Is a kicker who can make a 52-yarder too much to ****ing ask for

I’ve never seen Ben Johnson express as much emotion as he did telling guys to get out of his way on the sideline

Let’s reset here, hopefully get Monty back. Hard to get things going without a run game.

Ben Johnson draws them up and Dan Campbell makes them go BOOM

That’s a Dan Campbell special right there

With Montgomery and Gibbs out we have no choice but to pass

Hoping just the wind knocked out of him

Force a mistake and of course there’s a hold.

The 3rd down conversions are going to continue to kill us if we can’t find an answer that’s not “hope they drop it”

Calls a fair catch with no one within 10 yards of him.

Excellent shot of the Field Judge egregiously out of position

Thank you Mr. Evans. Much appreciated.

I’m worried those 4 points will come back to bite them. When you’re gift wrapped 7 points on the road, it’s rude to turn back 4 of them.

Surprised by the conservative play calling there. I didn’t believe it was actually a punt until it left his foot.

Wasted opportunity there. They gift wrap you plus territory like that, you need 7 not 3.

Yet Goff has still not been given any substantial credit for the Rams Super Bowl run or for what has turned into a very successful career. With the graphic that Lions PR put out you would think the debate would be "is this QB on track for a HOF career", not "is this QB worthy of an extension" Even now, with Goff being at the helm of the Lions(!!) seemingly successful rebuild, it's like the national media narrative is that they're doing it despite him, or that it's only because he's got a good offensive line and running game. He went into his last game with Josh Reynolds and Kalif Raymond as his WR1 and WR2 and scored four touchdowns! If he manages to host and win a playoff game here this year, I don't think it's crazy to put him above Matt Stafford and say that Jared Goff is the best QB in Lions history. Look at QB Power Rankings from the preseason though and you'll find Daniel Jones ranked above him. Look at some now and you'll find Brock Purdy ahead of him. I even saw one that had CJ Stroud ahead of him.

I was thinking today about the different trajectories of the Michigan and Michigan State programs. Since MSU beat Michigan 37-33 on October 30, 2021, Michigan is 25-2 overall, 23-0 in regular season play, and 19-0 in B1G play. MSU is 10-13 overall, 9-13 in regular season play, and 5-11 in B1G play.

He hasn't seen the 4th quarter in a game yet this season, I doubt that would change against MSU if the score got out of hand.

Actually pretty crazy how much damage one bad season (with an injury) and a poor relationship with an egomaniac media doll of a head coach can do to a guy’s national reputation.

I’m not sure. If Michigan takes a 14-0 lead, I could see State just giving up. They’ve shown no heart at all under Barnett.

Alabama-Arkansas is a three-point game with 10:00 to go in the 4th. Bama has felt primed for implosion all season. A loss to 2-4 Arkansas for the first time since 2006 might just do it.

Like a good 4-1 team with a two-game lead in the division that should probably win but will survive a road loss.

Never a doubt

What mystifies me about the Browns move too is that they had a good thing going with Baker Mayfield. He wasn’t perfect but he was a competitor who brought them within a couple points of an AFC Championship Game appearance. There was just no need to be the crazy team acquiring Watson on an insane deal. NFL owners are probably happy to see him fail, hard to imagine a fully guaranteed contract like that being signed in the near future.

I really like what they did this year in signing Glasgow. Having six effective offensive linemen has really saved us this year through injury. If we can find a relatively cheap swing OT next year I wouldn’t be opposed to having seven effective starting linemen.
