Given last year's game I would have agreed at the beginning of the season, but the way this has played out I just don't see it happening. Apathy doesn't make for riots.

I think we're better than the Ravens - but I am concerned about the injuries piling up. I'll feel better if Gibbs will be good to go by this one.

Or set them up for a call later in the game. I thought while listening to the call of the game, Moose kept saying "That's a throw Baker Mayfield won't miss later in the season" - That's who Baker Mayfield is. He always has been. That's the knock on him. If he hits a wide open receiver last season with the Rams, we make the playoffs instead of Seattle.

I've probably told this before on the old board, but I started out a Vikings fan `cuz I was all in on Fran Tarkenton. When the Lions drafted Gary Danielson, he came to my little town in the Thumb & was the Grand Marshal of a parade. He hung out with me & the kids from my neighborhood all day - Threw passes, signed footballs - He could not have been more gracious. I said for years if I ever see Gary Danielson again ... I'm gonna punch him right in the mouth.

I'd like to see the AG employ a bit more zone in this game. The way Ridder is going to hurt you is with his legs - & by not having to man up, you will be able to keep receivers covered & watch out for the scramble. He did that in the 2nd half against Mahomes & it worked. Why he didn't do it yesterday is beyond me.

My guess would be Flacco, since he was already there once - Although, now that I think about it, maybe that's why they'd go elsewhere. I thought the Jets would look back on this trade & regret it - I just didn't think it would be after 1 game.

Vacationing in the UP this week, only got to listen to the 1st half on the radio stream - Watched the highlights this morning. As thrilled as I am with a win over a great team, if a couple of drops go the other way it would be different this morning. Still have work to do in the secondary, but really nice win. I was a little surprised even at DC having the stones to run the fake punt inside his 20.

We just did this with my youngest grandson. He & his mom & brother came to live with us when he was 2 and I was like dad for about 8 years. Now he's steer wrestling in Kansas. & if I think about it too much I cry like a baby.

Man, I'd just as soon they kept Adrian Martinez as re-sign Blough - but at least it's not Tim Boyle.

Staff meetings with no agenda. I've been in my current position for just over 5 years. In that time, I can count on 1 hand the number of times we entered a weekly meeting with an agenda of issues to cover and check in on. More times than not, our GM comes in a little late and spends the entire meeting talking about himself.

Not a huge surprise, in that they reportedly have every intention of putting Hendon Hooker on the roster when he's healthy. If Martinez clears waivers, could they keep him on the practice squad or use him as the emergency QB?

I love that he has his dad coming in as an assistant.

Not only the man-on-the-street interviews, but the amount of time the news dedicated to the story, covering all the avenues, and even the lack of a chop job on the answers to questions. Man do I miss news like that.

I filled out the entire season worth of predictions - & then deleted it because I've been a Lions fan for 40 years & the only thing that has ever been certain is that nothing will happen like I think it will. I do think they're the best team in the division and should make the playoffs. I think they have the talent to hang with anybody, & I expect a lot from this rookie class - but there are still a lot of question marks.

Glad to know he's back in

My favorite part of that was the interception at the end. Spielman rattles off "#40 - Brendan Joseph - Free agent out of Notre Dame" - He didn't consult any paper. He didn't say "Who was that?" He knew.

That's good. A little surprised that Justin Jackson retired. Didn't they just re-sign him a couple of weeks ago? Lions Sign Teddy Bridgewater; RB Justin Jackson Retires

I think Gehringer's right, that you tell them when you need to hear by. If they don't let you know, move on & let the chips fall where they may.

He will be sorely missed in Metro Detroit - He did so much good & LOVED the Tigers!

I didn't even know this existed. LOVE IT! My first go at it ... ⚾️ Immaculate Grid 128 7/9: Rarity: 344 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩⬜️⬜️ Play at: https://immaculategrid.com @immaculategrid x @baseball_ref

As much as I hate that they didn't "get something for E-Rod", I do think long term it could help if Harris is viewed by players as one who won't throw them under the bus. Obviously they'll go where the money is - but if the money's equal, you want a good culture.

I think it's time to break up College Football into tiers. Take 24 programs, compile stats or winning % on a 5 year rotating basis to pick those 24 teams - Break them into 2 divisions. Each team gets 2 of their normal rivalry games protected, but the rest of the schedule is against those other 24 teams. The rest of Division 1 is put into traditional conferences, and fill in the bowl schedule.

I'll vouch for the Labor Day walk - It really is cool. Pasties are one thing I've never been a fan of, for exactly that reason. You never know what you're gonna get. It's just a pot pie.

The one I'm thinking of doubles as a church on Sunday, & the coffee shop is run as a non-profit.

I would do that in a heartbeat
