 Bring on Kraemer! Let's see the kid play.
Too bad he's on the practice roster for this week. Maybe next week

 This is what many fans had been fearing. Reilly out and no real backup developed. We have Danny O’Brien, O’Reilly’s butler, when Kramer should have been given reps this year to prepare for something like this. Inexcusable. #

The Lions defence always just vanishes in games they need to win.

Hard to imagine them even getting a first down this game. But you never know I guess. Can obrien even throw the ball?

So you have to ask why. Why did O'Brien deserve a roster spot? Why didn't we develop a backup? O'Brien won't be anywhere near us next year.

Same old story against the Eskimos. Getting owned at the line of scrimmage that leads to a huge hit and season ending injury to Reilly. Now we get to find out how bad O'Brien really is and why the hell Hervey wanted him so badly in the first place.

Lions took advantage of a soft stretch in their schedule. About to go 0-8 against the West.

Allowing teams to dress only two quarterbacks is idiotic.

Broken wrist. Reilly (and the Lions) is done for the year

Anyone know why the Lions didn't dress a 3rd quarterback all season ? Salary cap ?

What's with the league losing so many starting QB's to injury. Who wants to watch a league of backups and 3rd stringers.

It was strictly a salary cap decision to dress two QBs. They invested so much in Reilly that they couldn’t afford to dress a third QB.
