That's a little hard to do when the top 3 receivers are RB-TE-RB, with the top WR a DISTANT 3rd behind those three... 😉

And... He puts it up and... IT'S GOOD!!! 17-14 Lions, and a minute left for Baltimore...

Well... Time to put up or shut up right now for Santoso...

PS: I haven't seen enough of Goff to determine if he is a solution or not. What I have seen tells me he's good enough for at least this year and the next couple, but uncertain if he is "the guy" to get us to a Super Bowl. I mean, he's already done it. And I'm not against him. In fact, I've seen a lot of good, and very little bad. You may very well be right in that all of these check downs are for receivers who are not, or can't, get open enough to take those downfield shots. Or it's a confidence issue in his WR's to win those downfield battles and come down with the ball versus losing out to INT's... I would say that I haven't seen enough to make a good judgement call on what he actually is for us... But there are quite a lot of check downs there... I'm still giving him a vote of confidence even despite that...

I agree that he has taken some shots downfield. But very few completions downfield (we are probably at the bottom for "explosion" (more than 20 yards) receiving plays, without actually checking that...). Check down Charlie doesn't mean that he isn't taking some shots downfield but, rather, that the check downs are so overwhelming that it is indicative of (a) lacking receivers, (b) QB lacking either arm strength or downfield accuracy or both, or (c) both a WR & QB problem.

Hard to do. Must finish 6-1 to accomplish that...

That supports what you/we are seeing as check down check down check down... Doesn't it?

Jamaal scored. After review and a reversal of the "short-of-the-goal-line" call...

... Not strike out.

Hittin' Harold... Now is the time to...

YTD Lions receiving leaders (incl today), in catches: Hock - 18 Swift - 17 Williams - 13 Cephus - 8

I also think Aderlin Rodriguez should be given a shot as a backup... Maybe in 2022 of course, too late for this year... Not certain how his fielding is... it could be pretty crappy... And he may have no chance unless Tork is not ready out of ST... Or Miggy retires (after he gets his 3,000-600-500 that is...). He would be 1B/DH/3B/PH'er off the bench backup? Just my 2 cents.

That was a bad sack. Sewell gave that up?

So on that one.. I can get that but... Yeah, on Williams, not certain what they were doing there...

With Trump? BS. The entire world viewed us as a laughing stock. They viewed Trump as a brainless moron who could unleash havoc out of sheer stupidity. THAT's what they feared. But you didn't get that memo, did you?

All based on LIES. Talk about having a good laugh...

Also... the box score showed Swift and Jamaal each losing a fumble... And now... no Lions fumbles at all? Stupid ESPN box score.

And Goff is looking less than average...?

What a stream of BS. The integrity of our election process is NOT in question. Except by a bunch of LYING MF'ERS. States already AUDITED their own voting processes and votes. They have been audited multiple times and in multiple ways. Almost every single state. There is NO QUESTION of integrity in our voting process. NONE. Except by a bunch of LYING MF'ers. Trump is a lying MF'er, and has been for all of his life. And his supporters, who have decided to become as lying a bunch of Trump-sycophants as he is. Their concerns are based on a stream of BS. Their "facts" are a stream of BS. Their LIES about our election integrity are a stream of BS. That's a fact, Jack. CNN and MSNBC are unbiased. They do their best to show both, or multiple points of view. If... they call out Republicans for being a bunch of lying, fascist scumbags... well, that's because Trump has turned this party into a bunch of lying, fascist scumbags. Not interested in their crocodile tears anymore. The only news channels that have made themselves a part of the political system is the lying political right-wing HACKS at FOX, Newsmax, and their ilk. The problem is not election integrity. The problem is not unbiased news sources... The PROBLEM is that the Republican Party, as a whole, has decided to become nothing but Lying MF'ing Fascist Scumbags. They can GFT's. Or maybe that's just me...

Actually... Tork's BA/OPS for September was .267/ .971... Before today. Before a double and HR in his 1st two PA's today (plus whatever else happens the rest of the game...).

I think both Tork and Greene will leave 2022 ST on the 25... unless the team plays with CBA issues for a month or so... But other than that... I can see the team breaking ST with both of them... and just going through the normal "growing pains" of rookies hitting MLB...

Tork with another HR. He's finishing the season strong after hitting a pretty big lull at the end-of-August/start-of-September...

Swift and Jamaal have both lost fumbles? Ewww!

But the Offense gets a "Limp Noodle Bat" deficiency for having no hits...

Peralta gets a Houdini Trophy today after another bases-loaded inning and... no runs allowed.
