[Leroy Hoard]

Total yardage:

NE 459

DET 93

If you’re looking for positives, Don Muhlbach had a perfect snap on the 21 yrd FG with 2:21 left.

Don Muhlbach, I wish a happy 38th birthday to on August 17th.

 

[Ilov80s]

My one positive take away (and there is only one) is that Ty Johnson has some wheels. 

 

[Da Guru]

 Kearse is done for the year, broken ankle.

Brandon Powell moves up to WR4? I haven’t really followed the WR competition closely. 

 

[Ilov80s]

Brandon Powell moves up to WR4? I haven’t really followed the WR competition closely. 

I assume he will be in competition with Brandon Powell. I wouldn't be surprised if they sign someone to try out as well.

If he’s only competing with himself, sounds like he has this all locked up!

It's the Lions, he will find a way to lose it. 

Obviously  I meant the other guy with a generic name and talent to match, Andy Jones.

Josh Johnson is not good.

wait what.

JJ is on the Lions?  Wowzers.

 

[King of the Jungle]

With losing Kearse Detroit better try to pickup Inman immediately (released by Pats per his request).

 

[Snorkelson]

wait what.

JJ is on the Lions?  Wowzers.

Signed after the first preseason game, started game 2. Or as we like to call it, pulling a Culpepper.

 

[Ilov80s]

Even if it was only for a couple months, Inman is a former Patriot so it would make sense

 

[whoknew]

Looks like it may be a pretty horrible night for the Lions.

Davis and Ragnow both down with what appear to be long term injuries.

Yeah, looking like this is going to be a dumpster fire. 

 

[Ray Barboni]

French.

I’m always expecting a dumpster fire, but it’s rough starting the year with major injuries.

Never thought I’d say this, but I feel bad for Patricia right now.

Really starting to think he was building something here. Still could be - but loosing 2 players on each side of the ball? That’s rough for any team  ... especially this one.

Yeah and it can't be easy having the torn achilles and having to get around on an ATV or golf cart. 

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Neat

 

[Da Guru]

The Davis injury looked bad.    Fixed

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

Anderson`s injury looked bad.  

who?? ragnow and jarrad davis hurt.....cursed team

 

[FGITLOTR]

Anderson`s injury looked bad.  

CJ Anderson got hurt too??

 

[Leroy Hoard]

CJ Anderson got hurt too??

Not showing up anywhere, maybe he meant someone else.

 

[FGITLOTR]

Yeah, I can’t find anything either. Hoping Ragnow’s injury isn’t season ending, but don’t expect good news on Davis. I despise pre-season football on many levels 

 

[Da Guru]

Not showing up anywhere, maybe he meant someone else.

Yep..meant Davis

 

[FGITLOTR]

Great news on ragnow!

Patricia just said neither injury is season ending. Neither guy to IR.

Pretty great news.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Yeah just catching up this morning - that’s GREAT news. Ragnow should be good to go Week 1, but Davis has a high ankle sprain. Might not see him until October but still far from the worst case.

Couple interesting roster bubble projections at QB, WR & CB:

Detroit Lions 53-man roster projection 3.0

Lions players feeling the bubble heading into cut week

Tabor and Savage are back practicing this week but the 3 week & 4 week absences really hurt them. Well, the backup QB at least. I don’t think anyone understands how Teez is still under contract. Better TC this year but I just don’t think he’ll ever be the solution.

New Backup QB

 

[BobbyLayne]

New Backup QB

Backup to the backups. Mouth breather for the fourth game is my take, they’re probably going with JJ. Tough break for Savage because before he was concussed the job was his to lose.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Birkett tweeted Perez will be the PS QB. Former bowler who walked on in JC having never played QB.

Thank goodness we're not going to lose Ragnow for any extended amount of time.  Even if he's held out of week 1 to get fully healthy I'm 100% okay with that.

The injury looked much worse than the diagnosis.  Usually when a lineman's leg gets rolled up like that we're looking a long term loss.

Yup. Losing Ragnow would have been devastating. Can't afford to lose any O-Lineman, thinnest position group on the team other than maybe CB.

Hold my beer.

Wait, never mind....I’ll just chug it.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Goodbye to ZZ. Solid player who fell victim to the numbers game when lions upgraded the position this year.

 

[Ilov80s]

Lions got really lucky this weekend. I was feeling pretty grim about them Saturday.

Anybody think Mark Thompson has a role? I presume he’ll be seeing mostly special teams snaps a la Zenner. Technically he was the Lions leading rusher in PS through 3 games but that means nothing.

I think the top 3 guys get almost all the touches unless injuries. Like you said, ST for MT, and the fullback gets to block for everybody.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Pencil Alert: Matt Patricia currently pencilless on the sidelines. Maybe he lent it to an assistant coach.

Don’t tell him!! He will loose all of his non-powers.

”have you seen my pencil?”

... that’s how you get punched in the face 

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

Tez Tabor cut, what a joke of a pick.....Quinn should lose his job for that one alone.....

 

[Moonlight]

Tabor a second round pick. Quinn talked himself into that one. Guy couldn't run. 

Type you take a 6th or 7th round flyer on. 

 

[ty247]

Tez Tabor cut, what a joke of a pick.....Quinn should lose his job for that one alone.....

To be fair everyone misses and he has hit on a number of later rounds picks to date and guys trades have been spot on. I'll give him and Patricia this year at least before making any judgements. 

 

[Da Guru]

Rookie QB starting his first NFL against an 11 year vet.  Forget about the Jet game last season...Cards don`t have a chance right?

Against my better judgment I am picking the Lions 24-17

After Luck retired I have to either start Flacco or Murray.....yuck

[Drunken Cowboy]

I think I am going with Stafford over Cousins this week. Crazy?

 

[Futz]

It's time to release the Hockness Monster 

 

[whoknew]

Its always fun trying to figure out what new and interesting ways the Lions will come up with to #### up a game. #SOL

 

[Ilov80s]

I feel the same after week 1 this year as I did after week 1 last year.
