Lol this is pathetic
Fox’s key to the game for Detroit is to not start out losing 21-0.

Today is Kitna's birthday
Hopefully he throws less than 3 picks.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Anyone see what Ronnie Brown did to the Patriots today?
He would be nice to have on your fantasy team.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Short recap
Smith for a few yards and then picks up a couple. Kitna tried to throw to McDonald on 3rd down but the pass was in traffic and dropped. Punt to SF…
Gore picks up maybe 1 or 2 on 1st down and then a few more on second down. On 3rd and 5 O’Sullivan scrambled away from defenders and ran for a 1st down.

My Lines of the Week
Baltimore Ravens -3
Over
Cleveland Browns
NY Jets +8.5

Chargers -8.5
Joel Freeland=Stud
Pump fake by O'Sullivan
Dumps it off to Gore to bring up 3rd and 2.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
I'm so glad the Bills won today
I had them in my survivor pool.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Kitna can't hit Gaines
Sort of bounced off his hands. Wouldn’t have been a gain anyways.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Giants beat Bengals in overtime
Pretty entertaining game.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Kitna is sacked and fumbles at about the 3-yard line
Raiola recovered at the 1.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Harris barely got that punt out of the endzone
Great kick, but Rossum ends up inside the 50.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Gore runs all the way to the 6-yard line
Gore simply ran through all the holes.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Vernon Davis drops a catch at the 2
He was open. It’ll be 3rd and goal.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
O'Sullivan rolls out to escape pressure and finds Bruce in the end zone
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Illegal formation on Detroit
4th penalty, but it is declined
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Kitna forced to throw on the run
Didn’t have many options and the pass is batted away. Calvin had two guys on him. SF will start with good field position again.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
We need to shift the field position game
Although SF is about to score again anyways.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Another great punt
Rossum returns close to the 50.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Some guy with goofy hair makes the bobbling catch for 12
End of the 1st quarter. Lions trail 7-0.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Delay of game
How do you start a quarter like that?
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Davis runs all the way down to the 11 after a catch behind the LOS
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Gore bobbles the toss but runs into the end zone untouched anyways
Lions better score on the next possession. Otherwise it’ll be 21-0 before we know it.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Rudi Johnson makes a catch for 8 yards after the fake
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Kitna avoids the sack and throws to Gaines
Gaines dropped it, though, and it nearly got picked off.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
I swear
I’ve seen JV football teams play better than this
Johnson had the ball stripped but it went out of bounds
1st down for the Lions at the 42 of SF.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Roy Williams with another drop
Granted, it was a tough catch to make, but still.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
I take that back
That wasn’t an easy catch, but you can’t drop that. (They just showed a replay)
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Johnson tripped up after a gain of 1
2nd and 9 at the 29.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Kitna hits Furrey for a small gain
That makes it 4th down and 6. Hanson is in for the FG.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
The kick is perfect
Lions trail 14-3 with 7:23 to play in the 1st half.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
At least it can't be 21-0 this week
Although it could be 21-3.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Been talking to some friends
Looks like I’m going to be going to the Lions-Bucs game in November…that way I can see them lose in person
Yup
Tampa Bay looked pretty good today. They beat Chicago in OT.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Dwight Smith broke up a long pass to Davis
But there is a flag.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Holding on Smith
No big deal. It’s only a 5-yard penalty.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Woo!
I’m about to cross the 100-point mark in the official POD fantasy football league.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
O'Sullivan hits Bryant Johnson for a gain of 25
Nice coverage.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
I'd say
He’s probably thinking to himself this is too easy, let’s keep throwing.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
All it took was 3 passes for SF to score
Great job secondary. God you suck.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
LOL
I wonder what Millen will say this week.
“The foundation is laid. Don’t worry about the winless season. The fans like what they see.”
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Just a great playcall on that TD
SF had the matchups.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Johnson can't make the catch on the hit
3rd down coming up.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Kitna tries to scramble but gets sacked
He had Rudi open in the flats and didn’t even look.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Yeah it has
That’s good since I have a couple papers to write and lots of studying to do.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Why would Martz be nervous?
He knew how easy this would be.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
O'Sullivan had an open Vernon Davis
But the catch was dropped. It was a bit in front of him, though.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
I haven't seen so much suck
since Linda Lovelace. This team is beyond terrible and Millen needs to be gone before next weeks game. I’ve got the game audio on the internet. Think I’ll turn it off and go kill zombies on the Wii.
After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases. ~Mickey Mantle
Yeah this is painful
Thankfully we get a week off from this crap. No better time to fire someone than a bye week, right?
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Damn straight! F#$@in' Millen needs to be gone.
Needs to be gone now. This is ludicrous. 8 f@#king years in a row for this crap. I’m tempted to just ignore football this season and hope my Cubbies can pull off the big one. By then hockey should be on and carry me through until spring training.

