Week Ten: Detroit Lions (7-1) @ Houston Texans (6-3)

No Za’Darius tonight, according to Twitter.  Assume the Lions are honoring the BYE week he would have had otherwise.

Which is completely fair. Very player friendly.

I was hoping we would go 1-1 in these 2 games, against Green Bay and Houston. I preferred the win to come against the Packers. So I consider us playing with house money, 2 wins would exceed my expectations. 

And Green Bay.....Sucks. 😆

Looks good on Annie Agar. Lost a bet to her Lions fan brother.

As he should be. Why does America hate Germany? A battle of 2-7 teams? 😆😆

So I just woke up from a nap still half asleep and I go to ESPN to check some football scores and on the top I see Houston up 20-17 to Detroit. Still in a complete daze I'm like "WTF did they move the game up or something" and I get all frazzled only to then realize I'm looking at the score of the Rockets vs. Pistons. lol

If Jacksonville had upset Minnesota, that would have been a nice unexpected bonus. But losses by Washington and Atlanta help the Lions' chances for the NFC #1 seed.

We need Philly to lose this Thursday night against Washington.

Justin Rogers says Sewell at LT and Skipper at RT is how they were lining up in warmups. 

[TP_Fan]

That makes sense. What I would have done. 

[RandyMarsh]

It  makes me wonder if the Lions feel this isn't just going to be a 1 week thing with Decker cause if it was I think I'd just suck it up for a week and put the backup in at LT instead of messing with Sewell.

OL has to be the Lions’ #1 priority in the 2025 draft. It’s a key strength, need to keep it that way.

Jared Goff's interview with Jason Garrett on SNF endears me even more to Goff if that's even possible.

Garrett says he doesn't like Jared Goff...he loves him.

The game might even start soon.

Yep. Long ago.  Honoring the bye week.

Win the toss and take the ball. Ugh. There is literally only one opportunity for a 2 for 1 in the nfl, that’s by kicking first. 

[TP_Fan]

Had to have that first down. 

[TP_Fan]

Good penalty.  

[TP_Fan]

And thats why you never take the ball first.  Lions completely out of sorts. Goff spooked and lions will now be fighting the fact they don’t get the ball back after the half either.
