Sports_Freak Posted Monday at 12:02 AM Posted Monday at 12:02 AM I guess Lion fans can exhale now. Life is good again and all is well in the world. Score enough points so the referees can't decide the game. Pure joy... Quote

Browns are bad, Bengals likely have no Burrow, and the Chiefs aren't looking good. Easily go 3-1? KC is still really good. Yes, we <could> win but, easily? I don't think we'll be favored so it would be an upset. Quote

Mr.TaterSalad Posted Monday at 12:14 AM Posted Monday at 12:14 AM There's always a level of satisfaction since we've finally become a good team in knowing the Bears are now both worse then us and the worst team in the NFC North. They truly are the Meg Griffin of the North. Quote

There are other threads for these (very important) discussions. The guilty parties have requested an opportunity to reflect on their behavior and we’ve granted their wishes. 1 Quote
Jason_R Posted Monday at 01:02 AM Posted Monday at 01:02 AM 1 hour ago, MichiganCardinal said: I’m super encouraged by the performance today. (Obviously, how could you not be) We are back to last year where the offense leaves you feeling like somehow, someway, there is still meat on the bone after a 52-point performance. Next week should be fun. When this team gets to play loose, with nothing to lose in a game they’re expected to lose, they are a really fun team to watch. 4th Quarter, interception called back for BB roughing the passer. Chicago scores a few plays later. Could have been a 40-point win. Quote

They were a missed field goal from matching the franchise record for points in a game, and yet they probably could have scored 2-3 more times. Quote
Shinzaki Posted Monday at 02:12 AM Posted Monday at 02:12 AM (edited) Goff's 4th WR is a guy with an insane catch radius who...routinely...makes one handed catches. Other QB's must be absolutely green with envy. This is the most talented Lions roster I've ever seen and I've been a fan since the early 70's (Upon reflection...I may have been a little hyperbolic..the 1970 team I cut my fandom teeth on had 4 Hall of Famers..LeBeau, Barney, Karras and Sanders..and a number of quality guys) Edited Monday at 02:25 AM by Shinzaki Quote

CMRivdogs Posted Monday at 01:34 PM Posted Monday at 01:34 PM After watching the Lions/Bears game and the first half of the Vikings game last night. At least after week two Green Bay might be the only real threat to the Lions in the division. They'll be ok 1 Quote
RatkoVarda Posted Monday at 01:50 PM Posted Monday at 01:50 PM pretty amazing that they won by 30+, scored 50+, after getting nothing in the 2nd Quarter from the fumble and the 4th down "turnover" - this could have been even worse. 4 of the big 5 offensive weapons got a TD; was hoping for a LaPorta TD in the 4th, but that's because I am greedy what a game!

As much as people shouldn't have overreacted to one loss on the road against a good Packers team, I don't want people to overreact too much to one win at home against a bad Bears team. Don't get me wrong, it was a SOLID win, but it was against the Bears, so I won't say I have 100% confidence back... yet. Quote

I remember a handful of mis-pronounced or wrong names said. And I remember the color guy saying after the 4th down stop: "This is as good as a turnover!" Yeah... because that's what it is! It's a turnover on downs. 1 Quote

RandyMarsh Posted Monday at 03:48 PM Posted Monday at 03:48 PM (edited) This will probably be one of the few games we play this year where we either aren't on Prime Time or getting CBS/Fox A announce team. Edited Monday at 03:48 PM by RandyMarsh Quote

I just really, really wish it was possible to get a local crew for each team. I mean come on... it's 2025 with a gajillion streaming options. MLB does team specific crews for 162 games x 30 teams (almost... there are some national games of course). Why can't we have a local crew for just 17 games? Quote

Why can't we have a local crew for just 17 games? A local announcing crew for only the home team? Or a local crew for the Metro Detroit area, a visiting teams local crew and then a national crew for the rest of the country? Quote

It "feels" like something we never have that other teams do. I think it was either Fairley or Shaun Rogers who was good at doing that, not sure if we've had anybody since. Quote
