Sacks will spike upward when PP returns as well.

Our CB issues will be fine unless injuries creep in.

Simply moronic. The Lions D is much better than you’re giving them credit for. Look, if you want to continue to discredit him, go right ahead. You’re the one who looks foolish in the process.

Stuff it .I am not impressed by 1 quarter of decent football.Maybe that gives you a big thrill but I refuse to see butterflies and rainbows and ignore 3 quarters of absolute trash Qb play by the "transcendent NFl changing" QB.

Apparently K2 said after the game that he was too cute with the play calling in first 3 quarters. Seemed like on a lot of play calls he was simply trying to fool the Lions and they simply weren't fooled. In the 4th quarter and OT they seemed to just be making play calls to simply let the players beat favorable match-ups and they were able to get it going because of that.
Basically "My college offense may not all work in the NFL"

Loved the comeback and want nothing but the best for Murray. That said we have a lot more pain ahead. The jury will be out for a while.

While everyone is pissing rainbows dont forget to throw some love at Gardeck the DESTROYER...without him there is no comeback
Example of stuff done in preseason being replicated in regular play.

Gardeck - despite being "too slow", "not strong enough" yada yada, stepped up and made a play. (Why should we be surprised)?

went to the game with my folks and friend Nellie... had more fun today than I have going to any game in the last three years. I'll take it!

Same feeling man. When we scored the FG in overtime I told my buddy this was going to end in a tie and his response was "I don't give a poo this is the most fun we have had at a game since 2015".

Oh and now that is out of the way let me remind you to debate the topic not the poster.

You know the rules here.

Don't hide behind your mod status, and don't act like I'm the one that did anything wrong. You decided to go crazy throwing shade at Rosen for no reason at all--that's the content, not the poster, btw. Why even mention Rosen at all? He's history now. YOUR content brought the negativity to the thread of positivity.

I'm not going to engage in darksider mode here - this doesn't seem like a thread for debate for me.

I'm just getting home from all the travel and work, able to articulate my thoughts a little bit more, and I'm sure the unpleasant stuff will come out elsewhere.

What I can say is that I had a lot of fun in that 4th quarter yesterday, and it sure was nice, especially watching it go down and scream with fans who didn't walk out at the first sign of adversity. I hope it's something to build on throughout our young team.

Larry and DJ showed up and balled out. I'd love to swing into Baltimore this week and have a competitive game with all of the first week jitters sorted out!

You can crap on Murray, sing Rosen's praises, I don't give a care. What you will not do is attack me as a poster or as a moderator. All the rules are as above.

And you remember the rules also.Hiding behind snarky BS is okay if you do that?

Rosen and Murray will be tied together and compared for the majority of their careers. It's just the reality of the situation. Discussing those comparisons will continue to occur across the entire fanbase. These discussions aren't isolated to ASFN.

As long as people don't get personal, those discussions are fair game and within the rules.

People should discuss Murray's issues when he has them. I certainly see plenty to discuss (footwork, batted balls, high throws, not using his scrambling ability at the right time) and the opponents in the next 4 games will continue to expose more flaws I am sure.

When Rosen has success or struggles, those will be discussed too.

I can understand some of the comments in here.

Creating a Light Side thread which - by definition - means focusing on the positives instead of the negatives...but then linking your positive comments about this year's team to negative comments about last year's team seems counterproductive.

In reality it's more of an Arnold Palmer thread of your own making.

Half light and half dark.

Yeah I am still not over last year's team. I was terrified at the half that we were just treading water in that cesspool. So the light to me is coming out of the darkness.

It's a fair point though.

Hah I say Voldemort because "he is he who shall not be named." It's not out of hate but some snark about all the summer debates. I can go back to Rosen though if it bothers you so much.

As far as the comebacks, there is no comeback in this game is clearly what I am talking about. No 18 point turn around in the 4th quarter.

That isn't hatred of Rosen, it's just not what he demonstrated he could do in 12 games. When we got down by more than 2 TDs the game was over.

You are looking for reasons to be upset that just aren't intended.
When we got down by 3 pts I thought the game was over lol. Not a knock on Rosen as much as it was the whole team, we sucked & our head coach was clueless. When we didn't even cross the 50 yd line against the Rams I was pretty much done at that point.

And hopefully coach KK doesn't get cute on his play calling during the 1st half lol?

During the abysmal 1st three quarters, I did ask myself: "Is this team's personality as gloomy and hopeless as last year's?"

Short answer: "Nope. This team never left me with the feeling that they couldn't innovate or fight their way thru the morass. (They did look shaky at times but never left me totally without hope).

It's still early in the season, but I think K1 and K2 proved me right.
