Probably a good thing this isn't a road game... Cuz you know that old saying about Vegas...

Seriously, do you know? I've forgotten.

Some extra time until kickoff, so more opportunity to get into trouble. Make sure you take full advantage!

Go Blue!

I was pleased with how the defense looked, but I noticed that the Chiefs' tackle was moving before the snap.  I thought maybe I was missing something, but then this article came out:

You know you are doing something right if your opponent has to cheat to get a step on you.

Nothing will EVER be as bad as OSU 16, but you are correct.  That RT went all Sparty mode:

1) False Start on EVERY passing down - It was so bad that Trico and Collingsworth were laughing about it in the broadcast that he was getting away with is

2) Lining up off the LOS - It was so bad that even the NBC TV Ref (a former NFL ref) called out his own people for letting him get away with being so far in the backfield.  In most cases he was at least 1.5 yards off the LOS and his right foot cocked back another yard.  Thus eliminating any potential for a speed rush...

3) The holding - Arm bars, bear hugs, grabbing the jersey and ripping down.  That Back Judge should be ashamed for allowing all that crap to go on all game long.  And I don't want to hear the old saying that everyone holds on every play.  These "penalties" were out in the open for everyone to see...

There are only three reasonable explanations for the non-calls:

1) The game officials are grossly ignorant about the rules they're supposed to enforce

2) The game officials have significant vision impairments

3) The game officials were intentionally letting things go out of deference to KC

Regardless of which explanation is correct, they should all lose their NFL officiating jobs.

Hutchinson saved the Michigan program almost single handedly, now he is doing the same for the Lions.  It’s a team game, no doubt, but that guy just has a drive and a confidence that can’t be stopped.
