Leave it to the lions to make history in a loss. Losing history. History of losing. That’s the Lions for ya.

I would have lost that bet.  48-47, yes, I remember that as a kid, on MNF,  48-45 I would have thought, sure.

Watched 49ers over Rams last night, 24-9.

Until the niners pulled away and their praise shifted to Deebo Samuels, the announcers fawned all over Aaron Donald with an intensity usually reserved for QBs. “Donald is such a beast eating up DOUBLE and even TRIPLE teams he frees up the rest of the defense to do so much!”

If you’re facing a DT that dominant is the damage done more to the running game? But for passing the QB can be put into shotgun and focused on shorter quick strike routes, which is the offense often orchestrated around journeyman QBs like Jimmy G anyway?

Donald is a great player, but the 9ers defense was better

Man considering the Rams front office mortgaged the future for this team - it's not boding well methinks.Ya got your Hardware but a couple of runs should be a forgone conclusion and right now it doesn't appear so

hey at least they got a super bowl out of it. I'd love to see the Lions mortgage the future just once go all in and try to actually win something. kudos for the Rams for trying to win- they pulled it off.

CBS Sports latest 2023 mock draft….do the people that work there smoke meth? 

They have QB Will Levis going #1 overall to Seattle and QB Anthony Richardson going #3 overall to Atlanta. LOL. Serious question- is Richardson even draftable?

Bryce Young doesn’t go til #12 to the Giants, CJ Stroud til #6 to Carolina- LOL. Both those guys will be gone top 3. And they have the Lions taking a CB that I’ve never even heard of at #9 overall. Lions won’t be drafting that high- this team sucks- and they need defensive lineman and LB’s way more than they need another CB.

It looks like straight up potential is all the rage for QBs again. IMO Josh Allen caused people to lose their minds (in another universe, Allen is traded post year 2 and is a career backup getting little snaps/development in his next team - the Bills to their credit were very patient most teams aren't). Kyle Boller and Jake Locker might go 1-2 in next year's draft. 

I never thought Richardson looked like a pro QB but good for him I guess.

Al Michaels: sometimes a game is so bad that its good 

Kirk: No.

I mean how many current top QBs were drafted at the top of their draft?  Hell Josh Allen was drafted higher than Brady, Rodgers, Lamar, Dak, Jalen Hurts, Cousins, Garapolo, Russell Wilson, etc...

You need your QB, but it seems like front offices aren't great at identifying them

How did Russell Wilson get so bad, so fast?  And will John Elway ever not chase a past his prime QB?

Yeah it is kind of shocking to see Wilson struggle so badly. He’s not that old. You thought he had another 5+ high level years out of him. Guess not. 

Elway continues to whiff on every QB he brings into Denver with the exception of Peyton Manning.  

[FearlessF]

I'm guessing the offense around Wilson isn't great
Just his first season in this offense

he's probably lost a step scrambling, so the O-line
and he's gotta have viable targets

I haven't watched him much in Orange, just one game.
Is he making bad throws and bad decisions
