Tale of the Tape - Browns @ Lions - Great Lakes Classic
-
................
...................
The numbers tell us that the Lions are a good team. But they said pretty much the same thing for the Packers last week.
Obviously, the area to attack would be their pass D...but they're good at sacking QBs. And our QB is a sitting duck back there...and our OL is not the strength of our team. Somehow, we're going to have to be able to run the ball. We've got to find a way to eat up clock and keep the score down, in order to have another chance to get a win in the 4th quarter. Our D is good, but it's a lot to ask to keep sending Jared Goff off the field without scoring points possession after possession.
C'mon Offense! Get us a win and bring home this exquisite trophy!

Why do I keep thinking Gordon Lightfoot when I see that trophy? Oh yeah, something about the Edmond Fitzgerald.??

We know OL Joel Bitonio returned to practice on Wednesday but three defenders did not practice:
- DT Mike Hall Jr. - Knee - DNP

- DT Shelby Harris - Hamstring - DNP
- OL Joel Bitonio - Back, Rest - Limited

Sank the day after I was born.
No, it wasn't my fault. ?

OK. But if it were, say, 10 months earlier, then, it could've been you...if you believe Near Death Experience people. Or if you believe in an infinite number of universes, then, it was absolutely your fault in at least one of 'em.
...in one of the two ensembles I play in we do, and I sing, Sundown. A handful of years ago Mrs. Wife and I were at a local pizza place (Uncle Tony's) and the song came on the juke box system....back when there were little 25 cent jukes at every booth. I'd always have her rummage for a quarter.
It came on the juke and reminded me that I liked that song, and that it sounded like only a few chords. We played it at the Veterans Home for the vets this past July.

I've got to assume that he won't be suited up this weekend....so in reality, he could've been put on IR and be just about coming off IR....and we could've had another roster spot available all this time.

This game scares me. After just seeing that the Packers took us too lightly, I expect the Lions to be better mentally prepared for the game. I fear a blowout loss.

Here’s your dang map.
https://506sports.com/nfl.php?yr=2025&wk=4
it’s pretty similar to last week’s map. Heavy coverage in the midwest and north central states again. No Alaska this time though. Boo Alaska.
Everyone in Ohio gets the game, except my forsaken homies in Van Wert. Stupid Ft. Wayne broadcast signal…
MI, WI, IA, MN, most of WV, northern KY, IN and IL.
Both Dakotas, most of NE, and there’s a weird little island in northern WY that gets the game, which may or may not include the town of Big Horn, WY.
Which is not to be confused with the Battle of Little Big Horn, which actually took place in south Montana.
You will not be able to watch the Browns game at the Battle of Little Big Horn location unless you are more tech savvy than General Custer.

Watching Murray bring the Cards all the way back to tie the score with only 20 something seconds left had to be totally frustrating when his damn kick then fell short of hitting the landing zone behind the 20 yd line, so Darnold used that starting from the 40 to set up his own kick for the game winning 50+ yd FG. I think lots of kickers have been f'ing up games, not just our own in game 1. Murray looked totally disgusted, especially since on several possessions he was roundly booed before finally tying the score in the last 5 minutes with two TDs.

Going into the fourth game of the season, that's not too bad of an injury report.

Yeah, but we have starters that are out all year. They don't show up on these reports but their absence is felt weekly.

You can bet Dan Campbell will have them watch detailed video on the Packers fiasco and have them eating RBs and QB's every play they are on defense. This is going to be just what you fear Orion. Campbell is the league's best motivator. He came from a small H.S. in Texas and got a scholli at A&M where he was primarily a blocking TE. Repeated that in a long career in the NFL. He obviously knows how to reach into guys and get their best just as he had to do with himself from a background like that. Just watch him on the sidelines all game every time they give you a TV shot of him. He's not a BB kind of coach. He's down in the dirt, talking, encouraging, instructing and sending them out to eat their opponent alive.
