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!

All these teams and fan’s bitching about bad officiating should have been a Lions fan these past 50 years! Then you’d really have a point

Insane catch by Jamo.

Cool that Comerica Park is lit up
December 16th, 2023 at 10:37 PM ^
Hey. Let’s show our cute graphic instead of a run for a first down.
December 16th, 2023 at 10:38 PM ^
It’s been a minute since the Lions have been able to dominate on the ground like this.
December 16th, 2023 at 10:38 PM ^
Wow, Lions are gashing them.
December 16th, 2023 at 10:39 PM ^
TD and game. Denver is not coming back from that one
December 16th, 2023 at 10:42 PM ^
Yeah...I mean they shouldn't. Right?
December 16th, 2023 at 10:40 PM ^
Great block by DPJ on the edge.
December 16th, 2023 at 10:40 PM ^
Loins win! More or less that covers it.
December 16th, 2023 at 10:40 PM ^
Gibbs is giving me
That Night Fever, Night Feverrr...
December 16th, 2023 at 10:41 PM ^
Nice response by the offense! Keep the foot on the throttle my boys! Gibbs might be the best RB in the league. I don’t miss Sweet at all.

Lions taking a page from the Harbaugh playbook and pounding the football-I LOVE it!
December 16th, 2023 at 10:44 PM ^
This blitz concept, we should do this more often...

It was our family's annual Christmas candy making day. We make about 100 chocolate covered cherries and a big batch of caramel-melt about 5 pounds of chocolate and dip all sorts of things. At our house we make "Wolverines"...not Suckeyes :) No peanut brittle this year :(
The wood stove is blazing away-so nice.

Oh man, a hundred chocolate covered cherries!!! My mouth is watering 😋

Low altitude is obviously affecting the Broncos’ judgment.

I was worried about this game. Denver was playing well coming into the game and Detroit was making big mistakes. But they came through!

I was watching ESPN this morning and yesterday (GASP!), and they almost unanimously picked Denver because they were trending up and the Lions were trending down. So much for highly paid analysts knowing anything. None of them will mention that they were wrong in the post mortems.
December 16th, 2023 at 11:17 PM ^
Self reflection is not a job skill required of ESPN ‘analysts.’ Sound like you are right, and if you fail, move on. Or double down. Whichever works.

A year ago I lived near a Twin Peaks and I used to go watch—among other things—games there.
A waitress once talked to me at length about their employment arrangement and she said “we’re (legally) performers”—like, actresses.
Actors are paid to manipulate people, and ESPN is made up of performers, so I now view ESPN as an ethical equivalent of Twin Peaks, though the waitresses are at least honest about it, and much easier on the eyes.

Something tells me these ain't your MOM's Lions!
December 17th, 2023 at 8:03 AM ^
Eh, my mom’s Lions were beating Cleveland for the NFL championship.
December 16th, 2023 at 11:17 PM ^
Turn out the lights, the party is over in a great way. Forward down the field!
December 16th, 2023 at 11:49 PM ^
"A Lions Victory"!!

This LaPorta kid is a very talented TE! It doesn’t speak well for Iowa QB’s or OC.
December 17th, 2023 at 12:41 AM ^
But maybe speaks well for their recruiting or their TE development - looks like he was a 3 star out of high school, and the only other official visit he had was to Bowling Green?
December 17th, 2023 at 2:01 AM ^
4 more TDs and he breaks Mike Ditka’s rookie record.
December 16th, 2023 at 11:31 PM ^
Forward down the field!
December 17th, 2023 at 7:40 AM ^
A charging team that will not yield.

Wild ride in this thread from we’re dead to we’re back. 6 on defense had himself a game. Hutch needs to be more disruptive like Crosby. I think inside Goff will wrap up the division next week. Looks like Jamo is finally ready to contribute.
