30-17 Ben Gals

Game is close but a TO by Goff in the 4th seals it for the Gals. 80% of Goffs completions goes to RB & TE.

 

[mhughes0021]

Not much to be scared of on the Bengals. That said or coaches are too dumb to have a plan for Chase. He beats us single handedly. 30-14

 

[tomdalton22]

I took the Lions +3 and the under.

Bengals 21
Lions 20

 

[tigermud]

Bengals 34
Lions MOOT

0-6

 

[mhughes0021]

We're 1 win away from being a #6 pick. Keep the dream alive coaches!

 

[LKP]

Last time we lost to bengals, lions missed playoffs, caldwell was fired and patricia was hired. We owe them a beat down for that

 

[tigermud]

Lions now the only winless team

 

[gotime909]

Holy shit is this a dumb team

 

[biggunsbob]

Penny played terrible that drive.

 

[tigermud]

Have zero doubt this lions team will not win a single game this year

0-17 is an absolute certainty

 

[mhughes0021]

Will harris sucks

 

[mhughes0021]

Will harris again...

 

[biggunsbob]

I'm taking the dog to the park.

 

[mhughes0021]

Check down on 3rd n long... smart

 

[tigermud]

The biggest problem the lions have on offense is that they have zero wide receivers worth a pot to piss in, they are all complete garbage

 

[kdp1980]

We could easily go 0-17 this year, if Goff wants to play like a ****** for 3 quarters of every game

 

[mhughes0021]

The biggest problem the lions have on offense is that they have zero wide receivers worth a pot to piss in, they are all complete garbage

Good job holmes!

 

[mhughes0021]

Atleast the coaches think we're playing with swagger lol.
