I would guess Roethlisberger is out next week too. It’s usually ten days at least in the protocol.

I thought it depended on vaccination status? For example, Chubb could have tested out and played this Sunday because he was vaccinated, whereas Rodgers couldn’t last week because he wasn’t. Maybe not … it all gets murky to me.

....and the Lions arguably get shafted by the officials as much as we do against league favorites.

It's not 10 days if vaccinated, at least I don't think so. Hopefully no one else got it. Mason Rudolph, wow. At least he's 5-4 as a starter. We'll see how he does. Detroit is not as bad as their record. This might be a very close game.

Come on Lions!!!! Let's pull this off!

Well there is this from last week.

The NFL is standing behind Monday night's controversial taunting call against Bears linebacker Cassius Marsh, affirming it Friday with a fine.

But privately, members of the NFL's officiating department who reviewed the game acknowledged that referee Tony Corrente and his crew erred on at least three separate critical calls and non-calls that went against Chicago in that 29-27 loss -- including a low block penalty on the Bears that nullified a Justin Fields touchdown pass, sources familiar with the league's thinking said.

Officials also missed multiple penalties by the Steelers, including a late hit on Fields that would've given the Bears first-and-goal on the same third-quarter drive and offsides by multiple Steelers on Cairo Santos' 65-yard field goal attempt that fell short as time expired.

A league spokesman declined comment, which is common on officiating matters. A Bears spokesman also declined comment.



The NFL generally doesn't discipline officials for judgment calls, though being downgraded for performance can affect officials' postseason assignments.

Corrente's nationally televised taunting call on Marsh wiped out a third-down stop in the final minutes and became the new centerpiece of the public debate over the NFL's point of emphasis on calling that foul. NFL senior vice president of officiating Perry Fewell indicated in a social media video the call was correct, and Marsh was fined $5,972 for unsportsmanlike conduct.

But no call was more impactful than the low-block flag on right guard James Daniels, who appeared to be at the edge of the tight end box and made minimal contact with the defender. The penalty reversed a 1-yard touchdown pass from Fields to tight end Jimmy Graham on the Bears' first possession of the second half, leaving them facing second-and-goal from the 16.


Two plays later, Steelers linebacker Alex Highsmith knocked down Fields from behind well after he released the ball, but no flag was thrown and the Bears had to settle for a field goal that cut Pittsburgh's lead at the time to 14-6. Fields said after the game he told Corrente that "Big Ben just got that call" -- referring to a roughing call against Mario Edwards on the previous drive -- and he needs it called both ways.

Several Steelers appeared to be lined up in the neutral zone on Santos' attempt at a game-winning field goal, which came up well short. A penalty would've given Santos another chance from five yards closer, or perhaps brought Fields back on for a Hail Mary attempt.

Instead of Fields leading a signature road win and keeping Chicago within a half-game of the No. 7 NFC playoff spot, the Bears went into this weekend's bye at 3-6. They host the Baltimore Ravens next Sunday.

Two negative tests or ten days and no symptoms. Negative tests are rare that soon if you have the virus.

Lions almost(should've) beat the ravens. I suppose there is hope.

Lions got a bum kicker

Suddenly, the AFC North doesn’t look all that good.

Lions will beat us next week

"The Bengals were off." The whole division was "off."

Shoud the Browns use more of the play clock on the opening drive of the game next week?

Well, If the Browns get the ball to open the game if the opening drive of the game is the Browns on offense,
should the Browns,
use more play clock between each play, on offense??

It seemed today they were in such a hurry, were snapping the ball with 20 seconds still on the play clock even with it moving.

The Lions played the Steelers way tougher than we did. And they have zero talent

It's the NFL, the best 1600 football players on the planet. Everybody has talent, and any team can beat any other team on any given week.

not always about the players

Yeah, I know that, but I was addressing D4L's comment about Detroit having "zero talent".

I should have worded it correctly... was agreeing with you, I agree all teams have talent... do they have the right talent for the scheme the coaches want ? do new coaches come in and coach up the talent they have... new topic, that was my thinking Dave...

Aaron Rodgers just threw an interception in the end zone to kill a scoring drive. He's no good.

Mayfield had a better game than Russell Wilson today. But he didn't finish the game.

Al Micheals and Chris Colinsworth, I try to figure why I hate Al Micheals so much.

I think I learned the Browns were moving to Baltimore while listening to Al Micheals explain it in one of his awful close ups.

Chris Colinsworth never met a player he doesn't like.
"Did you see that guy, he just does something other players just don't do."

Patrick Mahommes can throw the ball with his left hand.
no see, he's got 2 hands, but sometimes he throws with his right hand, now, anyone can do that, we've all seen that, but, that time,
Mahommes threw it with his other hand, his left hand, I know, not his right one, I mean, ya'all aint never seen nothing like it, it was his left hand, (his left one?) Ya, his left one, oh my, let the show begin. It's crazy it's like I'm watching the circus or something, I can't wait to see it. Better get my popcorn, he uses 2 hands, two? 2, both of them. Wow.

we are still so far behind these teams offensively. It’s so easy for them with these QBs and playmakers. (Teams like KC, LAC, LAR) … our offense is good when scripted. After that it’s a big time struggle

I mentioned a couple weeks ago that our team as a whole, probably a little more on the offense but really both sides, when things are going well we are pretty good playing downhill... but we don't handle adversity well on either side of the ball. We don't respond, we don't recapture momentum.. sadly, we tend to just fold.

I agree. It seems like Baker WANTS to turn the ship around but he doesn’t have the physical skills to do it IMO.

It seems like our defense folds (and our coaching staff doesn’t help matters when things aren’t going well)

Now that's a reach of epic proportions.

Or maybe I was joking?

I think Baker definitely has the physical skills. It seems like he is mentally not able to process defenses quick enough and or play with defensive players coming at him.

OBJ wasn't where he was supposed to be at... Interception !! lmao ! Rams / 49ers game Monday Night

Stafford's deep post to Beckham gets picked when Odell breaks off the route. Shocking!
