Motown Bombers

Once upon a Monday, in the midst of a great game, While I pondered, weak and weary, feeling football’s sting and pain, Over many a thrilling quarter, the teams began to play, A battle fierce between the Lions and the Ravens on display. “‘Tis just a game,” I muttered, “no need for hopes to wane— But it’s the Lions who shall win, the Ravens' fate is plain.” Then, a roar like thunder booming—raucous, wild, and insane— It was the Lions, roaring louder, sweeping through the rain! "Tell me, why," I said, "so brash, with claws so fierce and keen, Do you chase the Ravens down like nothing I’ve ever seen?" Quoth the Lions, "Nevermore." Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the gloomy third, That the Ravens, faltering, stumbled, defeated by a word. With the ball in hand, the Lions surged, their hearts ablaze with pride, While the Ravens, struggling, faltered on the field they tried to hide. On a fumble—oh, so clumsy!—came the roar from every stand— A lion's pride, its claws intact, its victory in hand. It was no more the Ravens’ time; their quest was all but done, For the Lions led with power, their work far from being won. "Tell me, O mighty Lions, tell me, why this game’s to last?" Quoth the Lions, “We’ll roar on, victory’s in the past!” Then a shadow crossed the field—each raven flew away, While Lions rumbled through the night, their victory on display. And the crowd began to chant, with chants that rang so true, “Detroit’s finest, roaring loud, the Ravens we outgrew!” And the Lions, with their fierce pride, continued on their way, As the Ravens slunk away in silence, hiding from the fray. For the Lions’ might was clear to see, and victory was sure— And every soul would say it loud: "Detroit, we’re here for more!" Quoth the Lions, “Nevermore.

Green Bay 2022, Kansas City, Arizona 2021, Minnesota last year all come to mind.

"The great ones make it"

With the way the defense is playing, I go for it. You don't make it and just need to keep them out of the end zone.

If Muhammad doesn't make that tackle, Jackson has a lot of room to run.

I mean, it was a penalty. No issue with that call. I did think the Ravens player may have gotten hands to the face.

Definite penalty on Mahogany, but looked like hands to the face on the Ravens.

If Goff takes off and doesn't get it, it's 4th and short. Makes it easier to go for it.

Man, I would have liked to have seen Goff just run with that.

It doesn't make sense. If it's a foot lower it hits the upright and is no good.

Give it to Montgomery. He's basically the football version of a closer.

I've been impressed with the way they have contained Jackson in the pocket.

Terrible call.

They did get cute.

I would have at least tried to hard count them.

They're wearing them down. These runs that were for no gain at the beginning of the game are popping now.

Man, Raymond is not having a great night judging these punts.

They really haven't played their best yet.

Correction, we're so lucky to have John Morton. Goff hasn't proved he can do it without Morton.

St Brown needs to understand this is a family program.

I haven't seen a lot of play action. You have the best play action QB in the league. Need to go to it more.

That's won the most games in the NFL since November 1st of 2022.
