[mhughes0021]

Great play by Jacobs.

 

[mhughes0021]

Hock blows

 

[mhughes0021]

Kalif.... you really just ran right into a defender that was turned around and tackled yourself?

So st brown doesn't use his block, hockendrop and kalif tackles himself all on 1 drive. Fucking joke of a team.

 

[dtroitlionsfan951]

Lol, oh man the sneak by weak and slow ass Goff. What a bad play calll.

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Looks like they should have run a pitch left there?..Minnesota was stacking the tackle box.

 

[dtroitlionsfan951]

Hock blows

Lol I wouldn?t go that far. It sucks he dropped it but? he?s a human.

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Love Jacobs. Good find.

 

[dtroitlionsfan951]

Love Jacobs. Good find.

Him and Parker both. Unlike lions to find undrafted guys.

 

[mhughes0021]

Every play with have a guy holding his hands up like he didn't know what the fuck just happened.

 

[mhughes0021]

Lol I wouldn?t go that far. It sucks he dropped it but? he?s a human.

Every play he misses a block. Every.... single.... play.

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Every play with have a guy holding his hands up like he didn't know what the fuck just happened.

Yeah?..that?s not good.

Watching the Detroit Lions offense is a lot like...

Watching a black hole.

Hard to see
It sucks everything
It distorts space and time

 

[tigermud]

Ha that was along the same lines I was considering..

Like watching junk get sucked into a black hole

 

[tigermud]

So what?s the story with Lynn they plan on firing this guy or just what is the point of Campbell taking over the calls from him it?s not really making any difference at all

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Hock!
