You might be surprised to learn this, but my game day experience is highly dependent on watching everything in real time. The best part of football games are the game threads and the texting with my buddies (we have a group chat of 8 of us). Michigan and Lions games is like 70% of our yearly traffic. Without this message board or my buddies and messaging in real time I’m not sure how I could even watch the game. It’s the interaction with others that is enjoyable during the games. The games themselves are miserable experiences filled with anxiety and high blood pressure. The chatting is awesome and then a win means you get to consume hours of postgame content about your team winning.

Somebody watched the game today;

I did a half marathon today and one of the signs said “run like JD Vance is chasing you”

I find it insulting to do someone's job for 15 minutes and say we're the same.

In all seriousness, I blame The Apprentice. He should have had a show called something along the lines of "4 Bankruptcies and Counting." I'm too lazy to look up the exact number right now.

Why does everyone act like anything Trump does is good? He looked like a clown.

This is not magic! This is what is wrong with the game. Total BS that he’s gaming the rules the league created for the sole purpose of protecting him. This play needs to banned immediately in the same way as the fake slide.

Lions and Politics, you can't go wrong.

I think there is a silent Harris voter, and it’s republican women who don’t want to upset their husbands.

I love that Woody Johnson fired Saleh and his defense is now getting destroyed.

I'm watching Aaron Rodgers second half collapse against the Steelers and laughing like Sideshow Bob

Truth,

Man, I hope you're right, because the closer we get, the more uncertain I am.

An SF defensive back needed to lay him out at the tail end of the run. It sounds bad and would start a fight, but that’s what he’s asking for running like that. I don’t think there’s a way to write this out of the rules. The boundary lines are what they are. Just need to let him get smoked at the edge of the boundary and not have it be a penalty. He’s a runner, he’ll be treated like one. And also a note for Adam Schefter - the “Magic of Mahomes” this year has more picks than TDs through seven weeks. Tied for the league lead in interceptions.

I don’t know, I think a lot of people are going to find this charming. Not sure it gets him many votes, but I don’t think it’ll lose him any.

Watching the highlights on Youtube... and I'm reminded of just how much I HATE that Viking horn whenever the Vikings have a good play. And I think the reason I hate it so much is that I think I'd love it that much if I was a Vikings fan. It's a cool sound effect that fits with their team so yeah... I'd love it if I was a Vikings fan... hate it as a Lions fan.

Sorry my message was probably confusing. What I meant to say is SF had a small window and we don't. We have a young team and a lot of those players will be with us for a while.

That’s why you put a club option in the deal

Unhinged? No my friend... DVR is the best thing to happen to football since the forward pass. I get an hour of my day back and I don't have to watch ads? Sign me up. Also after the other team gets a lucky play in and goes for a TD...? You know that part where the announcers gush over how wonderful the play was and how they schooled the Lions and replay it 3 or 4 times? Yeah, I get to fast forward over that too.

Time to see if that story line about the Lions physically beating up teams holds true.

Let's see if I get this straight.... he works 15 minutes at a McDs that's closed for the occasion... and uses it to mock Harris's experience working there years ago? Sad part is it will probably work in his favor.

I have. Deaf ears. Jason Martinez, roster resource, got back and fixed the fangraphs page after he confirmed they were under 3.

Can you believe there are some who want to fire the offensive coordinator?

This is an insane stat.

I personally did NOT like that. I thought it was dangerous and the very next play showed why. This is slightly like the last season when the Saints did a "victory formation" but then ran a real play so Williams could get a TD. Obviously less egregious, but still in the same ballpark. "Victory formation" is supposed to signal to the defense that you giving up the play to run out clock so no one needs to play hard and risk injury. The offense is conceding the play, and defense agrees to not try to hurt anyone. But then Goff sits there for a couple of seconds running more time off. What happens the next play? The defense lunges hard at the Lions even though they're back in "victory formation." If someone got hurt there it would have been the Lions fault imho.

already has.

Don't get much closer than this.

Justin Jefferson against the Lions the last four years: 2021 Game 1: 7/124 2021 Game 2: 11/182 2022 Game 1: 3/14 2022 Game 2: 11/223 2023 Game 1: 6/141 2023 Game 2: 12/192 2024 Game 1: 7/81 With the exception of that early 2022 game (also the last time we lost to the Vikings), he's been a Lion killer. Excellent work by the secondary to limit him.

Get a look at potential future Lion Harold Landry.

I also think they wanted to put an early season game in Bates’s hands to give him the experience.

Remarkable. Best Lions team in ALL of our lives;

Terrible rule.

Oh wait, you mean the season's not over ?

Raise your hand if you thought the Lions would take the lead less than halfway into the second quarter after the horrific S.O.L. start they had. Now lower your hand, because you’re lying.

I’m not afraid of large free agent signings. I’m afraid of Al Avila making large free agent signings.

Alonso is 29 and a fraction of the player Soto is. Alonso does not expect 12 year contract. I think he will get 6 or 7, and I don't have confidence he will age well. Soto is only 25. He will get much, much more
