OFFICIAL 2026 injuries thread

[Psycho_X]

I post the below only to point out that I've noticed Lions fans have turned sour on Brad Holmes it seems. Every injury or roster post has Lions fans negatively commenting towards Holmes and his drafting/roster movements in the comments. It happens quick in the NFL.

I loved this fucking game as a child.

There were always a couple players that just went around-in-a-circle; and a couple more that didn't move but just kind of vibrated. The football was a small piece of cotton that quickly deteriorated into fuzz but it didn't matter because the only way to throw a pass was to sling-shot the ridiculous cotton football ... and ... for those who have never tried it, cotton does not travel well.

What a Great Game!

Mine had a small foam football

Some Rams fans used to swear up and down that Les was a puppet and Brad was the real architect.

What? That's not true? I swear Snead calls Holmes still and asks him what he should do with the team.

ah, that explains it. Still doing Les' job so he can't focus on his own. Poor guy!

Not sure why ours came with the Cardinals and Bears, because neither were good at the time. We had to paint our own Vikings and Rams.

My neighbor friend got his for Christmas 1969 with those two teams. I got Giants in blue and Browns in white Christmas 1968 and then ordered RAMS in blue AND white and Jets. AFL teams were only available in their dark jerseys.

 

[David Ray]

This was the set I had. Came with Vikings/ Dolphins, probably because of SB 8 that was a maybe 2 yrs before I got the game. There was a place where you could order other teams, which I did. I had like a dozen different teams. Including both Rams home & away team colors.

I think my parents might still have it stashed away at their house.

Did the Minute Scrotum BiQueens get their clocks cleaned on the vibrating metal, also?

Curious how long this lingers for him. He certainly wouldn't be able to handle play calling duties if he had to today. Long time between now and week 1 though.

I think the set back isn’t necessarily game time, but more so the preparations for the season. This is a bad time to not be at full mental capacity as a HC

But they would fray out and get fluffier with use.

This is ridiculous. Not that I give a shit about the welfare of the 49ers, but he should have to be cleared like any player.

It’s a little different since he’s not getting repeatedly hit in the head.

Just being on the sideline, the stimulus he speaks of, he's not going to be able to concentrate. Like I said, what's bad for the 49ers is good for us, but this ain't healthy.

But they would fray out and get fluffier with use.

Did the additional 'fluffiness' make it easier to complete a forward (or backward for that matter) pass?
Asking for my eleven year old friends back then.

I put the blue number 14 on the back of the colored 'end' (Wendell Tucker). I took my RAMS to a friend's house (circa 1969) and played on his gridIRON against his Cowboys (who were noticeably larger, being from a different model# game) and 14 ran back THREE Kickoffs for TDs. Unfortunately, he was running back kickoffs after Cowboys scores and 'Dallas' prevailed 28-21.

 

[David Ray]

That is an interesting combination but you would have had Gales Sayers and Dick Butkus.

Got mine after Super Bowl IV ... so it was the Chiefs and Vikings.

And Larry Wilson and Jackie Smith would have represented the Big Red.
