***Buffalo at Detroit*** (9.5, 54.5) Happy Thanksgiving -12:30 kickoff (2 Viewers)

[rockaction]

Oh, I didn't know it was a complex with Tiger Stadium (or whatever they call it). Tiger Stadium, IIRC, used to be downtown, didn't it?

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Lions are still in it. At least for now.

 

[rockaction]

Not the second time.

No no no not a second time

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

I don't understand why you don't take the free kick and just kick it out of the end zone.

Huh? You mean a place-kick? Unless rules have changed you can't use a tee on free kicks which is why teams punt.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Buffalo’s O-line is in shambles and Allen is responding with panic. @Steve Tasker, you were right, this team is toast. There’s no solution to improve the O-line, or Doresy’s poor playcalling, or filling in the loss of Von Miler.

The injuries are killing em, the pressure is getting to Allen on every play, he's already hurt, defense is missing like the entire secondary, starting MLB, and both defensive ends. I mean they're still playing okay, but this isn't a Super Bowl team.

 

[Zeppelin]

St. Brown hurt. ****

 

[rockaction]

Jamaal Williams is really a plodder. Oh my.

 

[Zeppelin]

Williams!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tees don't matter at that level. They don't use them for placekicking and they don't add too much to the kickoffs. What they cost is a man to hold the ball upright.

And I doubt that is the rule after a safety. That seems very odd.

 

[Ilov80s]

I hate to say it but Swift is one of my least favorite talented Lions players in awhile. So much talent but just always seems to do something wrong, always banged up, indecisive.

 

[GroveDiesel]

 

[Zeppelin]

You have to be ****ing kidding me.

 

[rockaction]

Nantz shouldn't be allowed near a football booth.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Nantz

 

[Judge Smails]

Terrible. Terrible.

Tiger Stadium was in the city but not downtown. Comerica Park and Ford Field are very much downtown.

Looks like this is the rule:

“
ARTICLE 2. BALL IN PLAY AFTER SAFETY

After a safety, the team scored upon must put the ball in play by a free kick (punt, dropkick, or placekick) from its 20-yard line. An artificial or manufactured tee cannot be used.”

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

That was the jinxiest jinx that ever jinxed a jinx

 

[rockaction]

Nantz

He really thinks that debating the jinx/no jinx thing is fun. It's stupid, Jim. Stick to the Masters.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

WTF IS HE LOOKING AT???

Zach Wilson got benched for throws like that.

It was the RBs fault.

The RB that Josh sailed the ball 5’ over his head? That RB?

Cmon.

 

[Osaurus]

Nantz shouldn't be allowed near a football booth.

And he wanted Romo money. Lol

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Yes he can practice his breathless whisper.

 

[rockaction]

This is why they punt.

An artificial or manufactured tee cannot be used.”

Huh. Well, you learn something new every day. My bad for doubting it.

 

[Steve Tasker]

He is so afraid of the pressure.

 

[Ilov80s]

Some big mistakes: safety, missed FG, Swift drop. Still I don’t think anyone watching can say the Bills are significantly better than the Lions today.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Burn this turf. It’s total garbage. NFL needs to mandate natural grass in every stadium.

 

[Zeppelin]

Huge 3 and out.

 

[Osaurus]

Nice punt return

 

[rockaction]

Raymond not calling for that fair catch gained them around 40 yards.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Coach Campbell called that ST play!

 

[Zeppelin]

At halftime Campbell said the Lions were ready to pop a return.

 

[rockaction]

Burn this turf. It’s total garbage. NFL needs to mandate natural grass in every stadium.

NY, too.

But will the Bills do? Grass in December?

 

[GroveDiesel]

Dorsey’s seat needs to be getting really hot. Allen getting crushed by the pass rush and yet Buffalo is throw throw throw against the 31st run defense in the league.

 

[need2know]

Cmon lions!

 

[BobbyLayne]

sticking around

 

[Ilov80s]

Swift is our 3rd best RB. Sad but true.

I believe that’s the plan for the new stadium.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

I seriously thought they would not not be in this game. I was wrong.

 

[Zeppelin]

Gotta get a TD here.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Swift is our 3rd best RB. Sad but true.

Best 3rd string RB in the NFL.

 

[rockaction]

I believe that’s the plan for the new stadium.

Wow. That'll feel like cement in that weather, but maybe the design of it will accommodate for heat retention.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Swift is our 3rd best RB. Sad but true.

he’s only HR hitter though

but just hasn’t looked himself with the limited opportunities

 

[Zeppelin]

4 down territory now.

 

[rockaction]

Swift is our 3rd best RB. Sad but true.

I hope Dan Campbell realizes and plays Jackson more. I added him in dynasty. Be nice to see him repeat his performance from LAC last year.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Was there an ARSB update?

 

[Zeppelin]

What a catch by Chark!!!!!!!!

 

[rockaction]

Chark sighting!!!!!

D.J. Chark!

Chark attack!

MOW MOW MOW MOW

 

[dmac37]

LFG!!!

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Nice throw, Goff!
