NFL Sunday open thread, for your Loins or whatever...
December 15th, 2019 at 1:01 PM ^
Shanks for the Loins forum.
December 15th, 2019 at 3:38 PM ^
The L's takes fewer letters to type
December 15th, 2019 at 1:04 PM ^
Hopefully the Fords sell the Loins in the off-season.

Oh, and this is gold too...
December 15th, 2019 at 1:23 PM ^
Isn't the person filming the Patriots filming the Bengals also filming the Bengals?
This is so dumb because every person in the stadium can do the same thing.
December 15th, 2019 at 1:27 PM ^
This is how the Pats avoid first round picks, just have the NFL take them away. Obviously no one they want in the first round.
Lions should try it, as they’ll just fuck it up anyway.
December 15th, 2019 at 2:00 PM ^
Except that’s how the Pats got caught the 1st time. This time around they’re in the press box LOL.
I’m not a Pats hater by any means and actually respect Belichick tremendously as a coach and think he gets a bad rep from his press conference demeanor. In reality dude is really chill.
But this looks pretty suspect man.
December 15th, 2019 at 2:03 PM ^
How does Jimmy Johnson still have great hair?
December 15th, 2019 at 2:52 PM ^
It's a wig.
December 15th, 2019 at 1:38 PM ^
Pats really got caught red handed this time lol.
Jay Glazer dropping bombs

Urban at the Skins or Cowboys. As an Eagles fan this scares me.
December 15th, 2019 at 1:58 PM ^
Why? He’s proven nothing at the professional level, and his recruiting acumen doesn’t mean shit in the league. He has to actually coach, which he can do, but coaching college kids and full time multi-millionaire professionals are two very different things.
My point is that a lot of the advantages he enjoyed in college are going to go bye bye if he goes to the league. Maybe he flourishes and becomes a big coaching star in the league. I’d say it’s more likely though that he’d tank. Very few college coaches successfully transition to the league.
December 15th, 2019 at 2:09 PM ^
I wouldn't bet against Urban in the NFL. He's smart enough to know what he doesn't know, and he's a master motivator.
December 15th, 2019 at 2:09 PM ^
He seems like one of the few guys who are smart enough to adapt their approach. His Xs and Os acumen is obviously through the roof regardless of level of football.
Both teams have former Buckeyes who are de facto leaders/playmakers on their respective teams so the transition would be much easier for him relatively.
The owners/GMs are probably his biggest stumbling block like with Harbaugh at the Niners.
December 15th, 2019 at 10:55 PM ^
There's no recruiting in the pros, it's not the same path to getting a roster loaded with talent.
December 15th, 2019 at 3:41 PM ^
Dan Snyder is about the only one I can think of that is sure to cause Urban to lose.
December 15th, 2019 at 1:49 PM ^
TB is only a couple of TD passes from taking the #1 all time from Peyton Manning. Drew Brees is nipping at his heels. Brady is off again today, throwing high. His arm strength is not a question, but his accuracy is. He is said to have an elbow injury and perhaps he is compensating for that with his throwing motion.
December 15th, 2019 at 1:51 PM ^
OK, I am out of town and the Lions are not on TV here. So, I check the 1Q stats and the Bucs have 220-some yds in passing, 2 TD's and the Lions have +1 yd net offense. That's my Lions!
December 15th, 2019 at 1:53 PM ^
Geez. Lions had 1 yard of offense at the beginning of the second quarter.
December 15th, 2019 at 2:22 PM ^
Those are called I-75 eyes.
December 15th, 2019 at 2:07 PM ^
Rashan Gary with the sack of Trubisky
December 15th, 2019 at 2:10 PM ^
Perhaps the best way to beat the buckeyes is to have the Lions draft their best player every year. Eventually top talent will look elsewhere.
December 15th, 2019 at 2:10 PM ^
question re: NFL players and 2nd stringers.
it seems like there are many times when you see a good time to put in a back up, just like in college. maybe the game is out of hand, maybe you just want to keep a guy fresh and get him some reps, whatever. that said, it literally never happens. it occurs to me there must be some type of official NFL policy that you have to publish your line-ups and the 1st stingers have to play unless hurt. does anyone know if that is right?
and yeah, the lions are so bad. i predicted 3-13 this year during preseason. they can't even do that right, as they are going to go 3-12-1. so bad. so lions.
