The bad news is I’m still under the weather, but the good news is I have enough soup to last me throughout however long this cold lasts.
Final: Packers 23, Lions 22.
Lions blow a 13-point lead, settle for 5 field goals and have multiple blown calls go against them but, on the bright side, in 5 billion years the sun will swell into a red giant, vaporize the Earth and obliterate all evidence of this game happening

SVP: Roasting the refs on SportsCenter.
1 — 'Where's the hands to the face? Where's the hands to the face?'
2 — 'That's pass interference, isn't it? I have eyes, and that looks like that's gotta be a flag.'
3 — 'What are you seeing? What. What are you seeing?'

Don’t blame us Detroit. We're not the ones who pushed the “refs are trash” button.

Here's what incompetence in officiating does: It gets people thinking that the league may be getting back at Lions coach Matt Patricia for wearing the Goodell clown nose T-shirt after Super Bowl LI. While extremely unlikely, horrible calls open the door to conspiracy theories.

Lions 2-2-1NFC North (if Lions win)
Lions 3-1-1
Packers 4-2
Vikings 4-2
Bears 3-2The NFL refs inability to get basic calls correct are literally the difference between first place and last place for the Lions.

It’s a multi billion dollar busy & u get this kind of nickel & dime type of officiating. Almost as bad as the Saints/ Rams game. Could determine a playoff spot.

This one hasn't received enough attention. When the Lions had 12 on the field before a Packers field goal, they were immediately flagged, giving the Packers a first down and then a TD. When the Packers had 13 on the field they were allowed to call timeout. https://t.co/qCEOlQWydI

Interesting…
Per https://t.co/lDZ8rWblZM, Green Bay leads the NFL in “beneficiary yards” this season, which is when a team’s opponent is called for a penalty.
The Packers have accrued 501 yards through penalties.
Detroit, on the other hand, is dead last with 234 yards.

Charles Leno Jr. on Kyle Long: "When he was healthy and he was on, he was a dominant football player. I told him plenty of times, 'Get back to that '13, '14, '15 self.' So many times he'd try to get back to it & had to take a step back. When injuries compile, it’s really s*****."

#Bears LT Charles Leno: Kyle Long's "emotions are couldn’t tell you, probably all over the place right now. Spoke to him, though. He said, this is his words, he said he’s a Bear for life, though. So … that’s the words I remember him saying. That’s how he wanted to end things."

Taylor Gabriel on his wild last game (3 TDs in a row, then a concussion):
"They tell you to stay away from your phone. But I mean, after three touchdowns, like I want to be on my phone. I want all the love. I just want it. You know what I mean?"— Dan Wiederer (@danwiederer) October 14, 2019
