2016 NFL Season

[@SkitchP]

This is going to be the thing that upsets me about Lions fans.

The team does not have the talent to be 9-4. They got there behind a gutty QB and outschemeing the opponents. A mediocre middle of the year schedule played a role too, as well as luck.

So now they've lost 3 in a row to three very good teams (all playoff teams)- 2 of which were on the road. And they'll probably lose tonight. It's not a collapse. It's not a failure. Losing 4 games in 21 days to 4 teams with significantly more talent is not a failure.

QB broke his finger too. Anquan Boldin has been pretty incredible too from where I'm sitting. People are frustrated though. I understand that.


Would be pretty cool if they find a way to pull it out tonight.

[Kaius]

They're playing with the spirit of John Madden.

Cheers, Joey: some order has been restored in the universe.

In 2016, Osweiler will earn a base salary of $4,000,000, a signing bonus of $12,000,000 and a roster bonus of $5,000,000.

Bank of America Corp. awarded Chief Executive Officer Brian T. Moynihan $16 million for his work last year, raising his potential compensation 23 percent. Moynihan received $14.5 million in stock grants for 2015 and left his salary unchanged at $1.5 million, according to a regulatory filing Friday.

I still can't believe the shitty team I saw lose to the Bears in October made the playoffs.
