Micah Parsons tore ACL too.

So three times farily recently - down 3 to Minnesota, down 7 to Philly, down 7 to LA Rams - the Lions kicked off with around 2 minutes to go asking the defense to make a stop to get the ball back to tie. Failed each time.

I don’t hate the play call up of a throw up the middle but you need to go down 2 seconds earlier than they did. Got it to the 40 and no more plays, but could have got to the 35 and had time to heave one up.

Would be an ideal time for trouble with the snap.

We need to stop it on 2nd and 3rd down then Campbell needs to call a punt block.

Torn ACL reported now

Needed a TD there. Chance of the Rams not even getting a field goal is tiny.

A stop?!

Need a strip sack TD.

Is Teslaa even dressed?

Rams FG, FG, TD, TD surrounding a couple of Lions’ 3 and outs. 20-0 run.

54 second 3 and out. Nothing like giving the Rams possession at midfield against defense. Will be a miracle if hold them to a FG here. And as I type, already down to the Lions’ 11.

Sack. And just like that the game has shifted.

1st and goal wouldn’t have been an automatic TD, the way the Rams have been snapping it today and if the God forbid the refs decided to call offensive holding on the Rams for once.

How is that a touchdown? If he lost possession, it hit the ground and is incomplete. If he retained possession, he was down at the 1.

That iffy holding call changed everything.

The next 90 minutes will be interesting. At halftime: Lions up by 7. Packers up by 2. Seahawks down by 7. Niners up by 7.

The Lions’ offense is fixe

I’d go for it. If you punt away, Stafford will use the 2 minutes to score a TD anyways.

I’m entertained. 17-14 Lions.

Hutch!!

Ugh, decent drive, zero points.

Another shutout win for the Wings, 4-0, as they wrap up a fine 4-1-1 road trip.

Another good night for the Copp-Kane-DeBrincat line. Then Finnie adds one. 3-0 Wings over Hawks in Chicago, late in 2nd.

Listening to the Canucks’ press conference yesterday, their conclusion by this fall that Hughes was 100% not going to sign with them was due in large part to Hughes wanting to be back east to be close to his brothers. So question is whether that means only NJ or whether Detroit would be close enough. I like my own brother very much but unless I have a chance to work for the same company as him I couldn’t care less whether he is one province over or three provinces over.
