I think this is the week Nate Sudfeld takes over for Goff. Not that it makes a difference but this is the week Goff becomes yet again the backup to a backup.

Nah, too early. They'll bench him after Thanksgiving.

Nah, too early. They'll bench him after Thanksgiving.

I don?t think so. After DCs comments last week about if you can?t take care of the ball, you can?t play for this team. I think it?s coming soon. Goff, the backup to a backup!

 

[tigermud]

Dolphins 38 Lions 13

 

[Mitchrapp]

Dolphins 38 Lions 13

Does that mean a TD? Nah, 27-9.

 

[biggunsbob]

Lions are going to win this game. I?m dvr it. But this is a must win. They are not going
1-16.

DC, yeah big man on campus. So far the trade with the Rams got us Goff and an injured WR who has yet to play. Yippee.

 

[masterscorpio77]

Did that seem like way too easy pickens to anyone else?

 

[gotime909]

Goff coming out sharp af

 

[biggunsbob]

Nfl has to keep games close. These 3rd downs are frustrating. I'd like tp see what the flag was ?

 

[biggunsbob]

Freaking drop..I mean punch out.

 

[biggunsbob]

Maybe worth a challenge?

 

[gotime909]

I wouldnt call that a drop. If anything the dB made a hell of a play. Looks like a catch to me though.

 

[gotime909]

Yeah seeing that replay he needed another step down

 

[gotime909]

Goff nearly perfect so far. Can't wait til he makes a mistake and all the idiot fans shit on him

 

[mhughes0021]

Big plays from the O. Need some pressure from the dline.

 

[biggunsbob]

Jackel and Hyde team back in full force.

Terrible defense today it's really embarrassing how
Bad the defense is.

 

[gotime909]

Hill is gonna have 300 yards against AO
