Hopefully St. Brown is back at it here for the second half.

What the hell was that? He was wide open!

Whew, he was wide open and we were fortunate there.

It drives me insane when players cut backwards to lose the first down like Reynolds did there.

Oh no, hopefully St. Brown is right back in there.

They really are. Dan Campbell's aggression on multiple occasions has given us a 14 point lead.

Great playcalling thus far by Ben Johnson.

Why didn't Goff throw that to him?

I love the aggression as long as he stays smart about it. Caldwell would have settled for 3 there.

You didn't want them to go for it?

Hell yeah, Sun God!!!

I never lost faith in today's game lol

Well fudge! I still think we're winning though.

Michigan State looks really bad this season. They don't have Kenneth Walker to rely on anymore and it shows. They can't grind you down and ware you out and frankly, it doesn't seem they can even score right now.

Maybe I am missing something, but on paper what makes the Vikings a clear favorite? Goff and Cousins come out about even in terms of QB play. Our running game is better than theirs is thus far with Swift out performing Cook. Our passing attack is just as lethal as theirs is, we have St. Brown and Reynolds, they have Jefferson and Thielen. Even if Justin Jefferson is considered a top 2-3 receiver in the league, the Sun God has played as well as he has thus far this year. I think we have the advantage on the Oline with both pass and run blocking. Both of our defenses are banged up with injuries and I think talent are about even. We're without Comisky, Levi, and Pashcal and they are without Harrison Smith. I think we can and will win this game on Sunday. For once I'm not just being knee jerk negative towards the Lions.

So they looked good one week and shit the bed the other. We've looked at least fairly good both weeks. We had a rough start in week one during the first half but hung tough, battled back, and nearly won the game in the second half against the Eagles. We played a lot better against a team that will compete to win the NFC that they did. We nearly won, they got blown out.

Vikings run defense is giving up 5.3 YPC and has given up 274 yards overall. We are averaging 4.6 yards per carry BEFORE contact. This is why I think we can and will win this game. I dropped $100 on the moneyline on this game on Draft Kings. I've never, ever bet on the Lions to win anything. I want the win and my $350 from betting the moneyline and predicting a Lions win.

And they promptly scored 7 points against the Eagles where we scored 35. Cousins looked pathetic going 27/46, 221 yards, 1 TD, 3 INTs, an 18.1 QBR, sacked twice, and a passer rating of 50.1. Dalvin Cook had 17 yards on a lousy 6 carries. I know our defense isn't that good, so they'll obviously score more than 7 points. Again though, look what we produced against the Eagles and look what they did.

This was an evenly matched 50/50 game to me before the season started. It is now a 75/25 game to me in the Lions favor. We put up 35 points against the Eagles and were had a punchers shot at winning in the end. Minnesota put up 7 and fell flat on their face. We are averaging 35 points a game and this isn't the Mike Zimmer-led, Minnesota defenses of the past that had the likes of Danielle Hunter, Everson Griffen, Sheldon Richardson, Linvall Joseph, and Anthony Barr wrecking havoc on opposing OLs and QBs. Add onto that Patrick Peterson is washed up, old, and slow now. Our OLine is a machine, our running game with Swift is one of the top 5 in the league, and our passing attack has looked strong through two games. I honestly think we're not only going to win but cover the spread. The Lions have burnt all of us time and time again when we've bet on them. But this is a new regime, with different players and different coaches than any of the SOL teams of the past. Until they show they can't keep averaging 35 points a game, which will come down to Earth eventually, I'll keep betting on this offense to produce. Give me the Lions in an offensive affair, 38-24.

HOCKEY NEWS: JAKOB CHYCHRUN WANTS OUT OF ARIZONA BUT WHERE COULD HE GO? Would you be in or out on Chychrun? If you're in, what are you willing to trade to get a 24 year old defenseman whose been a 40 point guy before? I think I'm probably out on this one because it seems the Coyotes would want a first round pick or a top prospect in return for him. While I like him as a player, he's not in the Johnny Hockey territory where I'd be willing to give up a lot to get him.

What a marked changed from Patricia where we were dead last by a country mile in QB pressures and hurries.

What fucking century are we all living in? We now have to debate the merits of the 19th Amendment and a woman's right to vote? Mother of Christ!!!!!

These people are truly repugnant.

I'm sure Trump would have no problem calling her a blank blank hoe too. I don't think there is a line he wouldn't cross when it comes to name calling. He's a grotesque and repugnant individual.
