  1. What a swing. Kraken come back to tie it.
  2. Two quick goals to start the 2nd flip the score around!
  3. Wings hosting the Kraken tonight. Chance to take over the Atlantic lead with a win.
  4. Scotland will be at the World Cup in 2026. First time since 1998. Two injury time goals today to win 4-2. A draw would not have been enough. https://x.com/bettyglover_/status/1990901757711392836?s=61&t=don8lQTnTq5FKXq14p2GMw https://x.com/kdcunliffe/status/1990901958157148672?s=61&t=don8lQTnTq5FKXq14p2GMw
  5. I had a hernia repair surgery that laid me up the summer I turned 9 but I came back and tore up Little League as a 10 year old with a bunch of singles and safe on an error at bats. Hoping Torres will bounce back as well.
  6. Must win! The Lions will win comfortably, but don't let that fool us that the issues are fixed. Let's just get out of this game without more injuries to get ready for Green Bay four days later.
  7. Going for it on 4th downs makes (made) a lot of sense when a) you have a shaky FG kicker; b) a stellar offensive line; and/or c) it's 1 yd or less so you can just QB sneak or tush push it. a) was the case in 2023 but not in 2024 and 2025 (although Bates may have taken a step back compared to last year). b) was the case in 2023 and 2024 but not so much in 2025. c) was only the case on the 1st of the five 4th down attempts last night, then it was 2,5,3,3.
  8. Obviously the Lions offense is not as good, let alone as fun to watch, as the past two seasons when it was like they could score at will and only team that could beat them was themselves. The o-line is now close to being the Achilles heal. On the other hand, I think the defense is the best it has been in these three seasons and probably getting better. We can still win games, but will look different than recent seasons. The season has not been much different than I expected going in, apart from the horror loss to Minnesota. With NYG, Green Bay and Dallas coming up at home, I fully expect the Lions to be 9-4 and 1st in the North with 4 games to go. Then take it from there. Clearly a notch below the Rams and Eagles at the moment but the playoffs start in2 months.
  9. True. Definitely the 2nd best team on the field and didn’t deserve win. But sometimes you can fluke one out and I hate being robbed of that chance, even if was only a 10% chance.
  10. Only thing out of the picture now is the bye, won’t gain 3 games on the Eagles. #2 likely out too, to the Rams. But are still likely to be anywhere between #3-#7.
  11. Lions should have had the ball back at around their own 25 with 1:40 to go and one timeout.
  12. Now kick it away and try to get a 3 and out.
  13. I think a 55 yarder even with the wind issue is higher % than 3rd and 17.
  14. Ok, now don’t waste any time here. Give yourself until the 2 minute warning to get the TD, if not just kick a FG.
  15. 16-6. So 4 down territory the rest of the way, chance for the Lions to get to 0 for 6 or maybe even 0 for 7.
  16. Eagles now getting dangerously close to FG territory for a 2-score game.
