Almost halftime in the Lions Ravens Game and the score is
only 7 to 6. I thought there would be
more scoring in this game. What I have
seen in this game are the reasons these two teams are 7 and 6 for their season
record going into this game. 9 to 7
Ravens at the half.
Mouthfeel: very low carbonation – just a super fine fizz on
the palate; thick but not syrupy; nothing overpowering; good bitterness for a
Stout; lingering roasted notes on the aftertaste; dry;
To the Point: a pleasing and easy to drink Oatmeal Stout; very
good – to call it outstanding would be pushing it for me; but, I sure do like
it.
Final Score from this Monday Night Football game between the
Lions and the Ravens: 16 to 18 Ravens win or should we say the Refs won the
game for the Ravens. Two really bad interference
calls during the game. But, the Lions
really didn't help themselves either to be fair. Dropped footballs and of course turnovers.
Just a side note about those elite teams that are 7 and 6 –
they don’t go 7 and 7 when their playoff dreams are at hand. God do they suck! They were 5 and 1; now 7-7; they hate to be in first place; oh, now they are not - so all is well in the world of the Detroit Lions.
