Loins vs. Bears open thread
November 10th, 2019 at 1:02 PM ^
Stafford finally broke his back carrying the team. Get well soon.
November 10th, 2019 at 1:02 PM ^
Do the Lions have any offensive weapons for this game? The cupboard is bare.
November 10th, 2019 at 1:12 PM ^
Golladay and Marvin Jones Jr?
November 10th, 2019 at 1:11 PM ^
Is this the Jeff Driskel "Tom Brady/Drew Bledsoe" moment?!?
November 10th, 2019 at 1:18 PM ^
I wouldn't hold my breath
November 10th, 2019 at 1:26 PM ^
That would be a very Lions thing. Backup comes in and lights it up.
November 10th, 2019 at 1:17 PM ^
Gird your Loins!
November 10th, 2019 at 3:16 PM ^
Or lust for them...
November 10th, 2019 at 1:17 PM ^
Don’t worry ... bears fan here and I am here to tell you we suck.
November 10th, 2019 at 1:44 PM ^
But the Lions are the suckiest sucks that ever sucked.
November 10th, 2019 at 1:49 PM ^
Those can be good qualities in the right circumstance
November 10th, 2019 at 3:54 PM ^
Bears fan too, we are el terrib-léy
November 10th, 2019 at 1:35 PM ^
So far so good!
November 10th, 2019 at 1:47 PM ^
We're gonna win today damnit
November 10th, 2019 at 5:16 PM ^
Narrator: they, in fact, did not win today.
November 10th, 2019 at 1:49 PM ^
This game feels like what it would be like to watch Northwestern play Rutgers. Maybe Maryland.
November 10th, 2019 at 1:51 PM ^
Loins are missing Jake right now!
November 10th, 2019 at 2:05 PM ^
Driskel looks good actually.
November 10th, 2019 at 2:23 PM ^
He does but I liked JR alot. ?
November 10th, 2019 at 1:51 PM ^
i had no clue who jeff driskel was, but wikipedia can be your friend. played at florida, was a starter, got hurt, transferred to La-tech and threw for >4K yds and 27 TDs in one season. who knew?
they list him at 6'4", 233, with a 4.56 40 - that'd be a pretty darn fast 40,especially for a guy that tall.

November 10th, 2019 at 1:57 PM ^
He was a 5* Dual Threat guy coming out of HS, so maybe there's something to work with.....
November 10th, 2019 at 2:08 PM ^
not enough stars....
he is actually doing a credible job.
that said, i wish the lions had kept jake ruddock.
November 10th, 2019 at 2:45 PM ^
Obligatory
rudddddddock.
November 10th, 2019 at 2:06 PM ^
Indeed. The Bengals were trying to turn him into another Taysom Hill.
November 10th, 2019 at 1:52 PM ^
Who the fuck is Paul Perkins?
November 10th, 2019 at 1:55 PM ^
Obvious facemask stoopid ref right there no call
November 10th, 2019 at 1:58 PM ^
This game is unwatchable.
Garbage inch-by-inch play calling with penalties or drops or injuries every play....
Going to any other game now....
November 10th, 2019 at 2:07 PM ^
It's kind of enjoyable in an old Norris Division sort of way.
November 10th, 2019 at 2:40 PM ^
Russians are masochists
November 10th, 2019 at 2:11 PM ^
maybe time to get into the kahluha and tomato juice?
November 10th, 2019 at 3:06 PM ^
Need something stronger to strangle up my mind while watching this game, maybe it's time to mix some Texas medicine with some railroad gin
November 10th, 2019 at 10:45 PM ^
Bob Dylan approves
November 10th, 2019 at 3:08 PM ^
On 2nd thought, need something stronger.
November 10th, 2019 at 6:07 PM ^
XM—
I did that Kahlua/Tomato Juice ritual early (shaken not stirred).....traded Tito’s for kahlua and watched four episodes of the fabulous new WW2 special on Netflix.
When I ran out of tomato juice I switched to Cranberry Lime Seltzer mix and watched the Weather Channel for 2 hours and found it interesting that once—at the exact same time— it was rainy and 47 degrees in both Dublin Ireland and Dublin Ohio!
I’m out of Tito’s now—so I will switch to some NC Moonshine I’ve been saving— and fix myself a couple hot water sandwiches and rearrange my underwear drawer and then play the kazoo until the Vikes and Cowies kick and my chilling beers are cold enough.....
Go Blue!!!...
November 10th, 2019 at 2:09 PM ^
Prater crushed that one.
November 10th, 2019 at 2:11 PM ^
well if there is one thing the lions have done well the last 25 yrs, its picking kickers. prater just sent a 54 yd field goal right down the middle of the uprights and it actually hit the netting on the edge of the field - that kick would've been good from 64 or more yds. dude has a jackhammer for a leg.
November 10th, 2019 at 2:39 PM ^
Kicker was excluded from that curse
November 10th, 2019 at 2:22 PM ^
No pass rush in this final drive before the half...
November 10th, 2019 at 2:25 PM ^
Most Lions way to finish the half. Keep them to under 25 yards offense through almost 2 quarters and let them drive the length of the field in 2 minutes for a touchdown
November 10th, 2019 at 2:45 PM ^
Someone gird those loins up ffs
November 10th, 2019 at 2:53 PM ^
Disaster
November 10th, 2019 at 2:56 PM ^
Can smell the stink on those loins all the way in Detroit
November 10th, 2019 at 2:58 PM ^
Patricia is clueless. Should be fired after this year. His D sucks and the D he left (Pats) is better without him. Move on. Need to figure it out over next 3-4 years while you still have Stafford.
November 10th, 2019 at 4:10 PM ^
Should’ve never fired Wayne.
November 10th, 2019 at 5:37 PM ^
You could always count on that Thanksgiving/December run with Wayne!
November 10th, 2019 at 6:22 PM ^
The Big Buck rides again!
November 10th, 2019 at 5:49 PM ^
Kind of tough to rehire him now a days though.
November 10th, 2019 at 3:25 PM ^
It is fitting that we are watching this game on the 34th anniversary of the loss of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
November 10th, 2019 at 3:49 PM ^
They've got a shot here!
