Saturday Night Lions, CFB, and BBQ Thread
Mates,
A rare Saturday night Lions game. They are home, favored by 5 pts over a 7-6 Denver team. Lions have been very weak of late, but could probably sew up the Norris Division with a win, especially since Minny lost in OT today.
You also have some CFB on, UCLA v. Boise might be interesting. I missed the South Dakota SU v. Montana game but sounds like it was an OT dandy.
What's on your BBQ and/or plate, and what pray tell is in your cup?
Hope you are well and looking forward to the holidays.
Go Blue, beat bama!

Go LIedOwNS!!
December 16th, 2023 at 8:05 PM ^
yeah, unfortunately they have really regressed lately. last week vs. the bears it was the offense that stunk up the joint with 13 points and a bunch of turnovers. maybe their early season success has been figured out by the other teams. sure seems like it.
December 16th, 2023 at 8:14 PM ^
Injuries to the oline and poor QB play has really hurt the lions. Hopefully they can get healthy and Goff will not be a turnover machine. Just need to win two of the next four to clinch the division.

Bengals did the Lions a big favor today. I’m hoping Detroit wins tonight and wins at least one of 2 against Minnesota. That should do it.
December 16th, 2023 at 10:00 PM ^
More like Li-offs, amirite

Had to turn the football off after the eleventeenth fumble in that App St/Miami (NTM) game..
Odell IPA, take-out Thai, and then wifey and I will be watching the new Reacher episodes that dropped last night.
You left out what's on your plate/in your cup tonight

Say what? He literally wrote:

Edit: You were asking what’s in HIS cup/plate!
December 16th, 2023 at 8:30 PM ^
Thanks for the heads up on Reacher. Didn’t know it was out.
December 16th, 2023 at 8:45 PM ^
venison burgers about to come off the grill. coffee cup near me. might've had a splash of red pop in it.
December 16th, 2023 at 8:12 PM ^
I wouldn’t put any money on the Lions
December 16th, 2023 at 8:15 PM ^
Oh hell no!!!
December 16th, 2023 at 8:23 PM ^
That first offensive series was a dud. Curious why they didn’t even attempt to run the ball.
December 16th, 2023 at 9:10 PM ^
New attitude?
December 16th, 2023 at 8:22 PM ^
Russel Wilson is about to carve up this defense
December 16th, 2023 at 8:22 PM ^
Goff is not good again today. Missed Montgomery mismatched on a LB for a first down. Ugh.
December 16th, 2023 at 8:24 PM ^
Welp, their offense just failed. I'm not sure their D can stop Denver!
December 16th, 2023 at 8:24 PM ^
Another week, another awful defensive performance. Glenn needs to be gone.

Watching the Red Wings eating DiGiorno Detroit style crust pizza and drinking Vernors Black Cherry
December 16th, 2023 at 8:30 PM ^
i only remember the original vernors, fondly, i would add. if i ever see black cherry i will have to try it.
December 16th, 2023 at 8:32 PM ^
The Motor City trifecta 🙂
December 16th, 2023 at 8:34 PM ^
The Wings are doing that?
December 16th, 2023 at 8:50 PM ^
All part of the Yzerplan
December 16th, 2023 at 8:26 PM ^
Needed that. Luckily Russ is still Russ. Now the offense needs to score.
December 16th, 2023 at 8:26 PM ^
Man, if Hutch is the one in position to pick that up, it’s a Td
December 16th, 2023 at 8:28 PM ^
Goff is absolutely terrible. How do you just swallow a sack there? Now they’re not in field goal range!
Edit: And on the 3rd down on the first drive of the game, St. Brown was wide open on the crossing route right in front of Goff and Goff somehow didn’t see him.
December 16th, 2023 at 8:31 PM ^
The TE was wide open for a TD!
December 16th, 2023 at 8:36 PM ^
Put the retiring Bridgewater in to spice up the qb play...
December 16th, 2023 at 8:28 PM ^
Jesus, Goff…take that sack and now it’s a punt. WTF?!
December 16th, 2023 at 8:29 PM ^
Go (Honolulu) Blue!
Grilled cheese, onions, turkey, pickles, spinach on Zingerman’s Farm bread. Fizzy water.
(lunch at Crisler between games = uugh)

As the season goes along, Goff is losing confidence and playing poorly.
December 16th, 2023 at 8:31 PM ^
And on Goff first series he missed a wide open guy crossing over the middle uncovered.
December 16th, 2023 at 8:32 PM ^
Watching 30 Coins on HBO. Probably the most frightening TV show I have ever seen.
December 16th, 2023 at 8:41 PM ^
I added it to my list the other day.
December 16th, 2023 at 8:53 PM ^
Watch it in Spanish with the English subtitles. The dubbing kind of sucks.
December 16th, 2023 at 8:32 PM ^
terrible, turnstyle O-line play on that last one. at least 3 pts turns into a stupid 19 yd net punt. boooooo!
December 16th, 2023 at 8:33 PM ^
Denver is giving up 5+ per carry. 8 plays run so far. A whopping one run.
This is why Lions fans drink and fight at Ford Field.
December 16th, 2023 at 8:36 PM ^
Lions coaches showing you why they are the smartest people in the room
December 16th, 2023 at 8:41 PM ^
Popeye's spicy chicken sandwich (my guilty pleasure) and champagne. Interesting combo, but surprisingly it works!
Took under 9.5 1st quarter of the Lions.
Saturdays are not the same absent Michigan football. Go Blue!
Enjoy the weekend everyone!
December 16th, 2023 at 8:41 PM ^
3 punts from the 50 for the lions. no bueno.
December 16th, 2023 at 8:46 PM ^
Ford Field sounds deafening
December 16th, 2023 at 8:47 PM ^
Lions WR lined up offside identical to the KC WR (Toney) last week. Fortunately no call on us
December 16th, 2023 at 8:47 PM ^
OmG... a RT moves 3 beats early in Aidan and they actually call it???
December 16th, 2023 at 8:48 PM ^
Hutch held every play
December 16th, 2023 at 8:47 PM ^
Lions WR lined up offside identical to the KC WR (Toney) last week. Fortunately no call on us

9 days for Wilson to throw. 20+ yard gain.
In other news, water is wet.
December 16th, 2023 at 8:50 PM ^
On Denver’s punt they had a guy clearly lined up offsides. No call. Same shitty refs
December 16th, 2023 at 8:51 PM ^
Secondary is getting beat regularly. I don’t know why Denver isn’t throwing deep more.
Oh, and Goff is scared and has lost all confidence. In other words, he’s a pussy.
damn I hope things change
December 16th, 2023 at 8:52 PM ^
a rare/medium rare venison burger is really a joy.
December 16th, 2023 at 8:53 PM ^
Smash mouth run the ball down your throat with play action thrown in should be the Lions offense
