I quit watching when BDubs cut me off during the second quarter.

Did Matt Casell continue to look like a guy that would never play for anyone aside from his poker buddies?

Our defense is gonna suck more ass than Nemos parking lot.

Correct on all accounts.

The bright side was Kerryon Johson and Brandon Powell. Both were by far the best players on the field for either team. That Santoso kid looks better than 90% of the punters in the league. I would keep a second punter before keeping Cassell. He kicks FGs too.

Jake Rudock should be our No 2 QB. He looks like an NFL QB already in the pocket avoiding pressure. He does not have much of an arm but neither does Cassell. And Cassell cant move and was sacked like 5 times. Just make Cassell the QB coach already and save the roster spot.

Kind of scared by this new development of tiny hands returning punts. First he has to catch it, then has to hold on with big hits. Probably not his strong suit.

Powell is better than him IMO. AA is just going to be showcased in the pre-season in hopes of fostering a trade. We need some front seven players. Our backups were awful and our starters are average. Front 7 had several mistakes not sealing the edge mostly.

Virtual Lions spoil Gruden's return to Oakland 28-20 via Madden 19.

Michael Roberts looks like something special at TE.

Went back and watched the game because I fell asleep the first time. It didn't work, I fell asleep again this time.

One thing I didn't realize, Don Muhlbach is still around. I remember a story about Donny boy when Steve Mariucci first brought him into the team. They timed his snap, and he threw the ball back faster than anyone else in the league. His snaps were hitting the holders hands while every other long snapper in the leagues balls were still in the air.

I guess that was enough for him to outlast what? 6 head coaches and 3 general managers?

That was the most vanilla game I have ever seen. I know it is preseason but it felt like Joe Lombardi was calling the plays for both teams.

Even the defense was in a straight 4-3 all night. No wrinkles of any kind.

Looks like we may see Ragnow at center sooner than we expected. Losing Glasgow is kind of a big blow, hopefully not serious.

That sucks. Ragnow will still stay at Guard unless Joe Dahl steps up. Dahl looked decent in the first game so that could still happen but Ragnow was so good at Guard (except for 1 play) that they will be hard pressed to move him. I would prefer they did though.

Who plays center? The dude from the Jets?

7PM tonight. Tickets are cheap (starting at 8 bucks I think) if you can get there.

It will be interesting to see if MP shows anything regarding schemes this game. Lions were straight vanilla game 1 and did not give away any schemes at all.

Didn't watch much of the game but what I did watch they looked pretty bad. Decker and Wagner were getting blown up every play. I thought Ragnow played pretty well though. Kept yelling at Patricia to get Stafford out of there. It took a while but he finally did.

Not much to say. This looks bad. Front 7 D still sucks although the backup LBs were decent. Pasqualoni is going to have a stroke before the bye. Only game 2 of the preseason and he had veins popping out of his head.

No excuse for the offense. Plenty of big play guys and enough O-line talent. Cooter will be on the hot seat. They are out of excuses on that side of the ball.

On the bright side, Tiny hands had 2 more fumbles and will probably not even be considered for playing time and that is if he even makes the team.

Cooter has no business being on the hot seat this year. He's been relegated to mere puppet status by Patricia. This is no longer his offense.

Last night I kept thinking he should get himself fired over Cassel.


Not a chance he's making the call to put him out there. This NE good ol boy shit is embarrassing.


Ruddock looked good once Casseltime ended.