Minnesota got their first win today
Now we’ll be in last by ourselves.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Wow
8 of O’Sullivan’s 10 completions have been to different players
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
O'Sullivan nearly gets sacked again
Gore makes the catch, but doesn’t get a first down.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
For some reason the Lions are letting the clock run
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
At least call a timeout and try to block the punt or something
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
And now they call a timeout
With 10 seconds left. WTF!
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Punt was downed at the 1
Clock ran out, but there is a flag.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Illegal touching on SF
Lions decline. Personal foul on Furrey for “signaling and then blocking,” but SF also declines.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
On the brightside Rudi Johnson has played well
On the downside, I haven’t seen Kevin Smith in a long time.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Also on the brightside
I’m dominating in the official POD FFL again.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Now that is some domination
I started Gore over Sjax this week in my league so I’m pretty happy so far
by explosivo2k2 on Sep 21, 2008 5:26 PM EDT up reply actions
I can't see the game
Is Megatron injured? He hasn’t caught a single pass. Or is it just looking that bad
Nope
Kitna has only thrown in his direction once. He’s being covered pretty well by Clements.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Strahan thinks Detroit doesn’t want to play. I don’t disagree. Jimmy Johnson jokes that the Lions are playing possum.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
WoW
Even the announcers are ripping us to shreds. I think the score is Jimmy Johnson 14 -Lions 0.
Definitely
Between the Lions and Michigan, I’ve probably taken a few decades off.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
It worked for the vikings
They changed up their QB and got a Win , drew says hes ready I say screw it.. just put him in now.. Kitna hasn’t been playing bad today but who cares.. can’t get worse..
He's inactive for this game
If this thing finishes the way it started I wouldn’t be surprised if Stanton gets the start after the bye.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Believe in now?
Oh I believe, I believe that this team downright sucks.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Worse than last year?
It would appear so. Maybe we shoulda kept big baby.
By far it's worse
The finish stunk but at least we had some hope.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Interesting
O’Sullivan has more rushing yards than Kevin Smith. Rudi Johnson has more receiving yards than Roy and Calvin put together..
Timeout Lions
Otherwise they would’ve had too many men on the field.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Atlanta and Turner
At least after today we aren’t the only ones he torched. I mean KC sucks as bad as us but still. I bet if you put the Lions and KC starters all on 1 team we still couldn’t win a game.
Yeah
3 more TDs. Only 101 yards or something, though.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
O'Sullivan avoids the sack
But he throws it away. 4th and 5.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Who gets the first round pick this year?
Chiefs, Rams, or Lions?
first pick i mean
i say rams but we could be 2nd
3 way tie
Which will necessitate a 2-round coin flip tournament in which the Lions will lose..again

