NFL '24-25- lots of potential, any reality?

Just saw the safety and wow was that an awful non-call.

Hopefully now they will allow the video assist to call obvious penalties as opposed to just overturn obvious bad penalties. Seems kind of stupid to have a system to overturn a penalty but not call one. The only view that didn't show a face mask was the one from the ref behind them- every other one showed it. JUST LIKE had he got the shoulder pads, and they called a face mask, that call would have been overturned by video assist.

The ending of that Bears/Commanders game was wonderful.

I missed most of the game, but do sacks count against passing yards?

When I saw the score, I was worried they ran up the score, but the only trick play was to make sure a TE got a TD on TE day.

Yes sacks count against passing yards. He took 4 sacks for -33(?).

Sacks don’t count as negative rushing or passing yards in the NFL. Only college do they count as negative rushing yards.

Edit: You’re right. Sacks count against a team’s passing yards (doesn’t make any sense) in the NFL, but not the individual player’s stats. So if Goff threw for 85 yards, that’s what he threw for. Looks like the Lions had 61 total passing yards.

Yeah it is weird how they total the stats. I thought sacks counted against rushing yards of the QB, maybe it did at some time in the past. Idk. Just thought it was funny that they passed for under 100 yards and still had 4 passing TDs, 3 Goff, one Montgomery.

More fun stats - they had more rushing yards (164) than passing yards (61). Yards per play was 6.8 rushing to 4.9 passing. Return yards 72 on kickoffs, 190 punt return yards (with 1 TD).

today was Detroit's first game outside. In their 8th game. And the weather was windy, rainy and miserable.

Thankfully, the Lions are really good at running. And have a nice lead in the NFC North.

Trying to decide if the Lions won that game or Green Bay lost it.

I felt GB “won” the first half. Moved the ball better, just kept stalling out past midfield while racking up a million penalties.

Second half was trying to play catch-up while the Lions dominated the ground. Didn’t realize until they threw that stat up the Lions are over 50% on 4th down conversions under Campbell.
