Lions win! Lions win!
September 27th, 2020 at 8:04 PM ^
More 2020 craziness, I suppose.
September 28th, 2020 at 12:37 PM ^
So much for Tanking for Trevor.
September 27th, 2020 at 8:06 PM ^
Already talked myself into 14-2.
September 27th, 2020 at 9:13 PM ^
Man, you’re crazy...
They’ll get at least ONE tie this season.
September 27th, 2020 at 8:14 PM ^
Blind squirrel theory in effect.
September 27th, 2020 at 8:22 PM ^
Their on a roll now!!! The dynasty is on the way!!
September 27th, 2020 at 8:23 PM ^
In a true SOL way. The lions win. We will finish picking 10th in the draft. We need a change. This gm/coach smartest guy in the room mentality will not win. Okudah other than his int has looked pretty lost again
September 28th, 2020 at 2:38 PM ^
Not saying Okudah looked good in general...but I wonder how he would look if there was a preseason/if he had more time with the coaches. The only other memorable positive play from Sunday was when he blew up a bubble screen...which he did well in college...
September 27th, 2020 at 8:31 PM ^
We still tanking for Trevor Lawrence?
I hope not 'cause Trevor could have a really good career and I don't want him to waste it all on the Lions.
September 27th, 2020 at 10:30 PM ^
I've always thought Matt Stafford is an excellent quarterback. His biggest drawback is playing for the career killing Detroit Lions. Put him with a competent organization and he's a perennial playoff contender.
September 28th, 2020 at 7:57 AM ^
The best thing that could happen to Matthew Stafford is for the Lions to draft Trevor Lawrence, and having him dealt to an on-the-cusp franchise where he might get a chance to actually compete for a championship.
This would be a disaster for Trevor Lawrence, but, thems the breaks.
September 28th, 2020 at 2:59 PM ^
No, he'll get some good seasoning here and then 10 years from now we'll pick our next franchise QB and he'll be dealt to a contender. The Lions way.
September 27th, 2020 at 8:34 PM ^
A pick and two TFLs for Okudah today.
September 27th, 2020 at 9:02 PM ^
More zone this week, wonder if it's because of him. He's a big guy, that's not always good for man schemes.
I wonder how much it's hurt him and Swift not having preseason. Both look like real talents, but a very mistake prone, even for rookies.
September 28th, 2020 at 8:00 AM ^
Okudah got no preseason, was banged up, then had to go against Adams and Hopkins. Anyone other than the elite would struggle in those circumstances, let alone a green rookie. He’ll be fine.
September 27th, 2020 at 8:38 PM ^
I was already getting in the let’s get a high draft pick mindset. Fucking Vegas should chart me on this. Lions always win the next game after I’m ready to move on to next year.
September 27th, 2020 at 9:13 PM ^
Same. They'll mess around and end up picking 10th, save Patricia's job, and stay mired in whatever-the-hell clown rodeo they've been in for 5 years.
September 27th, 2020 at 10:04 PM ^
Typo? 55 years.
September 28th, 2020 at 7:42 AM ^
Typo? 63 years.
September 27th, 2020 at 8:46 PM ^
They got a gift from Kyler Murray in this one. 3 interceptions and a terrible decision on his last offensive play when he had a wide open receiver for a first down underneath. Now one of those picks was a fantastic play from Okudah, but besides that they were gifted this win on a platter. I guess we can say the Lions didn't give it right back?
September 27th, 2020 at 8:49 PM ^
We are going to the super bowl!
September 27th, 2020 at 9:01 PM ^
Hmm...Tastes like Jonestown Kool-aid.
September 27th, 2020 at 9:46 PM ^
That's my favorite kind. First you get stoned out of your gourd. Then you have a big orgy. And then you quench that mad thirst. After that everything goes black.
September 27th, 2020 at 9:04 PM ^
Just delaying the start of the Mark Dantonio era. It's inevitable.
September 27th, 2020 at 9:16 PM ^
No way he will work for the NFL, where rules are actually respected.
September 27th, 2020 at 9:47 PM ^
Oh man, that one broke me. The state of Michigan cannot sink any lower. As a guy born in Detroit watching from afar. . . that one hurt.
