Hey! I'll actually get to watch another live game on real TV
So what’s the official spread for this game? 17? 21? more?
"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.
Wow. That's a lot.
Is Smith playing today? I’d really like to see Stanton in by the half. I’ll guess 38-17

I'm looking for an online stream for those of you that can't see the game
No luck so far, though.

Davenport returns the kick to the 21
Should’ve been tackled inside the 20.

Manning's pass is dropped by Rhodes
He was wide open about 5 yards off the LOS.

Rhodes runs for about 9 yards
Somehow managed to find his way through the defense for a solid gain.

Huge hole to run through on that play.

draft talk
whats everybody’s thoughts for our number 1 pick? i’d still like an o-line men but the experts are starting to sweat bradford big time.
OT
I don’t want a QB, at least not in the first-round. The QBs coming out this year don’t seem like pro-style QBs. Stafford probably is, but I think he’s overrated.

Orlovsky throws a quick pass to Calvin for a loss of a yard or so
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Wow
Look who is starting at MLB for Indy. None other than Buster Davis, the former Lion.

Orlovsky threw a pass to FitzSimmons that should have been caught
FitzSimmons dropped it.

Punt appeared to bounce off of a Colt and was recovered by the Lions I think
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Apparently so
I hope that can’t reverse it if they see returner interference
Cos it looks like we were there early

It may have hit Ramzee first, but there's no indisputable evidence to overturn this
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
smith should have a big game
indy’s run def isnt all that great
Pass a bit too high for Calvin
Still could have caught it, though.

speaking of the cowboys
that drama this weak was hysterical. there were even reports that our boy roy made a comment to witten.
I'd say
They’re about one ass kicking away from completely imploding.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Hopefully the Giants provide the spark needed to start the implosion

Orlovsky's pass to Gaines is incomplete
He was covered and took a hit.

Smith cut to the left and broke a tackle to run for 25 yards

No gain on that run by Rudi
2nd and 10 at the Indy 40.

Pass downfield was nearly intercepted
Calvin got interfered with. Orlovsky and Marinelli are pissed.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
WTF
Calvin got bumped into by the cornerback. Should have been a flag.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
That's the end of the first quarter
Lions trail 7-3 but are driving.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Manning was sacked and appeared to be losing control of the ball as he went down
White had the ball on the ground, and he may have taken it away from him. I’m still waiting to decide what exactly happened since Fox isn’t showing a damn replay.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
And FOX goes to a commercial without showing a replay
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Ball was out
Manning tried to gain possession again and may or may not have. White did come away with it for sure.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Cason unable to return the punt past the 10
Great punt and great coverage by Indy.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Wasted challenge
This was a wasted challenge. Nothing goes Detroit’s way Marinelli should know that by now
About 4 unblocked Colts were downfield waiting for Cason to catch the punt
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Orlovsky goes deep to Johnson and it is nearly intercepted
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Smith gets it on a draw
Throw the ball downfield.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
For real
I get that you want to be safe, but you’re 0-13. Man up and throw the ball downfield. It’s not like it was 3rd and 25 or something.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Manning hits Rhodes but he is short of a first down
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Unnecessary roughness on White
Awesome. Friggin’ awesome.

Play-action goes to Simpson
Big hit on the play by Bodden.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Rhodes is wide open out of the backfield for a first down
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
He's probably done for the season
At least that’s what it looks like. Billick said it usually is an Achilles injury when they hold the foot like that.

Orlovsky hits a wide open Michael Gaines on the play-action

Every time they do something good they shoot themselves in the foot

Calvin caught the quick slant and ran by the entire defense
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Unfortunately my opponent in fantasy football has CJ
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Calvin caught the quick slant and simple ran past the secondary

He almost got caught at the 10 but stayed up until the end zone

It was close
But I think he got them both inbounds.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
They still have a timeout but the time is ticking
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Lions have to throw it to the sideline and hope they get in field goal range
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Smith makes the catch but doesn't get out of bounds
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Play calling sucks
We need to get a whole new caching staff. If they were with the lions during the millen era then they should get fired. We need to bring in a whole new staff
Typical game
Colts drive down the field eat up yardage and use up tons of clock and score. We run the ball a little or for some big gains but O-line gets blown up for loses or a fall start for 5 yards. We turn the ball over a few times. 1 or 2 set of downs per possession. A few big plays to CJ to prevent a blowout. No time of possession = no pounding the rock. Passing game without enough weapons to set up the run and too many -3 yard blowups in running game to set up the pass. That’s the season!

