Shades of late-Rams vintage Goff. I thought he had removed those occasional bonehead throws from his game.

Zach is better than both of these assholes.
Goff has looked pretty good aside from that huge mistake.

I mean, maybe Zach would also look pretty good behind the Lions’ O-Line.

I may be wrong but I thought it started in 2020 when there were few to no fans in NFL stadiums but Bud Light set up the Showtime Cam in the end zone that allowed players to celebrate with fans virtually.

You are correct; it all started during COVID, the cameras are gone, but the players still do the end zone celebrations.

I think he was down, but don’t know that you’re going to get a definitive angle.

In my minds eye, I just keep picturing Maxx and Gruden in some off strip dive bar doing shots of whiskey in silence and looking right in each others eyes for 2 hours before heading to the stadium and I cannot believe Roger took that from me.

Is this the sort of thing where they call it a turnover as a default position to force the auto-replay, hoping they'll find something definitive?

I guess things could be worse and we could be paying Jimmy G 100 + million to pass for like 42 yards

It still might prove to be a mistake to draft Gibbs in the first round, but it doesn't look like it tonight

I picked him to be OROY for a reason…

I need to update my predictions thread. My NFC predictions will probably never look better than they look this week. Don’t look at the AFC.

The vision on that play was astounding
Every single blocker was on point. So he knew who he had to beat. And as you said, the amazing vision — he saw the CB overcommit and cut outside in, like, a nanosecond.

I don’t think I’ve watched a full Lions game since the opener against KC — just snippets on RedZone. But their O-line has looked elite to me.

It might be the best. Them or Philly. SF good too.

This is a very good Lions offense and they haven’t even gotten Jameson Williams involved yet.

Didn't Matt Millen draft WR with first-round picks for three straight years?

This is why Josh was right to GFI — his defense is gassed.
