Don't think I've ever watched a HOF game in my lifetime...did I miss much?

If the hobby is the reason you watch football, that’s cool. I love football. The hobby could implode and go away and I wouldn’t care. I still get to watch football!

Will either of these WR be a starter? Dionte Johnson Cedric Tillman

That's the way I felt before so many defensive rules. Then it was the combo of Football, Hobby, Fantasy football.

For actual preseason the Fantasy football aspect has nothing to do with it, starters play less and less each season so it doesn't feel like NFL football (Feels like watching AFL/XFL amateur hour), and now the Hobby aspect isn't as good/way too expensive. They can't even release their usual preseason shlock like Prestige (always came out in June now it's October). But hey we have 2025 Trick or Treat

Figured Tillman would be. Heard some good stuff from browns camp about Dionte.

Sounds like we get to see Trey Harris and Omarion Hampton. Not bad. Trey Lance slinging it though.

Siberian13 · 07-31-2025, 07:52 PM

Trey Lance had some nice touch passes but once there’s pressure he has no clue what to do.

Wake me when Mike Evans breaks Jerry Rice's record so I can list some of my Mike Evans cards on eBay for FU money

Jerry holds 36 NFL records. Was there one Evans was close to?

The big record is most consecutive 1,000 yard seasons in a career. Evans has 11 straight 1000 yd seasons and if he gets another one, it would be his 12th and break Rice's record which has stood since 1996, some 30 years ago. Pretty significant

Good thing they added that extra game for Evans so he could break this record.

I guess we can overreact that the Chargers are a legit contender and Detroit is nothing without BJ.

Not that you probably care, but interesting enough...

He only played 16 games in 3 of his 1st 7 seasons...

2019 he did it im 13 games..

Since the extra game was added in 2021

21- 16 games
22- 15 games
24- 14 games

Only outlier was 23- 17 games...but he finished with 1255 yards...so unless you think he got 255 yards in his 17th game

Seems spot on. Lions last game with Ben Johnson, 31 points put up. Lions first game without Ben Johnson. 7 points.

What was Dan Campbells record in Detroit, before he lucked into BJ to call plays? 3-13.

They will do better this year, as they are still using his playbook. But that will get cracked by the middle of the season.