This is a joke!!!
This is not a professional football team. This is a joke!! This is a black eye for the city of Detroit. This coach is a joke!! He does not have a clue…..pound the rock….. Fire all the management now!!!! Naked coach included!!! What an embarresment to all the Loyal Lion Fans.. Detroit deserves better than this…….UGA Football is better than these chumps. This is a joke!!!
Great
Pass interference on Roy. That’s the 3rd straight week he’s been called for that. Wake up dude.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Last 5 years 1st round picks
Have resulted in what, 9 yards (Roy) so far today?
wait are they showing last weeks game?
Cause I could have swore I already watched this haha
Anyone else
wish they grew up in Dallas or another real football town?
Roy Williams
We shoulda just put him on the block.
What could we get?
That would actually make a difference…
He's an elite receiver to most teams
Probably could have got a nice pick for him
25-yard run by Foster is called back because of a holding
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
O'Sullivan goes out wide, Gore takes the direct snap for a gain of 3
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Nedney hooked it
Score is still 21-3. Kitna gets bailed out.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Hopefully Kitna will throw some more picks
So that I have a reason to drink myself to sleep.
Awww man
I thought kitna came down hard on his knee and was hurt for a minute there
Gore gains a couple more
3rd and short coming up.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Just once
I’d like them to turn over to the sideline and see kitna cursing himself out. Or possibly punching himself in the face.
Mike Furrey returns like a little girl
wheres middleton?
Rudi Johnson breaks off a big run
He has played well today. Gain of 27.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Ford is a genius.
It made sense to raise prices this year so that he could make more money before we saw how crappy we were and stopped going to games.
Kitna overthrows Roy Williams in the end zone
Roy was open.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
yeah deffinitely WR
With Roy leaving soon and Calvin still being young, we will need another receiver to fill the void left by the loss of charles rogers and mike williams.
McDonald freaking drops a 1st down catch
He really sucks.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Butterfingers ought to be his new name
He always drops open passes.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Kick is again right down the middle and is good
Lions trail 21-6.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Without a doubt
I can’t even imagine why he has stuck around this long.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Hanson
Everyone always asks me why i draft hanson as my kicker in fantasy. I always just laugh.
O'Sullivan scrambles for a gain of 1 and gets horse collared
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
On another note
Detroit has probably broken the record for “almost comebacks” in nfl history.
Its fun
to watch all of the players we passed on in the draft blossom into league leading players. It makes me smile inside.
Our draft picks are league leaders too...
just in NFL europe or canada or their local flag football team.
Like Gore.
He went in the beginning of the third round the year we picked Mike Williams in the First. Nice!
O'Sullivan throws an incomplete pass
More flags, yay!
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Wow.. that is great.. I would have quit a long time ago :)
by explosivo2k2 on Sep 21, 2008 6:24 PM EDT up reply actions
Does he really?
or are they just trying to hate on him for some reason? Cause after last week it seemed like they had something against him.
They better at least give Gore a TD here for fantasy purposes
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Kitna
7/18 for 60 yards and an INT.
Id take tarvaris jackson ..
Stanton had better be starting
after the bye week. make Kitna the 3rd QB.
After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases. ~Mickey Mantle
Joe Flacco
If Joe Flacco can start, and Tyler thigpen , then so can Stanton.
I agree.
Kitna is not a franchise QB and I don’t know if Stanton will ever be either but it’s time to find out. If the friggin’ O-Line would do their job, he may actually play well (definitely better than Kitna).
After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases. ~Mickey Mantle
The Lions even disappoint when it comes to fantasy...
I needed Gore to get that and not let Nedney get the 3 points
Hopefully San Fran Sucks the rest of the year
that when they only win a couple games, it will make Detroits strength of Schedule that much lower. I mean the Lions have lost to two pretty bad teams this year already. SF and ATL are pretty awful.
Timeout SF
Looks like they want to talk about it.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
SF is going for it
This is basically the game if they score.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Couldn't tell who
But someone over-pursued right at the handoff.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Look on the bright side.
Every team we play for the rest of the year is better. We might get to set the no win record!
Middleton fumbles on the kick return
Detroit recovers according to the refs.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
So should I even bother with a "Fire Marinelli?" poll after the game?
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
The thing is
He brought a lot of these players in himself this year. And his son in law is the DC.
by explosivo2k2 on Sep 21, 2008 6:37 PM EDT up reply actions
We need a new job posting at Headquarters.
The guys sole purpose will be every time Millen tries to say anything about who to draft, the guy just hits him in the nuts.
I can think of about 50,000 odd people
who would do it for free..
Roy makes the catch by a first down
Pass almost was bounced in
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Kitna steps up and throws long for Roy
He had two guys on him and no flags.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
They are talking about our drafting.
We are the only team i think that ever drafted 4 WR in 5 years (was it 5 years?)… haha, we are awesome.
Kitna throws a quick pass to McDonald for a gain of 5
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
How he catches that but drops a wide open pass is beyond me
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Try this...it's fun
Google “2009 NFL Draft Prospects” We might have achance at TIM TEBOW! Or mabe Ray Mauluga the ILB from USC! He’d be great to build around!
But I’m sure MAtt Millen “likes what sees” in Chase Daniel and Obi Ezeh.
This is BS
How do all these good QBs keep getting hurt and our craptastic kitna can have his helmet fall off, his leg backwards sideways, and all kinds of other crap and still get up like hes superman
Touchdown Rudi Johnson!
He broke free on a screen pass and ran 34 yards for a touchdown.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Great play by Rudi...
He broke a couple tackles and juked by the defenders.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Rudi Johnson
Is now the starter in detroit. Period.

For the person that said Fringe was a good show earlier...
What’s it about?
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
The chick is FBI
And she gets sucked into this secret division that investigates weird stuff. The old guy is a scientist who worked for the government researching weird stuff (telepathy, reanimation, etcetc). And the the younger dude is the scientists son who is street smart too.
by explosivo2k2 on Sep 21, 2008 6:45 PM EDT up reply actions
Sounds interesting
If I have time I’ll have to watch it this week.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Not sure who said it
but i like it too. Its hard to describe though. Its an FBI lady and a crazy old scientist and his son who investigate weird science mystery type cases. They do weird stuff tho. Like different than anything else you’ve seen. X Files like stuff but not aliens
Cross between
x-files and, hmmm…Numb3rs is about as close as I’d guess. Hot FBI chick, mad scientist who worked for the government doing weird (and mostly illegal) shit and who’s been in a loony bin for the last 17 years and his kid who’s got a 190 iq and mostly runs scams. Good show, I thought.
After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases. ~Mickey Mantle
Onside kick time!
But SF calls a timeout since they weren’t expecting it.

