  1. As Ken Holland said, kid's aren't the answer, this is a men's league. Ben Chairot, JT Compher, Justin Holl are men.
  2. He literally helped get him elected when he reopened the email scandal. He should literally be thanking him, not indicting him. If you look at Hillary's poll numbers after Comey reopened the investigation in 2016, you can see just enough of a drop off where she was effected by it.
  3. Yeah, so in 2020 we had a candidate who literally had dozens and dozens of very detailed, very specific policy proposals on how to fix this country and improve life for the average, working-class person and their family. From climate action to healthcare to housing to infrastructure to transit this person laid it all out on the line. In-fact, this person's campaign slogan was quite literally "I have a plan for that". Instead, America rejected her as too academic, too liberal, too wonky, and too unlikable.
  4. The Big Buck is still the winningest coach in Lions history in-terms of overall number of wins. Not for long I would imagine with the pace Campbell is on. Truly incredible that a guy as terrible as Fontes has the most wins in our franchise's history. I think the Run & Shoot offense, under a better coach with a real QB, with the weapons we had in the 1990s (Barry, Herm, Perriman, Morton) would have been an explosive offense. It would have been the greatest show on turf before the Rams were a thing. Oh well!
  5. I for sure had (maybe still have) PTSOL that causes me to lean more negative. I've always loved the Lions and have never rooted for anyone else. They have been my team, even when I am negative and down on them. After being burnt so many times as a fan, with so many false promises and crazy moments that you'd have to see to believe, it is hard to stay loyal. However, we all did just that. It's just that some of us, even though we were loyal, turned into habitual naysayers and negative fans. When you're an overly negative, glass half empty fan, people will look at you and wonder why are you even still a fan. People even make comments to us naysayers about finding a new team to root for and to stop watching the Lions. But it's because we care so much and invest so much time and emotional energy into this team that we are so passionately negative. Unless there was a strategic reason for tanking or getting a coach/GM fired, it's not as if those of us negative fans (T&P, myself, others on the negative end) wished for the Lions to lose week in and week out. It's just that I think we refused to keep being homers. We refused to believe they were actually, sustainably good, until they could prove it for a full season or more. The constant negativity we feed ourselves turns us into cynics and skeptics sometimes. Now, I've made an earnest effort to grow and mature beyond the fan I was. To recognize and celebrate the great things this franchise has been doing the last 3 years To actually just shut up and have fun when watching the Lions play. The person who spent years hating on Matt Stafford and wishing he would get traded so the Lions could rebuild is largely gone. But I still have lingering bouts of PTSOL and in games like the one against Baltimore, it makes me assume they will lose. Every dominate Lions performance, like they had on Monday Night, causes me to feel a little bit more reassured with each and every win.
  6. The other key difference between Jimmy Kimmel and Donald Trump is that to my knowledge, Jimmy Kimmel did not insight violence. Nor did Jimmy Kimmel attempt a violent coup d'etat to stay in power in an elected, public office on January 6th. Nor did Jimmy Kimmel violet any oath of office to uphold the Constitution. Nor did Jimmy Kimmel attempt to appoint or support appointing fake Electors in a scheme to thwart the Electoral Count Act. Nor did Jimmy Kimmel encourage people to go to the US Capitol building to physically try and stop the electoral vote process from occurring. Trump's attempts to insight violence and his attempts at a coup d'etat to stay in power were primary reasons he was canceled off of social media I do believe. I believe his bans on Facebook and Twitter came after January 6th's attempted insurrection and coup d'etat, did they not?
  7. RIP to former Bengals and Lions RB Ridi Johnson. Far too young to pass away.
  8. I've tried over the last few years to be a more glass half full fan and it is tough. It is especially tough with the Lions because they have almost no history in my lifetime of being any good. So I can't say I am a positive fan by any means when it comes to the Lions, but I am trying to be. I am trying to give them the benefit of the doubt and believe they're going to be the ones who come in, punch the other team in the mouth, and win it.
  9. Before this game people did not have the Lions in the conversation with Buffalo and Baltimore as the best teams in the league. Well we are now. That was a statement win that says we belong with the very best in the league. We looked like the best team in the NFL tonight for sure.
  10. All the communication issues and worries people had about the interior of the offensive line after week one, seem to have been corrected. I feel reassured.
  11. Is this the biggest regular season win of Campbell's career?
  12. Monty!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's ****ing gooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
  13. They need a first down here to bury them.
  14. The Hutch Monster has come alive big time in this game.
  15. Dude, the facemask penalty, dumb as it was, killed what they wanted to dial up and do there. 2nd and 15 sorta does that to playcalling.
  16. I'm on the fence about Goff's decision there. He potentially had that if he would have kept going. He likely takes a lick on it if he does pick up the first down.
  17. They need 7 here to put themselves up two scores.
  18. They have done a nice job containing Lamar in the pocket.
