The long, hot month of August has passed, we're into September and the final exhibition game of 2010 for the Lions. The Buffalo Bills are in town to end the living Hell known as the NFL preseason.
Once again, the game being broadcast locally via tape delay on WWJ-TV, channel 62 in Detroit. Thank GOD it's their final broadcast of the season. As usual, I'll try to update this post with any online live feeds I stumble across. Please feel free to post any you may find in the comments, especially if they are of high quality (though beggars like myself can't be choosers), and I'll post them ASAP.
If nothing turns up (always a possibility with a team with unhappy fanbases), I'll be struck watching the tape delay...starting a 9 PM. 9 F'N PM? The NFL still has their collective heads up their asses when it comes to their broadcast policies.
Even if the game itself is meaningless, there are a few story lines worth watching tonight. But first, here's what I want to see from the Lions.
Five things:
- No injuries!
- No injuries!
- No injuries!
- No injuries!
- No injuries!
Oh, yeah. Let me add...NO INJURIES!
The game meas less than jack shit. If it means playing guys who will be meeting the Turk on September 4th, and may never play in the NFL again, all to keep the Matthew Stafford's and Ndamukong Suh's of the world hale, healthy and wise, so be it.
Let me add a caveat. Hopefully wise, as long as Suh has learned that the the heads of quarterbacks aren't to be treated like twist off caps.
Ndamukong Suh, destroyer of worlds and quarterbacks!
Other story lines to watch:
1. How well Kevin Smith plays (I think he brings it tonight)
2. The battle for the third running back spot between Aaron Brown and Maurice Morris (My money is on the speedy Brown)
3. The right tackle battle between Gosder Cherilus and Jon Jansen (If Jansen wins, we may have seen the last of another of Matt Millen's draft picks wearing the Honolulu blue and silver)
4. The battle for the final few wide receiver roster openings (I'm rooting for Mr. Irrelevant, Tim Toone...and his dreads...over Dennis Northcutt)
5. If Drew Stanton plays well enough to keep his spot on the roster (It's already being floated out on the interwebs the Lions may roll the dice, and roll with only two quarterbacks to start the season)
And let's say it together...NO INJURIES!
Final note: I'm not sure if I'll be watching the game in real time, watching in tape delay, or both. But like last three weeks, I'll bet you dollars to donuts I'll be posting on Twitter tonight, trading bon mots with Lions fans. Follow along at @Big_Al_TWFE.
