    and there it.  "Houston does a great job of playing D without fouling"  Disu has been fouled about 10 times tonight.

    It’s not the refs. This is Men v. Boys.  These teams aren’t in the same stratosphere.

  2. God that was an agonizing gut-punch Lions defeat last night for me.  It was completely out of character for this year's Lions players to choke on really basic things like catching, tackling, and keeping contain over and over and over again the entire second half.  I guess I chalk it up to a complete lack of poise of a young team that had never been under such a bright spotlight.  I think they are set up well for the future but I've been around long enough to know they may well never get back there.  Offseason wish list starts with two NFL-caliber CBs.

    I loved the two fourth down calls, the first one hit Josh Reynolds right in the hands. He catches it and the Lions are going to Las Vegas I think.  But the failed run on third down near the goal line on the Lions' last series was an inexcusable call.  It forced the Lions to burn one of their three timeouts and guaranteed they would never see the ball again.  Major coaching blunder by Dan Campbell/Ben Johnson.  Dammit.

  3. No bandwagon fan here.  I grew up in northern Indiana and the Lions have been my team for 50 years, since I was seven.  They have crushed my hopes over and over but this time it’s 180 degrees different, it is real, and it is built for sustained success.  It’s been a glorious year for me with the Longhorns making the final four too.

    Looks like Raiduhs are going to stick with Pierce. Either brilliance or terrible. I like the concept of HC as leader, driver, organizer. Coordinators can be the x and o guys. Raiders played better for him, had two zero penalty games. Need a qb

    This is the Dan Campbell model.  But Campbell is also a lot smarter than he comes off, you can’t just hire a rah-rah guy who doesn’t know the intricacies of the game.  He is pretty unique.
