OT - NFL Open Thread (Pryor vs Henne!)

"Red herring" means what you think it means. My understanding is that it means a notable-foreshadowing omen type of thing, not an aberration or an anomaly.

A red herring is a false forshadowing, leading people down the wrong path. So, he's right to use it in that context.

Once Bush went out the offense stunk it up. Only 14 points scored by this offense. The kicking game blew. The defense had way too many penalties even though they played pretty well. If I see Bentley in coverage again my head will asplode.

Once Bush went out it seemed like everybody developed a serious case of stone hands. Twice in the 2nd half Pettigrew drops likely 1st down coversions on 3rd and longs, thus forcing a punt and a short field for the Cardinals. The Lions were behind down and distance the whole game because the defense couldn't get 3 and outs and the offense couldn't get a first down in the 2nd half.

Pettigrew is terrible. On the off chance he's actually able to catch a ball, it's basically 50/50 whether he'll fumble or not.

all have in common?

All three were passed up by the Lions in the first round of the 2009 draft in favor of Brandon Pettigrew.

the Vikings wanted Harvin gone plus he's always hurt. Oher is just an average starting RT who is no better than Reiff, Fox or Hillard. Clay Matthews is a better fit as a 3-4 OLB than at DE.

Bill O'Brien would love this Lions offense and his star will fall if he stays at PSU too long. Just sayin'.

Bill O'Brien will be head coach of the Jets next year. Book it. The NFL and fans would LOVE that instant rivalry with Belechick.

God I hate how Golden Tate says Notre Dame in his player intro. Sounds like such a fucking tool. But would expect less from someone named Golden?

It's the acoustic design. Seattle and Autzen are designed to keep in the sound, Michigan is not, although I have noticed keeping in the sound has been better since the renovations.
