a bad game. And the offense carried the day.

 

[Rob]

That would be incredible.

He dominated, unlike even Hutch dominated.

He dominated, unlike even Hutch dominated.

My favorite defensive lineman in the game today.

Like a football Rodman. His energy level is not normal.

We saw a dominant DE tonight. That player changed the look of 5 or 6 possessions. That player was unstoppable despite the Lions knowing he was their only DL playmaker. Crosby is a beast. Pay the farm to get him...

What is a realistic compensation package for him?

Raiders would have a dead cap of 47 million if they trade him. His current cap hit is 12. I don't see how they can.

If it was going to happen I would say it would be closer to 2 1sts than 1 in comp.

He just signed a huge contract this past off-season. I don't think there's any way to make a trade for him actually work.

Although I have seen media members mention him as a possible trade, and they change so much about how contracts work all the time, so I don't know. When I did know how stuff worked, a huge guarantee like that would all count against the cap for LV. They'd probably be looking at 30+ million in dead money next year. For them to give up a pro bowler and take on that much dead cap space, they'd probably ask for 3+ first rounders.

Jahmyr Gibbs was a beast.

Brad rules.

Buggs was a healthy scratch for Martin so it is possible he is on the trade block. I would be willing to trade Jammo too. He still has not figured out how to catch a football. Dropped another one tonight.

It would have helped if Ben had schemed to actually block the best defensive player on the field in the first half. I am getting less and less enamored with Johnson play calling. Still better than Campbell but probably not the genius everyone is making him out to be. 6 trips in the red zone and only 1 TD. Retarded play calling on 1st and 2nd down inside the 10 several times. The 1 good call he made and ARSB decides to not throw it.

 

[Old Lion]

Defense played better and schemed better but lets face it, it was the Raiders. That offense sucks. One of the worst in the league.

 

[Jiddy]

You guys are good.

But are you GOOD good?

Just win a f*cking playoff game already.

*condescending undeserved Bears fan smugness*

 

[Mebert]

Lions trade a 2025 6th round pick for Donovan Peoples-Jones. Holmes said he is unlikely to make anymore trades. so.......meh?

 

[elguapo]

We could have had young for a 3rd?! I would have done that

The man has no ball skills... not NFL ball skills anyway. Aside from the drops he doesn't pick up the ball in the air well when he goes deep either... it had better come down where he's running because he won't be able to go get it.

 

[Mebert]

I would rather the Lions increase snaps for Green over this trade.
