I like Gus. Maybe because I associate him with so many happy Michigan play calls of 2021-2023.

Simply making OSU players and fans sweat and doubt for a half would be fun. Then take it from there.

Was still the right call. I thought he had it in real time, but was short in fact.

If it’s a catch, go for it the way the offensive line is playing.

And where's this AFC playoff gauntlet I see some pundits talk about? The only good teams I see are Buffalo, KC, Pittsburgh and Baltimore. And Baltimore and KC seem to be a step or two back from last year. The #4, #6 and #7 teams right now are Houston, LA Chargers and Denver. The NFC's top 4 teams are Detroit, Philly, Minnesota and Green Bay. I think Detroit and Philly match Buffalo and KC. I guess Pittsburgh and Baltimore are better than Minnesota and Green Bay, but not by a ton. Houston, LA Chargers and Denver don't seem any tougher to me than Washington, Atlanta and the Seahawks (or San Francisco).

Yeah it was a quick whistle if they thought the outcome of the play was dependent upon who recovers the ball.

I like the way that MichiganCardinal thinks, seems to have a great mind.

2-9 LA Raiders take a 17-16 lead over the Chiefs in KC, 8 seconds into the 4th quarter.

Devils predictably score on that period-starting powerplay but Holl answers just 22 seconds later to get the Wings back in it.

I dread what’s going to happen on the 4 minute power play NJ has to start the 3rd.

Wings trailing 4-3 late in the 2nd.

And now a tie game with another powerplay goal from the lost challenge. The Wings’ PK is so bad.

Devils “score” 8 seconds into PP but Ken and Paul on radio expect it to be called off. Nope, good goal. 2-1 Wings.

Rangers lost their 5th straight today. I didn’t see that coming a couple of weeks ago, they sure looked good against the Wings.

Raymond extends his goal scoring streak to 5.

Matinee opens with a rare Tarasenko goal.

As part of his severance, does Eberflus get to take that last timeout with him?

https://www.si.com/nfl/broncos/news/lions-poach-kwon-alexander-broncos-practice-squad Has seen some recent action. During Alexander’s short tenure for the Broncos, he appeared in three games — Weeks 7-9. He compiled a total of 65 snaps over his three appearances and five total tackles, zero pressures, two run stops, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, and one missed tackle.

Important not only for obvious division title implications, but also because GB is a common opponent with Philadelphia. I read somewhere - not 100% verified - that if the Lions win 4 of the next 5 games as long as one of those wins is the Green Bay game, the Lions win the division and #1 seed no matter what anyone else does.

Miami blew a game last year to Georgia Tech in similar. Miami coach Christobal ahead a history of running plays late instead of taking a knee and this time it bit him. I’m trying to remember specifics of another situation about 5 years ago, maybe Dallas (?), where a team in FG position with a chance to tie squeezed in one more shot at the end zone starting with about 8 seconds to go, instead of kicking on that down, but time ran out during the play.

Imagine a drinking game in which everyone took a shot or downed a beer every time Jim Nantz said today “a Lions player is down on the field, appears to be shaken up”. A lot of people would have been blotto.

Maybe Caleb’s intention, knowing the refs, was to draw a pass interference call as time run out and then take the spot at the 1 and punch it in for the win on the free play. 4D chess.
