Romad and others on this board who have friends and family on campus were some of the first people I thought of, and continue to think of. I’ve heard from those I’m close to and they’re safe. It’s all such bullshit. Hope the NRA, the GOP, and their cronies sleep well tonight knowing their nonsense manufactured right means more than a college kid’s ability to hang out with friends at the student union without worrying about being killed.

I think a Lions SB would shatter previous records. People love an underdog.

With a good offseason, there is no reason the Lions can't be a top three team in the NFC alongside Philadelphia and San Francisco.

I don't think a fraud team comes within three points of a Super Bowl win. I do think the Eagles had a historically easy walk through the playoffs to the Super Bowl though, and that the NFC is anybody's for the taking next year. The Eagles are not the NFC power in the way the Chiefs/Bengals/Bills are built to be an AFC power.

In fairness, I doubt he sought out a reporter after the game for an interview. I’m sure either they sought him out or he’s required to give time to the press pool.

With the Colts hiring Steichen, it appears that Glenn will be returning to the Lions. We're getting the band back together!

Barring retirements, and then there was one.

Cheffers did not throw it. He's in the offensive backfield. It was either the LOS official or the deep wing that threw it.

Did not expect to see Bradberry admit it, but good on him.

Picking up a topic from the Super Bowl game thread... The Lions defense as it stands today could surrender "just" 38 to the Chiefs or "just" 35 to the Eagles. Not to say the Lions defense couldn't get better. It can, should, and will this offseason. But offense wins championships in today's NFL. The Chiefs offense beat the Eagles offense. Don't neglect the defense by any means, but go get yourself a Bijan Robinson, Quentin Johnston, or the next Pat Mahomes if you see him there. Go build yourself the best offensive line in the league. Do what it takes to just friggin' outscore the opponent.

I think the fact that there is no consensus despite the ability to watch it 100 times and slow the play down frame-by-frame illustrates just how hard the job of an NFL official is. This isn't picking up the flag against the Cowboys, batting the ball out of the end zone against the Seahawks, or phantom hands to the face against the Packers. Those were all clearly 100% erroneous or clearly incompetence. I think this is just a play that some officials will flag and some won't, and neither are wrong.

I think we may need to agree to disagree on this one.

I'm not saying the call was right or wrong, but it is an example on the largest stage of why NFL officiating will never be automated, why a Sky Judge isn't a real fix, and why no one will ever be happy. There is no objectively right answer here. The NFL will likely release a statement that supports the call. Textbook definition, it's probably a hold. If you surveyed NFL refs, you might get 70% who say it's not a foul and 30% who say it is. What are you supposed to do with that? Tell them to call it, but not if it's in the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl when it will decide the game? Case in point (or case in tweet). Both of these guys are right.

If it works it works, but it seems like you could drop that act after you win.

Lions @ Chiefs opening game of the NFL season??

Travis Kelce saying “not a single one of y’all thought the Chiefs were gonna win” …… weren’t they a preseason favorite??

38-35 was the Lions score against Philly. So it’s basically KC, Philly, Detroit, field.

I’d like to see the all-22. The grab was at the point the feeds I’ve seen start.

If it’s called in the 1st or 2nd quarter I don’t think anyone blinks. I’m okay with it because the situation shouldn’t dictate the outcome. The riots in Philly should be fun though.

Penalty decides another game. Want to see it again.

What’s the relative benefit of a Travis Kelce taking a route from the line versus an Amon-Ra St. Brown from the slot? Kelce isn’t used to block very often, if at all.

Has it always been pronounced pa-check-oh? I always thought it was pa-cheh-coh

Where I’m at is that I want my best players to be on offense. Give me Bijan Robinson, Jamo, and ASB over the top of the top on defense. Defense needs leaders and capable guys who do their jobs, not heroes.

Bumping this as it’s now tied.
