OT: MIchigan Sports Thread: UM wins Natty Championship

[jkutswings]

Also, why Gibbs only got 2 run plays the entire second half after he’d been GASHING the Bears in the first half is beyond me.

That's the one aspect I didn't understand: getting conservative way too early. Even with the injuries starting to mount, how does the team known for going on 4th down more than anybody else suddenly take their foot off the gas pedal prematurely?

Hey, it's a win. Hopefully they learn from it and don't pull that crap again.

Sad ass Buckeyes.

BWAHAAHAHAHA

OSU's boosters are currently forcing Day into a Towncar to take him to the Dayton Airport so that they can leave him on the tarmac.

I like Ryan Day

This is why everyone cherished the John Cooper era.

While I laughed at the nuts who wanted him gone after last season, they have an argument now after losing to this Michigan team.

What an upset wow

 

[Konnan511]

All these injuries were bound to catch up to the Lions. Goff having an off night didn't help either.

GG

Wow that failed 4th and 1 was like a turnover. Should have gone with Montgomery instead of Gibbs in that situation.

Game. Blouses. #GoLions

Lol idiot.

At least we have one team in this city with some balls

LETS GO LIONS!!

So if the Lions were to go 3-1 (lose to Buffalo, beat everyone else) and Philly were to win out (this is exactly what I think will happen), they would have identical records. Anyone know who would win the tiebreaker in this case?

Since they don't play one another, Detroit gets the edge for a better record within the conference. Here's the full list of rules:

I love how they have a list of 10 things followed by a straight up coin toss. The odds of still being tied after #4 or $5 have to be beyond astronomical already

Man the lions are so good. Unbelievable. Beating a 9-4 divisional opponent with a practice squad D line.

They get healthy, look the f*** out

They should leave a trail of shell shocked opponents as they pack everything up for a little road trip...

Eagles TE Dallas Goeddert out for the reg season with an injury (he should be back for the playoffs). Finally some good news for Lions on the injury front. Goeddert is a huge part of that Eagles offence. I had them going 4-0 for their final 4 games because they are so much more talented than their final 4 opponents. But now, I could see them struggling against the Steelers, and maybe even Washington. Fingers crossed.

Pitching market is absolute insanity. This is inane. Guy is a 37 year old injury magnet. This is the type of guy that should go for a third of this because the likelihood of reinjury is just so high.

Contracts are just out of hand in baseball. This guy is going to get 17 million if he’s just okay and he doesn’t sprain something.
