NFL 2023-24. Now without Dan Snyder!

I’m happy for the Lions fans, but I’m far from convinced by the team. That should not have been a one possession final score.

Just like the rest of the season, the big concern for the Lions is the secondary. If they could manage to get one or two more seconds of good coverage, the rush should be a lot more successful. Let alone being able to knock out some of those bail out passes that make big yards. They have clearly improved since the beginning of last season, but IMHO, it's what will hold the team back from real playoff success.

The offense lost something for a while, but it's getting back. Not all the way, but way better than some of those losses.
 
Tonight I went into MNF down 84.02-43.4

I had Sam Howell as my QB, Kupp, Jeudy, and Dallas. ESPN had me as something like 75% chance to lose.

I had only Mccaffrey, Aiyuk, and Likely left.

watching the stat cast on my phone, every time the 49ers did something that didn't involve Mccaffrey or Likely, my @ chance would drop 5-10%. By the end, every play would swing the odds 25%.

I won 85.28-84.02. I just need to survive stats corrections and I'm back in the Super Bowl.
 
That shows how little I pay attention to the NFL. Kupp is the only name from your post I recognized on my own, McCaffery I knew only becasue one of the kids was discussing his FF team results with me today and I thought he was a WR.

I think sean has not like russ once he learned more about him and his play (and his relationship with the team). So while russ has played better than last year, it's not what he wants. Especially since he's supposed to be a QB guru, which hasn't done much to russel.

So to bail the most economically way from the long term contract....

It's pretty funny how teams have been singing players to really long term contracts before they actually played for the team. And then they are stuck with a massive bill and the team still sucks.
 
Ugh. Just torture. So close to be great. But so aggravatingly not. It's amazing the game is this close considering how up and down the Lions have played tonight. The secondary is just not there yet. And some of the play calling- it's either predictable or the pass is hard to make when you can't stop a drive. I know Ben Johnson is doing an amazing job. Yet there are some Goff gaffes that are partially play calling.

So close, but so far away. Hope is hard to have when you can't close it out.

Torture.

edit- they just showed the replay where the refs totally screwed the Lions. Totally and utterly screwed the Lions. One of the worst calls ever.

If you are wondering, the Lions drove and scored. Going for two, a lineman clearly reported to the ref- you could see him walk over to the ref, and the ref went to the dallas line and told them (they showed this in a replay). The lineman then caught a pass to score a go ahead 2 point conversion. And they called illegal touching on him.

Dallas also got away with a pretty obvious PI or at least illegal contact prior to the TD. The Lions got penalized for good defense and a pass that was nowhere near close- called illegal contact. Just so frustrating to be so close and not, AND having the refs make obvious calls against them.

I heard the wrong player reported. So, where's the discrepancy?

The replay clearly showed that lineman reporting to the ref. The ref missed it. There was no other reason for him to walk over to the ref, which he and one other player did. And apparently the ref thought the guy running in from the sideline was the only one.

This was all of the ref screwing up.
