Mr.TaterSalad

His defense may be one of the worst in the league again. Yikes!

What the hell was that? I get we can't stop anyone today, but still . . .

TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!

Goff had Chark open downfield that he could have went to there.

Our interior defensive line is terrible!!!

Brutal penalty to take.

Burning a time out there. That sucks!

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.
