Culpepper dumps it off to Smith for 15 yards and a first down
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Culpepper put it in there on the curl route
Calvin went to the ground to make the catch.

Rudi is close to a first down
He should’ve been tackled for no gain or a loss but spun away to gain a few yards.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Calvin tackled for a loss on the reception
He was a little slow to get up.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
The play was a bootleg but the Panthers' defense wasn't fooled
4th and 1 coming up, and the Lions are going for it. Might as well.

Nice... neutral zone infraction on the Panthers
Two guys jumped.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Smith gets stuffed for nothing
And he only gained 2 on first down surprisingly. It’ll be 3rd and 8.

Culpepper escaped pressure and threw it to a wide open Calvin Johnson in the end zone
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Wow
That’s the first score for the Lions on the opening drive of the game this season.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Great catch by Calvin
Culpepper’s throw came up a tad short and Calvin had to fall to the ground to get it.

i think this guy is filming his tv, but its something for now..
Is Justin.tv working for you?
It seems like the site has crashed ever since the Lesnar/Couture fight last night.

That was clearly a TD on the replay they just showed
Calvin did a great job of getting his hands under the ball.

its working…but can’t find a quality stream…some dude set a webcam up to the tv…you can hear his kids in the background
Here is another JustinTv
culpepper...
I’m really starting to think he might have been a good move. The commentator also said that Daunte feels his knee is at 100%, and thus far he’s looked quick on his feet and pretty agile. I guess today will be a good test since the Panthers look like they’ll be coming all day and Peppers has Backus blocking him, what a mismatch.

Oh yeah
I used that one last week. It was behind but pretty good. Just gotta click the link quickly.

McDonald got ran into
It nearly bounced off of a Lion. There should be a penalty on Carolina for kick catch interference.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Damnit..
I was really hoping to see a second positive drive and crown Culpepper the Lion’s franchise player.
Delhomme should have been sacked by managed to escape and complete a short pass

Good afternoon
Anyone know of a streaming link without a huge lag?

Smith breaks the initial tackle and goes for a big gain

Rudi bounces off a tackler and runs for a first down
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Well, at least we are dominating time of possession.
When was the last time we could say that? Maybe we can keep the defense fresh today.
Smith actually is close to a first down on the draw
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
kevin smith 1st guarter
8 rushes for 56…1 catch for 15
today...
looks like it will be Kevins first game with over 100 yards rushing plus some, hopefully he’ll get some respect after a good performance today.
I bet on the Lions, getting 14.5 points.
I felt like a tard for doing it, but I might just have a chance.
Culpepper had to get rid of it quickly
Smith ran into the umpire and couldn’t make the catch.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
He would've had a chance at the catch had the umpire not been in the way
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Hanson's kick from 40 yards away is good
Even though it may have been tipped.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Wow
10-0. Surprising.

I hope that's not a sign
of when we played minnesota and actually played decent and the refs were out for us. Maybe the last 50 years have been a big conspiracy.
To be fair
Smith was probably trying to use the ref as a pick but the ref wasn’t where he thought he would be.

Kevin Smith!!!!
This is what I’m talking about!!!!!!!

Williams looked like he was going to be tackled for a loss of a few but fought for a gain of a few instead
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Is it jsut me...
…or does Rudi Johnson seem somewhat expendable? He has not been very impressive. Kevin Smith on the other hand continues to have a quiet but consistently good year.
Rudi Johnson...
is still a good back, and for us to have him and be in the position to have him as a backup/mix up back, is a good position to be in. I think if we had one or two improvements on our OLine they’d both be talked about like Johnson/White in Tennessee.

Stewart breaks a tackle and runs for a big rain
It could have been huge but he stumbled and fell on his own. Gain of 21.

It may have been a fumble, but in my opinion there is not enough evidence to overturn this

2:24 goes on the clock
So we’ll have the 2-minute warning again.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
This is about one play away from becoming a blowout
All they need is a score here and it’s over IMO.

Carolina goes deep and it is incomplete
Bad throw.

Stewart runs by everybody for a TD
That was easy.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
what a joke...
im finally starting to agree that the lions will not win a game. They come out strong for once, and now blow it. They either blow leads or start to come back after being down 21 plus points.
Cason with a big return
Could have been a TD but the kicker slowed him up.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
the only way...
to really stay in this game is to get a td before half, or else it will probably end up with another carolina score after the half, and then were down by 15 just like that.
Great blocking on the return
Huge hole to run through. Now the Lions can try to get points.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
agreed..
every cowboys loss is like a detroit win, for next year anyways.

They’re kicking the field goal already. Go for the TD.

That’s enough time for one shot to the end zone.

This team blows.
The Panthers are going to run all over them in the second half. The Lions will wilt.
Hanson hits the 35-yarder
Lions trail 21-16 for 4 seconds left in the half.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
that gives us some hope...
We only need a td to take the lead or two hanson fgs, we just gotta hope our defense comes out and keeps them out of the endzone.
Let's pray...
That the Lions D actually TACKLES in the 2nd half. If they can stop the run we may have a chance
bleepedy bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep!
driving home, heard an update that the Lions were up 10-0 with 10 minutes to go….I get here, and they’ve given up three TDs in the last ten minutes? (Not that that’s surprising) And two TDs in like a minute?
what the justin fargus is going on????
oh, it’s just the lions, doing their usual tricks
Ok doesn't win games, though
They really have work to do in the offseason….

They don't have
enough picks in the draft to help much next year…..need to mostly raft a whole new team. I’d keep Calvin, Smith and Hanson… Hopefully they’ll get a new GM that doesn’t have his head up his butt and do some decent off season moves. be nice to make the playoffs again sometime this century.

Probably Rogers, but we’ll have to see after the season. Depends how Rogers finishes the year.

I only ask...
becasue of the problems with the run. I think Leigh Bodden has a ton of upside, but we can’t stop the run to save our lives.

this is when we get happy...
that we have someone like Jason Hanson, but get pissed when we know how our defense is. Also, isn’t that typical, so close but so far away, pretty acurate example of the lions.
It's up to the defense now
I see visions of Williams and Stewart running wild in my head, though.

You think the Chargers are cold?
They’re playing in the snow in Pittsburgh.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
this years draft...
there’s plenty of oline and dline talent, so if we went to the 2nd or 3rd pick, we’d still be fine in meeting our needs, and if the cowboys fall to the 15th pick, we’d get two A+ additions to our oline and dline, and still be able to aquire 2-3 big name free agents.
True
The situation the Lions will be in this offseason gives them plenty of chances to improve quickly. Whether or not they will is another question.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Just look at the Dolphins
1-15 a year ago and now they are 6-4. Rebuilding quickly is possible.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
i think...
the most important offseason move has to be the gm. that will dictate if we look like the falcons or dolphins or like, well, the lions.
Agree 100%
That is the key to everything. A competent GM can turn this around. Maybe now quite as quickly as Atlanta and Miami, but at least to a point where we win more than a few games. A crappy GM, though, can mean disaster, especially since we will have so many high draft picks.
