    Finally get underway tonight. Still wondering how many games Backstrom will miss. They're saying only 4 or 5 now. Might not be a bad thing to let Kuznetsov play with Ovie and Oshie a few games.

    Their D was always going to be an issue this year if they can't stay healthy. Obviously Letang is great if he's playing, but if the bug hits him like it has in the past, it gets real dicey beyond their top 2 or 3 D.

    It's not just the Lions that are affected though. The defending NFC Champion is 2-2 instead of 1-3, only 1 game out of first in their division, and it's a conference win (or possible loss) which is the first tie breaker for the wild card if the teams in question didn't play head to head.

    Shit, late hits are usually inconsequential to the play, but we still call them. Great injustice as far as the result of this game is perfectly legit. Ball on the half yard line? Likely taking the lead, in almost all scenarios at worst a field goal to tie the game up.

    Should have been called. Lions get ball 1st and goal inside the 1. Let the lines decide the outcome. Likely at worst would be a tie game with Seattle possibly having time to take the lead again.

    To be clear, I wasn't trying to claim he was a "clean" player before the last couple years, just that he's had a number of high profile incidents after the whole "targeting the head" focus that seem to get progressively worse and dumber. A hit like this in preseason is just beyond stupid.

    Good. It's a shame because Torres can actually play hockey, but he's been acting like a fucking goon the last couple years with the stupid shit.

    I don't get why not one guy can just be like, forcing the fumble was a great play, but then the refs missed a call and the Lions should have had another shot.

    Just preseason but Caps are pretty much slaying all comers. Ovechkin doing what Ovechkin does, Oshie looks good. Between him and Kuznetsov in the shootout we'll be sick if games get past 3v3 somehow

    Marino had numbers that were simply staggering though compared to other passers of that time, Rodgers efficiency numbers are at a level we haven't seen but the pure passing stats he'll be elite but not that far ahead of his contemporaries (or Farve/Manning/etc). I do feel like watching him that...

    I just meant the 61 straight interceptions. Don't get me wrong, Rodgers Int % and TD/Int ratio are ridiculous (I know for a fact his TD/Int ratio is GOAT). I'm not sure he can be called GOAT at the position yet though without at least one more ring. He still has a lot of time though, and his...

    Kirk is easy for the stat monkeys. In 2 wins this year, no picks, in 2 losses this year, 4 picks (2 in each game). He did break that streak of having lost 9 consecutive starts when throwing the ball 30+ times though
