Gibbs is now doubtful.

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Don?t like this. I think our offense will struggle. But even without Branch, our D should be able to limit Carolina.

23-16 Lions in an ugly game.

 

[thehippo73]

I have a feeling Kalif is going to have a big game. I see him taking the St Brown role. Lions 27-13

 

[Monster]

Gibbs being out isn't a huge deal. He hasn't been getting a lot of meaningful snaps anyway. Let him rest.

 

[Monster]

Sun God is out. Shit.

 

[JScottWriter]

Don?t have a good feeling about this game with all the injuries. Hope the defense plays well.

 

[Monster]

Really want to see Jamo get some meaningful snaps. Need to see what we have with him.

 

[Monster]

Looks like a catch. Shit. Wasted a good 1st down

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Panic challenge. Stupid.

 

[mhughes0021]

Dumb early challenge cause our team can't cover for shit on 3rd n long.

Our secondary losing branch is the biggest loss going into the game.

 

[gotime909]

What a terrible challenge. Down too many players today for the coaches to be making mistakes early.

 

[biggunsbob]

3rd and 12 and they play soft coverage and that looks like a catch to me.

 

[biggunsbob]

Dan has some dumb ass spotters in the booth.

 

[Monster]

Aidan getting doubled every snap. Bring a blitz.

 

[gotime909]

Need some pressure

 

[Monster]

There you go, D. Nice

 

[biggunsbob]

Punt safe play safe please. Crap going for it.

 

[mhughes0021]

D gets off the field. Bryce Young has looked rattled early in his career... no different on the first drive.
