OT: Lions v. Chiefs/Generic NFL Open Thread
Let's grab another W and keep this thing rolling. Go Lions
[ED:BISB; Per request, and to consolidate OT stuff, this thread is now open for NFL fans of all stripes. Though why you would want to watch anyone but the Lions is beyond me]

Charlie Batch in.
<br>
<br>(We really needed an NFL thread).
September 18th, 2011 at 2:16 PM ^
Holy crap. Matt Stafford is a freaking cycborg.
September 18th, 2011 at 2:36 PM ^
From the people that brought you RoboHenne
September 18th, 2011 at 2:22 PM ^
I love you
September 18th, 2011 at 2:27 PM ^
Enough talking about fucking windows!
September 18th, 2011 at 2:30 PM ^
Do NFL refs usually explain after every play why it was NOT a penalty, or is it just easier to clarify after all the "gifts" KC has been giving up?
September 18th, 2011 at 2:35 PM ^
I have no idea. They have been explaining everything. They even mentioned that following a missed field goal "according to rule, the ball will be placed at the line of scrimmage." Detroiters aren't that stupid.
September 18th, 2011 at 2:30 PM ^
These announcers are some of the worst I have ever heard. I never want them to call another game. I mean, a five minute discussion on residential windows, portholes, and window panes?
September 18th, 2011 at 2:33 PM ^
lmao we definitely got the scrub squad for this. I blame it on the chiefs.
September 18th, 2011 at 2:40 PM ^
In fairness, Don Criqui has been dealin' with some shit recently:
September 18th, 2011 at 4:24 PM ^
... is amazing. Poor fella, just look how he tries to continue building & re-building a tiny world of comforting disillusionment to hide in as reality keeps relentlessly unfolding before his disbelieving eyes. It's like a child trying to bail out a sinking ship with a teacup. Just ... sad.
September 18th, 2011 at 2:54 PM ^
He used to be good--in the 1980's! I did not know he was still alive.
September 18th, 2011 at 2:32 PM ^
You're gonna try to ice Jason Hanson on a 28-yard field goal?
Yeah. Good luck with that.
September 18th, 2011 at 2:49 PM ^
I always thought he would be a good pro. Good route runner, good hands, plus GRITMOXIE
September 18th, 2011 at 2:50 PM ^
But all I have seen is two INTs'. I don't think a missed field goal qualifies as a turnover.
September 18th, 2011 at 2:53 PM ^
The Chiefs picked Stafford and fumbled like 2 seconds later.
As a fantasy owner of the Lions D, I say that counts as a turnover.
September 18th, 2011 at 2:54 PM ^
I think they are counting the fumble on that interception in the first quarter.
September 18th, 2011 at 2:53 PM ^
Lions aren't even playing that well. Poor KC, they have good fans.
September 18th, 2011 at 3:03 PM ^
I love how Charles Woodson picked Cam Newton and now has a fumble recovery. Go Blue!
September 18th, 2011 at 3:23 PM ^
More like mauled. But yes, they look very bad.
September 18th, 2011 at 3:23 PM ^
Please, please, please, please, please, please, please take Stafford, Johnson and Best out of the game.
September 18th, 2011 at 3:34 PM ^
September 18th, 2011 at 3:39 PM ^
Considering you were railing on the D earlier in this very thread...
September 18th, 2011 at 4:02 PM ^
as saying that it needs great room for improvement. The Lions were playing poorly in the first quarter. Fortunately, they tightened up their run defense. Losing Charles helped a bit.
September 18th, 2011 at 3:36 PM ^
Browns up 17-12, 9:40 Q4. When will they crush my spirit today? Can this be real?
September 18th, 2011 at 3:38 PM ^
they are playing a Manning-less Colts team. Did you see the Colts without Manning last week?
September 18th, 2011 at 3:43 PM ^
I'm looking forward to seeing more of this sexy Browns 4-3 D. 3-4? What kind of nonsense is that?
September 18th, 2011 at 3:43 PM ^
ESPN Fantasy out for anyone else right now? I keep getting error messages whenever I try to look at the page...
September 18th, 2011 at 3:51 PM ^
The Lions broke the system.
September 18th, 2011 at 6:20 PM ^
The whole site has something wrong. Espn I meant.
September 18th, 2011 at 3:43 PM ^
OMG GAIZ THE LIONS SUCKKKK
September 18th, 2011 at 3:45 PM ^
Turnovers make everything a moo point.....
September 18th, 2011 at 3:46 PM ^
Give it to Hillis on 3rd and 7! MANBAWWWWWW FOOTBAW
September 18th, 2011 at 3:54 PM ^
Tyler Palko time.
September 18th, 2011 at 4:03 PM ^
intercepted a Cam Newton pass! What a great player.
September 18th, 2011 at 4:06 PM ^
September 18th, 2011 at 4:10 PM ^
The Bears O-line is beyond pathetic.
September 18th, 2011 at 4:18 PM ^
The Raiders look like their puppy just died.
September 18th, 2011 at 4:19 PM ^
I'm going to go ahead and venture to say that Todd Haley will be the first head coach fired this season.
September 18th, 2011 at 4:51 PM ^
He did make the playoffs last year, to be fair. That and their ridiculous injury situation should buy him time. But I think this team might totally give up on him and when that happens you have to fire the coach.
