  1. Jack Campbell was getting held, this should be negated anyways. But screw Barnes on that too.
  2. EFFFF Dean Blandino and Jerry Jones lol
  3. Jack Campbell was being held, **** that!
  4. A couple really nice, big defensive plays on this drive.
  5. This is a game for playoff seeding. Goff needed to get rid of that to at least give us a shot to kick a FG. You can't ask this defense to win you the game, they just generally aren't built to do it. When they gift the offense a turnover they have to turn that into points if they want to win.
  6. Throw the GD ball away Jared. Now we're out of FG range.
  7. Ahhhhhh, several running plays stopped behind the backfield.
  8. Damn, how clutch has Ifeatu Melifonwu been lately. Love this kid and what a find by Brad Holmes.
  9. Smart call by Dallas to decline that. Take the 3 points here.
  10. Montgomery waited for the hole and got a nice pickup. 👌
  11. Nice to see Dallas burn a time out on the opening drive.
  12. Great play fake there and love to see them stretch it beyond 15 yards. Love that play call.
  13. Big pickup by Raymond. Nice throw by Goff to hit Raymond.
  14. It was stunning to me to read the stat about us being 0-15-1 when we score fewer than 4 goals. I knew we were porous defensively this year and have had our share of goaltending concerns, but my god. Outside of acquiring talent and hoping for healthy goaltenders, I don't know how you substantially improve on that. I don't feel like their is a schematic or system change Lalonde can make that will drastically improve our defense and our ability to hold onto a lead. Once again, all the good feelings from a decent start to the season have been completely erased this year and here I sit worried. Though this year, unlike last, I am worried not as much about scoring, as much as I am about our inability to play any stay home defense and hold onto a lead.
  15. Jimmy Johnson is a bum who needed a super team to win in the 90s. He didn't win squat when he went to Miami. Ok, so he's a good coach, but I really hope we spoil his ring of honor night tonight.
  16. Maybe this will turn out to be a version 2.0 of the Baltimore game and we get blown out. But if we want to go out and show the world that we are legit, then we got out and win or at minimum lose a very close game. Dallas has a decent, but by no means great, run defense. We run the ball well and win when our combo of backs runs for north of 120 yards. Why can't our running attack lead us to victory. I think it can. I'm going with the Lions tonight over the Cowboys. Lions 30 - Dallas 27.
  17. What a Super Bowl it's gonna be, Lions vs. Browns. SOL vs. SOB. The Curse of Bobby Layne vs. the Curse of Jim Brown. The Ford Family vs. The Haslem Family.
  18. I saw Riley Patterson missed a chip shot last night for the Browns.
  19. We've had a lot of proud, storied moments in Detroit sports history. We've had multiple World Series titles, NFL Championships (though no Super Bowl), Stanley Cups, and NBA Championships. However, we've also had a lot of not so proud moments in our sports history as well. These terrible moments in our sports history have largely been thanks to incompetent ownership and the General Managers they have employed to build their teams. We have certainly had our fair share of downright awful GM's in this town too. We've had the near 25 year reign of terror with Russ Thomas as Lions GM, followed later by Matt Millen's near decade's long reign of terror. We've had Randy Smith and Al Avila running teams that were on pace for the all time losing record in Major League Baseball. And now, we currently have a GM in Troy Weaver with the Pistons whose working on his own record of all time futility in the NBA. So that begs the question; Who is the worst GM in Detroit sports history and why?
  20. I used to bring these types of stats up when Ma . . . Ah nevermind. It's just nice to see a Lions QB is playing really well against top defenses. Nice job Goff!
