Football Is Back!
This is the annual Football-Has-Begun-But-Nobody-Created-A-Thread Thread. The Detroit Lions are taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Gotham City's stadium, for some strange reason (they've fixed it up rather nicely) and tonight we see the professional debut of one Jake Rudock at qb and Graham Glasgow. Scoreless most of the way through the 1st quarter, and well into the 2nd string.
Discuss actual football..

We've had an early Fitzgerald Toussaint sighting.
The first play I turned on saw James Harrison making a strip sack. Same ol' Lions...

Glasgow just came in at center. Hopefully he performs a little better than Swanson.

August 12th, 2016 at 7:50 PM ^
Nope, that was the backup LG Joe Dahl.
August 12th, 2016 at 7:51 PM ^
No, Glasgow had his man stuffed. LG let his man blow right by him.

...and Orlovsky promptly throws a pick-six. SMH.

Orlovsky making a strong case for Jake right there. That was just dumb.
August 12th, 2016 at 8:50 PM ^

He didn't just step out. He ran a good couple yards out without even realizing it. But yeah, that was him.

when everything you hear from lions blogs and reporters is that Orlovsky is clearly ahead of him.

Didn't Pittsburgh start their backups, though?

Aren't you the guy that tried arguing that NFL teams only carry 6 OLine during the season?

Of course growing up in Cleveland and Detroit I never fell in love with a NFL team.....

Defenses are borderline too good. I get bored watching most NFL games but can sit and watch college football for 12 hrs every Saturday
August 12th, 2016 at 8:30 PM ^
get out

I tuned in just in time to see Dan Orlovsky throw the pick six - that's how I knew football was back and that it was going to be another awesome year as a Lions fan.
Having said that, just now Roberts just waltzed clumsily into the end zone to potentially make it 14-10 Steelers (assuming the review holds, PAT, etc...), so there's that.

After the pick you really gotta practice extreme self control not to scream S O L !

August 12th, 2016 at 8:32 PM ^
Orlovsky. is. looking. bad. WRs misreading routes might be partially to blame, but man....