September 27th, 2020 at 9:09 PM ^
And in doing so likely screwed themselves out of the Trevor Lawrence sweepstakes.
September 27th, 2020 at 10:23 PM ^
There's always Costello from Miss St.
September 27th, 2020 at 11:25 PM ^
Don’t lose hope. There are many games left to lose.
#tankfortrevor
September 27th, 2020 at 9:20 PM ^
I knew it all along. I think I predicted it.
September 27th, 2020 at 9:33 PM ^
Can’t even lose properly...
September 27th, 2020 at 9:44 PM ^
Probably not worthy of a thread, but Ruiz is in at right guard for the saints, and Gary playing for the pack but looks like he’s limping.
September 27th, 2020 at 9:48 PM ^
It's a little known fact that Pete Townshend of The Who (check the username...) was a Detroit Lions fan as a young'un in England. Such was his frustration when Greg Landry and the Lions took a dump and lost to Dallas (5-0) in the 1970 playoffs, he wrote "Won't Get Fooled Again" as a message to the Lion's fanbase. He hasn't rooted for them since, and if asked, he would say, Hell no, I never rooted for that steaming deuce of a franchise. Do not let beating a team with an inexperienced QB go to your heads. Do not throw a lifetime of Sundays in the real BPONE of the Lion's Vortex of Dashed Hopes.
September 27th, 2020 at 10:04 PM ^
Smart man for jumping off the bandwagon in 1970. He saved himself an additional 50 years of torture.
September 27th, 2020 at 10:14 PM ^
There is Fandom in between the madness of expecting the Lions to win the Super Bowl based on one win and refusing to root for a team at all.
They are my team, I'm from Michigan so that's the only team I could root for and watch the NFL. I also fully expect them to go anywhere from 0-16 to 12-4 each year and lose in the most inexplicable way to the Packers in the first round of the playoffs should they make it that far. This is fine.
I also plan to help burn down the whole state of Michigan should the Lions make the Super Bowl. I'm only 52, it's still possible.
September 28th, 2020 at 7:49 AM ^
Well, you're the fan that the Ford family counts on to line their pockets year-in, year-out. Myself, I'm a lifetime Michigan resident who's been Lions-free since I've been old enough to know better. I get all the football I need from watching Michigan play on Saturday.
It's amazing, actually, how little you care about professional football once you stop participating in fantasy leagues.
September 28th, 2020 at 10:14 AM ^
I used to go to one game a year when I lived in Michigan, and I only own a couple pieces of Lions gear at any one time. I watched almost every game when I lived in Michigan, but because the NFL is stupid, you can't when you don't live in the state.
Through the miracle of Internet TV and a stubborn mother, I can again, so I will watch until they are mathematically eliminated from playoff contention like I used to.
If the Fords are making bank off as little as I spend on the Lions, cash and emotionally, more power to them.
September 28th, 2020 at 11:17 AM ^
If the Lions ever win under the ownership of done-nothing, fourth-generation, trust-fund babies of Henry Ford, it will be a complete accident.
September 27th, 2020 at 10:11 PM ^
Too soon
September 27th, 2020 at 10:33 PM ^
Does Patricia weigh 400 pounds ?
September 28th, 2020 at 9:39 AM ^
He's sporting a big gut this season. During the Bears game he looked like a really fat coach with that gut hanging way out.
September 28th, 2020 at 6:42 AM ^
Will the insanity of 2020 never end?!?!?!
September 28th, 2020 at 9:44 AM ^
Oh yeah, at least they will not be 0-16. They will win enough to be out of getting any top talent in the draft. 4-12 or 6-10.
September 28th, 2020 at 9:53 AM ^
LSU looking like it won't finish the season in the top 25
September 28th, 2020 at 10:32 AM ^
To all those who are eager for Quinn to get the boot:
What is it in Sheila Ford Hamp's background and experience that leads you to believe she'll be any better at hiring front office people than her father was?
September 28th, 2020 at 10:38 AM ^
She can't be any worse.
September 28th, 2020 at 10:53 AM ^
Oh, Yeah she can!
