2024 Lions season thread

Legs bending where there aren’t joints have a way of bothering me. lol

In surgery after they knock you out they havecto thoroughly clean the leg so there's no chance of infection. One person holds your leg up by the foot, while another scrubs it. The first time I saw a broken femur just bending as they held the whole legs weight by the foot... I had to look away the first time. The second time it still made me a bit queasy/uneasy. Tib-fibs don't bother me, and after the first couple even femur are fine now. I don't like it when I have to move people's broken limbs and they're screaming and I feel the bone grinding. Yuck. But just seeing a "normal" break isn't that bad.

Not at all graphic, but it kinda explains everything for those with questions. Does not show the actual injury.

Did you have to read A Separate Peace as a kid?

No idea what that is

We’re about to find out just how good this team is. Losing Hutchinson for the season is a setback.. Let’s see if the coaches can adjust to fit the players the Lions are able to field.

His replacements didnt do much. Pascal actually had a good game on the opposite side which was encouraging. More of that and we can let Devenport walk.

Ukwu seemed to get a lot of pressure to me. No sacks, but I feel like he had a decent impact. No idea if he got credited any qb pressures. I might just be wishful thinking.

Arnold with 0 penalties!!!!!!!!!!!

They did let him slide on 1 but definitely much better. The D-Line was fabulous all around. So that helped the secondary immensely.

2 big losses,davenport/hutchinson

 

[jayfan]

We also lost Peko yesterday. He's not great, but he's steady. And Brodric Martin is a liability. Yesterday was a disaster.

2 tackles, 1 pressure in 36 snaps. I was sure it was more.

Kidney stones are the worst pain I’ve ever felt. Couldn’t even think.

I,ve had at least 6,,but fucking my leg up hurt 10 times worse.

Thats better than I thought actually. Hopefully 1 of them steps up big. I liked Ukwu in pre season.

We got so much pressure up the middle that it may not be as big an issue any more. I think we have so many inside guys now that everyone is fresh for most of the game. Earlier in the season Alim was playing too many snaps IMO. With the emergence of Levi and the other 2 guys playing above expectations as well it is turning into a luxury and less pressure on the ends to carry the load..

I'd say you have a shot to get a good replacement at the deadline, but to get someone to completely commit to Campbell like the rest of the locker room did is where the challenge is. Usually you get someone that demands an immediate extension before they play one game.
You guys have the best team to watch in the NFL now.

He showed enough to get some snaps in the future at least. We could really use rookie version of Houston right now.

Yes. We need to move on. Was Houston even allowed on the field Sunday?

 

[Mebert]

Alim got paid. 4 year extension. 55 million guaranteed, near 100 total.

Glad he will be around long term
