Week Two: Washington Commanders (1-0) @ Detroit Lions (0-1)

[djhutch]

I love that this happens to another team.  That was such a Lions-esque move!

[Jason_R]

Maybe they can recover an onside kick, score a TD, then make the three point conversion. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Will Harris proves yet again he can't play in man coverage.

[CMRivdogs]

DC screwed themselves by going for two in the third quarter...

[sabretooth]

Bwahahahaaa!!!! The Commandos are so Lionesque

Smart move by Goff to not throw it incomplete

[djhutch]

You gotta catch that interception

[Jason_R]

When is the last time the Lions had six sacks?

[djhutch]

Ball Game!  Nice job answering those Washington scores.  On to Minny!!

Nice game. There's no way they were going to repeat the first half, but anytime you can put up a 22-0 half, you've given yourself enough of a runway to pretty much guarantee a win. 

[Motown Bombers]

Once again the offense went through a stretch where they had multiple 3 and outs and Washington's offense started to get in a rhythm.

[sabretooth]

The offense was dominating.  Awesome performance.

The D faded in the 2nd half, and may have been hampered by Hutch's bad ankle in the 2nd half...hopefully the ankle is OK.

[sabretooth]

Another great O Line performance despite injuries.

[Motor City Sonics]

I walked away when DC scored to make it 22-15.  Just came back now. 

I was getting really woolly from all the stress so I cleaned up my garage.  

Glad they held on.

Its concerning, but as long as they did enough to win, I can't complain. If they didn't have stretches where they looked bad, they'd be the greatest team of all time. 

[holygoat]

They won the must-win game. I think fans would've started to turn on Campbell had they not held on to win. Second half was frustrating, but they did enough right in the first half to cover for it.

[Motor City Sonics]

I am watching now. 

Contract year for Hockenson?      He's not helping himself.  He's costing himself some money with every drop.  Terrible receiving game for him.  Blocked well, however

[Motor City Sonics]

Tom Brady just got beat up by 4 Saints that jumped on him and started punching him.   There is an ambulance and a priest on the field.  It's crazy, man. 

[buddha]

spending big money to retain an average tight end would be almost as dumb as spending big money to retain a center.  

[Motor City Sonics]

I just saw the 2 point conversion.   Do you think the 29 on the scoreboard just confused Rivera?

you mean oft-injured center? 

[Jason_R]

Don’t look now, but through two weeks the Lions are tied with KC for most points scored with 71. And the passing game is still not totally in sync.

Our OL isn't even healthy. This is unexpected. But enjoyable.

The injuries happened after he signed the contract. The only injury before the contract was a broken throat.
