Week 15 Game Thread

[CaptainLaddie]

Wait, is Gruden making 40 year old cultural references?

 

[mascho]

Well drawn, well executed screen.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

This may be the first time I've ever rooted for the Lions

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Karma biting Elam hard early

 

[Ed Hillel]

I hate the Ravens. I hope that they lose.

 

[Ed Hillel]

That's not supposed to be offsides with the rule tweak, since the guy just pointed. I'm ok with that.

 

[Bellhorn]

God dammit

 

[mascho]

Minitron catches that.  

 

[Ed Hillel]

Wow.

 

[twibnotes]

Did that just happen?

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

old hands

 

[Ed Hillel]

He did the same thing against Tampa to lose the game. Choking motherfucker.

 

[mascho]

Umpire is a gamer.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Smith punched him in the head to try to draw a flag. In Baltimore he gets it.

 

[shawnrbu]

I only see rage when I see Gerry Austin.

I just feel bad.  You know they pulled them away from his warm applesauce.

 

[shawnrbu]

There's the Dennis Pitta who will be in all our nightmares on Sunday.

Really? I used to love Barry Sanders. Spent many a Thanksgiving watching people like Scott Mitchell throw just terrible INTs as Barry looked on helplessly. It was a window into the misery of being a Detroit sports fan.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Someone just went in low like a missile on Flacco.

 

[Eck'sSneakyCheese]

Torrey Smith has had a great year

 

[jsinger121]

No pressure from that Detroit line

 

[Ed Hillel]

That was a really dirty hit on Flacco.

Time for my favorite Lions-related game:  Suh or Fairley?

It was the Middle Linebacker. He may have been a bit off-balance, but pretty shocked it wasn't called.

Agreed, I think I've spent every Thanksgiving rooting for them. 

 

[twibnotes]

I don't get the Lions hate. Granted Suh is dirty, but that's a fanbase deserving of a winner IMO

 

[Bellhorn]

These last few minutes can basically suck my balls

 

[Ed Hillel]

I know he was out of the pocket so it didn't matter anyway, but the back judge ruling that receiver "in the area" anyway is infuriating.

 

[mascho]

Jim Schwartz wore a bow-tie in his high school picture.
 
Figures.  

 

[mascho]

Jon, the weak side safety didn't drop into three deep like you said he would...

 

[Bellhorn]

That was a dangerous way to pick up 4 yards

 

[Al Zarilla]

Did the Lions punt coverage team know they were punting?

 

[Ed Hillel]

If Belichick had this Lions team what would its record be?

 

[Ed Hillel]

AHH, that dude was a geriatric ginger.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

Seriously, Calvin Johnson is killing me.
 
Note: fantasy related.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

I can think of a few you probably haven't.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Fucking STafford.

 

[Ed Hillel]

lolwut?

 

[Section15Box113]

WTF???

 

[Ed Hillel]

LOLWUT, Part 2.

 

[jsinger121]

This Lions team is so stupid.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Holy shit, every game with Flacco.

 

[shawnrbu]

We're calling flopping now.

 

[Ed Hillel]

That's 35 free yards this possession.

 

[ragnarok725]

A couple brutal calls in a row here. Wow.

 

[Dogman]

What?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Lions are getting no homefield love tonight. Awful.

 

[mpx42]

The "pass interference offense" is back.

 

[Ed Hillel]

More than anything, that exact bullshit is what makes this Ravens team scary.

 

[Bergs]

Holy shit, this is bad officiating.
