Saturday Night Lions, CFB, and BBQ Thread
Mates,
A rare Saturday night Lions game. They are home, favored by 5 pts over a 7-6 Denver team. Lions have been very weak of late, but could probably sew up the Norris Division with a win, especially since Minny lost in OT today.
You also have some CFB on, UCLA v. Boise might be interesting. I missed the South Dakota SU v. Montana game but sounds like it was an OT dandy.
What's on your BBQ and/or plate, and what pray tell is in your cup?
Hope you are well and looking forward to the holidays.
Go Blue, beat bama!

We were up 21-0 a couple weeks ago and almost lost. Calm down people
December 16th, 2023 at 9:14 PM ^
May be the Lions are back on track. After a funky stint after the big Raven blowout.
December 16th, 2023 at 9:15 PM ^
The youth movement is on tonight.
Gibbs, LaPorta, and Jamo all making huge plays tonight.
December 16th, 2023 at 9:19 PM ^
I almost hate to say this here, but these Alabama guys are studs-Gibbs, Branch, & Jamo
December 16th, 2023 at 9:22 PM ^
Its amazing how well the Lions have drafted the last couple of years.
December 16th, 2023 at 9:33 PM ^
All they need is a DE, and a few more DBs and their D will be upgraded.
December 16th, 2023 at 9:25 PM ^
Wow, that was some blitz! I can't believe he got to Russ
December 16th, 2023 at 9:25 PM ^
I’d love to see a half ending drive for a score! Go Lions!
December 16th, 2023 at 9:27 PM ^
I think Glenn got a blitz suggestion
December 16th, 2023 at 9:47 PM ^
He’s been reading MGOBLOG. 😎

Family is over for an early Christmas celebration. Picanha off the grill , garlic mashed potatoes, kale Caesar salad, spring rolls, che thai and more (Viet food always on the menu)
To drink, strawberry wine from the family farm in Quebec we visited last year, Remus Gatsby from 2022, redbreast 27 and Laphroaig 28. Fun night!
December 16th, 2023 at 9:32 PM ^
That would be cool if you actually had Piranha but was autocorrected
December 16th, 2023 at 9:35 PM ^
Merry Christmas to you and your extended family 🎄
Sounds like a wonderful menu and some very special pours 🥃😋
December 16th, 2023 at 9:30 PM ^
This is more like it! I think the fellas felt their 'B' game would do for the rest of the season
December 16th, 2023 at 9:31 PM ^
Let’s convert this third down, drain the clock, and score a TD! Never let up!
December 16th, 2023 at 9:34 PM ^
You put Goff inside a controlled environment and he’s a all pro
December 16th, 2023 at 9:35 PM ^
hopefully that 15-20 second run-off between the tackle and the called timeout doesn't come back to bite us.
December 16th, 2023 at 9:37 PM ^
Spoiler: it didn’t.
December 16th, 2023 at 9:36 PM ^
When this team is on, especially offensively, they're just so good. The Broncos really aren't this bad defensively.
December 16th, 2023 at 9:37 PM ^
Didn’t they give up 70 to Miami?
December 16th, 2023 at 9:40 PM ^
70 🤣🤣🤣
December 16th, 2023 at 9:43 PM ^
Sure, but over the past 5 weeks they've only given up a total of 83 points. They're not an elite defense but also that 70 points was such a weird game even when it happened.
December 16th, 2023 at 9:36 PM ^
Fun half. Once Goff started finding the wide open receivers, he’s been great.
December 16th, 2023 at 9:42 PM ^
Everyone one is fighting for more yards, this is great!
December 16th, 2023 at 9:48 PM ^
Johnson went back to what Goff is good at. Shallow crosses, quick outs, hitches.
December 16th, 2023 at 9:37 PM ^
This is more like it.
December 16th, 2023 at 9:37 PM ^
wow. TD. and that was one heck of a flip by st. brown.
December 16th, 2023 at 9:37 PM ^
Nice to see the offense working well again.
December 16th, 2023 at 9:37 PM ^
Yes!!! 21-0 Lions! It's true! They are good! 😃
December 16th, 2023 at 9:38 PM ^
Lions smelling blood!
Packrats lost Monday, Minnehaha lost this afternoon, and Campbell made clear to his team that tonight was their opportunity to forge a playoff path.
December 16th, 2023 at 9:38 PM ^
Is this lead big enough to survive a Lions third quarter?
December 16th, 2023 at 9:40 PM ^
As long as the offense keeps scoring, it does not matter if the Broncos scores some points.
December 16th, 2023 at 9:44 PM ^
If they keep the pedal to the medal, they should be okay. Maybe that's why they chose to have the ball first 🤔
December 16th, 2023 at 9:39 PM ^
The key to this is going to be that first Denver drive of 3rd qtr, assuming we go to the house at 21-0. Shut their water off there and we’re on to something.
December 16th, 2023 at 9:51 PM ^
If the Lions bring the energy and aggressiveness in the second half, the Broncos will be Busted.
December 16th, 2023 at 9:40 PM ^
Drinking an Eisbock, “Bad Santa” 12.5% from Bayern Brewery in Missoula while eating grilled prime beef tenderloin, sautéed mushrooms/onions/garlic, and Caesar salad while watching the local Grizz football team win in OT. Will be watching the Redwings and Lions on DVR while drinking a Smith-Woodhouse tawny port (the best and only available from Costco) for the rest of the night. Life is good. Go Blue!
December 16th, 2023 at 9:52 PM ^
sounds great. you might want to spend more time watching the lions on the DVR....
December 16th, 2023 at 9:52 PM ^
I used to do things like that. I just finished a milk and a doughnut.
December 16th, 2023 at 9:47 PM ^
I think the second half will be SACKTIME by our very own Hutch! Go Blue and Go Lions!
December 16th, 2023 at 9:48 PM ^
Well that didn't work, but you get the gist.
December 16th, 2023 at 9:49 PM ^
Luckily I'm a bovine creature, not a horse.
December 16th, 2023 at 9:50 PM ^
From that first half performance you can tell that the Lions are sick of that Bears loss stench and want to shut up the detractors who are saying they aren’t that good.
December 16th, 2023 at 9:50 PM ^
I unfairly judged Goff harshly.
Now I feel shame 😞
December 16th, 2023 at 9:53 PM ^
He’s a different dude wearing gloves and in cold weather
December 16th, 2023 at 9:56 PM ^
Oh oh, here comes the ref show...
December 16th, 2023 at 9:56 PM ^
50 yd freaking penalty
December 16th, 2023 at 9:59 PM ^
That penalty should be changed to 15 yards and an automatic first down
December 16th, 2023 at 10:00 PM ^
It's going to be sweet if the Lions can keep them out of the ...nevermind
December 16th, 2023 at 10:01 PM ^
Goddamnit
