It may have not mattered anyway but McVay probably should've called a timeout earlier on that drive to give his defense a breather instead of waiting till we got to the goal line.

Great drive to end up the game and get the W. I of course will gladly take it but it doesn't change the fact that I hate the NFL OT rules, will never seem right to me that a team doesn't atleast get a chance to answer all due to the fact they lost a coin flip.

I tend to agree but I can also see being aggressive there for the reasons I mentioned and don't think it was that crazy of a decision.

Considering Bates has kicked a 64 yarder in this building I don't think it was that out of line to try to be aggressive there, all it would've taken was one crossing pattern completion and they would've been in his range. Unfortunately Decker just got beat.

And Joseph saves Hutch's ass on that drive!

Hutchinson with just a disastrous penalty. Gonna likely cost us atleast 3 points, and now he whiffs on the sack.

Atleast Gibbs had the ball clutched pretty good but I still hate when players try reaching for the goal line in situations like that even though I know it's probably just done instinctively....AND now ruled a TD! Nice!!

Between the Jamo injury timeout, the 2 minute warning and now this review stoppage it has been a LONG last minute of game time.

Calvin Johnson doing the pre game hype package for SNF.....just throwing it out there. lol

lol at Antonio Pierce. Raiders down 6 with 7 minutes left in the game and he punts on 4th and 1 at the Chargers 41 yard line! Dan Campbell he is not.

Yeah I probably was underrating the Colts cause even with Love that would be a tough game. I do often wonder though if you are hit with a major injury is it better to have them against elite teams or run of the mill average teams? The reason being that yes against the elite teams you probably need your best players to beat them but if you end up losing it doesn't sting as much since you probably we're going to lose anyway. OTOH against the inferior teams you may not need all your guys but by missing them it gives that team a better chance to upset you which would hurt alot more than losing to a superior team.

Love apparently has an MCL strain and is expected to miss 3-4 weeks. The Packers have the Colts, Titans, Vikings and Rams the next 4 so not a tough stretch by any means(particularly if he is back by the Rams) but if they were to lose 2-3 of those games that would be tough for them since I'm sure going into the season they were expecting to go atleast 3-1 in that stretch.

Notre Dame losing doesn't quite offset the embarrassing UM loss but it helps some. On a side note I know nothing about ND's kicker or how the game was going but unless he has a monster leg I think I'd rather take my chances with a hail mary. You might get lucky and draw a penalty or get a fluke reception.

Kriedler works a walk which will raise his season OPS of .363. Don't think I've ever seen a non pitcher or early season/extreme small sample lower than that.

Good call ump! Tigers go to the ninth up 2-1.

I know Texas has a ton of talent and has arguably the best QB in the country but with that said the defense really disappointed me today. I knew that our offense was likely to struggle this year, particularly early on since we have so many new pieces but I hoped the defense would still be really good with guys like Grant, Graham and Johnson returning but thus far that hasn't been the case. As far as the QB situation goes I don't know enough about NIL and reasons players go to specific schools but with all the talented and/or previously highly regarded QB recruits that hit the portal and changed teams this offseason it amazes me that Michigan couldn't land one of them. JJ not announcing his draft decision until after the initial portal period and the top guys were taken may have hurt that though.

Looking around the league at potential Tork replacements and I zeroed in on Jake Burger of the Marlins. Of course doesn't offer much average wise but hit 34 bombs last year, 25 thus far this year and has a career 113 OPS+. He's RH which we need and I think he has a couple years of control left. Considering where the Marlins are at they likely would be open to trading him for prospects.

At the end of 2021 Goff was outplaying Stafford despite playing for a terrible Lions team. He won offensive player of the week 2 times in the final 6 weeks and in which he had 3 different games of 110+ QB rating. Yes it's a assumption but assuming he played at a similar level with a more talented Rams team there's no reason to think he couldn't have taken them through the playoffs that year too. It bears repeating that Rams team had one of the easiest playoff slates you can possibly get with a free falling Arizona team who Goff destroyed a month earlier, a Bucs team missing several important players, a relatively average(for an NFC Championship game opponent) SF team missing Trent Williams and a young Bengals team who only 9 games in the regular season. A Goff led team could've easily won all those games as well. So to sum it up yes I'm making some assumptions but I just think it's lazy when people(not saying HolyGoat I'm speaking in general since the media always says this as well) just say "well the trade won the Rams a Super Bowl so it worked out for them" when they very well may have won 1 or more if they stuck with Goff and either used those draft picks on other players in trades or drafted the right players. Goff led Rams team made the Super Bowl and was in the playoffs the year prior so they were right there. It would be like us trading Goff and 2 1sts this past offseason for a different QB and we end up winning the Super Bowl this year with said QB. Would we automatically just assume that the only reason we won that Super Bowl was because of that trade? I know I wouldn't.

That would make it inaccurate cause "Super Bowl Win" didn't come with the trade. Also Might as well include "division title, playoff wins and franchise relevancy for first time in 30+ years" in the Lions column then.

I have no idea what to expect in this game, UM could win or get trucked I'm really not sure but one thing I am sure about is that I'm glad to actually have a big game to watch this early in the season instead of facing another cupcake. The last couple years we had to wait till the end of October or November to actually get a "big game feel" which sucks to me as a fan.

I was wild over Mize just cause I had the belief that his fastball command was much much superior than he has ever shown as a pro. The couple times I watched him in college and some of the reports I read led me to believe that it was 70+ or about as good as you will ever see from a player his age. I figured that with that type of command and having 98 in his back pocket along with a complete wipe out secondary pitch that he would be at a minimum plus starter with a Cy Young ceiling. Unfortunately the command wasn't anywhere close to what I and many people thought and the fabled splitter of his either became a non factor due to that or like the FB command was nowhere near as good as people thought or just flat out got worse with age.

I went up to watch the first High School football game of the season at the District I work for and a guy comes up to me and tells me how I coached him in football when he was a kid. I quickly remembered after him giving me his name so I asked him what he was doing up here thinking that maybe he was a student or something and he says he was watching his son play. Completely threw me off guard cause I'm "only" 41 and my child is only in 1st grade but given I was in my early 20s when I coached him and he had his child young it ended up checking out. Still was wild to me.

I was coming to post that MCDC commercial but didn't realize Bombers already beat me to it. Cool to see Dan in a commercial but feel like they missed something by having the joke be about covering your mouth so they don't steal your signs/order. Given that he is known for his aggressiveness and motivational skills you figure the commercial would center around something like that.
