Kolek planning to go pro
Different team same Mike McCarthy, passes up a FG to tie with about 5 minutes left in the game. No one scores again, and the Cowboys lose.
It was with almost 12 minutes left in the game. I'm not saying it was the right call, but I don't think it was THAT bad.
Lions doing Lions things.
Wow, dropping the winning TD pass. I had to yell out a scream and I am not even a Lions fan.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Ditto.I believe my words were, "You're fu@#in' kidding me!"
The first thing that crossed my mind was oh no, poor Tower.The Lions truly do lose games in the weirdest, most heartbreaking ways.
Didn't see the game. I have seen the replays. Same old, same old. Gotta indoctrinate those rookies into the culture early.
I had the same thought. It’s not bad enough to blow a 17 point lead late. Then you drive down the field and have a game-winning TD pass dropped. Lions should trademark these ways to lose.
How do you trademark infinity? It isn't that they lose. They will. No one ever went broke betting against the Lions. It is the infinite variety. If a single loss like this happened to... the Cowboys.....Patriots..... Packers.... it would be talked about for a decade in bars. In Detroit, it is just week 1. Something like this happens at least once every year. Golden Tate scores a touchdown against Atlanta. It is overturned by an inch and because it happened in the last 10 seconds, there is a runoff and the game ends. The Lions miss the playoffs by a game and Caldwell gets fired. Calvin Johnson not finishing the process. The only PI flag ever picked up in a playoff game. Ya gotta embrace the stink. Not take it personally. Marvel at the ability to dream up these stranger than fiction ways to lose. Appreciate the sublime greatness for what it is.
I have lived in Michigan since 1971. West side of the state. I was just near your mom's youthful stomping grounds.
Swift dropped a grand total of ZERO passes his final season as Georgia. Welcome to the Lions, kid.
Week 2, the more subtle part of the Lion's curse... already auditioning DBs off the street due to injuries. Lion's DB is the Spinal Tap drummer of NFL football.
