Holmes may have been the find of the century for this franchise.

I like the game plan so far. Make Wilson beat you. He might make a throw or two, but I don’t think he can win a game on his own.

Was that catchable??

This run defense is becoming criminally underrated. They’ve been shut down recently.

God DAMN is Ben Johnson a genius!! 4D chess!!

I’m okay with going for it on the one. I’m not okay with four straight runs.

Opposite experience for me when I think of Lions/Jets. I was there for MNF week one 2018, the last time these teams played. By “there”, I mean I was still in line at security (they implemented something new and it went terribly, everyone was there for 45+ minutes) when the Lions picked off Sam Darnold to start his career… Turned out that was the best play of the season. I was in my seat for the rest of the thrashing though! I remember booing after Stafford threw his 4th interception and thinking how worried I was if this was Matt Patricia’s debut. We lost 48-17.

Lions 20 Jets 9

I’ll predict that Wilson doesn’t make it the whole game and Saleh puts in Flacco after concern that his own offensive line will start collecting sacks

They should have re-signed Boyle and offered him to the Jets if Wilson gets hurt.

KOC and Saturday met at halftime and Saturday said “you know what’s worse than going down 33-0 at halftime? Blowing that lead in the second half.”

The Vikings tying to clinch the North would be very Vikings.

At halftime it looked like he might coach his way to the full-time job. No more.

That was soft. If Jefferson isn’t shaken up on that they don’t flag it.

30-0 now

In the event the Lions finish 4-0 and the Vikings finish 0-4, the Lions would win the North with a 5-1 divisional record compared to a 3-3 record for the Vikings. Probably unlikely but I wouldn’t take the possibility off the table.

Vikings are finding it difficult to score without their kneecaps. Down 20-0 to the Colts.

These are both very fair criticisms. I’ve never had a poor experience with them, but I also don’t have 30 years of experience with them. I meant more so that I find it very doubtful any doctor with MM would have completely neglected their duties in a way that seems to be being implied. This wasn’t some back-alley doctor. I’m hesitant to speculate… but I think it’s possible they misdiagnosed All’s injury in February, and then being it was in the Spring had very little interaction with him between February and June, when it was diagnosed properly. If that was the case, All has every right to be upset and I can’t blame him for transferring. It’s not as if we should be firing doctors though. Practicing medicine is hard.

I don’t think it was any one thing. It seems like it had a little to do with how Cade was treated (they were friends) and a little (possibly a lot) to do with his injury and how the UM medical staff handled it. This is a tweet from his father, quoting (a reporter who quotes) All’s private doctor. FWIW, it seems that All is refusing to (and/or wouldn’t be able to) allow UM doctors to respond. Which is his right, and I wouldn’t encourage him to do any different. (Though I would encourage him to stop talking about Michigan and let his game at Iowa do the talking)… Just taking it all with a grain of salt because who knows what the other side of the story is. Michigan Medicine is not substandard.

Do people not realize that this would happen to any defendant? “I’m on a business trip that day for the job you previously approved”, defense counsel requests adjournment, judge (that’s not a hard ass and doesn’t think you’re lying) approves and adjourns.

That’s my biggest gripe with the hockey rink on a football field. You can fit 110,000 in Michigan Stadium for Michigan/MSU or Wings/Hawks but good luck knowing what’s going on if you’re there. It’s a cool one-time experience but wouldn’t work long-term.

I don’t know y’all, Goff has been having a pretty good year.

I don’t think any team at the college or professional level would ever agree to share a sideline with the other team in a non-exhibition game. It’s a recipe for disaster. I also don’t think the capacity would be sufficient for anything above a low-level ACC team or an Army/Navy/UMass. It’s cool as an exhibition spot though.

Depending on your feelings about the Vikings, the Jets are probably one of the best teams we have played since either the Cowboys (Bills too, though they were missing Von Miller). I like our defense's chances at shutting down whatever QB is rolled out there. Given Glenn's propensity to blitz often, I like the chances we have of rattling him early if he's not at 100%. It's not crazy to think we could hold them under 20 points. The question will be the offense. Sauce Gardner is likely going to be able to do solid work at cutting off one of our weapons. If they pair him against ASB that should be a fun matchup to watch. I'd like to see us get Swift involved in the pass game, and possibly start working in Jamo some more, both in the pass and run game. A jet sweep to Jamo with the right blocking package could be lethal. We still haven't really seen what he can do with the ball in his hands and space to work with. Moving the ball will be difficult at times. This isn't going to be the cakewalk our offense had against the Jaguars. We can't pull what we did against the Patriots and give up when the going gets tough. Special teams may be a difference maker too, for either team. Scratch, fight, claw, and take our points when we can get them (@Badgley). Win 12-10 if you have to.
