Lions actually did it
Whatever happens, I've enjoyed this game thread with y'all. This is a small, but great, community.
- Hell yeah, brother!
Detroit is going to be so much fun this year to watch, wowza
- That was legitimate entertainment. GG Lions. Hutch is the real deal.
  
  He had a great game, for sure. All their young players are showing out already. As a Seahawks fan, I'm terrified to see them in week 2, off a mini-bye, as well 😬
Are we not calling false starts this year? 74 on chiefs is early every snap.
- Collinsworth somehow managed to turn that into a compliment for the chiefs while criticizing the lions coaches for not complaining about it.
  
  Impressive stuff.
  
  Just following the NFLs marching orders. Praise Mahomes, fuck the Lions.
- Took them almost all game to call it
  
  For real! Lined up wrong and jumped every gun.
Toney might get cut at the postgame press conference
- He’s getting dropped from a lot of fantasy teams as soon as waivers process next week
74 RT jumps almost every single snap, they're even calling it on the broadcast before it happens. Let's go, consistency 👏👏 👏👏👏
- Chiefs get away with so much bullshit. That RT lining up so far back and jumping early. All the holds. Have to protect the face of the NFL!
  
  Also hate how Mahomes fakes going out all the time but then otherwise waits until the last second to get flags. They need to have the rule that you're free to hit until you actually step out of bounds.
What a banger all the way through. Great (and sometimes sloppy) game to start the season!
Toney gonna be on Mahomes shit list for that
- That's Toney. He hardly understands what route to run and moves too fast his body can't catch up.
  
  He probably got hurt on the play, too
Football’s back on the menu boys, let’s go LOINS!
- Let's goooooooo
Mahomes is gonna rip Toney's arms off and beat him with them. Lol
THE FUCKIN BALLS ON THIS MAN
- Yaaaaaaaas. I think the Lions really needed that. Hopefully it gives them some momentum.
  
  Momentum granted 😎
I’m already sick of collinsworth.
- Trucks Zoom Zoom
- I usually don't mind Collinsworth, but every time he casts a Chiefs game, it's just 3 straight hours of him virtually sucking Mahommes's dick.
  
  He's always done that for the "star" quarterbacks. Especially Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady.
- Lmao
The refs were saving that one for juuuuust the right moment.
- Dude has been moving all game.
  
  Yeah I was trying to say they were letting it slide all game until the perfect dramatic moment lol
I'm so fuckin hyped and excited for this season! I hope this instance takes off and these game threads get rolling.

Be the change you want to see, right?

Sea HAWKS! 17-0, MAYBE, BABY!
- Seconded on the game threads. Hopefully people support them.
- I was with you until the Seahawks…
  
  Right? I was all about this energy, and then you had to go and ruin it with that.
Nice, just found this instance. Great game, well done Lions! Jones about to get paiddd.
What a well-placed, cathartic, finally-called false start
That was a nice Chris Jones-sized hole Montgomery just ran through
Let's Go Lions!
I did not think Taylor would get called tonight.
Love Campbell and love the lions. Fucking great to have a new season with such a good game.
- They truly deserve something to go right. I hope y’all get the live lion on the sidelines finally.
Collinsworth actually said "big third down coming up" on the literally first one of the season lmao
- Well its the biggest one so far.
- Here's a guy that likes to set the tone early.
Good showing by the Lions, this defense will crush NFC teams.
- Hutchinson is insanely good.
  
  Future hall of fame player right there.
Lol.

"Nuggies"
Let's gooooooooo!!!!!!!
Lets go! I have been so hyped for football this year and I love that we get a good game to start.
Lions not giving up.
Ooof. I can't even imagine landing on my elbow like that.
- I would have to have my arm amputated after landing on it like that, damn.
There’s that classic Mahomes scrambling
What a beautiful stop, they were ready!
Great pick six!
Damn man. That was a good drive too.
What a nice drive.
NFC is going to have a tough time with the Lions this year.
Only tuned in during the 3rd QTR and it was a banger till the end. Hopefully a preview of the season to come.
Great drive for the Lions.
Yeah the Lions should’ve declined the holding penalty.
That was Mahomes’ first INT in game 1s
So who all is in here, and who do you follow? I assume you're all a bunch of alt accounts of Rob Lowe.

Seattle/former Cleveland fan
- Is flair a thing on Lemmy?
  
  I don't think lemmy has flares, yet. Hopefully some people here can implement that. Gotta rep!
- I might as well be. I don’t have an NFL team, I just really like football. I mostly follow UCF players (of which there aren’t much) and whatever teams are fun.
Finally, some real football! Let’s Go!
That was a real bad series of plays at the end there for the Lions.
Lions get the ball on the 30.
Alright now we got some offense cooking in this game
No Kelce tonight
Wow I’m surprised CEH is getting touches so early.
Mahomes actually got caught from behind, I can't believe it
Does anyone know the hat that Andy Reed is wearing? I likey.
- I googled “Chiefs round patch hat” and think I found it. Check it out here:

  Yep that's it! Thanks!
Kansas City is holding like crazy.
Only one drive but the Chiefs are having no trouble getting pressure so far. Bad news for Chris Jones.
- Bad news for Detroit, too 😩
That pass interference call was pretty questionable. Guess the tradition of the refs gifting KC wins late in the game will be continuing this season.
I'm actually shocked the refs let the Lions beat the Chiefs.
Trick plays galore! I hope both sides have some saved for the 2nd half as well
Unbelievable! I can't believe we pulled it out.
