Holy smokes, it is here

Sucks for KC that Kelce and Jones are both out...

 

Time for Mahomes to shine.

 

 

Debating if I should play Noah Gray in fantasy... 2nd Flex spot.

This is going to be a great game. No Kelce, no Jones. I have the Lions going to the SB as my bold pick. In the NFC, anything is possible. I took KC tonight only because it is at Arrowhead and it is banner night. I wouldn't think they would lose their home opener with Mahomes?

Have to ask Goodell, he just said he had the script in his pocket.

Me too. I don't dislike K.C., but sort of feel sorry for Detroit.

[NFLfan]

Nice to see Jet (McKinnon) still in the league.

[NFLfan]

I love it!! (Going for it on 4th down -- fake punt)

 

But if they did not get that first down, that would have been a disaster.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Fake Punt, trickery  .It worked. 

[Dunk]

Nice fake punt. Gutsy call where they were

[RollerColt]

Lions with some swag. I dig it. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Gibbs is unreal fast!

[RollerColt]

Gibbs is a dawg.

[Dunk]

If he doesn't slip......... easy 6

[2006Coltsbestever]

Lions draw 1st blood. Goff with a TD pass. Great drive, and great fake punt. Lions look pretty good early. 7-0.

[Happy2BeHere]

Nice score! WTG Lions!

[RollerColt]

Lions making a statement for this season. Watch out.

[Solid84]

I like the Lions offense.

Yep, they still might not win this game but they will win the North at worse.

Lotta speed. Love the timing Goff has with his receivers. He hits em in stride

Quick first quarter.

[Dunk]

I just realized last year the Thursday games were only shown on Amazon? I am watching this one on NFL channel.

Me too. In my area, NFL Network is showing "Top 100 Players of 2023".

Gamepass is showing NBC as well. 

[RollerColt]

By a lucky mistake, I forgot I have Peacock. So I’m able to watch tonight 👍

Don't you have it on free TV (on NBC)?

[2006Coltsbestever]

TD Chiefs, 7-7 now. Good game so far.

I may be too, to tell the truth. Youtube Tv is tough for me to figure out what channel I am watching.

 

Ok I see the little peacock in the upper right hand corner. Guess I'm officially a geezer

Yeah it is on WTHR/NBC.

Nope I cut cable this year due to ridiculous prices and the fact that our local provider was cutting most channels. I live in Reds country but rarely ever had any coverage.

Strange because it is on NBC in every state. It isn't on cable. It is a local channel.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Goff to Brown looks pretty good.

I cut cable once and did not miss it. I have cable now. I don't watch much TV. I got my company to give me the network channels and 15 cable channels of my choice. It included the NFL Network but not Red Zone or the Mets Channel (called SNY). I chose channels I may watch but I watch only a few. Without taxes and other charges, it is about $50. They had been charging $140+ to have channels I never watch.
