Official Game Thread - Preseason Week 2 - Commander @ Lions

[Voice_of_Reason]

I do too but sometimes we need to settle. I'll settle for a game changing defense for now.

I wanted to make a joke about not settling on something but I just couldn’t figure it out…. I feel ashamed that was pretty set up and I couldn’t hit it….

Im pretty confident that if the O line had not been crap JD 5 would have got more snaps. Much as I think he and the starters need more time there is no way you keep him in after that 1st series.

Quinn said they would get a series no matter what.

And that’s what happened.

Right now the lions fans are doing the same thing we're doing except its dobbs/altmyer instead of hartman/AK.

Its just what coaches do, they tend to play their quarterbacks in the preseason in order of experience and seniority.

I am glad I didn’t spring for more nickel and diming from the NFL to watch this live. The game thread here talking about how the OL looks is stressing me out enough as it is.

(It is ridiculous though that Sunday Ticket doesn’t include preseason games without the NFL+ add on.)

Brought something exotic there, 2 guys off of the defensive right, dropped other guys. Looked like a blitz but it was a 4 man pressure.

I doubt he envisioned 3 and out with JD having no time. Other than recognizing the OL needs work they gained nothing from trotting him out there.

Missed it wide right.

Im a fucking idiot and just ordered youtubetv and nfl sunday ticket and got nfl plus for this nonsense.

Im weak I can't help it.

2 min drill for AK in coming!

Whether he envisioned it or not, I don’t think he was going to change his mind. He didn’t last year either.

They could (and maybe did?) keep the OL out there without Daniels, McLaurin and Diggs.

I am trying to figure out how to watch games this year. I’m actually at my parents now because they still have Verizon. I did YouTube TV last year, it was miserable. About 20-30 seconds behind and expenseive.

I’m considering signing up for Verizon basic cable for 4 months. We still use them for internet.

 

[Voice_of_Reason]

If you’re going to do a backflip in celebration, you better damn well land it and not fall on your ass. #LionsFail.

Oh well, so much for that.

 

[Voice_of_Reason]

Why the hell is Hartman back out there again?

What in the hell?

 

[Voice_of_Reason]

The press needs to get physical with Quinn over his decision to play Hartman. I mean, we need to get some NY reporters down here to rough him up.

This is deplorable. I will be writing an essay about this in the Dan Quinn thread. And maybe organizing an insurrection.

They're rage-baiting the fanbase

It wasn't as bad as advertised.
You see the reports of nfl sunday ticket being 480 bucks but it was only 200 which isn't terrible.

I thought about getting the standalone service but I know there are going to be plenty of nationally televised games and Sunday and monday night games im gonna watch so I bit the bullet and got youtubetv as well.

Unfortunately I dont have the option of just ordering cable because I don't live in the local market.
Ill cancel after the season is over.

They’re succeeding.

 

[Voice_of_Reason]

Ok, gang. I’m out. One half of preseason football and being aggravated about OL play and Quinn’s dedication to hairdo is all I’m able to handle in one weekend.

Everybody have a good time with the second half!
