Well this is awesome

Not only is there nothing on FOX, but CBS has a DirecTV logo bouncing around and has since yesterday. Freaking great.

WHOO HOO!

daunte gonna get his roll on….smith gets his second 100 yard game

Seems like that happens every weekend

And I still haven’t found any streams. At least if the Thanksgiving game is blacked out the entire country will be able to watch it (minus those in the local Detroit area), so there should be a stream of it.

Stevens drops the pass

Wouldn’t have been a first down anyways. 4th down and another punt coming up.

So does Detroit Look good..

or does Tampa BAy look bad? All Ican see is the gamecast.

by TonyDC on Nov 23, 2008 1:33 PM EST reply actions  

I'm not sure either (just now started watching the game itself)

Seems like a combination of Calvin is awesome and TB sucks.

So basically...

we need CJ and Hanson to do enough to cover up the pathetic defense and keep us in it or get us way ahead.

by TonyDC on Nov 23, 2008 1:35 PM EST up reply actions  

On that run, that hole was enormous

So on that one I would say that TB just looked bad..

You read that right, Lions lead 17-0

Wasn’t expecting to type that today.

what in the wide wide world of sports is going on around here?

the pathetic thing, as conditioned as I am as a Lions fan, I’m already wondering how the Lions will manage to lose this game….

So am I!

Isn’t that pathetic?

by TonyDC on Nov 23, 2008 1:44 PM EST up reply actions  

I think we all are

Just the way it is. Anytime the Lions do anything positive it’s natural for us to think what bad can happen.

No...

but if it is about how he buys homes for single parents I am familiar with it. He is an amazingly generous person, no matter where he played, whether it was Tampa or Atlanta.

by TonyDC on Nov 23, 2008 1:50 PM EST up reply actions  

Yeah

The story I linked to was about how he faced his mothers killer.

Dunn got the handoff in the shotgun

And ran down the middle of the field. He spun past a defender and ran by Lions players to get into the end zone.

Yup

He’s been in the league since 1997.

sitting on my bench against you Sean in the the POD league. Once again, I ignore the rule that if you have anyone playing against the Lions USE THEM, and it burns me…

about that matchup

I was feeling pretty good in the early going until TO’s 75 yards TD….kind of thing that tightens up the ole matchup right quick…

by ahtrap on Nov 23, 2008 2:05 PM EST up reply actions  

You should be fine

You have Rodgers and Jacobs still to play among others. I have Michael Turner and that’s pretty much it.

I wake up this morning (I from Australia so it’s 6am right now) and Lions lead 14-0 and as soon as I come to watch what’s going on, we start playing like crap.

I just watched a game on pay tv one time

Then I made the mistake of picking the Lions when I decided to choose a team and I can’t change now, it’s been 5 years.

Wow, i mean losing momentum is one thing

but becoming a completely different team is something else..

Can’t wait till we clean house on our Def coaches and players

by Fuzzdog20 on Nov 23, 2008 2:11 PM EST reply actions  

what do you guys think...

offensive line, defensive line, secondary, or linebackers, whats the most important issue in the offseason.

by lions_sucker on Nov 23, 2008 2:14 PM EST reply actions  

sure...

but if you could pick only one, what one do you think is most to blame. Keep in mind that it’s obviously a combination of all of them.

by lions_sucker on Nov 23, 2008 2:16 PM EST up reply actions  

That's a tough one

I’d like to say start with a franchise o-lineman. Then we probably need secondary help, and a MLB, and a DE, and a QB, and you get the idea.

Someone who can actually frighten in the opposing O-line.

i know the Lions suck but they now have a franchise WR and RB and we haven’t had that combo since moore and sanders

Play stands

Don’t get what Gruden was thinking there.

Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog

by Sean Yuille on Nov 23, 2008 2:19 PM EST reply actions  

I think...

that the lions need to spend pick 1 on oline, pick 2 on dline, and every other pick on defense in general. Then, pick up 1 starting caliber free agent for the oline and dline, and aquire secondary and linebackers with trades.

by lions_sucker on Nov 23, 2008 2:20 PM EST reply actions  

especially if we take a LT...

allows backus to move to guard, where supposedly he’d be stronger

disagree...

I think the lions need to worry about special teams when they have a line that can complete drives and a defense that can force punts.

God damnit

Holding on Backus.

by Fuzzdog20 on Nov 23, 2008 2:29 PM EST reply actions  

heres my problem...

this looks just like last week. Lions dominate the 1st quarter, get dominated in the 2nd. The rest of the game will be mistake after mistake and the defense won’t wake up, and the lions may take the lead in there somewhere, but will not hold it, and lose by 4 or 5 points.
