Motown Bombers

The Lions were backed up and get the ball back at half. I'm fine going into the half with a lead and coming out with the ball to start the half.

They are the two best playmakers on the team. While Chark hasn't been effective, he was still a deep threat. I'm not sure who the Lions deep threat is right now? Reynolds?

Goff has to step up in the pocket.

When the refs got together and realized it would be a 1st down for Detroit, they were required to pick it up.

The irony of Romo talking about picking up a flag with no explanation.

I'll take the penalty, but I don't think that's a good call.

Not sure what Dallas was doing there. If you're going to waste a timeout, at least try to get the Lions to jump offside.

Dallas player goes out with a leg injury and comes back in after a couple plays. Lions player goes out and is out for weeks.

When the other team has a 3rd and 1, I just automatically give them the 1st down. I didn't know it was possible to get a stop on 3rd and 1.

That's the type of call when you know you are going for it on 4th down. Pick up 3 or 4 yards and go for it again.

He was even held on that play.

Already see they are standing up Hutchinson.

Lions will come out strong. St Brown will open with a 75 yard TD reception and the Lions jump out to an early 14-0 lead. By the 4th quarter, they have a 20-17 lead. 3rd and 1 and Goff throws a pass to Hockenson but it's well defended. In a reverse of course, Campbell elects to punt and newly signed Jack Fox shanks it. Dallas goes down the field and scores a TD despite holding Hutchinson on every play. Final score 24-20 Dallas.

Glad this got taken care of. I was worried for a minute.

Well, that desire was short lived.

I find it hard to believe, even for Quinn, that if they had a 4th or 5th round grade on Tavai that they would draft him in the 2nd round because they felt he would be lost. It makes no sense to draft him over players you would have graded higher. I just think Quinn and Patricia legitimately felt he was a 2nd round talent. It would make sense Belichick would be high on him as well since Quinn and Patricia were Belichick disciples.

It's the first time since the Going to Work Pistons that I felt they had a core they can build a winning team around. I've also become more turned off by the new NBA as it seems there are more divas per capita than any other league, plus I liked the style of play from the mid 2000's instead of all these 3's. I liked watching a Ben Wallace vs Shaq matchup. It's taken time to get used to this new game.

I decided to schedule an appointment with my doctor to discuss getting a vasectomy done. I'm so disillusioned with the direction Republicans are taking this country that I do not want to have children grow up in this country.

I actually have a desire to watch Pistons basketball again. I'm intrigued by this trio of Cunningham, Ivey and Duren.

I literally have disputed your nonsense about the free agents. They were roster filler for a team that is rebuilding. Had they resigned Golladay to the contract he received from the Giants, that would be one thing. The team is being rebuilt through the draft. I expect them to be more aggressive in free agency in the coming years. Holmes inherited a 5 win team that had to trade their franchise QB. On top of that, we still haven't received all the picks from that trade. It's pretty clear this is a 3-4 year plan as they drafted a WR who we all knew would be limited this year. On top of that, Quinn left a lot of dead weight on the roster in Flowers, Collins, James etc that had to be cut and added to the dead cap so they were hamstrung a bit by the cap.

Man, I didn't realize Sewell was ineffective and injured. I see the post was edited after I mentioned Sewell. I wouldn't say "fell into his lap" It certainly wasn't a slam dunk pick. The Lions already had a good LT and Fields and Smith were available and no one would have been upset at the time if the Lions took either one. Even Parsons could have been taken there.

He signed cast offs to one year deals. They were literally duds before they signed. They were filler while the team rebuilds.

Curious on this long line of free agent duds. Chark was an injury prone receiver who signed a 1 year prove it type deal because *gasp* the Lions are still rebuilding. Holmes could have signed Allen Robinson or Kenny Golladay instead I suppose.
