@FilmstudyRavens True, but it didn’t stop the Bengals from winning big here on Thanksgiving last year. I’m curious how division games compare to non-division games.
@yasukespeaks@TheDunkCentral@RunItBackFDTV Probably not, but LA would probably be a play-in team w/o Luka. Personally, I’d have Luka-Wemby 1-2, especially since neither of those teams were picked to be at/near the top of the West to start the season. Swap Luka and SGA and the Thunder are probably still title favs.
@Joshsurm@nolemonade@SamMonsonNFL What plans fell apart? Outside of maybe Linderbaum, they knew they were going to lose everyone else. None of those other loses were a surprise.
@ggsmanbigW@fsufan_87 @vkillem Just because they’re more valuable to LA doesn’t mean they’re more valuable to other teams. That single 2nd rd pick in 2032 won’t make or break any deal for a true difference maker
@theNFLchick JH wasn’t going to step down so they would’ve had to fire JH first and then pivot to MM, or tell MM they want him to take the job after they fire JH. That may work in-season but MM had other options so no guarantees he stays after firing JH. Could’ve ended up with neither 🤷🏽♂️
@MichaelNatl@andrewsharp Collins & Huerter absolutely did not ‘fall off’ right after Trae. Both had 2 of their better seasons after they left ATL. Both had better/comparable stats since they left
@gkell0618@nikknowsball@devpanchwagh Right! I’m assuming Mac is loyal to Harbs and no guarantee he would want to ‘force’ him out and take his job, especially when he already had another good job on the table. Unless Harbs was willing to step down willingly and/or move to the FO, who knows what MM would do.
@urulakers@TrevorLane What incentive do these teams have to move these expiring contracts to the Lakers? It makes no sense for them to move expiring for expiring with no draft pick compensation since I doubt they want to keep Gabe or Maxi and Rob not trading picks for role players
@bsmolka Yeah, or they could use that time to try to work out a trade. Either way, I THINK he’d need to be on the opening day 53 for his entire salary to be guaranteed so more of a risk if he gets another offer
