If Matt Patricia wanted to come back as our D coordinator....I’m ....not sure I’d be excited for that plan.

Detroit looks like complete dog shit.
Really wish I just went with the Ravens yesterday in my Survivor pools. Oh well...

Matt Stafford is a guy who I objectively know is a pretty good QB, and his numbers back it up, but at the same time, every Lions game I can remember seeing he was trash.

"There isn't a lot of film on Darnold, college and pre season, so the Lions don't know what to expect"...…..just watch the three stooges short where Curley goes nuts when he hears pop goes the weasel and you'll get the gist of Darnold in the pocket when he goes back to pass.

That was a major gaff since our Oline has miraculously (this is the shock of the game) been pushing their Dline around

This was my experience with Trevor Hoffman. He probably had a dozen bad games in his career and I must've seen ten of them.

I really hope Vegas wins tonight. They will likely get blown out, but it will be so great if they win

I wonder how much time Detroit is going to waste ramming Blount into the line instead of just using the better player.

The Detroit gunner’s man goes down and he has a clear path, so he flies downfield and...lets the returner get around the edge. Ill-prepared team.

Who gives a fuck about the fact that Darnold’s parents - whose first names are significant for some reason - are attending the game? Typical Jim Nantz-ism

Let’s hear about the left guards cousin!

A chiropractor will be needed for all the folks bending over backwards not to give Darnold any credit.

Yes, he’s a Jet. So?

He’s also a hard working, tough minded, resilient sob who comes from a modest background, thinks he is entitled to nothing and is totally unfazed by bright lights and big stages.

This is the most concerned I’ve been in over a decade that a Patriots AFC East opponent has a legitimate QB.
