Last 10 home games the Lions are averaging over 36 points per game, in their last 16 games as a whole they've scored 40+ 7 times and 50+ 3 times.

Carson Wentz always seems to find a way into getting starts, he's like the new Sam Bradford. Of course knowing the luck Minnesota has had with castoffs like Case Keenum, Sam Darnold and the aforementioned Bradford watch Wentz turn into his 2019 self.

Agreed, I don't know it's probably cause I'm superstitious about stuff like that but I just feel like you are tempting fate by faking injury. BTW was that in reference to something or did he just do it to make people worry?

I just have to give a shout out to the Dallas kicker, that kick he hit to send in to OT was probably the most powerful NFL/college kick I've ever seen. Was halfway up the uprights from 64. Just an absolute missile.

Nice to see a Detroit lineman bat some balls down for a change. It "feels" like something we never have that other teams do. I think it was either Fairley or Shaun Rogers who was good at doing that, not sure if we've had anybody since.

This will probably be one of the few games we play this year where we either aren't on Prime Time or getting CBS/Fox A announce team.

This team is the epitome of the famous Michael Corleone Godfather III meme. Every time they start to look like they're dead and you start to lose hope in them they pull you back in with a big sweep or dominating couple games like the past 2 nights.

8th time this year Skubal has gone 7 innings and given up only 3 HITS or less. Also his 12th scoreless start of atleast 6 innings, no pitcher has thrown more since the mound was lowered in 1969.

Small sample but Perez has been really good the past month, 4 runs total given up his last 4 outings and just 1 his last 3.

Not sure if it was mentioned elsewhere but just saw that Cobb is officially out for the year to have hip surgery. Considering his age he may not pitch in the majors again.

My theory is that in this day and age pass rush from the edges is highly overrated unless they are so good they can get home almost immediately. Reason being is that with the exception of a few QBs you don't have statues back there or guys that are incapable of throwing on the run or making plays on the run. Most Guys today have no problem rolling out when they feel pressure or tucking it and running in any of the lanes left in between the tackles. What really disrupts them is pressure from the inside. You look at the Lions last year and it wasn't until McNeil got hurt and Reader slowed down where you saw a noticeable dip in the defense. I think edges that can set the corner, handle the run and get home early are the ones that really make an impact and those are basically just the elite guys.

McGonigle is the 6th youngest player in the Eastern league yet he is 2nd(1st is a non prospect 28yr old) in K/BB ratio, also has the 11th best RC+ among players with 100 PAs, the 10 players ahead of him all have BABIP 100 points higher and are all atleast 2 yrs older.

When you give up future capital like the Pack did you should get an immediate gain since what you gave up hasn't impacted you yet. The Packers essentially got their 26 and 27 first round pick already while nobody else has obviously gotten theirs. So logically they should look like the winners the first couple years but you really won't really know how the trade worked out for a few seasons.
