As ridiculous as it seems, I expect flags to be at half mast at Baylor along with a moment of silence at the football game on Saturday. I’m sure Gym Jordan will say something nice about him on Twitter.

An exciting day in Hell. Satan got himself a real scumbag.

This is exactly the type of game this franchise has historically lost. I still like them big in this one. I see the offense continue to step up led by the run game and put another 30+ on the board. Swift goes for 200 all-purpose and instantly elevates himself a spot next to Cade as the star of Detroit sports.

He wasn’t burnt to a crisp but It wasn’t good coverage. He was beat by at least a step, never looked back for the ball, and actually tugged on the jersey for a PI that probably gets called if Brown doesn’t make the grab. Here are all of Brown’s catches. 5 receptions are on the same route. He’s really hard to stop on the slant pattern. Guy is a beast.

The change was probably coming soon anyway.

They were sloppy and left many plays out on the field but still scored 35 and were in it until the end against a probable playoff team. That’s a huge plus that wouldn’t have happened in the past. What stood out differently for me was the OL. We saw what everyone had hoped would happen with the team investing significant draft capital on OL. They opened massive holes for the running game, gave Goff ample time to throw including picking up blitzes, and no drive killing dumb holding calls. They were dominant at times and this is with a 3rd string backup and Ragnow nowhere near 100%. A consistently dominant OL is something we haven’t had in decades and is something that will keep them in many games this year.

They scored 42 if you count Goff’s pick 6.

He’d be making a mistake to do it now. The only place he can play this season is UM. He’s already used his redshirt so it doesn’t seem to have any value for him to quit now. Hang out and see if maybe JJ gets hurt. He can transfer out at season end either way. BTW, I wouldn’t put it past Jimmy to have doctored the team votes to make sure that Cade was named captain. It’s another thing he could hold over him to use to get him to stay as insurance for the season.

I was ok with the onside but I thought the timeout at the end of the half was the wrong decision for that situation. The Lions defense played terrible and Philly was willing to run out the clock. Take the gift and get to the locker room. In the end, that didn’t lose them the game. That would be some combination of Goff not playing well enough until the end, too many WR drops, and an inability to slow down any facet of their run game. I never had this game circled as a win and am still trying to figure out how they managed to play poorly and yet only lose by 3 and score 35 on a good team. The OL was solid and the run game was better than we’ve seen in years. Swift was unreal and I’m excited to see if he can string together a few good games in a row. I thought the CB’s played decent which is odd considering how much ground they gave up. The book on Hurts is to slow down the run game and take away his ability to break contain on 3rd down. They didn’t do either and that makes it so much easier on to run RPO or PA passes. Still thought they held up better than what I expected. Goff had a great ball on TD throw to Chark and put the ball where it needed to be on the dropped possible TD by Reynolds. He looked really shaky for much of the first 3 quarters. He’s got to clean that up. Overall it was ugly but it wasn’t same old Lions. They showed some things tonight to build on and I expect them to beat Washington next week.

Fuck Me

Pac 12 changed its championship game to top 2 teams regardless of division. USC could have to play Utah twice. I also figure that ND and UCLA will both have things figured out by the end of the season. Don’t sleep on the trip to Oregon St. in 2 weeks. They are sneaky good.

They don’t need to win to impress me. I just want to see the team show up and play a quality football game and not the blunder filled shit show that we have grown accustomed to in games to start the season.

There are going be a fun team to watch this year. Caleb Williams is lethal with these weapons and will be in the Heisman race. The defense is not good which is going to make for some crazy shootouts and help to keep Caleb heaving the ball late into games.

It’s probably best they make the call instead of Binotto. Didn’t matter again today. Max is so far out ahead of the field that it’s made these races almost boring. Technical difficulties are the only thing that can stop him now.

FIFY

The QB was brutal. Missing wide open receivers badly all day.

Hawaii is very possibly the worst team in FBS. It would be an upset if Michigan won by less than 35

This is what happens when you let the players hire the coach.

Herd!!! Pick 6 with under 5 minutes to go. Up 11 now.

Herd take the lead back. They are going to make the Irish earn this one

What’s going on right now in South Bend.

OSU and Clemson dropped a place in the poll this week for struggling before winning going away. Neither were ever in doubt of losing like Bama today. The Tide must drop out of #1 and maybe further in the poll next week. Complete garbage if they don’t.

Looked like a broken collarbone. Good thing Ewers already got multi millions from NIL.

Two enormous brands can’t get together and figure out how to share. I don’t blame either for the issue. RB is doing just fine without Porsche and I wouldn’t expect Porsche to enter F1 unless it was the perfect deal for them.

If he does a silly walk during the coronation then I will do a complete 180 on my feelings for their stupid monarchy.
