It's like choosing to have the larger rear end in a top hat to be hosed in and be proud of it, and then be like, "ah jeez, I picked the wrong rear end in a top hat".

AsInHowe posted:That is legitimately a terrible stadium, hope it goes alright It's really more of an excuse to visit San Francisco, since I've never been before and I'll have a few days to sightsee. I'm also camping out in Yosemite on the way back, so it should be a fun time regardless of whether or not the Lions win or if the game itself is enjoyable.

My dad had Lions season tickets from 2001-06 and took me to probably six games a year. He used to say that I should be grateful for it but sometimes I think I should hold it against him.

Mitch Albom found the real problem from last night - Lions fans.quote:Now, there will be time to address the Lions' weaknesses. Lord knows, we may have all season. But before that, something needs to be said about those fans booing Stafford louder and louder as the game went on.

Acebuckeye13 posted:Going to games is fun even if the team is trash. Also it helps you develop better rivalries. I went to a Lions preseason game (in Detroit) a few years back and there was an rear end in a top hat who showed up to the game in a Michael Crabtree jersey that was taunting the rest of the crowd. He started getting into a scuffle with the crowd and people were throwing plastic bottles at him (although some were full of liquid), and finally security came. While he was being escorted out someone cold cocked him in the side of the face. That guy alone made me loathe Michael Crabtree, no matter what team he plays for. Also at another game there was a drunk fat guy in a Doug Flutie jersey (why?) that was talking a ton of poo poo, and was about to get into the same situation but he got way too drunk and ended up falling asleep in his chair. I loving hate Doug Flutie, too.

Lol I drove 1800 miles in 3 days to catch the Lions opener. Ugh gently caress me. The first NFL game I ever go to and it was that disaster. The ever present optimist in me is saying it was just week 1 with a rookie head coach, but so much went wrong that part is getting easy to drown out. When's the draft this year?

Hizawk posted:Ah, that explains why the defense couldn't stop the run or the pass and cover their lanes on special teams. What was it, 137 yards and a touchdown on returns? I know besides the touchdown there was a big return to the Lions side of the field. And then that crushing long run from Crowell. Yeesh

That's a bit of a misleading image. Haha Clinton Dix is loving sprinting and would have gotten there before the ball did. It would have been a pick,. https://twitter.com/AaronNagler/status/1039570540355379200 Unless he made that throw when he was already running, but at that stage he was still looking at his first progression. The moment Burton sat in the hole it was already too late. He probably should have looked away from his first read faster to see Burton when he could have lead him and gotten it, but yeah he made the right read by the time he had turned to see Burton from the first read. Trubs Mistake on that play was not noticing that Burton had a free release, and not looking to him sooner. Dexo fucked around with this message at 23:34 on Sep 11, 2018 |

You are aware that throwing the ball is a faster action than running and by throwing it to the recievers left the reciever could have used his body as a screen.
