Nice start by Detroit.

I know we signed Rivers that year and traded our 13th pick for Buckner which were actually good moves.

It was 2020. We just signed rivers and drafted Pittman and Taylor early in the 2nd. Would of cost one of Taylor or Pittman to move up.

[Happy2BeHere]

Indeed the lions looking awesome to start the ballgame!

[NFLfan]

Good to see LaPorta out there

[2006Coltsbestever]

Lions baby! 7-0. -

[Happy2BeHere]

TD Lions! Way to start the game, I hope a sign of things to come for them this post season.

I guess I am looking at it from a Colts fan perspective where they have drafted Sorgi, Painter, Eason, and Sam outside of round one and at best they have developed into backups, which is fine that’s what they were supposed to be. 

 Look at the Lions. They have Goff and drafted the guy from Tennessee (can't recall his name) in the 3rd round, I believe.

[2006Coltsbestever]

That is the definition of a how team looks prepared for a playoff game. Campbell has his guys ready.

I'm like a proud dad on the sidelines... "That's my boy"  

 

Although... I'd like to point out that for me the process is more important than the result, because in a lot of cases with projecting QBs especially, the result is based on tons of factors including a big dose of luck. But yeah. my biggest point ever since Luck retired was - go get a young talented QB from the draft and develop... Good to see Love shining especially after all the doubts and slander people were heaping on him for years without him even having the opportunity to actually play and show what he can do. 

 

And you liked AR too. I think he will be successful as well.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Loudest crowd I have ever heard. Great stuff!

[ArmchairQB]

I think every football fan outside of Rams fans wants Detroit to get this.  That poor fan base has really been through it 

[NFLfan]

I like Stafford. I would not have booed him. I don't think he asked to be traded.

Come on 3rd down stop

Dallas had over 500 yards of offense.  Cowboys won TOP, 3rd down %, penalties,  Thry rushed for over 120 years and Dak had over 400 yards passing and 3 TD’s and they still lost by 16 AND the game wasn’t close…..ouch 

Keyshawn Johnson used to say on this espn morning radio show, but he’s absolutely right.  Winning football consists of 3 things:

- QB throws around 25 times, has 0 turnovers, and 2 TDs (run, throw, whatever combo)

- running back gets 25-30 carries and a score

- defense plays well

 

And tbh, majority of the teams with that stat line are usually the winners.  Dak threw 2 picks , threw 60 times, and they lost by 2 possessions.  

[2006Coltsbestever]

Good stop. Held them to 3.

[Happy2BeHere]

Good job lions! Hold them to 3 nice work

Winning a game consists of only one important thing. More points than your opponent

I wanted the Vikes to draft him despite having been hurt in college. I wanted us to draft a QB. We did. He did not show much.

Only Brady seemed to win when throwing 50+ times in many games.

Man, the league can legally pay for Hooker’s and has multiple in the league.

He actually did 

[2006Coltsbestever]

A big reason why Dallas lost today was they lost the Turnover battle. Teams that win the Turnover battle in all Regular Season games/playoffs included win 80% of the time since 1990. Dallas had 2 Turnovers that resulted in 14 points which makes it even worse, that erases away a lot of good stats. Another reason why stats aren't everything.

Yup, he’s the GOAT for a reason.

Obvious roughing the passer there.

He had asked to be traded? I did not know that. It worked out well for both sides.

[NFLfan]

Frank Ragnow is to the Vikings as Xavier Rhodes was to the Colts (draft-wise). Vikings fans wanted to draft Ragnow.

[Happy2BeHere]

Let’s go Lions!!

[2006Coltsbestever]

TD Gibbs! 14-3, Lions rolling now.

[Happy2BeHere]

TD lions! Heck yea
