Talking heads pre game "Mahomes can win with anybody"  Talking heads after Lions win "Mahomes really missed Travis Kelce, this game would've been totally different if he played." 

Game would have been different if Jameson Williams suited up.  Tit for Tat

Boys BOYS!!! This is amazing. What a win. 

Some things to clean up and the Chiefs were missing their two key guys (whatever to that though) but they just beat Patrick Mahomes in Arrowhead. 

While this is true, remember the Lions are missing a key player in Jamo and the Refs sure helped the Chiefs OL a lot this game.

Totally.

First today, had a meeting with our new boss letting the on air talent know  "you should be getting more endorsement money and more compensation" which I have never heard a radio boss say in my 37 years in the biz and now this.  Pretty good day.      Time for a gummy..................well, half a gummy.

Yeah, but he got a little too comfortable getting away with it, and pushed the envelope too far.

The happiest non Lions fan is Chris Jones. I think we just made him alot of money. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Who impressed you the most tonight? To me, it was Ragnow and the offensive line as a whole. They looked dominate up front and would have looked even better if Johnson had stayed committed to the run more in the late second and third quarters.

Hutch also really impressed me too. Even though he didn't get a sack, he was a wrecker getting into the backfield and keeping Mahomes on his toes and making him sling the ball out from multiple angles.

You have to wonder if they break down and meet him a lot closer to what he's asking for now.

Any update on Brian Branch? Did he ever come back in the game?

Nice win but I am old.

Thus, nothing will top opening day 1980.

43 Years ago today!

Yes, he was back.  They said he only had a cramp.

On Hutch in particular, he was getting mugged all night.

INSANE!!!!

I’ve never experienced anything like the scene exiting Arrowhead tonight. Lions fans were EVERYWHERE. Embracing, hugging, chanting. Top moment I’ve experienced live in my lifetime.

[MichiganCardinal]

I really didn’t think they could do it. Chiefs fans were leaving when they failed to convert the 4/25 and I was like “you don’t know this team like I do”

5:30am flight back home…. Will I sleep?

[Mr.TaterSalad]

I don't know where else to say this, but I want Mike Evans on this team. I want a big bodied, outside guy who can go up and get contested catches. If there is one dynamic this offense still seems to be lacking it is a good, outside, big-bodied receiving threat. Tampa Bay is going to be awful this year and they need draft capital to rebuild. They should be open to trading him for draft capital.

I want Mike Evans on the Lions.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

It was really encouraging to see Dan Campbell out coach Craig Stadler tonight too. When you can out coach and beat the best coach in the league that is a tip of the cap to Campbell and how he managed the game.

The game against the Seahawks is about to be absolutely crazy. I think Ford Field may reach new volumes and reinvent Seattle’s 12th man.

Seattle's 12th man is  a folk rock concert compared to Ford Field's Spinal Tap up to 11

Couldn't sleep either last night.  Ended up rewatching the 1st quarter with NFL+.  Their right tackle did not line up incorrectly or false start in the 1st quarter.  Hutch really got screwed as the game went on.
