**Detroit at Kansas City** (-4.5/52.5) Kickoff-Opening Night! (2 Viewers)

[karl.Racki]

Just setting up Kelce for MVP.

Or pulling a Luck this week..

 

[zamboni]

Give Ross a chance next week

 

[SoBeDad]

I take back what I said about DET needing Robbie Chosen. KC needs him.

 

[Runkle]

Well now you gotta let them score

 

[greenmountaingoat]

Turd in the punchbowl time. Det needs a TD here.

 

[Dez]

Never mind Montgomery wins it

 

[Todem]

Game…..set…..match.

 

[travdogg]

I don't wanna take anything away from Detroit, I really don't, this seemed like a 50-50 game to me, but boy KC looks like a team that is missing 2 of its 3 best guys, and like the Colts of years past are very top heavy.

Basically, I think this game told us more about KC than Detroit.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Outstanding game.

 

[Drake Hater]

Monty with serious volume.

 

[irish eyes]

What was worse, coaching or the horrible receivers

 

[IHEARTFF]

gg Lions

 

[The Frankman]

Catchable ball
Moore drops it or let’s it slip thru

For real. 4th and 25 Mahomes drops a dime for 26 yards. Damn.

I'm going to replay that because that was a heave that was over Watson's head and too high for Moore. Certainly didn't appear to drop it.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

It’s Ovah

 

[Smack Tripper]

I think that’s the biggest lions win since the 91 playoffs

 

[Desert_Power]

I just need to hear collinsworth fawn over mahomes for a few more hours.

He could probably suit up and do better than some of KC's WRs tonight.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Not sure there's a more likeable coach than Dan Campbell. I'd run through a wall for that man.

 

[CGRdrJoe]

goff haters are going to be crying all night

 

[Deamon]

Isn't defensive holding an automatic first down?

Thought the same

I’m confused by the decline

Same lions different year. They also, back in the day of Sudden Death OT decided to kick instead of receive.

Again, I believe analytics say 2nd and 1 is better than 1st and 10. But let's not start that debate, we had a massive thread on it years ago.

I’ll have to look for that thread because there’s really is no good reason to risk a turnover to get one yard there.

Absolutely there is. You could get 2 free shots to go deep and then just do a sneak for 1 yard afterwards if you happen to miss your free shots.

[greenmountaingoat]

Never mind. Just needed a first. Contrats Lions fans.

 

[Wingnut]

Love it!!!!!!

 

[Mister CIA]

Week 1 road win in KC is pretty good

 

[dmac37]

Unreal, most fun being a Lions fan since the 90's

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Feels like the Lions were out-Lioned by the Chiefs playcallong & drops.

That the chiefs *really* missed Kelce is the understatement of the century. Oof.

 

[TheAristocrat]

Good work, Lions. Best of luck the rest of the way.

 

[zoonation]

The Chiefs are junk without Kelce. That was pathetic. It wasn’t like the Lions were any good offensively either.

 

[eighsse2]

Amazing, hard-fought game, Lions. Great job!

 

[On The Rocks]

have the Chiefs announced the release of Kadarius Toney yet?

 

[BobbyLayne]

I think that’s the biggest lions win since the 91 playoffs

Correct

 

[Phil Elliott]

Better check to see if Toney was betting against the Chiefs.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Monty did a hell of a lot to get himself over with his new team and coaches tonight. Great debut.

Gibbs or not, Monty will be a staple of the offense this season.

 

[Mongidig]

Mike Evans traded to KC needs to be happening tomorrow. These WRs are trash, and they aren't winning the AFC West, let alone making the Super Bowl with this group.

Rashee Rice looked good. Maybe Kelce should be getting some MVP votes.

 

[travdogg]

Underrated thing, while he was pretty quiet in the 2nd half, Amon-Ra was still maybe the Lions best player, opened up a ton of holes in the running game, even lining up at FB a couple times. I've said it before, but man, he's the new Hines Ward, great pass catcher, and I would argue the best WR in the NFL at everything that isn't pass catching.

 

[CGRdrJoe]

I expected a lot more out of Goff and Sun God tonight but a W is a W.

his stats were better than mahomes and he didn’t have a right tackle with a head start

 

[ignatiusjreilly]

Same old LIONS!

 

[Phil Elliott]

have the Chiefs announced the release of Kadarius Toney yet?

Offering trade for 10th round pick in 2043.

 

[Mongidig]

Just setting up Kelce for MVP.

I didn’t see your post but I totally agree.

 

[Moonlight]

Yes you do.

 

[The Duff Man]

I was impressed with the KC D, they didn’t miss Jones much. Amazing win Det, what a great way for your fans to be able to sit back and enjoy opening weekend.

Anyone who watched this knows why KC lost. Toney was atrocious and cost the team 6 pts along with numerous drops, the other WRs are just JAGs getting paid, and some play calls were high school level.

Still, Detroit took advantage of what was given.

 

[CGRdrJoe]

also, either the federal govnt or the nfl needs to figure out a way for the day after the first official game of the season to be a damn holiday

 

[rockaction]

Yeah, I think that the Lions did a great job, but I gotta go with travdogg here. The KC coaching and WRs was probably the worst combination of playcalling and execution I've seen in years from KC. Forget the crown, they'll be lucky to win the AFC West, as trav said.

He's spot-on, and said exactly what I was thinking.

And Toney? That's a bad joke waiting to happen.

 

[jon_mx]

KC stadium is all blue now

 

[msudaisy26]

Just a few takes before I got to bed that no one seems to be talking about.

Those Chief wrs am I right. Time to trade for one or even sign one off the street.

Andy Reid needs to be on the hot seat. I mean what has he done in the last 6 months.

Can you imagine how good the Lions be with a real QB? Maybe Carson Wentz is available?

Can you believe Gibbs didn't get the ball more? Lions win by 4 tds of they give him all of Montgomery's touches.

 

[Phil Elliott]

They are still working on day after the Super Bowl.

 

[rockaction]

Yes you do.

It's easy to do that right now. They won, but they didn't look good. Sorry not sorry. At all.

 

[SoBeDad]

Good outcome for multiple AFC teams competing with the Chiefs for home field in the playoffs.

Good to have you and thirty basketball teams around, teech. Oh, that spelling is for you, too.

Yeah, he is a dawg. Going to have a huge year.
