Most teams defer the opening kick regardless of their defense cause they like having that potential option of having back to back possessions to end the half and getting the ball at the start of the 2nd.
-
Its hard to quantify the amount of positive impact if any a win like this can have going forward but I think it's safe to say if there is anything that can be had a guy like Campbell would be able to get the most out of it.

RE: Goff, his last 5 games he finished with a QBR of 64 which is what Stafford finished the season at and would be good for top 5 in the NFL and had an 11 to 2 TD:INT margin on a respectable 7.5 YPA which again would be good for top 5 if done over the course of the season. Assuming a return of Hockenson, an early WR draft pick/FA Signing and a potentially better O line with a returning Ragnow, more healthy Decker and more seasoned Sewell and I think it could be interesting to see what he can do next year over the course of the full season.

Staley now says he called the timeout because he wanted to make sure they had the best run package in. I imagine he wasn't quite convinced that the Raiders wouldn't throw it on 3rd down but once he saw their package he realized that they were running for sure and he wanted to make sure he stopped them so he called the timeout to put in the different personnel. Unfortunately their best run package wasn't much help.
-
Yeah I don't think Staley was calling the timeout for any strategic advantage or anything cause like you said why wait till 4 seconds left on the playclock to call it then? I think he did it cause he saw something with the defense that he didn't like and/or to just remind the defense of the situation again. Perhaps he wanted to reiterate to them not to make any dumb penalties(like they got away with a facemask a play or two prior) and things of that nature.

Getting closer and closer to that tie. Both teams matched FGs in OT and now we're still tied with just 4:30 left.
-
This game is crazy! Last play of the game and Herbert throws a 100mph dart for a game tying TD to force OT. I believe the Chargers converted 3 4th downs on that drive along with that buzzer beating TD. Hey we may just get that tie after all!
-
I love me some Bol Bol! Seriously every time I have ever watched him he did something that impressed me so adding him just gives the Pistons one more player for me to be interested in. Sure it's a long shot he turns into anything decent in the NBA but I think there is atleast a chance he can be a piece for the team going forward so that makes him intriguing to me.
-
I still think that he may have been hurt the first half of the year or atleast after the GB game in week 2. While he didn't look great those first 2 weeks he was atleast throwing the ball down the field and made a few plus throws, unfortunately he just turned it over too much, but from about week 3 till he eventually missed time due to the injury he just looked horrible. Like he was afraid to throw the ball more than 10 yards cause he physically couldn't. His last 5 or 6 games were really good and more of the type of QB that everybody hoped he would be when he was acquired.

The Lions finished 3-5-1 after their bye week and not counting the Denver game where they barely had enough players to play due to COVID the only blowout loss was to Seattle. The other 3 losses were by 3, 2 and 4 points so they really played alot better in the 2nd half of the season despite having a ton of injuries to key players.
-
Just imagine if on the last play of the game the team reneged on the agreement and faked the knee and ran for the TD. That would be awesome!

I hated Kapler, in High School the baseball team and Softball team got to take a field trip to the Tigers game and this one girl on the softball team that I planned to flirt with while there was too busy fawning over Kapler to want to talk to me.

Brad Ausmus is back in the MLB, just got hired by the A's to be their bench coach.

I just remember in Gabe's first or 2nd game he hit 2HRs against the Cardinals and the headline the following day in the freep just said "Gabe Ruth". I have no idea why that stuck in my memory after all these years but it did. Also I was a 16 or 17 year old kid at the time who paid no attention to prospects or minor league stats, I just got excited and bought into a player if they made an immediate impact and would take no account of their pedigree or how they were projected so in Gabe's case I did buy in after that game.. perhaps that's why I remember it and the headline so vividly.

RandyMarsh replied to casimir's topic in Detroit Pistons
Off topic from the Pistons but I just wanted to point out how weird it is to see all these players from the past(well from a few years ago atleast) playing in games and in some instances actually making an impact. We mentioned Greg Monroe before but yesterday I saw that Lance Stephenson scored 30 for Indy along with Mario Chalmers suiting up for Miami. These are names I haven't heard in years and they are back on the court due to all the covid absences. It's kinda surreal and almost feels like I'm watching the Big 3 where they have all these flamed out NBAers whose names always bring back memories. -
Btw that Dallas win was of course the first postseason win since 1957, if we don't win one in the next 5 years the current drought would actually be longer than that one.
-
They get the Seahawks pick for Jamal Adams. Unlike us who's future picks will probably both be in the mid 20s or later they got fortunate and the team they traded with sucked the following year. Edit: nevermind you meant who would they draft if they traded the two top 10 picks not who they traded to get two top 10 picks.
-
And that 50 yard run secured the game and the playoffs for the Lions as well. The Jets had no timeouts left but if they would've stopped them on 2nd and 3rd down they still couldve gotten the ball with like a minute left down a field goal.
-
I remember watching that one, since the Dallas win probably the biggest win the past 30 years for the franchise. Not only did Barry get 2000 yards but it was a win or go home for both the Lions and Jets so as close to a playoff win as you can get. Of course in true Lions fashion they win a big game but something bad has to happen to offset it and that was the tragic Reggie Brown injury. I remember Bobby Ross's classic quote " There's only two things we can do for Reggie now, we can pray for him and we can play for him. "
-
The Lions and NFL in general was the last sport I got into as a kid so this was either my first or 2nd season as a Lions fan, can't remember for sure. Little did I know the misery they would put me through and how it would all go downhill from there. Kinda like Marino making the SB his rookie year, he probably thought "Ahh this isn't too bad, I'll be back here" and little did he know he never would be. That's my experience with the Lions "ahh losing the NFC Championship game the first year I follow them, not too bad we'll be back some other time. "
-
Yeah GB has clinched the 1 and barring a miracle Jags win we clinched the 2.....pick so there is absolutely nothing on the line for either team. Just a nothing game that I don't think I'll be watching.
-
All I know is that its pathetic a team like the Eagles have already clinched a spot and now people are heaping praise to Hurts. Seriously go look at the teams they beat, they beat up on WFT, Giants, Lions, Falcons, Panthers, Jets and other cellar dwellars to get their 9 wins. The "best" team they beat was a Saints team that was playing their 3rd string QB and missing a bunch of other players. Every decent team they played they lost to and I suspect the playoffs isn't going to be any different.

RandyMarsh replied to casimir's topic in Detroit Pistons
A year ago we may have gotten something good for him but unfortunately that ship has sailed, now best case scenario is probably a protected 1st and salary filler. Still though even that probably has more value for the Pistons going forward than Grant so if that's the best we can get I wouldn't be against doing it. -
Originally I suggested Red Hogs just so they could keep the red and since their oline back in the day was known as the Hogs. Red Hawks would work as well though.

I have an irrational hatred for Baker Mayfield and the Browns(well they're from Ohio so I suppose that's reason enough) so seeing him and them look like crap brings a smile to my face.
