What they get wrong about the Detroit Lions
https://www.prideofdetroit.com/2017/9/20/16339606/what-they-get-wrong-about-the-detroit-lions
I was not surprised, yet still somewhat annoyed, to see the Lions drop in ESPN Power Rankings. It's not surprising considering absolutely no national NFL analysts, outside Peter Schrager of NFLN, actually have watched the Detroit Lions play. All of them, even great analysts like Dan LeBetard, Tony Kornheiser, just spew the same nonsensical talking points that I see on this forum and elsewhere.
Our team was coming together last season when we went on the road and absolutely handled the New Orleans Saints on the road. The next week against the Bears, Stafford dislocated his finger on his throwing hand. If that does not happen there is no doubt in my mind we win the NFC North and make a playoff run. Yet national analysts actually use our playoff loss against Seattle, where Matthew Stafford had a dislocated finger, as evidence that he can't win a playoff game.
Whatever man, I love being the underdog. Even if we go 13-3 this season, and meet the 9-7, 11-5 Packers in the playoffs we'll still be underdogs (and I'd understand why). But as the Lions post game shirts say: DETROIT VS. EVERYBODY.

Your comment just made me realize that a London team would never get a home primetime game. Imagine having to sell out a stadium for a 130 AM game.
The real issue here is why is a match up between 2 2-0 teams, one of which is current NFC Champions getting the 4th broadcast team?
Of course the 0-2 Giants and 1-1 Eagles is worthy of the showcase game of the week.
You know, I actually really like Chris Myers and Daryl Johnston. Probably my favorite commentator duo next to Mike Tirico-Whoever.
Much better than Fox #1 team of Joe Buck but still it is interesting they're not sending there so called #1 team.
Very true. It's not that I want Buck and Aikman just curious as to why it's like 4th game on the list for them.
I guess I should remember it's all about tv market size and not potential good matchups.

If it was a one time a year thing, move it to a Saturday night and the biggest problem would be with public transport and the logistics of having tens of thousands of fans wandering the streets at 4 am rather than selling out the stadium.
Of course, the stadium would be full of fans off their tits after drinking all day and night but that just adds to the atmosphere.

There's a significant ratings desparity between the NFCE and everyone else.

Jets are winning this week. They even suck at tanking.
Where do you see that

Today's no huddle show was talking about the possibility.
It seems like the most Howie thing ever.
I admit I didn't watch the Broncos-Cowboys game fully, but did Troy Aikman call it? I never heard him. He often gets quiet when his team are losing.
I think they did call it, not positive though. I don't mind Aikman it's Joe Buck who is terrible.
No one is as bad as Phil Simms though. I think having him commentate on huge NFL games like the Super Bowl actually hurts ratings.
NFL Network, ESPN, CBS, Fox etc. really hurt the TV product by putting out shitty commentators like Phil Simms or Rex Ryan just because they're former NFL players or coaches. It's nice if someone has actually played the game, and I like guys like Gruden or Madden, but the vast majority of the play by play guys or pre game show guys are terrible at their jobs.
It's something that the NFL should be concerned about considering they may lose $200 Million in advertising revenue if ratings continue to drop.

I do think a lot of the doom and gloom about the NFL is overstated but the NFL should be concerned about its TV product and how it's presented.

I have literally never considered or cared who calls a packers game. they usually say what I'm telling my wife like 10 seconds later or not at all. I don't think I've ever listened to the box and thought, wow, that did a good job!
tl;dr why is this something you care about?
our line with two replacement tackles honestly played better than some other teams healthy lines. Kevin King seemed to play better and better as the game went on. Hopefully the Packers have found their new top CB.

Market size and ratings.
How reliable are these guys?
He can't be any worse against the pass than Seumalo was pass blocking. I think 4 out of the 6 sacks were his fault. At least Chance might create a whole or two.
In hell with a parka after it freezes over.
On the field or is some fan reenact Silver Linings Playbook in the parking lot?
both
Jeff McLane ✔@Jeff_McLane
Other players on offense are confirming that Chance Warmack will replace Isaac Seumalo at LG.
Chance is getting a chance!

It's Joe Giglio, Eliot Shorr-Parks and Matt Lombardo. Not sure how reliable they are. But it sounded more like what they think will happen based off the bills shopping shady and Howie being desperate to undo every move chip made.
Howie isn't gonna take on Shady's contract.

Only a $5.5m cap hit this year.
We don't have picks we can really part with either. Unless they're going to take like a 5th.

Get fucked, Jerry.

Tried out VR today for the first time at a VR studio. Wasn't mainly games, played around with the location/mapping/3D model stuff.
I'll say I'm sold on VR not just the gaming stuff but the real world applications. I'll be keeping a eye on it.

I played Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes in on Gear VR and it was fantastic. Waiting for the next gen of Oculus/Vive before deciding whether to jump in or not, but the tech is definitely cool.
As for Myles, dude needs to put his pride to one side and take his time coming back. Better to miss an extra couple of games now than to return to early, plenty of time to make it back on the road to 8-8.

A proper NFL Blitz style game in VR would be killer, even if you're restricted to QB only.
So a Norv Turner simulator then?
You and I should be friendsBest Gif ever?
So you're saying his chances are better than 8-8?
