We All Need to Come Together

And keep RJ from getting too excited after the Lions smackdown of the Chiefs. We don't want him making Super Bowl reservations this early.
Just messing with you RJ. Congrats on the big win.

Dear RJ,
It was a good game, but Chris Jones and Travis Kelce did not play. The Chiefs WRs also forgot to catch the ball. The Lions will be good this year so I'm happy for you, but I wouldn't buy Super Bowl tickets yet. Hopefully for your sake, I am wrong. Sincerely, AK

RE: We All Need to Come Together
For me, I had no skin in the game. But what I saw was poor officiating. So many missed calls and then they call Montgomery for tripping, after getting plastered and falling backwards. The Chiefs (LT I think) literally did a high kick to prevent the defender from getting to Mahomes; yet no call for tripping??? Also, all of the false starts that weren't called was BS. Officials need to be officiated these days. I just want to see two teams play hard without the game going one way or another because of a poor call.

I guess we should just go full flag football from now on. No need for helmets or pads anymore. (09-08-2023, 10:07 AM)akaus Wrote: Dear RJ,LOL, thanks everyone ... I've actually been on the "slow your roll" train as far as my fellow Lions fans go for a while now. Am I excited that it looks like the team finally has a plan and a clue? Certainly! And last night was awesome. But the reality is, Detroit is coming off a 9-8 season and no playoffs. It certainly looks like they got better through the draft and free agency, but agreed, let's focus on winning "ah" playoff game or heaven forbid a division title before anyone makes Super Bowl plans. Plus, last night was one of the very, very few games that all of the Lions' projected starting offensive linemen have played together since Sewell was drafted in 2021. So, you know, injuries ... but yeah, a solid night all around.

RE: We All Need to Come Together
I agreed with the pass interference call, as the defender prevented the WR from stopping to catch the ball. It is called the Aaron Rodgers rule...underthrow the ball so you get interference called when the receiver tries to come back to the ball.
But, yes, the lack of calls when penalties did occur was laughable. P.S. I don't expect the Vikings to do as well as last year's record, but they will down the Lions.

Lions end up 1-16! (As rj would put it) cause you know Lions gonna Lions! Now if the Lions do well, I'll just attribute that to QB coach Mark Brunell LOL