Battle catches the onside and runs all the way down to the 12
Well that went well.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
No offense to Hanson, but that was a terrible onside

Thats gotta be a tough thing to do well consistently

That came after a 2-yard loss by Gore
So it is 3rd and 10
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Gore gets the handoff out of the shotgun and gets down to the 7
4th and 5 coming up
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Not to sound pessimistic
but the season is over in my mind.
Fire Marinelli, millen, and let kitna stay on as backup to someone new. Maybe Stanton if he looks good.
But then what?
Not pessimistic
That’s realistic to me. The season is over for sure in my opinion.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Hire Jimmy Johnson
as the GM and give him complete control.
After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases. ~Mickey Mantle
Hire me
I’m about to be 3-0 in my fantasy league!
That’s more credentials than Millen has.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Plus
you know more about the team than millen haha. And are more in tune with the fans.
So who else is looking forward to a bye week?
I’m so glad I’ll be able to have a nice and relaxing Sunday.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Once we looked like crap again this week
And went down 14-0, I started relaxing anyway..
We look terrible so far

Stats
Kitna: 11-25, 119 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT
Rudi Johnson: 13 carries, 74 yards, 3 catches, 48 yards, 1 TD
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Calvin drops another pass
What is with all the drops?
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Today I learned.
With a good line, Rudi would probably be a great starter.
Hanson rocks.
Middleton is a good returner.
Everyone else doesn’t deserve their paycheck.
OMG
They are talking about us and millen!!! YAY!
Kitna avoids pressure and hits McDonald for a 1st down
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
You can take it on your shoulder
And be accountable when you know that Ford isn’t going to do anything about it and your job is secure for all eternity no matter how much you suck.
Why on earth are they throwing these short passes?
Go down the field.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Just consider it a televised practice.
thats what i do. When we have our first game in August of 2010 we are gonna be awesome after all these practices.
I will say that Rudi Johnson has exceeded my expectations today
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Question...
Has any Lions fan ever said… “What has Millen done for us?” I think we all KNOW what Millen has done for us
I can't even believe they said that...
Either they don’t care what Lions fan actually are thinking or they don’t want to bag on Millen on TV by saying what we’re actually thinking
Although it's disappointing that Smith hasn't played at all since the first quarter
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
I do hope that we get to see Stanton just for his legs
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Kevin Smith
I’m not saying that smith isn’t going to be good maybe down the road. But he shouldn’t be the starter right now I don’t think. It doesn’t hurt to get the experience if we are planning on losing the rest the season. But if we want to win Rudi is a much better option. He just needed to learn the playbook.
Looks like his leg got stuck under the defender when he was tackled
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Gets picked off on a screen pass for crying out loud
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
I don't hate to see kitna like that.
matter of fact ive been asking for it.
I'd be shocked if Stanton isn't our starter in the next game
Kitna looks like he’s dinged up pretty bad. Hello Drew Henson as well?
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
haha
It hurts to hear that the 49ERS are superior in every aspect. The 49ERS. They suck to anyone else.
Well, the storyline for the bye week...
Is without a doubt who will start against Chicago.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
My early prediction even before Kitna got hurt was Stanton
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Considering Kitna looks like he's hurt pretty badly
I really think it’ll be Stanton. Although Kitna is walking now, but limping quite a bit.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Who else is out there?
If kitna or someone else gets put out for the season?
Henson would be signed from the practice squad probably
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Game over
San Francisco wins 31-13. So depressing. At least we get a bye and a week off from this crap.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Until then look for an update on Kitna when one happens
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
I'm out of here
Another Sunday night pissed off because of this bull…
AAuurrgh!!
What a waste of a Sunday afternoon. Thanks Sean for putting up with us.
After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases. ~Mickey Mantle
Yep.
I also decided not to watch today’s game. I got an angry phone call from my dad during halftime about their pathetic play and knew I had made the right decision.
I was more productive than normal on a Sunday AND I didn’t want to punch anything after the Lions game.
It will be very interesting to see if the team can sell out the home game on October 5th. Time for a TV blackout perhaps?
Unless a company buys them
I see no way how they will sell out. If they had 3,000+ left for a home opener against Green Bay, I don’t see how they could get rid of all of them for an 0-3 team against Chicago.
