Interesting kickoff
(And yes Fox, we get it, Rod Marinelli would rather kick into Lake Michigan than to Hester)

Great pass to Roy
I would go deep once or do an out pass to get out of bounds.

Pass to the endzone is incomplete

First Half
Pretty impressive first half really.
Sure is nice to see a Lions team that doesn't make tons of stupid penalties. THAT really makes a difference between winning and losing.
I'm glad we're keeping the ball away from Hester but can't Jason just boot em through the endzone?
I mean the Lions are giving them a starting position between the 30 and 40 yard line. I've seen Jason kick em out the back several times. Does he just not have the leg anymore?
Having Jones back is awesome. Defenses can't key on the running game or just sit back and play the pass. The offense is dangerous... unless we try pass plays on third and inches while deep in our own territory.
Kudos to Hanson. Plenty of distance on that 52 yarder. Wish they had a better camera angle so we could see how the heck it went through. It sounded like it drilled the upright.
2nd half starting. Lets go lions!
Maybe if we can get to 5-2 then there will be more than two people posting during the games here.

Great points
And yes, if the Lions get better hopefully more people will start posting. Heck, it took 4 wins just to get me out here lol.

Posting.
I was the only one posting during the Washington game... and I was mostly pissed.
This year has been sooooo refreshing. I got so used to watching this team beat themselves over the years that it looked like there would be no end to it.
I still don't always feel good about this team but it's 1000% better than the impending doom I had to look forward to every Sunday.
Oops... Hanson just donked a shortie. Hopefully it won't matter.

The 'P' word.
Speaking of drafts... won't it be nice to not have to pick a wide receiver in the first round next year. Sure would like to get a kick ass linebacker or a lock down corner.
Say the Lions go 8-8 or 9-7. What does our first round pick look like next year? Middle first round? Do we have any extra picks coming?
Touchdown Chicago.
Come on Offense. Erase that sucker.

McDonald is having a nice game.
Seems like he ALWAYS runs backwards after the catch but it worked this time for a first.

Great field position but I'd rather play it safe
by Sean Yuille on Oct 28, 2007 3:26 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Give it to them on the 40
Now when Hester (spelled it right this time) is in for the offense we need to shy away from just keying on him. The Bears have been using him to just open up the rest of the players.
Watch out for wide pitches and trick end-arounds.
Keep containment.

Luckily
Hester is pretty much all they have.
If we don't get penalties we should be able.... CRAP!!!! Pass interference on an uncatchable ball.

Also, we're halfway there to that certain prediction by a certain QB.

Is this really happening?
Could the Sarge really be putting something together here? I reserve the right to withhold judgment until the Lions play Green Bay. But right now, this is beginning to look pretty good.
