Sunday Football Open Thread
Welp, it's Sunday and there are Football and football accessories on the television. Playcards are stuffed in fat men's pants, then later used to cover their mouths. Sports are sportsing, lots of "kind of guys" are "making plays," here's a place we can talk about them.
Go Lions
September 15th, 2019 at 1:47 PM ^
So AB is playing...
September 15th, 2019 at 1:50 PM ^
Green Bay is sticking it to the Vikings today. The NFC North looking truly unpredictable this year.
September 15th, 2019 at 1:54 PM ^
The Lions are predictable in where they will end up (my guess is 6-9-1)
They are unpredictable in the ways they will find ways to screw themselves.
September 15th, 2019 at 3:04 PM ^
6 wins? stig, i'm a lions fan, have been forever.
i think its much more likely we won't win 6 games the next two years combined.
September 15th, 2019 at 3:39 PM ^
This is how I had it before the season started:
2 and 4 against the division. Lose both games to GB and split with Minny and Chicago.
L @ Cardinals -- even with a new coach and QB, the Lions struggle with this team and the Lions struggle on the road.
L Chargers, @ Eagles, Chiefs -- is any explanation needed?
W Giants
W @ Oakland
L Dallas -- Dak and Zeke should have a field day against that leaky front 7.
L @ Washington -- Lions have 1 road win in Wash in forever.
W Tampa
W @ Broncos -- Even though Denver fans think the Super Bowl is their birthright -- it's not as getting *blown out* in the SB is, the Broncos are not that good of a team, their 1 decent RB has durability concerns and can Flacco lead them?
September 15th, 2019 at 6:59 PM ^
The Lions are 1-0-1. And you are 0-2 with your picks.
September 15th, 2019 at 9:45 PM ^
Yeah because people normally predict ties and the Chargers out-Lioned the Lions today. There's still plenty of time left for the Lions to get to only 6 wins.
September 15th, 2019 at 4:41 PM ^
On pace for 8-0-8
September 15th, 2019 at 2:09 PM ^
I thought the Vikings were the better team from last year but of course Aaron >> Kork
September 15th, 2019 at 1:53 PM ^
Lions special teams suck.
September 15th, 2019 at 2:10 PM ^
Return team looks instantly better with Amendola back there. Too bad it took a loss last week partly thanks to a muffed punt for them to realize it
September 15th, 2019 at 1:54 PM ^
Patriots stuck in first gear in Miami
September 15th, 2019 at 2:08 PM ^
Shifting gears.
September 15th, 2019 at 2:07 PM ^
It's also kinda nice to see Kirk Cousins getting into his failure routine. I think at this point he's in the Rex Grossman "for some reason people keep making me a starter" Club.
September 15th, 2019 at 3:00 PM ^
What’s his career record vs winning teams at now? Isn’t it something brutal like 4-25?
September 15th, 2019 at 2:08 PM ^
Lions are in form. Already a missed XP and short field goal
September 15th, 2019 at 2:09 PM ^
I'm annoyed the Bears and Broncos is being played locally instead of Saints and Rams. I'd much rather watch that but hopefully the Bears drop to 0-2.
Prater needs to get it together, gonna need him several more times yet today.
September 15th, 2019 at 2:13 PM ^
That missed XP will somehow haunt the Lions. Guaranteed
September 15th, 2019 at 2:15 PM ^
Yea. It'll force them to go for two at some point which will inevitably get stuffed.
September 15th, 2019 at 2:18 PM ^
There's a flag every other play in this Lions game. It's nearly unwatchable
September 15th, 2019 at 2:19 PM ^
Take a timeout Patricia you idiiot! You have the Chargers at their own 3 yard line
September 15th, 2019 at 2:20 PM ^
Lions need to change the WCF on their jersey to WTF.....
September 15th, 2019 at 2:22 PM ^
And sell the team.
September 15th, 2019 at 2:21 PM ^
Credit to the lions defense keeping the offense in the game. Credit to the lions offense keeping the chargers in the game.
September 15th, 2019 at 2:24 PM ^
Green Bay choking hard at the end of the half.
September 15th, 2019 at 2:24 PM ^
Wow the Lions do the impossible and give up a 47 yard pass with 2 second left. Impressive
September 15th, 2019 at 2:53 PM ^
Does there have to be a flag on every play? Jeezus this is brutal
September 15th, 2019 at 2:55 PM ^
what the fuck? This is ridiculous
September 15th, 2019 at 2:57 PM ^
3 more flags since I last posted
September 15th, 2019 at 2:59 PM ^
If you touch an opposing player it's a penalty these days.
September 15th, 2019 at 3:04 PM ^
Love short yardage runs out of the shotgun. Thing of beauty every time.
September 15th, 2019 at 3:13 PM ^
This is the most derp game I've seen in a long time. I love it. It's so bad I'm thoroughly entertained.
September 15th, 2019 at 3:14 PM ^
Let's see if I can predict the rest of the Lions game:
1. Lions get a field goal to make it 10-9 Chargers
2. Chargers get a TD to make it 17-9 Chargers
3. Lions get a TD later in the 4th but fail on the 2 pt try 17-15 Chargers
4. Chargers seal it with another TD 24-15 and put it out of reach
September 15th, 2019 at 3:22 PM ^
This take seems optimistic, as it expects the Loins to put a kick through the uprights. I predict 13-6 Chargers.
September 15th, 2019 at 3:24 PM ^
Well the Chargers can't make a kick either. Still 10-6
September 15th, 2019 at 3:28 PM ^
Yep, everyone is failing to meet expectations in this dog of a game. But, but, Detroit could win this thing!
September 15th, 2019 at 3:36 PM ^
The Lions will always break your heart - even when they win
September 15th, 2019 at 3:22 PM ^
Stafford being Stafford and Slay proving he is over-hyped. There is no real talent on this team, except for K. Johnson
Prediction 5-10-1 and Patricia resigns.
September 15th, 2019 at 3:26 PM ^
Another missed FG by Chsrgers. If Lions win, it's only because the Chargers are more inept than they are.
September 15th, 2019 at 3:33 PM ^
CJ Anderson looks fat and slow. Damn
September 15th, 2019 at 6:42 PM ^
He's no ZACH Zenner
September 15th, 2019 at 3:35 PM ^
Now that missed XP starts to hurt. a 4 point lead would certainly feel better right now. I'm sure the Chargers will get a TD anyway
September 15th, 2019 at 3:37 PM ^
Winovich sighting in the Pats game. Got at least a part of a sack.
September 15th, 2019 at 3:44 PM ^
And another!
September 15th, 2019 at 3:40 PM ^
Pats closing in on a professional Rutger...
September 15th, 2019 at 3:47 PM ^
Lions in the prevent to prevent the win
September 15th, 2019 at 3:48 PM ^
Lions playing for the tie.
September 15th, 2019 at 3:52 PM ^
Lions will get a penalty here to keep the drive alive. count on it
September 15th, 2019 at 3:53 PM ^
Patriots are good.
September 15th, 2019 at 3:53 PM ^
Big play Slay! Now the missed XP is bad because Chargers will still get one more possession to get a tying FG
