Game 8: Lions @ Packers *Monday Night* Thread

plenty of seats at the Charger Games

An away chargers game would actually be hilarious right now. 15k seat soccer stadium and it would be filled 100% with lions fans. Unfortunately i don't think we get another game here for like 6 years.
 
Gruden and his turkey hole. Now i'm going to start telling people to put that in their turkey hole and stuff it.

Team would be 6-2 at least with a different OC. Just my opinion. JB has had his moments but man he needs to be better. I think we can all agree on that . I admit I can be as negative as they come to the lions because I have been watching to many losses since 1970. Coaches in football espically coordinator's really have a huge say in wins and losses . Matt is playing at a pretty high level this year we just can't waste it. (BTW I'm grandfathered in when it comes to bitching about playcalling lol).

Hopefully one day they will get over the top because Matt is going to to go to the HoF one day and I sure hope he has at least 1 Super Bowl win!!! I predicted 10-6 this year but I think I have gotten just about every game wrong in how it will happen lol.
Next three games are critical. We need to take all 3 !!!

This team should be 6-2 right now. I still think we got hosed in the Falcons game and if we caught those balls in the EZ against Pittsburgh we'd be sitting pretty.
 
QuadFecta week. Won in all three of my FFL leagues AND the LIONS WON! I don't think I've ever had a QuadFecta before now.

I had my all time best team this year.... then it just went to shit.

10 man:
Matt Ryan
Fournette
Elliot
Kareem Hunt
Obj
Demaryious Thomas
Kyle Rudolph

Obj gets injured.
Traded fournette for Julio Jones cause hunt came on.
The following week Elliott starts getting suspended
At some point... probably this Thursday Elliot will be gone for 6 games.
Sucks...
 
No more MNF games this season, where the Lions' opponent gets the lion's share of attention by ESPN, and other than T Day vs Vikes, no nationally televised regular season games. Had that matchup been a few weeks later in the season, then maybe it might have been flexed to Sunday night, if it had division championship implications.

I browsed ESPN's power rankings for the first time since the Lions began their 3 game losing streak, to see where they were ranked. Expected middle of the pack, and thats where they were, dead-center @ #16, having dropped one spot from the previous week. ESPN bumped the Redskins from #18 to #13, and the Lions beating the aaronless Packers @ Lambeau, was a knock against them somehow. But had their beloved Packers won instead, I have little doubt that they would likely be knocking on the door of the top 10 again. Why they have the 4-5 Raiders ranked @ #12, and above 8 teams who have 4-4 or 5-3 records is a mystery, but I guess that they think that it makes their power picks look edgy, when compared to the actual standings. I also think that the Vikings @ #4 and the Rams @ #7 should switch spots.

Maybe the Lions should purposely take DoG penalties when they are @ the opponents' 5 yd line or less.

Absolutely. I didn't realize how close Abdullah was to fumbling(a third time) instead of scoring his TD until watching this

Yeah I noticed when I was watching live he sort of bobbled it when Matt pitched it to him. Had a mini-heart-attack there...

The kid really is talented we've seen it in spurts. Just can't put it together on a consistent basis. :-/
 
And changing my signature seemed to work. Best game JBC has called for a while.
