Game Thread: Lions vs Chiefs. Thursday night season opener.

[armadillooutlaw]

There is a word that i know from Wrestling. Used alot in 2003-04

Manster. Half Man/Half Monster

That describes Hutchinson tonight.......................

And the Lions OL

That was the great Randy White's nickname.

I am thrilled with Hutchinson in that game. Chiefs did everything but penetrate is ass and he still got 3 QB hits. If anyone else on the dline shows up he will have monster year.

James Houston probably is the NFL career leader in sacks per game right now. He doesn’t completely jump out at you but he always gets there at some point.

Never know that.

I am glad Branch was only Cramps. No contact I assumed his year was done

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

Oh I don't disagree. The Lions earned it. I'm just laughing at Denver fan for talking all that smack AFTER the game was over. Trolls gonna troll...

Just remind him how many draft picks they gave up for Russ

Benito Jones stuck with some plays for a long time, making tackles downfield.

Never going to be a big pass rusher, but he had a strong effort tonight imo.

Always seems to get there, and through the Preseason he showed huge improvement in Pass Coverage so they can get him in at some LB as well

and a top 5 too

Best Lions trade ever

Working out well for both teams.

I don’t miss Kelly Stafford that’s for sure.

Also mention how Geno Smith made Russ look bad.

I am curious if all his issues really came from the terrible coach. Big year for Russ

Rare both teams are winners trade. Rams got a SB, Lions got a very good QB and some draft capital that helped the turaround.

It would be cool to see that nickname used again. Hutch could pull it off.

Good point

Goff has been better than I expected, but I am still always surprised when his good play continues. I can't seem to get past my own bias on this one

He's done this before. He was excellent 2017-2018 as well. Just has to have the talent around him.

Goff looks good. Most of his completions were dimes in heavy coverage.

He was extremely decisive.

I like this Detroit team, one of of the better teams they’ve had in a long time … They should make the playoffs …
