Glasgow was questionable too. Mahogany may make his starting debut.

I'd be fine with that. As much as I hate load management in the NBA, I wish we could afford load management for the Lions' entire offensive line. It feels like Glasgow, Ragnow and Decker are just hanging on, really could use a bye.

I’m sure he’s been playing hurt but Glasgow has been horrible for the past few weeks.

Campbell always brings his rookies up slowly. He develops the guys before throwing them into the fire.

This is how you run a Super Bowl caliber roster. Players do their learning in practice and not during games.

I am eager to see Mahogany. I think he is a maniac and will be very hard to play against.

The Rams pay Jonah Jackson $51 million and bench him by week 11.

The Lions let Jackson walk and pick up a 6th round rookie who is climbing the depth chart despite having mono and being out for all of training camp.

I think tomorrow might be my Dan Miller game. I try to just listen to one a year. Better for the blood pressure, and he’s the best in the business.

With the other two being Monday Night and at home, it’s probably my last realistic chance.

Road games sometimes are easier to take as a fan on the radio. Unless the crowd mic is turned up way up, the home field advantage seems so less pronounced than when I’m forced to see the uniforms and stands with my own eyes, lol.

Comments on that Lions' X thread are saying that the reason Brandon Joseph got waived is because he was charged with DUI last night.

I have a crappy feeling about this game for some reason.

We really need to somehow win this last 3 games and get that Bye.

Don't get too down.  The Bears are a mess.  They're even worse than when they had Eberflus.     I do wish Monty was playing, however. 

 

Waiting to get news about Jared Goff falling down some stairs or something. 

[Hongbit]

They have to win this one for Andy! 

He’s been fighting cancer for some time and it sounds like he’s getting near the end.  #FTB

Wow, what a stupid way to flush your career down the toilet, Brandon Joseph.       If he was a star this would have not been the same result, but it certainly sends a message to the young players, doesn't it?  

Iffy's return was probably part of it too.      

 

Guys, you're all rich.  You're all making six figures,  call a freaking Uber.    Get a freaking Limo.     Won't the NFL even pay for rides home for the players?

Make the movie. Ryan Gosling plays Jared Goff. Dan Campbell plays himself. 

Better make that movie in a hurry, ‘cause Ryan Gosling is 44.

It’s fair to put the onus on Bears players only if they have a lot of potential they are not living up to, and they’re being coached up to at least an acceptable level. If they are doing the best they can but they simply are not NFL material, that’s on the front office.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Is Iffy going to play or is this one of those Mosley situations where he is activated but still doesn't see the field?

[MichiganCardinal]

Changed my mind drastically last night. Will be taking this game in from a Lions sponsored watch party in London, Ontario, Canada. 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 

[MichiganCardinal]

Glasgow is out, only real surprise. Iffy is active.

[Hongbit]

Go Lions, Eh!  

[Shinzaki]

Iffy blitzing in the dime package could make life even harder for Caleb

[MichiganCardinal]

There are two lines to get into this watch party. Real feel in London is -9F.

Both lines have wrapped around the arena and met on the other side. Gates don’t open for another ten minutes.

Lions Fever is spreading worldwide.

What does active really mean though? Will he play?
