I'd say

2 plays for Lions = fumble
2 plays for Titans = TD

Gain of 26 on the play

Great route by McDonald. He was wide open.

Who are the backups?

For culpepper? If I recall the Lions qb situation is not pretty.

by dodgers_suck on Nov 27, 2008 12:52 PM EST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

Yup

They got an extension and sold it out on Tuesday.

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.

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.

Definitely

It’s been a while, though. Most of the recent games have been close for a bit, except for the Jags game IIRC.

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.

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.

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.
