So are you saying DC4 will retire after the completion of this game?

Carr retiring would be a best case scenario but given the money on the table I doubt it happens. But if some players from the following list retired it could help force the teams hand on rebuilding versus 'win now' illusions: Thomas, Peat, Kamara, Ramczyk, Davis, Jordan, Mathieu, or Hill. Obviously Kamara and Hill still have it but so did Sanders and Johnson, and a concussion plus the saints issues could force their hand especially if they have a concussion or something, which would not be surprising with Carr's hospital balls. Ramczyk rests a lot and could retire early like Turley which might force a rebuild. Jordan and Davis have already proven all they can so if they don't want to force a trade to a contender or grind it out for a hopeless cause, retirement could make sense.

Loomis: “We have all the right people in the building… namely, Dennis Allen, Derek Carr, and Quido.”

All the right people being hard liquor distribution company delivery men. As long as that Gilbert's vodka keeps coming every morning is the start of a good day for Loomis, win or lose.

I'm pretty sure that Guido is in the Dome if that's what you're talking about. and I'm pretty sure he has to pay for hs tickets too.

Good luck coming back against a legit, playoff caliber team.

One positive note; the Lions aren't using much clock!
