Dan beats Ben week 18 SNF
Dan beats Sean Payton SBLX

I don’t hate it
Just did a playoff predictor at ESPN
Week 18 SNF
Lions vs Chicago for the division and #2 seed
Loser misses the playoffs
Det wins 12-5
GB 7 seed 11-5-1
Chicago 11-6
I’m not biased
I just found the script that’s all


Wow, just ran that through according to what I think is likely to happen.
We’re out of the playoffs, but have the chance to play spoiler vs Chicago. If we lose, both GB and Chicago are in. If we win, Chicago misses the playoffs at 11-6 and Dallas & GB make it at 11-5-1.
We’re a different team than 2022. Don’t know if we could muster the drive necessary to win a meaningless game. Our eyes are on the big prize, beating BJ and the Bears (can’t believe I’m just now typing that) just won’t be a reward that beating the Packers in 2022 was.
I think the NFL script writers are going with the “zero to hero” story arch this year.
That handshake for Dan Campbell following a loss to Ben Johnson, and a loss of the division title, will ignite a fire in MCDC that will go scorched f*#cking earth on the NFL in 2026. The Incredible Hulk moment, on a cold January afternoon.
Can’t count out the Lions & Bills
America loves these teams
Colts are back down to Earth,
Patriots & Broncos have the next great young QBs
Then there is stil Jimmy Harbaugh & Justin Herbert
Bears have a great run…but they have the Packers twice and @ SF let’s see
