OT - NFL Open Thread
Most of us will be watching the Lions play the Vikings. The Lions are driving. Bush is looking good so far. It should be interesting to see how he works in this offense. Predictions for Detroit this year?
I say 8-8.
EDIT: Classic Lions. Ruined that first drive.

You're f%$king kidding me Detroit
September 8th, 2013 at 1:11 PM ^
My thought process from the last 45 seconds: Wow! The Lions are going to win the Super Bowl!.. I hope the Lions take Taylor Lewan with the 1st pick.
September 8th, 2013 at 1:11 PM ^
Goddamit, Lions.
September 8th, 2013 at 1:12 PM ^
How do the lions manage to crush your dreams like this every single year?
September 8th, 2013 at 1:13 PM ^
September 8th, 2013 at 1:21 PM ^
September 8th, 2013 at 1:15 PM ^
This game started much like the Atlanta game did when the Lions went 0-16. Should be a great year :(
September 8th, 2013 at 1:15 PM ^
This is the beginning of the end of the Schwartz. How the hell you cannot figure out to stop AD after 8 years I don't know.
September 8th, 2013 at 1:20 PM ^
As opposed to the rest of the NFL that has solved how to stop AP? Lions got worse problems than Peterson.
September 8th, 2013 at 1:18 PM ^
Likelihood people will remember Adrian Peterson as a greater RB than Barry Sanders? I will guess 55%.
September 8th, 2013 at 1:21 PM ^
We have hope
September 8th, 2013 at 1:21 PM ^
I know this isn't exactly news, but Calvin Johnson and Adrian Peterson might be the two most physically gifted players at their respective positions in the history of the league.
September 8th, 2013 at 1:23 PM ^
And our hope is crushed...
September 8th, 2013 at 1:24 PM ^
This call is such a joke, if it looks like a catch, and smells like a catch, it's a catch.
September 8th, 2013 at 1:25 PM ^
Due to "The Process", this reception by Johnson may be overturned. Then again, The Process also requires that you count backwards from 100 in Sumerian as well as maintain possession of the ball.
...and it is. 2nd and 10 at the 20 yard line.
September 8th, 2013 at 1:26 PM ^
That is literally the worst call ive ever seen. He caught the ball and then extended it. I dont care if it came out later. Interesting that its supposed to be a touchdown the minute the ball touches the white line of the endzone..but the only place on the field the ground is able to cause a fumble/loss of possession is in the end zone.
September 8th, 2013 at 1:29 PM ^
of the NFL's product.
September 8th, 2013 at 1:30 PM ^
Calvin didn't even need to reach for the goaline either...he of all people should know the rule by now.
September 8th, 2013 at 1:43 PM ^
September 8th, 2013 at 1:30 PM ^
I hate the NFL rules for what is and is not a catch, they need a serious common sense revision.
September 8th, 2013 at 1:35 PM ^
They've missed opportunities early(and F the "process.) but this offense is exciting and Reggie Bush is awesome.
September 8th, 2013 at 1:43 PM ^
...with a leaping TD catch.
September 8th, 2013 at 1:48 PM ^
September 8th, 2013 at 1:43 PM ^
Junior Hemingway with a TD for KC. Waiting for Denard to have a play called for him.
September 8th, 2013 at 1:45 PM ^
Junior Hemingway!!!
September 8th, 2013 at 1:46 PM ^
September 8th, 2013 at 1:54 PM ^
The Rams once had three safeties in a single game, themselves.
September 8th, 2013 at 1:48 PM ^
Interception!
September 8th, 2013 at 1:49 PM ^
And intercepted again
September 8th, 2013 at 1:50 PM ^
Why do the Lions have to be so frustrating to watch?
September 8th, 2013 at 1:52 PM ^
September 8th, 2013 at 1:53 PM ^
September 8th, 2013 at 1:54 PM ^
Typical Lions. This is why I hate them so much, though I would love to love them. Schwartz is a total ass clown of a HC.
September 8th, 2013 at 1:56 PM ^
I know that's stating the obvious. But this coaching is truly terrible. This team makes the same mistakes they did three years ago. No growth whatsoever as a team.
Good thing is that 4 months fro now we will see a different coach on the sidelines.
September 8th, 2013 at 1:57 PM ^
That last throw was horrible. Stafford would be better off throwing towards a covered Calvin.
September 8th, 2013 at 1:58 PM ^
I'm done with the Lions. Watching them is masochistic at this point. Let's go Pats and Jags. Brady, Denard and Henne were my favorite Wolverines.
September 8th, 2013 at 2:03 PM ^
Alas, he is playing the Lions so he is getting away with it.
September 8th, 2013 at 2:15 PM ^
I'm glad I don't get too emotionally invested in the lions
September 8th, 2013 at 2:17 PM ^
Mother of god...
September 8th, 2013 at 2:17 PM ^
No one fumbles more than Pettigrew
September 8th, 2013 at 2:17 PM ^
Funchess is the only TE you should throw a screen to.
September 8th, 2013 at 2:18 PM ^
because of stupid Lions mistakes. Ugh. This franchise sucks.
September 8th, 2013 at 2:22 PM ^
September 8th, 2013 at 2:19 PM ^
Wow what a comedy of Errors. Thanks WCF and your buffon clan for almost 60 years of shitty football.
September 8th, 2013 at 2:19 PM ^
Never has so much talent sucked so much. Not that Detroit has all the talent, but damn it, they've got enough and they just suck.
September 8th, 2013 at 2:20 PM ^
September 8th, 2013 at 2:20 PM ^
Watch sidearm Stafford give it right back
September 8th, 2013 at 2:21 PM ^
Just fire Schwartz now. He is the Kiffen of the NFL.
