RedRamage 116 Posted August 15 I don't think we need a separate thread for each game, so here's just one for all the rest of the games. I know some of y'all were chatting in one of the off season threads about it, which is fine, but this should make it easier to find discussion on the remaining three games if people are looking for it. I didn't end up seeing much of the first game at all, but from what I've heard since the OL looked awful... which is hugely disappointing. I know it's pre-seasons and we can't draw too many conclusions from it, but it does have me worried. Generally I'm not going to try to read too much into anything in preseason unless we see extremes... like player x played out of his mind in all the games he was in... or unit y was just amazing all game long. Or: Unit Z looks pitiful. And unfortunately that's how the OL looked. They'll make me feel a lot better if they even just look average on Friday.

Hongbit 106 Posted August 15 Based on Lions history, it may be best for them to lose all the preseason games. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hongbit 106 Posted August 15 I’ve been really impressed this year with Miles Killebrew. He looks really good. Not playing football of course but he is very comfortable when interviewed in street clothes. Easy going, happy guy that looks like he’s going to soon be very successful in his life after football Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedRamage 116 Posted August 15 https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/K/KillMi00.htm Current salary: 720,000 There are worse things than being a backup/depth guy in the NFL for a few years, then having your whole life ahead of you without the wear and tear of many years playing the game. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T&P_Fan 362 Posted August 18 It was close guys, but I made it to the couch. I’m here. Went to Grand Forks today and got a puppy. Apparently you can’t get them in Bemidji (said no one ever except my significant other). Also grilled a Tbone and just had some whiskey. What’s up.

T&P_Fan 362 Posted August 18 Took 6 plays but the lions finally gave up less than 5 yards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Motor City Sonics 881 Posted August 18 Wow, defense looking stellar on this first drive................ Can we at least TRY to look good? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T&P_Fan 362 Posted August 18 Lions defense is being abused. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T&P_Fan 362 Posted August 18 Zero pressure from the lions. Watson all day on every throw. Easy 12 play touchdown for the Texans. Not encouraging. Would be nice if the lions starting DL would ever practice, let alone play. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedRamage 116 Posted August 18 Even with 12 men on the field they couldn't stop them from getting a 1st down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedRamage 116 Posted August 18 3 and out... Lions are in mid-season form. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T&P_Fan 362 Posted August 18 Are you kidding me, Stafford isn’t playing again? Patricia isn’t looking very smart. Stafford needs some damn reps with the new OC. This is some awful decision making. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedRamage 116 Posted August 18 I dunno if I want STafford out there right now. I mean, look at what's happened so far with the OL... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RandyMarsh 503 Posted August 18 So Stafford wasn't out there? The box score says he was 0/1, is that not right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which means that the starting QB and top 3 WRs won’t play a snap through 2 preseason games with a new OC. I don’t know how that makes any sense.

I don’t know how that makes any sense. Yeah I don't get it but it's kinda a relief for me to find out that he didn't play cause when I saw he was 0/1 and Johnson was 0/1 after 1 series I immediately thought Stafford got hurt.

T&P_Fan 362 Posted August 18 Lol another 3 and out. Lions have been by far the worst team in the preseason so far. Can’t get a first down. Can’t get a stop. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
