Got hit by one guy and another came in to knock it loose

Oh well
Let’s go Collins, LenDale White, and Justin Gage… all starters on my fantasy team.

Culpepper hits Calvin for a first down, gain of 13

I'd say
2 plays for Lions = fumble
2 plays for Titans = TD

Play-action pass goes to McDonald down to the Tennessee 33
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Gain of 26 on the play
Great route by McDonald. He was wide open.

Culpepper just gets rid of it in the flats to Smith for an incomplete pass
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
If Culpepper goes down
Drew Henson will take over. If he goes down, I believe it would be Shaun McDonald.

Or not
It was just thrown past a defender and nearly intercepted.

Hanson has now tied Morton Anderson's record for the most 50+ yard field goals

Me too
What did he ever do to deserve this bad of a team?

Yup
They got an extension and sold it out on Tuesday.

Good
That would have been an epic fail if it was blacked out.

Johnson runs in for a touchdown on 3rd and 5 on a draw
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
jeepers
hang on, I gotta check no one is using him against me….he’s probably on a pace for a hundred point day at this point….
It reminds me of the 6 touchdown game Manning had four years ago
Completely owned my fantasy team. I wish LenDale White was getting some carries right now.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Johnson simply ran through a huge hole and around all Lions defenders
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
they make it look so easy
i mean, you watch the Lions D, and feel like you could go for a hundred yards on these guys
I know
Joe Barry is a joke of a defensive coordinator.

Damn
The Lions are obviously cannot play catch-up. Have they tried a bomb to calvin with culpepper yet?
Culpepper scrambles around on the play-action and gains less than a yard if anything
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Culpepper had time and threw it too high for Calvin, who was covered anyways
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Starting guard and center are not playing I believe
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Punt is returned nowhere
Titans will take over at the 22 or so yard line.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Johnson simply ran straight up the field and sprinted for a first down
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Johnson is going to be a fantasy machine this week
Holy cow. Over 100 yards rushing already for the Titans.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Collins finds Johnson
No first down for a change.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Nope
I’m usually in Ann Arbor but I’m back home about an hour or so north of Detroit.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
naturally, I’m playing against chris johnson in a must win situation….I was 5-0 in that league, I’m about to get knocked out of the playoffs with a 6-7 record. I blame Brian Westbrook….and to think I was offered a Westbrook for Adrian Peterson trade straight up earlier in the season…
That sucks
I gotta win in the POD league to have a chance to make the playoffs and the Titans aren’t doing shit for me right now since it’s all Chris Johnson.

Titans defender returns it 17 yards for a TD.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Definitely
It’s been a while, though. Most of the recent games have been close for a bit, except for the Jags game IIRC.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
i don’t wanna listen to sports talk tomorrow, people are going to be whining about taking thanksgiving away from the Lions
I know it
Every SportsCenter in the last day has talked about that. Thankfully all of the anchors have said to keep it the way it is, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we do get it taken away after this performance.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
5 years ago to the day
We beat Green Bay 22-14 I think.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Alright
Check that again, refs change it back to a delay of game.

Culpepper barely gets it off and finds Smith for a gain of 9
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
I don't think so
He probably tried to dive after he realized the punt was so bad.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
89 yards rushing on 5 carries for Johnson
He had 2 TDs as well.

A running clock like they do in high school would be nice
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
According to Wikipedia
“At the middle or high school level, 34 states use a mercy rule that may involve a "continuous clock” – that is, the clock continues to operate on most plays when the clock would normally stop, such as an incomplete pass – once a team has a certain lead (e.g., 35 points) during the second half."
If the lions were a high school team (which they are playing like) they would fit the criteria for it to be enforced haha.
by dodgers_suck on Nov 27, 2008 1:57 PM EST up reply actions
My former high school went winless last year and we got to see the running clock all the time
Definitely makes games go faster.

Johnson gains 5 or so on the screen after reversing the field
He should’ve been tackled for a loss.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Is this the worsed we've looked?
This is only the second game I’ve been able to watch this year, Detroit ain’t on TV much in Australia.
Collins was stripped of the ball by Avril, who recovered it and returned it to the 1
Give him the TD refs.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Up in Ft Wayne for the holiday.
First time all season getting to watch the Lions on a real tv. Not missing anything. I knew they were bad, but today they really look pathetic. Nice fumble recovery, though.
"It's probably similar to being in New York City and having a cab driver behind you and you're driving too slow. It's not the most pleasant thing."
Barry Sanders, on what defensive backs who played against him compared him to.

“the pressure is on for playoff positioning”
the cbs football promo just just aired right after another third down Culpepper tried to throw to the other team….
We want Henson! We want Henson!
at this point, I’m almost ready to forgive him turning his back on Michigan to sell his soul to a Ohio State guy (Steinbrenner)
here's the dilemma....
….do i watch the rest of this mess, or go back to Rocky III, which I watched through the third quarter?
who is this team's MVP, anyway?
Hanson, Nick Harper, or Calvin Johnson?
I’d give it to one of the kickers, probably Jason Hanson….
Let's run up White's stats
I need all the points I can get for fantasy football. Collins and Gage didn’t do crap.

Jenkins was back there to return and is bounced right off of his hands

Griffin was right there for Tennessee to recover it
What a joke.
