[Monster]

Excited for this one, but we need this win. With Michigan being such hot grabage, the Lions need to save my sanity

 

[biggunsbob]

Get him out of there. Back to back flags . Missed the blitz. Pickup

 

[Monster]

That was bad.

 

[biggunsbob]

Come on Dan . Don’t be so stupid.

 

[biggunsbob]

Way to be ready D. Arnold yikes.

 

[Monster]

About as badof a start as possible

 

[gotime909]

So this is the once a month game where Dan is just reckless

 

[biggunsbob]

I just don’t get the fake. It wasn’t the time at all to fake a punt.

 

[biggunsbob]

What a dumb game plan to start.

 

[biggunsbob]

My god wtf . Go silent and run the damn plays.

 

[gotime909]

Youth isn't the issue. Terion is just an awful db

 

[gotime909]

You can't let a play go that long before blowing it dead

 

[biggunsbob]

Embarrassing offense so far. 3 holding calls so far. Another damn punt.

 

[gotime909]

No excuse to come out this sloppy. 3rd hold on the offense already out of 6 plays.

 

[biggunsbob]

Laporta looked open. Idk.

 

[gotime909]

St Brown can't be a no show for 3/4 of the game today again. Go demand the fucking ball.

 

[gotime909]

Laporta looked open. Idk.

Qb needs time to find him. His 1st option hadn't even finished his route and the pocket collapsed.

 

[biggunsbob]

Can anyone tackle ?
