It was garbage coaching.

Kick the FG earlier in the game and everything at the end of the game is moot.

That's on the coach.

You kick the FG earlier in the game instead of going for it and none of the 2 point BS matters.

Dan Cambell sux as a coach and I have no idea what you guys see in Gibbs.

I still don’t get why various Secretaries of State simply don’t put Trump on the ballot.

Isn’t the United States based on “Federalism" and "States Rights"?

What can Trump do about it? Sue?

Sure, but then he would have to prove he didn’t cause an insurrection.

He would have to prove that he wasn’t an Officer of the United States.

He would have to prove that the Oath of Office, which he took, doesn’t state that he has to "support" the Constitution.

Put the burden of proof on him.

If he proves those things then he sure as heck doesn't have "Presidential Immunity."

Alabama left Abraham Lincon off the ballot in 1860, Harry Truman off the ballot in 1948 and LBJ off the ballot in 1964.

To my knowledge, they were left off the ballot and that was it.

None of the case were appealed to the Supreme Court.

What makes Trump special every single time?

The Lions aren't making the playoffs.

Great seeing Donna Pescow again in that Capital One commercial.

Yep.

Basically, the judge concluded that Trump engaged in an insurrection but since the Presidency isn't "really" an officer of the Government, he can appear on the ballot. 

WTF? 🤪

I don't know the answer, but I can tell you that I interact with people from a variety of backgrounds in my day-to-day life and much of the ugliness we see online largely doesn't exist.

That may be your experience but it certainly isn't mine.

Everyone I know is full on MAGA. Everyone I meet is full on MAGA.

There have been NO exceptions to this.

Two examples from this past summer:

At an event I met someone I went to high school with. Probably had  seen him only a few times since then.

After the initial "Long time! How ya doin?" greeting:

Him: Trump 2024! What are we going to do with all these transgender people?

Me: How do you think the Tigers will do?

Second person I had not seen in 40+ years. Called me out of the blue and wanted to meet. I agreed. We did.

After the initial "Long time! How ya doin?" greeting:

Him: Trump 2024! What are we going to do with all these transgender people?

Me: How do you think the Lions will do?

You all have NO idea what is coming. I could be wrong and hope I am but I don't think so.

Vikings win.

Both teams with six wins.

That’s the rule change this year. It’s been the case in college.

If you request a fair catch, you have to catch it. But it’s also a touchback if it goes into the end zone. So if it’s going there you can let it go.

Though if someone else calls for it, and then you catch it, it’s still dead, but you get it where you caught it, not at the 25 (unless you’re in the end zone).

Thanks!

They certainly made that complicated!

Are all TD's automatically reviewed now?

It was a kickoff not a punt 

Interesting.

Someone told me the rule is you just have to signal fair catch and you automatically get it on the 25 yard line.

Is that correct?

Also, do you have to actually catch the ball or just give the fair catch signal?

Was I seeing things?

I thought the Chargers called for a fair catch at the two yard line.

Great idea trading / releasing all your running backs and then compounding that by passing on the top running back in the draft.

That was a Joey Harrington pass if I ever saw one.

the best player in the draft fell into your lap and you took a third down back and then overdrafted a linebacker.

Yep.

Don't forget drafting Hendon Hooker 68th overall.

This is gonna be ugly.

Yep.

IMHO Jahmyr Gibbs is a bust.

D'Andre Swift is the fifth leading rusher in the NFL and Bijan Robinson is the 10th.

Now imagine that those tools were made by IG Farben in 1944 in Auschwitz.  

I thought IG Farben manufactured children's toys? 😉

Triple word score if anyone gets that reference. 

They're still in business.

America was, is and will always be based on a “gentlemen's agreement." For over 200 years there were gentlemen – and gentlewomen  - and there was an America. Now, that there are no longer any gentlemen, there is no agreement and thus no America.

I've already written this off as a loss.

I don't think highly of Jahmyr Gibbs - at all.

Of course D'andre Swift is the second leading rusher in the NFL.

Just now, holygoat said:

Not liking this.

Nope.

Looks like SOL about to happen.

Youngster! 😉

Gibbs has looked like the second coming of Kevin Jones.

Not to mention drafting a QB with a career ending injury 68th overall.

you had the best defensive tackle prospect in a decade fall into your laps and instead you drafted a running back and linebacker.

Yep!

With that said, which players from the Lion's most recent draft have played let alone been impressive?

I will admit that I do not watch college football.

Awaiting Archie Bunker's return to rant about how Hunter Biden's Constitutional Rights are being denied.

For some reason, I don't think that's going to happen. 😉

Nice win but I am old.

Thus, nothing will top opening day 1980.

43 Years ago today!
