  1. I'm sure the league will invest another new rule that we've never heard of, cost the Lions the game, and give the bye the win. Seriously though, I feel really good about where this team is at the bye week. They are 5-2 and have shown they can beat good teams and win the games they are supposed to. Some of the things we were worried about as fans, like their offensive line cohesion after losing Ragnow, ability to run block as effectively, their pass rush, and how losing both coordinators would effect this team haven't appeared to have had a significant negative impact on this team. They are hitting their stride on offense under Morton and he's got Gibbs in particular really looking strong. On defense, Sheppard has the pass rush looking strong after a lackluster opener against Green Bay. Had we played a bit better in KC, not made so many coverage mistakes on defense, and not gotten jobbed out of a TD by the league, we could be 6-1. We're 5-2 though and I'm fine with that because I like how this team has been playing.
  2. I really like the philosophizing of Alan Watts on religion. He has the ability to be as articulate and knowledgeable on the subjects of atheism, the idea of a deity, and collective religion without the condensation that you sometimes get from atheists like Christopher Hitchens or Matt Dillahunty. Now, I haven't watched or listen to every speech or lecture that Watts has ever gave, so may be is a condescending prick somewhere, at some time. But I really enjoy the academic way he walks you through the reasons there is no ordained God, no ordained religion, no deity that is the divine authority.
  3. I complained about Glenn back in 2022. I didn't necessarily want him fired back then, but I did feel that Aubrey Pleasant got scapegoated for a lot of Glenn's defensive breakdowns and coaching mishaps. Glenn's risking being a one and done in New York if he doesn't get a win here soon. His team looks like they are immature and undisciplined. He looks the same way as a Head Coach. As bad as the early Lions teams were under Campbell, I don't think you could say those things about Campbell or his team. It was simply an issue of talent on the field.
  4. Our defensive line abused Baker tonight and had him hearing footsteps all night. Our secondary gave him no time to get a receiver open either. We shut them down all night. Great job all around by the defensive unit. A fine job by Kelvin Sheppard coached a great game too.
  5. The secondary, for being all second string players, had a hell of a night tonight. Kelvin Sheppard coached a great game too.
  6. WHITESIDE!!! Great play deflecting that TD away.
  7. Johnson was wide open. We're lucky Baker just flat out missed his intended WR.
  8. Ummmm, what exactly were we challenging?
  9. We're going to get boned here aren't we?
  10. Agree with Campbell throwing the challenge flag. He did not Calvin Johnson there and complete the process of the catch.
  11. I feel like they are going to punch them in the mouth now. Great drive to respond strong. Gibbs is cooking!!!
  12. Gotta score here to slow Tampa Bay's momentum.
  13. Imagine a starting outfield of Bernie Williams in CF, Bobby Higginson in RF, and Luis Gonzalez in LF. That would have actually been fairly solid in the field and in the batting order.
  14. Lynn Henning had this on Twitter a few years back as apart of an article he did chronicling Randy Smith and interviewing him I believe. Randy Smith will always have a special place in my, cold, black heart for what he did to this franchise and how he ruined nearly a decade of baseball for me as a kid.
  15. Bickerstaff is being interviewed on Karsch and Anderson on 97.1 right now about the season ahead for those who care.
  16. Also saw this one earlier too . . .
  17. It's also a ironic that Mark runs marijuana businesses and supports a President and a political party that is against marijuana legalization. Like bro, that's your business and livelihood and you support people who are completely against it.
  18. Remember the capitol tourists and peaceful protests on January 6th?
  19. How did we lose to this Washington team? I know, different team, different seasons. Damn they look weak and Daniels does not impress me at all.
  20. In the NFL one of these is a catch and one is not.
  21. They launched a drone strike this past week as well. So that ceasefire lasted all of what, 2-3 days?
