Got the stop…I mean, drop!

Very few negative plays being created by the defense since the first couple drives. Have to get a stop of some sort.

Getting lit up on that drive. Also interesting to see Montgomery running much better than Gibbs so far.

Love to Watson. Toyotathon!!!

Got the defensive stop to open the half. Great field position. Big to get a touchdown here.

Agree with the MLF criticism for the season overall, but don’t see it for today’s game so far.

Should’ve been up 7 at the half. Critical possession upcoming after halftime. The “double up” score opportunity is in play for Detroit.

Absolute whiff on the tackle.

Probably got away with that timeout, but cashed in the opportunity. Need the defense to shutdown this last possession of the half.

Backup quarterback sighting without injury in the 4th Quarter....the type you want to see today.

That's what the pass rush needs to do against an essentially rookie quarterback.

@sveumrulesgave a good reply to that above concerning Ortiz batting with RISP. The strangest thing was to see the huge differences between Ortiz batting with runners on base, runners in scoring position, or with the bases loaded, as seen from his Baseball Reference page: Split G GS PA AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI SB CS BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS TB GDP HBP SH SF IBB ROE BAbip tOPS+ sOPS+ RISP 105 156 144 51 38 3 0 1 37 8 0 6 23 .264 .298 .306 .604 44 4 1 5 0 0 1 .308 105 64 --- 136 269 251 4 46 10 1 4 4 0 0 16 41 .183 .238 .279 .517 70 0 2 0 0 0 1 .204 74 48 Men On 125 237 219 58 62 8 0 3 41 14 3 11 33 .283 .320 .361 .681 79 10 1 6 0 0 1 .322 130 85 1-- 72 81 75 7 24 5 0 2 4 6 3 5 10 .320 .363 .467 .829 35 6 0 1 0 0 0 .349 179 126 -2- 50 52 49 6 12 1 0 0 4 0 0 2 7 .245 .275 .265 .540 13 0 0 1 0 0 1 .286 83 49 --3 11 12 10 5 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 4 .100 .250 .100 .350 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 .167 22 -3 12- 37 39 35 8 15 1 0 0 7 2 0 1 3 .429 .444 .457 .902 16 0 0 3 0 0 0 .469 205 152 1-3 16 10 8 11 2 0 0 0 3 6 0 0 0 .250 .333 .250 .583 2 1 1 1 0 0 0 .250 100 60 -23 12 12 12 8 3 0 0 0 6 0 0 0 5 .250 .250 .250 .500 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 .429 69 24 123 30 31 30 13 5 1 0 1 16 0 0 1 4 .167 .194 .300 .494 9 3 0 0 0 0 0 .160 65 27 These are definitely small sample sizes, but look at those lines with a runner on 3rd base only (--3) or with the bases loaded (123). Those are the anchors that just dragged down Ortiz's overall stats. It's not that Ortiz was great with RISP, but it's the hitting with bases loaded or a runner only on third that we remember the most. A real quirk in 2025 that Ortiz had 31 plate appearances with the bases loaded and 12 plate appearances with a runner on third base only, That was 8.5% of his 506 plate appearances. But those are prime run scoring opportunities, in which he just basically bombed.

Not sure what this will all mean for streaming, but it appears that ESPN is about to acquire MLB.tv rights. Something to look into as more announcements are made. https://awfulannouncing.com/mlb/finalizes-mlb-tv-deal-not-available-youtube-tv.html

Maybe. After not holding on to a late lead against the Bears, who knows what’s in their heads?

Parsons with a game-ender to stop the Hail Mary.

Whelan drilled that punt.

Agreed. Need to cash in on any Winston gift passes.

Big time touchdown catch for Watson.

Somewhat in your boat. Don’t want losses or a lousy season. But maybe a meltdown end—or weeks-long stretch—might bring a needed clearing out of whatever is wrong with the team.

That would seem to be partly an issue with the personnel that is greatly compounded by coaching.

An entire secondary that cannot catch.

Big pass breakup by McDuffie. Unfortunately it was his own man.

This loss should have some staffing/job assignment ramifications going forward. Rostering issues with the kicker and injuries. Things look uncoordinated. Can’t score at home for two weeks in a row.

Would be nice to have the healthy kicker right now.

Team can’t even line up correctly with the game on the line. Just craptacular tonight.
