To me, the most Lions loss has to be one where they roped you back in before ripping your heart out again. Last night is probably it.
But before then: Lions complete furious comeback to tie the game against Minnesota - except long snapper Don Muhlbach rolls the snap back on the PAT, kicker never gets it off, game over.
Re the TV coverage, it was even worse. In the replay, Millen said something like, "When you're a returner, you have to run with your eyes. You know where it's supposed to go, but this is where it opens."
So not only did he not give us the analysis of the play, he missed it entirely and suggested that Chesson only took it left because it was bottled up ahead.
I noted this in the coaching snowflakes, but Chesson said on the radio postgame that they'd seen on film that NW didn't protect the weakside well on kickoffs. As you well described, this is a return play to take advantage of exactly that. RPS +3.
On the radio post game, Chesson said they'd seen on film that NW didn't protect the weak side on kickoffs. Watch his TD again - the blocking is set up right from the beginning to feint forward then head weak side. Baxter RPS +3.
I should say, my season ticket says $75. Mgoblue is selling them for $70 - $95, depending on location - see here. Can even get them as low as $55, if you buy 50 or more tickets.
The "period in question" regarding the NW union decision is after 2013, so Noel Canning doesn't have any effect on NW. I think we're saying the same thing.
If you're buying fast food, Starbucks, etc, order it to go - sales tax is charged on dine-in orders but not to-go orders (even if you turn around and eat in anyway). Save yourself a few cents, and give a little less to the state university.
It looks like he hesitates between helping on Hageman and blocking the DE.
And then, as the play develops, the DE doesn't crash on the RB. At the mesh point, he's got his shoulders square and is keeping contain on Gardner for the bootleg - which, as we've seen over and over again, is both (1) a good idea, given M's penchant for bootleg and waggle; and (2) more or less standard defense at this point.
Why not have Williams help on Hageman and leave the DE, unless and until the DE starts crashing? At that point, M can either tell Williams to block the DE, or crack open the bootleg/waggle chapter of the playbook.
Met Kolesar a couple years ago at an event in Cleveland. He was very gracious, even as I tried my best to reenact the Chris Farley Show sketch. ("uh, you remember, um, that touchdown against ohio state? Remember that? That was awesome.")
We know game results are highly dependent on turnovers, which might suggest that some teams "play better" than their opponent but are forced into overtime because of turnovers. I would guess that overtime performance is negatively correlated with turnover margin during the regulation portion of the game.

It’s the best job I’ve had. It’s just wearing on me - stress + little I can do about most of what comes in the door.
Has travel and home succeeded in the itch-scratching?

Kudos to you - life’s too short.

Thought Bryan would run away with it this week, until I got to: “We’ll be taking the fifth, just like Mark Dantonio at his offseason depo.”

The senate confirmed all five NLRB nominees in 2013: http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/senate/314503-senate-votes-to-confirm-all-five-nlrb-members Everything that happened after then is unaffected by Noel Canning.

Row 71. And the rows are consistent all the way around the stadium.

Our backup DBs couldn't defend, and that's on the coaches?
"Come on, coach, you should have known that if you went for it, we'd get it on a questionable spot and then turn it over?"
not that we deserve it, but i think that's the rule
right?
Everyone knows Mike Stoops left the cupboard bare . . .
Outstanding.
