Guess it’s official. Parsons is a little bitch. Wonder if he hates play action passes and stunts? Soft as OSU.

"Trick plays are for people who can’t beat you straight up."

Running that through google translate and I get this:

"I'm not a very smart player and easily fooled."

Is there anyone here who speaks "little bitch" and confirm if that's an accurate translation?

The Lions didn’t need to make big trades, they just needed to get healthy.

Well what do you expect? Patullo has lead his offense to an average of 24 point a game this year. So far Morton's offense hasn't even been able to score!

Parsons questionable and likely to play only limited snaps. 

DET 26 - GB 16

How far into the game before TP calls for the firing of the new OC and DC ?

There's no such thing as a "trick play".

47-9, Micah.    Still stings, don't it?

The first handoff for no gain.

I assumed it would be after we won the toss and elected to receive.

That would be to fire Campbell, not the coordinators. The first call to fire Holmes will be after Parsons gets a pressure on Goff.

In Green Bay for this one. Gorgeous day!

I expect a dog fight for three quarters that the Lions pull away from late.

Jordan Love scared me the way the Boogeyman scares children for much of the last two years. Has he ever hurt me? Well, maybe a little on Thanksgiving 2023. But generally no. But I was scared of him anyway, because of what could be. Because of horror stories my father would tell me of Love's father, Aaron Rodgers, and Love's grandfather, Brett Favre, and how they would tear Lions apart bone by bone before going on acid trips in the mountains and defrauding the impoverished people of Mississippi.

I'm not scared anymore. The dude is 18-15 in his career as a starter, and I watched with my own eyes as he folded under pressure against the Eagles in the last game he played. 20/33 for 212 yards, 0 TDs and 3 INTs. Against the Lions he is 1-4 and has averaged 18/29 for 225 yards, 1.2 TDs and 1 INT. Take away the aforementioned Thanksgiving Day game and he is 0-4, averaging 17/28 for 215 yards, 0.75 TDs and 1 INT. And apparently, he's already injured this year, and it is affecting his handoffs.

The Packers are a well coached team, even if their coach is a total douchebag. That coaching is what has kept them competitive the last few years, despite not having the sheer talent that Detroit and Minnesota have. Top to bottom they are a clear 2nd or 3rd in nearly every position in the NFC North.

The thing is, more often than not, the talent wins out. Detroit just has more talent. The offensive line will need to do their job today as all eyes will be on them and how the interior run game and pass protection looks without Ragnow or Zeitler. But generally, I think the Lions have the firepower to win this game, and I expect they will.

Rooting for the Jets, man.   

[Jason_R]

I’m looking for Jaymo to celebrate his new contract. 4 receptions, 110 yards, and one TD of 50+.

Sorry to break it to you, but he has looked good today. Threw a dart on a slant to Friermuth into a very tight window on 3rd and 10, then had a beautiful back shoulder ball that nearly missed being a TD but that set them up for one. 

The Jets look good too. AG has cranked up the ground game and is doing a good job of covering for Fields. They'll win a lot of games playing like this. 

[Motown Bombers]

Fields looks like a different QB. He's looking downfield now when he decides to leave the pocket. In Chicago, once he left the pocket he was running with it.

Go Lions!

Jets and Bears in the Super Bowl....wouldn't that be a hoot. 😅
