Home opener. Detroit Lions. Hopefully a non-eventful win. Then again you have to look at Detroit’s home opener last week for a game that got away. And if this was the previous regime, this is a game that the team would usually fall well short of expectations. Are we that team anymore?
I’d like to be sure we aren’t but that’s why the play the game, as they so oftenly say. We are getting dinged up pretty decently so far what with Goodwin out, 2 guards out, Coyle out, and Jimmy G coming off a shit game. It’ll at least be interesting to see how he reacts to his less-than-stellar performance last week and if he gets a little less dangerous with his passes.
Any given Sunday and all that, but it looks like Patricia is already in over-his-head mode. All I know is Deetroit really pushed to upgrade their running attack, and the Jets, 24th in the league vs the run, shut them down completely.

Yeah, that’s pretty funny. “The chest hair is mine.” The Bucs are off to a smokin’ start after pounding two good teams. It’s hard to see them inserting Winston back in there, but that’s probably exactly what they’ll do. It’s all about the bucks.
Our last win in KC was the strike-shortened season of 1982.
Patrick Mahomes’ 10 TD passes in his first two games is the new NFL all-time record.
Our last three trips to Arrowhead have resulted in three losses with a combined score of 116-19. That includes a TD we scored on the last play of the game in 2010.
Seriously? Please. Those big losses came in 1997 (44-0) and 2006 (41-0). Even the 2010 loss means nothing.
We lead the series 7-5 dating back to 1971. I’ll hang my hat on that.
Last time we played them, 2014 we beat them 22-17. Relevant? Not really, but at least we had the same punter (!).
That stat means absolutely nothing.
Our 1997 44-9 loss ended our 11 game winning streak and ended Garrison Hearst’s season.
