OTish: Wolverines in the NFL. Moody misses TWICE as 49ers fall to Browns
What a bizarre sight to see. Jake Moody misses from 54 early and 41 VERY late as San Francisco goes down in a really gross game.
Pre-game skirmishes, questionable penalties, and a host of injuries make this one of the weirder games I've seen this year.
What else are our boys up to?
October 15th, 2023 at 4:37 PM ^
Wow. Moody missed 2x?! Wild.
October 15th, 2023 at 5:39 PM ^
Needs that Michigan culture to be effective
October 16th, 2023 at 3:16 PM ^
I think it's own of those things we all knew in our hearts all these years but were afraid to say out loud.

He was my one homer pick for FF this year. Not a great week for me and this didn't help.
October 15th, 2023 at 4:40 PM ^
Oof. Feel bad for Jake. 41-yard miss was for the game
October 15th, 2023 at 7:47 PM ^
I was there and got so excited at the miss i accidentally punched my wife in the face in the celebration.
October 15th, 2023 at 8:32 PM ^
lots of guys in custody use that excuse....hey, sometime it's bound to work.
October 16th, 2023 at 9:55 AM ^
Punched is probably the wrong word. Smacked perhaps?
Anyway, my euphoria at the miss was definitely tempered by the sight of my lovely wife shooting me eye daggers at being wacked in the celebration.
October 15th, 2023 at 8:55 PM ^
"accidentally"
October 15th, 2023 at 8:55 PM ^
I felt bad for a moment. And then I remembered this is for seeding in the NFC. I’ll take it. Sorry, Jake.
October 15th, 2023 at 9:08 PM ^
Definitely bittersweet.
October 16th, 2023 at 9:18 AM ^
Having been raised in Northville further complicates this for me. Go Jake! Go Blue! Go Lions!
October 15th, 2023 at 4:41 PM ^
Nico Collins with 4 grabs for 80 yards as the Texans continue to surprise. Hopefully he's able to parlay this year into a nice contract for himself.
October 15th, 2023 at 5:34 PM ^
CJ Stroud is looking like the best of the rookie QBs.
October 15th, 2023 at 5:41 PM ^
He's looking like the best QB prospect in a few years. Purdy is productive, by Stroud makes better throws than anyone since ... Burrow?
October 15th, 2023 at 6:22 PM ^
Purdy, without CMac and Deebo (and a less than 100% Kittle) is...
...Trey Lance.
October 15th, 2023 at 6:05 PM ^
No snow or flu in Houston.
October 15th, 2023 at 4:41 PM ^
East coast trip after a big rivalry game not surprised by the result.
October 15th, 2023 at 4:43 PM ^
I have Moody on FF too, bummed for him as this was another rare chance to beat Ohio as a pro IN OHIO.
October 15th, 2023 at 4:43 PM ^
#NFLkickers
Feel for Moody. Being a kicker in the NFL is a mostly thankless job.
October 15th, 2023 at 4:44 PM ^
Silver lining, his misses help the Lions in conference standings.
October 15th, 2023 at 4:47 PM ^
Even stranger, his kick didn't hook back to the left like it always does.
October 16th, 2023 at 6:43 AM ^
Maybe he’s working on a swing change
October 15th, 2023 at 4:48 PM ^
Browns fan here since 1975! What a game - GO BROWNS!
October 15th, 2023 at 4:49 PM ^
Rooting for Jake in all other games except this one.
October 15th, 2023 at 4:49 PM ^
WTF? That’s not Jake Moody-like.

Josh Metallus had some nice plays.
October 16th, 2023 at 1:05 PM ^
Metellus was pretty good as well.
October 15th, 2023 at 4:50 PM ^
Josh Metellus forced a fumble that was eventually returned for a TD by the Vikings. That ended up being the winning margin in the Vikings win over the Bears.
October 15th, 2023 at 7:54 PM ^
he looked pretty good in their last game as well
October 15th, 2023 at 4:52 PM ^
How were the holds?
October 15th, 2023 at 5:02 PM ^
Fine! His form looked good too. Another commenter said that the kicks didn't have their usual curve to them, and I completely agree.
October 15th, 2023 at 5:36 PM ^
Odd. He's been so consistent that my first reaction must be that the snapper/holder screwed up.
October 15th, 2023 at 4:54 PM ^
The questionable penalties though.
October 15th, 2023 at 4:58 PM ^
Aidan getting held, no flags, per usual.
October 15th, 2023 at 5:46 PM ^
The Bucs turned penalties off before the game.
October 15th, 2023 at 5:15 PM ^
Bummer for Moody, but LOL the 49ers lost to the Browns?!?! HA HA!
October 15th, 2023 at 5:29 PM ^
Lions better not let Mayfield beat them. This is a must road game win over an average Tampa team!
October 15th, 2023 at 6:07 PM ^
3-1 with a decent defense...
But Lions scraping the bottom of the barrel for RBs... Moving the ball though. Looks like they may escape Florida with a win.
October 15th, 2023 at 5:37 PM ^
Craig Reynolds hit one of the best blocks I’ve ever seen. What a play. Turned a likely FG into a TD.
October 15th, 2023 at 7:32 PM ^
Crucial play indeed.
October 15th, 2023 at 5:45 PM ^
BostonWolverine: current and former Michigan players are never OT.
Moody missing two kicks in one game in Ohio is the most compelling evidence yet that the NFL is scripted.
October 15th, 2023 at 5:54 PM ^
Oof…my ff team!
October 15th, 2023 at 6:03 PM ^
First miss was from 54 on a wet day. Pulled it left. Overcompensated on the 41 yard kick and left it a bit right. Browns stadium is a tough place to kick, and it was his first time kicking there. He’ll be fine.
October 16th, 2023 at 1:04 AM ^
Why is Browns stadium a harder place to kick than other stadiums?
October 15th, 2023 at 6:06 PM ^
This one hurt especially since I really dislike the Browns and really wanted to see them to go down.
But SF being down McCaffery and Deebo makes it tough to win any game. And it didn’t help that the refs were in the Browns’ pocket.
October 15th, 2023 at 7:59 PM ^
Yup I was there and each of the 13 penalties called against the Browns for 120 yards were totally justified.
The five penalties for 35 yards against the Niners were totally bogus. Couldn’t believe how much the officials wanted us to win, I mean calling a penalty against the Browns 3X as frequently as the Niners is proof positive of their pro CLE bias right?
October 15th, 2023 at 6:30 PM ^
Jameson Williams just caught a 45 yard touchdown pass from Goff.
Kid has skills
October 15th, 2023 at 6:55 PM ^
What's up with these Lion's punt returners catching punts inside the five yard line....
The last one he caught on the two back pedaling.
Dumb!!!!
