Happy belated Andy. Hope your new team treats you well. You're also very optimistic with that second half thing. Love it.Bwahahaha! and
I just turned 50 yesterday. I'm picking a new team to root for for the second half of my like.
You deserve it and we are going to tilt the glass full of some fine scotch for you down hereI haven’t yelled that loud since the NFCCG game in 1991

first time I’ve shouted in elation over the Lions in quite some time. Enjoyed seeing the unbridled joy of Goff at the end there he ran looking for Campbell like a giddy school boy that had just found a Willy Wonka golden ticket !I haven’t yelled that loud since the NFCCG game in 1991
I hear you...same here.I haven’t yelled that loud since the NFCCG game in 1991
You deserve it and we are going to tilt the glass full of some fine scotch for you down here
Cheers!
Well it's not like I'm going to dump Kathy Bates for Roseanne Barr here...Plenty of room on our wagon, pard
Several of us have been very critical of Dan Campbell and for good reason. But I've never thought a bad thing about him on a personal level. He seems like a good dude and I'm just happy he got at least one win before Christmas.
Vikings have always been that team.You're THAT team Vikings.....
ENJOY!
Always have been, always will.You're THAT team Vikings.....
ENJOY!
Lions win gets an asterisk with the help of the refs.
They should have been forced to run a play for the PAT, as if there would have been a turnover Minnesota could have returned it for 2 points to tie the game.
The Lions aren't nearly as bad as their record suggests. They've been competitive in a lot of games this season. Finally had one go their way.
I mean, they would have just kneeled down. 1 in a million chance that ends in a defensive score.GreenNGold said:Lions win gets an asterisk with the help of the refs.

The refs costing the rest of us from enjoying the most Lions of Lions ways to lose a game.

How true. Deserved to have one go our way.BobbyLayne said:LONG list of in game blunders today, but rn, who cares. Those guys have been battling all year and have been close to winning 4 weeks in a row. Glad they finally broke their yoke.
How true. Deserved to have one go our way.
But that LONG list of game blunders will never get us a championship. I have been wondering if the Campbell coaching/style we are seeing is due to the unique circumstances of this particular year or is what we will be seeing going forward in the following years.
Just a Mattison owner wondering if they see enough in him that they may move Cook. Sounds like contract prohibits that? Would love to see Mattison lead a backfield.Biabreakable said:Why wouldn't they be?
Mattison is under contract for one more season and there isn't a potential out in Cooks contract until 2023.
So about the only way I see they wouldn't be is if there were a trade or suspension or something.
As you suggest lets celebrate. But you pose an interesting question.I can see giving him a pass “based on the talent on the roster.” I’m beginning to wonder if I should give these players slack based on The competence of this staff.

Agreed. This is another case of the officials pooping the bed. Odds are the Lions kneel on it and it's game over, but they still should have been made to do it, and the fact that they were not is another black mark of the current sad state of NFL officiating.The rule says the PAT does not need to be attempted only if it would not change the result of the game. In this case, it would still be possible (although very unlikely) for the attempt to change the game as a fumbled PAT attempt returned for a TD would have sent the game into overtime.
Detroit should have been forced to attempt (even if they chose to kneel)
Well he will be a free agent in 2023.Just a Mattison owner wondering if they see enough in him that they may move Cook. Sounds like contract prohibits that? Would love to see Mattison lead a backfield.
I thought I remembered that change, I was like what are they all talking about?BobbyLayne said:
The rule says the PAT does not need to be attempted only if it would not change the result of the game.
f a touchdown is made on the last play of a period, the Try attempt shall be made (except during a sudden-death period, or if a touchdown is scored during a down in which time in the fourth period expires, and a successful Try would not affect the outcome of the game).
Thanks for looking it up, I was having trouble finding the exact language of the rule, and none of the articles seemed to have it. The Red Zone showed the rule on the show earlier today and I don't think they had the "successful" verbiage in there which is what I was going off of.
Not true. The team that wins the toss can win by 9 if they get a FG on their first possession and then return a pick or fumble for a TD when the other team gets their first possession in OT. I have been waiting for that to happen, and you just know that when it does it will be one where the winning team is favored by 7 or 8.Also If I'm not mistaken, no NFL OT game can be won by more than 6 points now. Anyone betting a team -6.5 points has already lost since there is no P.A.T.
Good catch.Not true.
