Detroit At Pittsburgh

[Motor City Sonics]

The defense, bad as it is, should punch the office right in the mouth.

So close.

[Sports_Freak]

My pick for their 1st win is still alive. Chicago...Turkey Day. Book it.

I'm not sure how to feel after this game. I haven't seen a game like this in a while.

and you couldn't put the other QB in just to throw the HM?

They won't be 0-17.  I'll take it.

Maybe not the 'O' players but maybe the 'O' coaching staff.

Clearly no one here has seen Bad News Bears and knows they're about to win eight straight.

[Motor City Sonics]

The kicker should be released.

They were at their own 38. That's 62 yards, plus the drop back plus the depth in the end zone. You're looking at over 70 yards in the air. I don't know what kind of arm Blough has, but I doubt it's 70+ yards.

I feel like that's a recipe to throw an arm out in conditions like these.

They'll never use Carmen as their team music.

He likely will be.

true, they never even warmed him up despite Goff being treated on the sidelines through the course of the game. Makes no sense to me, but it's the Lions, you can't expect it to make sense.

And why would they care if they did? If not today they obviously can't have any intention of ever using him?!

Because Matthew Stafford couldn't even throw a 70+ yard hailmary.

it a one in thousand shot - it doesn't matter if you throw it all the way the end zone - but the further the better.

tuned in late in thw 4th; never laughed so much during a football game in my life

A hook and latter is also a one in thousand shot and probably more likely. 

[Motown Bombers]

They could have tried a quick hitter to the sideline for 10 yards. Maybe 60 yards is within Blough's range.

For Steelers fans, this tie must feel like a filthy brother-ugly stepsister scene.

 I think everyone can agree that Goff is terrible and will not be part of the future plans.   I am confused at why they keep trotting him out there and not giving Blough a shot.  Look, I don’t think he will do any better with the talent on offense but why not try something different.   Even today with Goff banged up they still stick with him. Do not get it at all.    
 

When Boyle gets healthy they really need to give him a look to see if they have anything more than a backup.     I doubt that will happen though the way Campbell has his head in the sand when it comes to Goff.

Because Blough is worse than Goff. I guess we all forgot 2019 when Blough had Marvin Jones and Kenny Golladay and was still worse than Goff. I trust Campbell on the dynamics of the locker room. If Campbell thinks benching Goff in favor of an inferior QB will spark the team, than do it.

Did anyone tape the game or have the ability to replay it?

On the Steelers opening series - the one where the Lions were called for pass interference - I swear the Lions defensive back clearly intercepted the ball! Was I seeing things? Did the ball hit the ground and I missed it? Did anyone else notice this?
