Interestin tidbit. I noticed this last week and again tonight. In short yardage situations like 1st and G from the 1 the Lions shift Olafioye back over to RT.

I don't attend games often (about once a year). I briefly considered heading downtown tonight, but traffic from the 'burbs on a Thursday? No thanks. Traffic is so bad two of the guests on the pregame show missed their segments because they were stuck in it. I imagine a lot of people are hunkered down in front of their TVs tonight.

I do not get why canuck fans do not complain if a game is on a Thursday night. and they still get close to a sell out.

Watching the games from Sasky and the one thing I have noticed lately about Lions crowds is the increase in younger fans and people of ethnicity. It's great to see and I think something the Lions can hopefully build on!

Short yardage game looks good this year. I like seeing Jennings in there. Keeps things moving and gives options.

Tom, I known Lions fans don't want to admit it, but the fan base for the Canucks is a lot larger than for the Lions. Getting 18,000 to GM Place for the Canucks is akin to getting 6000 to a Lions game. But even the Canucks are feeling the pain of not doing well. We'll see how full they are this year

most of the canucks season ticket base is corporate and work downtown ... they just work late and stay downtown ... that why the canucks moved down there

Football has to be on saturday's now here ... traffic is too bad on weekday. Fridays are hard now to due to traffic.
