Congrats to Dan & the city of Detroit.

Moving on to the divisional round.

So hard not to like the Lions. Gibbs is like Kamara with another gear of speed.

Both the Rams and the Lions put on an offensive clinic. Get under center or at least a pistol-type look with a single back and run the ball and good play action out of it. These modern zone defenses can't handle it. The shotgun should go back to what it originally was - a 3rd and long formation.

Also - if we had seen this version of Love and Doubs instead of the early edition, they wouldn't have needed to comeback and likely win easily.

Refs tried their best to advantage the Lambs yet again. Good for the Lions to overcome and move ahead.

Packers, Texans, and the Lions took their lumps, rebuilt, and now are teams to be reckon with. Meanwhile the Saints continue to faux compete, put themselves in cap hell, and take it a year at a time. Foresight. We have have none. We continue to play checkers year after year.

The Packer way (which actually was the old NFL way) is the best method to develop QB's. Draft a QB ahead of time and let him be the #2 for 3-5 years and then give the next QB the reigns. Rodgers and Love succeeded because of the patience and confidence of this process. I hope next year we put Haener at the #2 spot or draft a QB to compete with Haener for that right.

+1.

And lack of urgency has been puzzling. We've seen countless teams doing broad evaluations of staff and players, but we have guys taking vacation for a week. I don't expect to see many (if any) changes on the offensive side of the ball.

Watching the Lions & Dan Campbell turn a losing franchise into serious playoff contenders ... THAT is a Leader. The energy, the drive, the hunger.

Like the guy said in that Remember The Titans Movie .. "attitude reflects leadership".

2024 will be bad, just watch.

The front office probably feels that there is no need for a sense of urgency when you're just making a few tweaks to the system. This front office desperately needs a point of view and fresh perspective from the outside. The product is getting stale.

This front office needs a new front office.

My takeaway on wildcard weekend is that the Saints current coaching staff is not even remotely close to having what it takes to compete with these other teams that won on Saturday and Sunday.

Mickey Loomis better wake up & stop trying to convince people on WWL radio that he has the "right people in the buidling".
