Honestly when I heard Branch was appealing I 100% thought it was a stalling tactic to make sure he could play against the Bucs with Arnold and Kerby both being questionable and that they'd then drop the appeal after the game. 1 Quote
holygoat Posted October 15 Posted October 15 Man, I'd hate to be a banged-up Bucs team coming into Ford Field to face a pissed-off Lions team the week following a bitter Lions loss that featured several controversial calls and no-calls that ALL went against Detroit, sparking copious national media attention and outrage. This has "refs make-up game" written all over it. 1 Quote

Shinzaki Posted October 16 Posted October 16 Lions have signed Safety Jammie Robinson off of the Chiefs practice squad Quote
sagnam Posted October 16 Posted October 16 Decided to grab a ticket and go to this one after work. Hoping for a good one. Quote
Motor City Sonics Posted October 16 Posted October 16 The NFL took that TD off the board because that TD would have cost casinos a fortune. Quote
Jason_R Posted October 18 Posted October 18 Hope he's ready to go, but if there is a chance of him re-aggravating it (and if it is a pec injury I assume there is), I'd probably err on the side of giving him the game off and two more weeks to rest it. Quote

I hope this is true but the MNF formula is never "bitter team destroys the visitor" its usually, "crazy blowout that suddenly shifts in the final quarter to keep the betting public guessing and watching" Quote
Mr.TaterSalad Posted October 19 Posted October 19 Speaking of injuries, what happened to Josh Paschal? I thought it was initially only a 4 week injury. He's still not back and I don't remember Campbell commenting on him at any recent point. Quote
Jason_R Posted October 19 Posted October 19 He had cancer in college. He’s on the non-football injury list. I don’t want to speculate. Quote
