I didn’t even know we had a guy named Agude. 

He was working at the PotBelly on the Hill in Allen Park last week.

Really unfortunate to settle for another FG attempt.  It’s good.  13-0. 

[Motor City Sonics]

Fake FG coming?

[lordstanley]

A little bit like the Thanksgiving game so far. Total domination of the 1st quarter, but 1 for 3 in the red zone means no blowout yet. 

[TP_Fan]

This is starting exactly like the last bears game.  FGs instead of TDs.  Can’t let them stick around. 

[Toddwert]

Just win the game and have no one else get injured .. dont care about style points at this point in the season

[TP_Fan]

Games like this really highlight the need for home field advantage.  Goff is awesome, but when he has a glove on and it’s good it really limits his ability.

Commanders down 14-7 now.  Pickett throws and INT and commanders punch it in.  If hurts doesn’t come back I like the commanders chances. 

[Hongbit]

Goff not quite as sharp as normal in the cold.  He’ll settle in soon.

[TP_Fan]

Nice job again defense!  Bears forced to punt. Let’s put together a soul crushing 6 min drive running it down their throat.   Leave no doubt.

I bet that ball is hard to hold on to today.  Looks like the air is very dry.  Not seeing the players' breath, must mean there is no moisture out there.   Ever try to open a produce bag at the store when your fingers are dry?

Saquan rips off a 68 yard run with the box stacked.  Come on commanders.

Yes, very frustrating during Covid with masks on, unable to wet our finger first.

This looks like the Thanksgiving game, but feels different.

The Bears don’t want to be here.

[TP_Fan]

Or a quick dagger to the heart.   I'll take either.

It's too bad that Goff doesn't have the arm to hit Jaymo over the top. Oh well...

[lordstanley]

Jared Goff chant comes in loud and clear during extra point attempt. 

[Motown Bombers]

Goff with that sneaky arm strength. He's like the Ramon Santiago of the Lions. 

[Motor City Sonics]

Keep laying it on, man.  Don't let them breathe like Thanksgiving.  

 

Wind at their backs now

[Motor City Sonics]

Why do people think Goff does not have a strong arm?      Yes, the wind is at his back now, but I don't understand that.   Might not be as strong as Stafford, but Stafford had a massive arm. 

[KnoxP]

That’s all the taunting you need!

its good enough not every pass needs to be an arm punt
