Big stop there. You can't go into halftime down two touchdowns with as lackluster as Goff has looked for most of the game.

Damn, Will Harris a step behind and gets burnt.

Sorry, I thought you were questioning running as a play call, not when they chose to snap the ball. You're right, snapping it to run a play before the warning was dumb.

We needed that. We're right back in this game now.

Because you just need to get the first down there. That is the priority, pickup the first.

If you're on the draft Bryce Young or CJ Stroud bandwagon it sure looks mighty enticing at least very, very early on in the season.

Jared Goff is all kinds of awful right now.

I thought it was Ben Johnson.

Goff does not look good right now.

It's officially Lions football season now with the first complaint about offensive playcalling.

Hurts with two nice runs early.

WOW, what a great, sustained opening drive. If something is working don't go away from it until the other team proves they can stop it. Right now, we're running the football with ease and controling time of possession and the line of scrimmage with it. I hope this keeps up! Keep pounding the football at Philly until they show they can stop our running game.

Down at Ford Field today. This is the most cautiously excited and optimistic I've been for a Lions season since 2015 when I thought like a fool they'd build on the success of 2015. I expect big improvements for our young core this season and hope we see real growth from our rookIe, second, and third year players.

WaPo: The shadow stalking Democrats’ improving numbers: Can polls be trusted?

We are talking about the accuracy of polling data and whether or not Democrats should rely on it as a good indicator. Sure, Dobbs may well throw everything out the window and flip the script on the midterms. It's also true that polling has ticked up big time since Dobbs. I hope the Dobbs decision does cost Republicans and Democrats come out victorious across the country. But there is still the fact that state-level polling has been off in certain places for several cycles. Yes, you are correct, it is has primarily, but not always, been when Trump was on the ballot. Polls showing Bill Nelson and Andrew Gillum winning Florida in 2018 are examples of that.

2020 was 6 years ago? I know time flies during the pandemic, but I didn't realize it was 2026 already.

And yet even in 2018 there were examples of state-level polling in Senate, Congressional, Gubernatorial, and State Legislative races where Democrats underperformed what the state polls showed. It isn't about being miserable, it's about having realistic expectations that pollsters still have been struggling to capture the total Republican vote share and produce more accurate, state-level polling. You can both be realistic in your assessment of polling and committed to making sure Democrats get the wins that polls say they'll get, even if you are skeptical of said polling.

We've outperformed in polls before at the state level and lost. Just ask Russ Fiengold, Katie McGinty, Sara Gideon, Steve Bullock, Bill Nelson and on.

I'm really not sold on any of the state polling yet either. There have been serious errors in state-level polling for several cycles yet. I'm encouraged to a degree by improved polling for Democrats, but not ready to fully trust any of it.

Let's say the Eagles do drop 41 on us. That likely means multiple TDs from their receiving trio of Brown, Smith, and Goedert and a bad day at the office for our defensive backfield. You look at last years offense after week one and we were all jumping off a cliff in panic given how bad it looked. Then, by season's end, the offense had made big improvements and had clearly become the stronger of the two units. Does Philly dropping 40 on us in week one tell us that this defense, more specifically this secondary, is going to be awful again as a unit? Is the talent level such that we can accurately asses how average or bad this defense will be from one week of football?

In my subdivision there are 2 "Fuck Biden" flags I have seen in front of people's homes and 1 Let's Go Brandon flag flying. I cannot understand why Joe Biden can't unite these people with the rest of us. Just can't seem to figure it out.

It's purely a nonsensical delay tactic by Trump's legal team. They know their guy is fucked and appointing a Special Master just delays, but does not end, the DOJs investigation and (potential) criminal charges by the DOJ. The Special Master does not change anything in the facts of the case and will not get him off the hook on a thing.

Lots of talent at WR and TE with Brown, Smith, and Goedert plus Gainwell and Sanders catching the ball out of the backfield. I'm not sure that Miles Sanders is worth a damn, but he keeps getting the hype as if he's a good player. I don't know that we have the guys in the secondary needed to cover Brown, Smith, and Goedert.

From the article above . . . Karamo’s ex-husband, Adom Karamo, claimed that the candidate threatened to kill their daughters, now 13 and 14, in documents seeking parenting time with their daughters after the marriage ended, filed in Michigan family court in 2021. Adom described an alleged incident in which he was driving the whole family, and Karamo “attempted to wrestle control of the vehicle” from him and “crash it.” He claimed that she said, in the moment, “Fuck it, I’ll kill us all.”