December 15th, 2019 at 6:20 PM ^
NFL games are usually closer than college, which probably keeps the backup out of the game. If you look at this week's games, there weren't a lot of blowouts.
One of the games which was a blowout was the Ravens over the Jets; Robert Griffin did get in for at least one series.
December 15th, 2019 at 2:40 PM ^
I’m going to paint a red racing stripe on the Lions logo on my T-shirt and hope that people buy that I am a Bills fan.
December 15th, 2019 at 2:54 PM ^
#BillsMafia
December 15th, 2019 at 2:56 PM ^
Pats suck, Lions suck.
I think I may adopt another team besides the Lions soon.
December 15th, 2019 at 3:00 PM ^
Watching GB vs Bears at Lambeau. It seems like Pam Oliver is either drunk or her face is frozen.
December 15th, 2019 at 3:07 PM ^
Can't it be both?
December 15th, 2019 at 4:28 PM ^
Something is definitely going on with her, because she's been like that earlier this year too.
December 15th, 2019 at 3:03 PM ^
Announcers have a tall order in selling lions v bucs, but painting TB in such a positive light and ignoring the reality of a historically awful lions defense coupled with a third string QB and RB is kind of annoying.
December 15th, 2019 at 3:10 PM ^
I gave up on the Lions years ago. Trash organization.
I actually thought Patricia might be a decent hire, but he is terrible.
December 15th, 2019 at 3:17 PM ^
does this mean Patricia won’t get his first preseason win today?
December 15th, 2019 at 3:53 PM ^
Well, Purdue-era David Blough is back....
Pick Six and the ensuing PAT put Tampa Bay up 31-17.
December 15th, 2019 at 3:55 PM ^
Backward down the field...
December 15th, 2019 at 4:05 PM ^
Fuck this franchise.
December 15th, 2019 at 4:05 PM ^
Announcer accidently just said "hairy male play" while trying to say hail mary.
December 15th, 2019 at 4:14 PM ^
Better hope one of DPJ or Nico return or our offense is going to look like the Eagles’ with all the new pieces. Yeesh talk about limping through Ws.
Next week decides the division let’s go birds!
December 15th, 2019 at 6:51 PM ^
The Eagles were in perfect position to hand the Redskins a win.
Now the loser of the Redskins/Giants game next week will have to win the following against the Cowboys/Eagles to give their spot to the L's.
December 15th, 2019 at 4:25 PM ^
Judgment Sunday next week for the L's
- Giants @ Redskins
- Bengals @ Dolphins
December 15th, 2019 at 4:30 PM ^
And they'll have Stafford and Kerryon both play against Denver.
December 15th, 2019 at 4:31 PM ^
Wow, Bears TE pulled a Tyler Ecker (not pitching the ball to Breaston) and didn't pitch the ball on the final broken play.
What's with TE's not pitching the ball to open WR's and instead trying to bull rush 3 defenders from the 10 yard line on desperation last plays?
December 15th, 2019 at 5:19 PM ^
Logged on to post this. Except that wasn't a broken play. It went exactly the way it was intended... other than failing to "pitch it to Breaston."
December 15th, 2019 at 4:32 PM ^
Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she plays like a woman but talks like a man
Oh my Lions, L-L-L-L Lions, L-L-L-L Lions
December 15th, 2019 at 4:39 PM ^
He's there to watch Haskins
December 15th, 2019 at 6:38 PM ^
I feel bad for the Browns that they had such immense hype coming into the season only to fall apart. Last year's ending run was always a bit of a mirage, but I figured they'd be better than they've looked.
At the same time, Mayfield seems like an asshole and all his shit talking to start the year not really panning out is refreshing in the "karma still works sometimes" way.
December 15th, 2019 at 7:15 PM ^
The fact that there are still Lions fans in the seats at the games is a mystery to me. Who on earth pays money to see that?
They are enabling this shit franchise to continue in its destructive ways.
December 15th, 2019 at 11:04 PM ^
Lions should sign Kapernick immediately and not worry about who it offends. Do they want to win any games? Stafford is getting older, and has back issues, for every Brady there are dozens of pro QBs that retire. Also, they should draft the DE Buckeye, a position of need, not that they don't have all sorts of postions of need... but holy crap, and... bring back Caldwell.
