One major glitch Prime streaming glitch: : the audio is a split second ahead of the video. Al Michaels called pick but it didn't happen yet. Oops

Yeah, I kept hearing that. But I watched on Fox on YouTube TV...I opted to take advantage of the NFL requiring local broadcast stations to carry local team games that are on streaming or cable.

I did watch the pregame show on my iPad. And I'll never watch another pregame show again.

@Raiders @NFL this is absolutely disgusting. Dude in the grey shirt needs to be banned from stadiums for life. Hits Kyler murray in the face on purpose and then tries to hide as you can see in this video….DISGUSTING. BAN HIM FOR LIFE. EVERYONE Retweet this out so it gets seen‼️ pic.twitter.com/FhI8xQoNwS

A fan struck Kyler Murray in the face after Sunday's game. Police are investigating. https://t.co/QP2JsVUWUn

He should have slugged Carr and Renfrow.

Goff's Lions: Power Rank: 16
Detroit Lions
1-1
Previous rank: No. 26

Are the Detroit Lions an offensive juggernaut? Maybe! Dan Campbell's Grit Warriors found little resistance from the visiting Commanders in a 36-27 win at celebratory Ford Field, becoming the first Lions team since 1970 to score 35-plus in their first two games of the season.

Jared Goff threw four touchdown passes on Sunday, and he's getting plenty of help: Amon-Ra St. Brown (184 total yards, two touchdowns) is developing into a legit No. 1 wideout, while D'Andre Swift (87 total yards and a TD on just seven touches) looks like a running back prepping his application for The Superstar Club. Throw in a three-sack game for No. 2 overall pick Aidan Hutchinson, and the feel-good Lions could be transitioning into the actually-good Lions. Behold the metamorphosis!" nfl.com


*….and on the LV front:

" The summer featured much talk about the connection between Carr and Davante Adams. On Sunday, the quarterback and All-Pro wideout connected two times for 12 yards and a 1-yard touchdown." nfl.com

Bills Lions Superbowl? The Bills are dominating so far, and the Lions are showing signs of life! Give Goff time and he can light it up.

"Most NFL players by...

College: Alabama (58), LSU (52), Ohio State (52), Georgia (44), Notre Dame (37), Penn State (35), Florida (33), Michigan (33), Oklahoma (32), Iowa (31), Clemson (29), Texas (26), Washington (26), Wisconsin (26), Auburn (24), Miami (24), UCLA (24)"
-Axios

During the Tedford years - we averaged about 30 players on NFL rosters. We need to get back to that. 4 per year - not one or two. Interesting that UCLA has more than USC.

Rodgers -Brady V isn't on in LA because Rams and Chargers have games at the same time.

Lions are kicking Viking ass.

Goff just threw a TD pass to start the 2nd Qtr. Apparently that's 17 straight quarters that the Lions have scored a TD. Goff is having a great game so far.

Lions up 14-0

Of note are Wisconsin and Iowa, 2 teams that don't really recruit in general any better than we do but Wisconsin does recruit better on the OL and Iowa has the most stable coaching situation in the FBS.

Tied 14 a piece at half. Vikings have a Power Ranking 11 slots higher this week than Lions. A Lions win would be HUGE! GO GOFF! GO BEARS!


*In a prior era, Dan Campbell would have been the guy that the Viking ship would send in to sack and pillage a coastal village…BY HIMSELF!

Lions up 24-14 now.

Goff still playing well. Lions are something like 4 of 5 on 4th down conversions.

That's also 18 straight Qtrs Lions have scored a TD. They said it's the 2nd longest streak in NFL history (and still counting).

Lions ahead 24-21 with about 2:30 left in the game.

Vikings are trying to get the ball back for a last drive. Cam Bynum for the Vikings gets a holding call, giving the Lions a 1st down.

At the 2-minute warning it's 3rd and 14 for the Lions. The game is not over yet!

Crap

Too bad Lions. Sh@it!

…in other news:


Mark: "What does that mean on the scoreboard?"

Mike Maylock: " We lost, boss."

Mark: "0-3? What does that mean?"

Mike: "That we suck, Boss."

Mark: "How much is Carr's extension?"

Mike: "$121,500,000."

Lions gonna Lion.

I think I have RedZone psychosis right now.

Doug Pederson has tied Urban Meyer for fifth all time in most wins by a Jaguars coach.

Is this Niners vs Broncos game a baseball game or a football game? It's brutal. 7-5 after 3 QTR.

Really bad Jimmy G game here. Don't know what he's looking at on these throws.

Clownish performance by the Niners.

Glad I was never a Niners fan…but at this age, I now prefer it when they win. They should have gone for 1st, not kick the FG. It came back to haunt them. Play to win.

I try not to care as much these days, but when it's a tight game down the stretch that inadvertent anxiety creeps in.

It's because people write things such as the following early on in Lions games:
"Lions are kicking Viking ass."

My friend sent me a similar message via text early in the Lions game today and I told him to bite his tongue. But, clearly, the damage had been done.

It was the classic annoying Russell Wilson game where he doesn't do s*** for three quarters but puts together a drive or two late to pull one out of his arse. Of course, the Niners should have already had more points by then so they put themselves in that position.

Derek Carr has memorized the Hue Jackson post game pressie "The Loss is All on Me (but not really)" speech.

"At the end of the day, it's on us," Carr said in his postgame news conference. "We lost. We turned the ball over. It's never, you know me, I'm never going to put it on anybody but myself, but people get mad when I do that too." Las Vegas Sun

*That speech grates on you like nails on a blackboard after the 5th or 6th rendition.

Think Tom Brady is an ironman? George Blanda was still playing at 48


https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/sep/27/george-blanda-oldest-nfl-player-football-tom-brady?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other


"……there was no situation in a football game that flustered him. If he knew what pressure was, he never let on. He was a tough guy who could be irascible at times, but he was also clutch, honest and straightforward.

…….. Brady has extended his career through meticulous diet and exercise, so he looks darn good for 45. With matted, graying hair and thick sideburns, Blanda looked at that age as if he'd used his face for place-kicking practice with his square-toed shoe."

*LV is dropping through the Power Rankings faster than a whale dump.
