Hard not to root for Lions. Currently the team I root for the most as a passive fan of other teams.

Watching Football Night in America highlights of our game they went out of their way to highlight the roughing penalty called on Josh Allen that kept our scoring drive alive. Said that call changed the entire game. Lmfao. I don’t know what’s up with the media and the Josh Allen turnover narrative and highlighting garbage like this but the national narratives around this team are nauseating.

For those of you complaining: we moved the ball up and down the field today with 0 involvement from Kincaid.

How Josh Allen has not won an MVP is beyond me

Penalties have not been ideal either.

If Allen throws that - Allen’s inaccuracy “Jekyll/Hyde” coming out again! 🙄

Commentator saying he slipped when love clearly missed the throw.

Go Pack Go I’ll be curious to see Love - progression or recession. If he progresses man Pack can really go far.

🤣🤣 The hassle for sure is my biggest gripe I think. It’s hard to keep track of what channel/streaming service games are on. My dad is also getting up there in age and he misses out on so many football games bc getting an 80yr to try and work streaming apps on a smart tv is not easy. The dude likes to push the red power button and move the channel button.

I won’t be either. Everyone has a limit though. The point of my thread is that I’m nowhere near unsubscribing from the NFL yet this move really rubbed me the wrong way. I can totally see a small market of people that will check out as a result. If in 5 years the Sunday Ticket is $500-600 only for me to then have to pay Peacock to watch a game in another country….not sure. Like I said, everyone has a limit and the NFL is currently on an unsustainable long-term (think 10-15yr) course in my opinion with respect to this international nonsense and 3-4 different networks + Sunday Ticket. They need crap or get off the pot with that stuff. Generations change and national pastimes change. But who am I kidding. I’ll prob pay the $600 for Sunday Ticket in 2030.

Agreed. Not every idea is a great idea. Id love to know how the convo went during the meeting when this opening day in Brazil on Peacock idea was discussed.

Oh I’m not. But that wasn’t my point. 🙂

I’m a huge fan of the NFL and football. I pay for Sunday Ticket every season for the past I dunno 20ish+ years? Basically for as long as it’s been in existence. The NFL offers me endless hours of entertainment via their content and/or fantasy throughout the year. For that, I’m grateful because I truly and genuinely love it. Having said that, I have to admit this Friday’s game makes me feel a bit used (dirty? disrespected? Not quite sure) and I have zero rooting interest in the game. Could you imagine being a fan of either the Eagles or Packers and waiting all off season for Week 1 kickoff and this is what you’re offered? You can’t go to the stadium to support the team. You shell out $400 for Sunday Ticket and you can’t watch the game on there either. Nope, instead the game is overseas and on Peacock. Week 1. Wow. It really irks me. I know the NFL has been doing this for years now. But week 1 overseas? And then double down and put it on Peacock? It’s brazen. Im definitely not one of these people that is always predicting the NFL’s demise (they’re entitled to their opinion too). In fact, I’m the opposite. So if the NFL is able to irk me, a staunch supporter of their product and the brand, something is clearly starting to go awry. Perhaps the means don’t justify the ends. Brutal.

Couple of things about sports that I feel are appropriate in this thread: 1. Not everything can be measured and made into a stat. There’s a mental/psychological component to human performance in athletics. When this team makes the playoffs we have folded under the pressure of the moment. That’s not due to a lack of talent - it’s because of the mental/psychological component not rising to the same level as our physical talents. 2. Luck. Yes, you make your own luck the majority of time. If you do things right and perform at a high level, more often than not you will come out on the winning end regardless of bad bounces/breaks. But there are a few times where you can do a lot of things right and still catch a brutal break. We’ve had a couple of those in the playoffs during this run. Bad timing.

No way Cowgirls add another penny to WR group.

Good thing week 1 we play the Cardinals - expect us to run it nonstop. Their D should be pretty poor this season. Then week 2 we play dolphins which is what about 3 weeks from now? I’d just shut down Samuels until then.

How Josh Allen didn’t win MVP last season is beyond me. This team is 3-14 without him. Ravens would prob still be 8-9.

I’m personally fine not kicking FG - Josh you got 4 downs every drive.

When there are so many Twitter links posted on here the page crashes. Is it just my phone or are other people experiencing the same thing? I can’t get through this thread it keeps crashing on me.

For real. Samuel wasted away in DC - he’s Deebo Samuel light. I’m psyched.

Objectively, I don’t think the prediction is that wild. If both teams’ QB’s stay healthy they will be contenders

I look back on a back like Ray Rice who was a measly 5’8” the dude was +200lbs. Built like a bowling ball. Tyreek Hill is built. He’s thick. His lower body can take a beating bc his legs are thick. Ekeler is 5’9 +200lbs. His legs are as wide as my waist. These dudes are built like bowling balls. There is a pattern in body type that translates to success in NFL. At 165lbs those bones don’t have much meat on them. I cringe just imaging what a hit would feel like from an NFL caliber LB.

Im 5’9” 175ish. Workout regularly. Above average muscle tone. I would die in the NFL. My bones would shatter instantly. 1 hit. Dead.

Adding to that, look at the previous 40 time record holders - basically none of them went on to be successful in the NFL. Being a track star doesn’t automatically translate to NFL success. Outside of Chris Johnson it’s a who’s who of irrelevancy
