OT: Lions/NFL Open Thread

Submitted by redwhiteandMGOBLUE on

Open game day thread for Lions/Packers.

as usual, the Lions start the game with a penalty - holding on the opening kickoff and then proceed to go three and out... Go Lions...

[FA Edit: As per usual, ALL NFL talk goes here. Also, remember, sport tags when creating threads: this is NOT football. Please file pro sports under "other."]

I know it's OT but the redskins just scored on a fifth down scenario. First down pass for 9 set them up with a 2nd&1. Then an incomplete pass on second. Then a run on third down for -4 puts them at 4th&4. Then another incomplete pass. But the down marker hadn't been reset and no one caught it and they got a fifth down. No one caught it. Not opposing coaches, not the announcers, etc. I've rewound it five times to make sure I didn't miss something. The yahoo play by play agrees with me. Someone is getting fired. To make it fair, the skins then missed the game tying xp and lost anyway. Weird.

honestly i cant think of 1 spartan player thats panned out in the nfl unless you count the wr in jail, and peterson to me makes to many retarted penalties in crunch time. the same goes for osu players i dont remember 1 being a (great nfl player in the last 10 years) unless malcom jenkins stayson his pace they all under preform, now michigan has the raining defensive player, prob the mvp this year, and not to mention probowler's everywhere

Why do you even watch sports?  Isn't the reason we watch to feel good when our team wins?  Sure they still suck, we all know that.  But my god man, the Lions just beat the Packers with Drew Stanton at qb, Maurice Morris at running back, and I think a hot dog vendor at cornerback.. 

You really aren't capable of enjoying this win for 5 minutes??

doesn't show it but the Lions do not suck this season.  They have been really good, just unlucky.

 

They are heading to the right direction.  The DL is becoming elite and they have improved the roster from the top to the bottom.  Next year, the Lions should be knocking the door to make the playoff.

Yeah, like that guy.  How funny is it to watch Packers fans blame the loss on not having Rodgers?  Have they seen who we have trying to get the ball to the receivers?

I'll give it to the one guy who blamed the Pack O-line, though.  Shit, their O-line got fucking owned today.

Bottom line they won so you can't say they played a game they had no business winning. The organization is bouncing back slowly by slowly if there quarterback can stay healthy and they don't blow there pick for patrick peterson they should be good next year.

Your 100% correct if rich rod deserves time so does Schwartz, Rich Rod for damn sakes went 2-6 1-7 3-5 in the big ten there is no reason to have those records, especially when your at michigan. And everyone say's he had no players, he came in too arogant and didn't do the most important recruiting and that is keeping the players you already have.
