00:15 Injury free game for Lions. 28 total NFL ACL tears, Lions with none.

02:24 Congrats to Big 10 and UM for starting the season. 

03:05 Play of game - Gurley TD score. Lions win rate improved from 1% to 2-3% after the TD. 

05:50 Lions tried to let Packers score TD last year also. Patricia deserves applause for using analytics in this way. 

06:40 Last drive recap and the craziness on almost every play. Golladay 1st catch should have gone to review. Ref mismarks ball at 11 yard line. 

09:30 Amendola penalized for celebration. Jamal Agnew and some Falcons also had helmets off. Should NFL change that rule?

12:00 Falcons defense too passive (prevent) on final drive. Can't do that against most NFL QB's especially Stafford. 

13:15 Special teams kickoff coverage excellent lately. Jarrad Davis deserves kudos. 

14:10 Defense started game aggressively but then became passive as game went on. Can't do that against Matt Ryan.

15:30 Romeo Okwara with a big impact game. 

15:50 Lions played 50% zone defense. Previously 61, 37, 45, 19, 18.

16:35 Offense was decent. Kerryon deserves carries for how well his pass blocking has been. 

18:08 Love the Lions going for 4th and 1 early in the game. 

18:35 Stafford eliminated his bad plays which led to best game of season. 

19:29 Lions able to overcome self-inflicted wounds. 

20:05 Matt Prater was clutch after his miss. 

20:04 Stop playing passive defense in the 2nd half!

00:20 CDC redefines close contact as within 6ft for 15 minutes cumulative within 24hrs. May affect NFL practices. 

01:30 Risk is along a gradient. There is no magic to 6ft or 15 minutes. 

04:05 Raiders OLine held out of practice due to COVID but will be able to play Sunday. 

06:10 Brandon Williams, Ravens, quarantined for 5d due to a household contact testing positive. This could create some unintended consequences. 

07:55 Lions Falcons injury discussion. Good news overall for the Lions. 

10:50 Lions have been lucky with ACL/Achilles tears so far. 

11:35 Lions testing negative for COVID for a long time now. 

12:04 CB discussion. Oruwariye is Quinn's 2nd best pick.

Darryl Roberts 29yo on 1yr deal, Tony McRae 27yo on 1yr deal. 

14:15 Jayron Kearse (59% snaps last week) is playing the Tavon Wilson role and could be a big factor going forward.

00:18 Shoutouts twitter @LOTP14, Sherman Hu, Josh C, JK, noah.

00:39 First Lions clear cut victory since 2018 Packers 31-0. 

02:15 Injuries. Julian Okwara on IR with possible right leg injury. Austin Bryant off PUP. Vaitai and Crosby with dehydration? Amendola with ankle sprain?

05:45 COVID recap of Jaguars positive test. Lions doing well on COVID front.

07:00 Play of the game: Run stuffing Jaguars on first play of game for 0 yards. 

08:40 Okudah still shaky but maybe improving?

09:30 Lions pass rush markedly improved. 34% pressure rate vs 16% coming into game. 

10:15 Jayron Kearse heavily involved. Body type looks like Isaiah Simmons. 

11:18 Romeo Okwara pass rush win rate >20%. 

12:00 Trey Flowers and Duron Harmon with impact turnovers. 

12:45 Lions played much more zone 61%. Compared to 18%, 18%, 44%, 37% in previous games. 

13:20 Offense running game best since 2013 - Reggie Bush, Joique Bell. 

14:58 DeAndre Swift is who we thought he was: 14 for 116. 

16:10 Matthew Stafford with more downfield shots. 

16:25 This may be our best offensive line in decades. 

17:00 OLine snap counts: Deckers 100%, Jackson 77%, Nelson 60%, Aboushi 60%, Dahl 44%, Vaitai 32%, Crosby 32%.

18:45 Matthew Stafford threw some nice balls but had a bad interception. 

20:40 LB snap counts: Collins 92%, Ragland 58%, Tavai 38%, Jones 34%, Davis 17%.

00:44 Glad to see NFL is not postponing games due to small number of positive tests.

01:10 NFL will hold players out with cold/flu symptoms. Players can hide symptoms or embellish symptoms depending on how much they want to play. 

03:45 Jaguars had single positive test on Friday and 12 of 16 practice squad players also placed on COVID reserve list. 

