Game Thread: Chicago @ Detroit, Lions are a dumpster fire.

[Mebert]

He got blocked into it!

Always time for a late botched punt. You just never know. Stafford is playing in his best game so far. OL is blocking decent. Lombardi calling a decent game. Defense is bending but not breaking.

So in a nutshell. Completely opposite of most games you've seen this season.

Don't talk about botched punts . Ive seen a fucked up botched punt already this weekend, no more please. It figures that when I can't watch the game the Lions do good

Bud,

Lombardi is upstairs in the booth with Jim Bob working the sidelines with Staff.

Not sure if that really is the reason for the better play on offense. But atleast they tried something.

And we turn over another punt! Good lord. Chicago's best offensive play calling is their two punts. (Under review. Let's see what they pull out of their ass on this one.)

What a disaster -- fumble after fumble after fumble. Even when we don't try to catch a punt, we still find a way to "fumble".

Well, they are in Michigan

Pack your bags Fuller. He was pushed into the ball, but he willingly got near it in the first place. Idiot.

Sup Bud!?!

Staff is playing really well.

Almost picked up another first on a third and long. With his feet. They should win. But a lot of time left to find a way to lose.

You have found the way Smitty.

 

[broncosmitty]

He got blocked into it!

Yeah, for sure.

Does that matter though? I don't know if there's a rule against that.

 

[Wazmankg]

He was pushed into the ball. Doubt that matters.

 

[BUD]

He's playing fired up.

Caldwell musta worked with this week on harnessing his emotions.

harnessing his emotions

 

[Mebert]

Yeah, for sure.

Does that matter though? I don't know if there's a rule against that.

There will be next year now that it has gone against the Lions. Most new rules in the NFL are written after the Lions get screwed by it.

 

[broncosmitty]

17 turnovers on the season.

League Leaders Baby!

 

[Rob]

Two special teams turnovers

 

[TrustMeIamRight]

Lovely -- the poor lions defense is without half their starting lineup and playing their hearts out, yet the Lions punt return team continues to give Chicago their best plays.

 

[Mebert]

At the very least they should call that a block in the back.

 

[BUD]

I'd like to harness Staffs ol lady

 

[Wazmankg]

He was nowhere near where the ball came down. Not his fault in any way, shape or form. He's a Lion. That's it.

 

[broncosmitty]

The rule should read:

When a player is not smart enough to get away from the ball when the return guy says to. It's a turnover because your player is a dumb ass.

or:

If a player rides you like a horse down to the ground then try and control where you fall down.
