If they want a chance at a good season they need to beat Philly.

This Eagles game may be the 2nd toughest game we play all year. I really don?t think losing to them will mean anything other then them being a lot more talented.

Justin Jackson elevated for sprcial teams from the practice squad

Even though it's just kick return duties, I'm happy to see it. Thought he looked good in preseason and always thought he had potential.

 

[biggunsbob]

Swift !

 

[biggunsbob]

Drop.

Yikes why !

Damn it.

 

[biggunsbob]

Flag

 

[biggunsbob]

Lions and red zone issues.

 

[biggunsbob]

First down !

 

[biggunsbob]

Williams !

 

[sggatecl]

Best part of that drive is following up two STUPID penalties with some great yardage and not just settling for a FG. That is NOT same old Lions.

 

[LKP]

Couldnt ask for a better start.

Swift and Williams. Goff to Hock too

Beautiful

be careful. There is a lot of time left for the SOL to show up :lmao:

I did take the Lions +4 so the early 7-0 lead makes me happy

 

[gotime909]

Loved seeing big play slay taking himself out of his gap on the big swift run