04:34 Would the NFL hold out a star QB due to being a close contact?

05:20 Lions injury news. Trufant out. Ragnow questionable. Joe Dahl could be the center. Tyrell Crosby is solid at OT.

06:20 Lions favored by 3. Away teams are winning 55% against-the-spread (ATS) this year. Underdogs are 51% ATS this year.

08:08 Will this be an offensive showdown? 

08:25 Will Lions defense show some changes coming off bye week? I'd like to see more creativity with pass rushers and stop those short crossers.

00:15 High-risk asymptomatic, neg-testing, close contacts out for 5 days but positive testers could be back in 2-3 days?

00:50 Player testing positive on Friday could be back for a Sunday evening game. 

01:50 Course of illness is likely the explanation for the discrepancy. However, course is different for each person and false negatives are likely. 

04:20 Probably makes sense for both groups to be quarantined the same minimum time.

05:10 How does NFL define "high risk"?

05:45 I suspect this protocol change is mainly 

06:25 What does this protocol change mean for fans?

06:55 COVID numbers for Oct 4-10 = 15 total "confirmed" positives. The confirmed qualifier allows NFL to fudge the data a little bit for optics. 

07:44 Detroit Lions health report after the bye week. Joe Dahl is back. How do the Lions handle Vaitai and Crosby?

09:05 Justin Coleman still out. Don't expect him back soon. 

09:37 Desmond Trufant probably out this week.

00:13 PCR testing on gameday reported by Tom Pelissero

00:25 Surprising that NFL didn't go with the POC(rapid) test

00:55 Test results could be returning in the middle of a game. Gameday chaos includes pulling players off field, suspending a partially played game, one team's results returning earlier than their opponent. 

02:20 Is withholding results until games are over a good idea?

02:44 Positive results returning after the game creates optics/PR nightmare. 

03:25 Why the NFL should use the POC test instead on gameday. 

04:15 Shoutouts to youtube subscribers, twitter followers.

00:15 Saints blow out, yes blow out the Lions. Game not nearly as close as the score.

01:50 Injury recap. Trufant aggravates hamstring. 

02:55 Offense was decent. Swift looked good, maybe play him more?

04:30 Stafford not playing well enough. Two horrible passes to Jesse James and TJ. 

06:10 How does Stafford rank in the NFL right now? Around 17-22.

10:55 Defense is embarrassing. Cory Undlin has had minimal impact.

11:25 Run defense anemic.

12:20 Defense is either INT or give up a TD. Can't force any punts.

13:00 Pass rush? Where is Trey Flowers? Romeo made some plays. 

14:10 Linebackers not blitzing effectively. 

14:52 Secondary not doing great either. 

16:29 Matt Patricia does not appear to be able to learn or adapt in over 2 years. 

17:50 Worst play of the game. Giving up 19 yards on 2nd and 16. 

20:25 Benefits of firing Patricia now. 

21:30 I approve of going for 2 down by 8.

00:10 Stephon Gilmore tests positive. Is this part of Cam Newton mini-outbreak or something else?

01:20 Could Gilmore have contracted COVID during Monday night game?

01:40 High false neg rate means there is some risk during every game.

02:55 Titans with 2 more positives announced today. 

03:20 All positive players have 90d test exemption.

03:45 Likely a large percentage of players have already contracted COVID

04:53 What should NFL do going forward? Scaling back or eliminating practices?

05:40 NFL should consider stopping postponement of games.

00:22 How was false positive determined?

01:00 False pos rate could be 1-4%. False neg rate could be 30% or more.

02:22 Pretest probability discussion and why it matters

04:45 Should Michael Burton have been allowed to play in the game?

05:40 If any Saints become positive in the next few days, it could mean Burton was a true positive.

00:10 Michael Burton positive result Saturday night

00:30 NFL will hope it can be designated a false positive

02:03 Saints close contacts are being tested

03:05 POC vs PCR tests

03:30 Will NFL start doing both POC and PCR tests daily?

04:00 Will NFL do POC tests on gameday?

04:20 NFL set potential season-killing precedents this week with Titans and Patriots

05:25 Incubation period explained

06:20 Will Lions Saints game be postponed?

07:20 NFL can't postpone games for every positive test if season is to happen

08:00 False negative rate is real. Negative tests don't eliminate risk.

09:30 Is hotel quarantine bubble realistic?
