And a new server will be operational soon (this week?) with additional memory, so hopefully the quirks in the past two months will be a thing of the past. Hope the Tigers stick around long enough to see some benefit!

Muhammad has more sacks than Parsons.

MWG opening the game thread is what the Tigers need to snap out of their long funk.

Amazing to describe insurrection as 'views'

For real. I can’t imagine a site like this is really very profitable, so to do it all for the love of the game is seriously appreciated. Adds to my game day experience. Thanks a ton MWG!

Stating the obvious, thanks for everything you do with this site. It definitely adds to the post-game experience after a big Tigers win or Lions win to come online and read thoughts shared.

Stupid coaches...

Keep running the ball.

They hate Carp in Cleveland lol

Going into this week, I saw the possibility of the Lions being 2 games behind the Packers. A loss to Baltimore with the Packers beating Cleveland. But the exact opposite happened. I'm as happy as a pig in....well, very happy. 😆

This would be a nice game to win.

I'm sure it is, but when the choice is $85 for a balcony seat versus $275 for a floor seat for an event you don't care so much about, the money part usually wins.

Game ball goes out to the site's server too. It was a rough week in practice with some lag times and crashes, but it showed up when it mattered most on Monday night.

I could see them setting up the St Brown catch which I was under the impression only Ben Johnson did. I noticed on multiple runs they had St Brown motion in as a blocker. On that 4th down play, he motioned in, but then broke out into his route. The defender bit on the run and had to grab him.

Fiber in town here is mixed underground/above ground. These hurdles are not technical or even cost. Last mile/first mile, it goes back to the lack of a mandate to operate as a public utility or in the public interest - again - all bad politics and screwed up government. Somebody once wrote: "Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." Someone did that for us once. Everyday it's more obvious that that once new gov has pretty much lost any connection to its original charter. It's incredible really that we sit here in the most technically advanced and richest country in the history of the world and we can't even do the simplest **** for ourselves anymore.

I don't care what the final score said, the Lions dominated those suckers. THAT was a statement win to all the skeptics who said that the Lions Superbowl window closed. I'd love for them to get another crack at the Packers right now.

Anzalone got held.

That was as good of a drive as a team can have.

Tune in this fall to the all new show, Trump M.D. There will be no medical content, it will just be Trump playing golf while wearing a stethoscope.

Yet you constantly hear whining about how mean leftists and such are to people and they the problem.

Nice play by Sweeney. I was worried about that one.

I think you get two wrong challenges before you don't have any more. So theoretically a team could challenge every pitch in an inning and continue to do so as long as the umpire is always wrong, or at least not wrong more than once.

I heard someone once say that fans of mediocre teams are the ones who really life and die with the wins and losses of their teams, and I think that's pretty accurate. If your team is bad... well, who cares if they lose? It's to be expected. And if they win? Well, that's a fluke, not a sign of sudden turn around. If you're team is good, then wins are to be expected and losses can be tolerated because they're rare and you know your team will bounce back. It's only when your team is in the middle that each win or loss can mean the start of a trend and therefore has much more meaning. I ran @Sports_Freak's comments through ChatGPT and it said there's a 97.3% certainty that they were sarcastic.

Grok is wrong.

Several years ago when the Red Sox lost to the Mets in the World Series one of my former bosses asked his wife for a divorce. I'm not sure that was the only reason for the separation but the timing was interesting. That taught a younger me a lesson. It's only a game, a form of entertainment none of what happens on a professional playing field or even a high or college sport will drastically alter my life. Growing up as a Pirates fan, I'd be depressed for a few hours after things like the Pirates losing to the Reds in the playoffs, or really upset the night that they lost to the Braves in a walk-off. No one got killed. I still had a job, wife, son....that's been my perspective for a long while now. Same as when the Tigers lost to the Cardinals, Giants, Boston.... Watching the Tigers play like they have been the past couple of months has been frustrating for sure, but life goes on....there are much more important things

Thank you for watching all this so we don't have to.

It's just one prominent poster really

Please explain that to my lungs. Grew up in houses that had coal furnaces. One of my chores included emptying ashes and getting the coal into the basement. I'm not sure that was the primary cause of my ILD, there were a few other factors living in the 1960s and beyond...

That and 'carbon dioxide capture.' Start running away when you hear either one touted.

Good lord. The rambling and the egomaniacal self-praise. And rambling on and on and on and on and on. … and, of course, the blaming of everyone else. And he’s still auditioning for a Peace Prize. 🤦‍♀️

I assume this is an exaggeration, but it does contain a pretty solid argument for the position that government, not the marketplace, should manage the distribution of essential utilities. That's a big part of what tax money, especially on the state and local side, should be used for. Consider how long it took to get electrification to the Appalachians.

Just looking back, this really should have been a blowout. The Lions controlled a lot of the play (they were pretty much doubling the Ravens in yards before the final Stat Padfordering drive), they dropped a few INTs and the refs were atrocious with the "behind the line of scrimmage" throw to Gibbs that killed the 2nd drive of the game, the phantom Branch personal foul that essentially gifted the Ravens a FG to make it 28-24, oh right the FG that wasn't actually good. Amazing that they essentially beat the Ravens by multiple scores with all of that stacked against them. Now the schedule doesn't look as daunting as it once did. The Bengals without Burrow and the Chiefs are a bit beat up and just not what they used to be. These will still be tough games and the Lions can win against anybody anyway but the first half schedule doesn't look as tough as it appeared to be a few weeks ago.

This could be the toughest game on the schedule. The rest of the North still has to play Baltimore.

Let's not forget Jake Bates's TD saving tackle. That had to be demoralizing for Baltimore.

What a ****ing game. That was fun.

The Lions run offense was really impressive. Aikman was right, Morton stuck with it and it paid off.

Troy Aikman never shuts up.

I would go for it here. Get it, you bury them. Don’t, it’s a 50-yard field instead of an 80- or 90-yard field.

I'm surprised you haven't found a coordinators job yet.

I’m going to lock this in now because I know I’ll be pissed if we lose. Win or lose, this team looks legit. Like championship caliber legit.

Try as you might, I will not blame a coaching staff that continues to find ways to win more games than they lose.

Really shouldn’t have made themselves one dimensional in that drive after the goal line stop.

If they have electricity that means the road and the poles are already there so it's not that expensive. It's just the political will to admit that not everything paid for by taxes is bad.

10:48, 98 yard drive. As long of a drive you will ever see.

I love game day threads.

Here comes a 97-yard drive that we never look back from. And then I woke up.

She says it well. Very, very well;

So CBS tweeted out this graphic: but someone was missing, so here’s the updated graphic:
