It?s a must win !

 

[tinselwolverine]

Are you guys sure it?s not the Washington Colonials?

My bad.

There was a team named the Washington Colonials, they shared the stadium with the?I can?t even remember the name it?s been so long?was it scalp takers? Dancers with Wolves? Tantos? Shit, how quick we forget.

Anyway, Colonials would have been a good new name - there?s already a historic precedent.

Colonials has been cancelled too. Colonizing is not allowed. George Washington University in DC is changing their names from Colonials

To Redskins, right?

 

[LKP]

Oruwariye, Ragnow and Jonah Jackson out

 

[tigermud]

I find it too hard to believe the lions are favored to win.

 

[LKP]

Any other team with entire interior oline out and top rg and top cb and top backup cb and 1st round pick and 2nd round pick last two years and 2nd best pass rusher. Just putting this here for reference

That said, Lions can and must win

Defense will need to get one for us today to win

 

[LKP]

Skippers fault on sack. Expected for 4th string lg

Pathetic 1st series.

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Doesn?t matter. Get more depth.

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Great 1st defensive series.

 

[LKP]

Doesn?t matter. Get more depth.

Lol the depth is hurt or playing rg and center. We are down to practice squad lol

 

[LKP]

No stud oline or running qb this week. Lions better feast on these slower qbs

 

[tigermud]

Excuses already geared up for the loss?

 

[grandy]

They need to audible into the beaver play more often

 

[biggunsbob]

Need a pick 6 !

 

[grandy]

Hopefully this is what the d-line will continue to look like against non-elite O-lines