Smith makes a catch for a first down out of the backfield
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
This Ratliff guy fumbled (bounced off of him) earlier in this game on a punt return
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Looks like a Colts player recovered initially but there were too many Lions around and they got it in the pile
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
1st down at the Indy 21
It’s nice to be on the receiving end of mistakes for a change.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Orlovsky hits Calvin on the quick pass and he dove for a first down
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Clark with another catch
He’s got 9 catches for 91 yards today.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Face mask penalty adds 15 yards to the play
Wayne makes another first down catch.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Colts had 2nd and 15, but there was no announcement or flag
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Colts quickly throw the ball on 3rd down and it is overthrown
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
The penalty was holding according to the game tracker
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Jesus
Standeford picked up the ball after it was bouncing inside the 5. That is too dangerous.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
FitzSimmons juggled it but made the catch
And note to the announcer, you’re saying his name wrong.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Smith tackled a few yards short of the first down on a catch out of the backfield
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
That was a jump ball and he simply leapt over the two people covering him
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Orlovsky hits Smith who manages to juke to the right to get close to another first down
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Orlovsky pitched it to Smith who ran for a first down and much more
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
My thoughts exactly
Strange but awesome at the same time.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Smith runs to the outside and he is in for the touchdown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
2-point conversion time
Let’s hope it turns out better than it did in Carolina.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Orlovsky rolled out to the right side and threw it back to FitzSimmons on the left side
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
FitzSimmons avoided one defender and ran into the end zone to tie the game at 21
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Definitely
It’s rare we can say that, but I have to give it to the coaches on that one. The Colts defense was faked out.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
I think it's fair to say that Orlovsky should start if he stays healthy
Dan O is so much better than Culpepper.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
They look good
This is 2 weeks straight the lions look really good. Hopefully we continue the drive the ball.
?????
13 times this year I have watched this team play. Whare has this been all year? They aren’t doing anything special. They are just playing well, bottom line.
Wow
Nice job Packers. They are collapsing pretty quickly.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Harrison has the third most catches in NFL history
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Apparently there was a timeout or something
Fox just went to commercial without saying why. The coverage of the game has been terrible today.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Travis Fisher was injured according to NFL.com
Thanks for the info Fox. Oops…
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Sims tried to get up but went back to the ground
Crap
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Rhodes is hit and falls forward for the first down
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Manning goes deep to Wayne
Pass is caught at the 1. I knew it was too good to be true.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Pass thrown just out in front of Calvin
He made a nice diving effort for it, though.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
I have a feeling that Indy is going to run out the clock and we'll never get the ball back again
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
TO good to be true
Thats the problem with being a Lions fan is they get your hopes up all the time and then they shoot down all hopes and dreams in the fourth
Rhodes runs for 5 yards
Should’ve been tackled for little to no gain.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Not too bad
Thunder Dan looks a little off, but overall a good game so far.
The Saints' playoff hopes are done
But it would take a big collapse for them not to decimate the Lions’ secondary.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Holy shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lions recover a fumble.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
They're still unpiling the players but they signaled Lions ball
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
aaron rodgers just threw an INT to kill the Packers hopes….and dealt a psychological blow to me, the cherilus posse just took its first lead against me in the POD league
I'm down by 7
And don’t like my chances with the players I have left.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
And of course
I’ve scored more points than anyone in the overflow league today. Last week I did terrible and got destroyed.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
It appears as though the Lions will tie the '76 Bucs for the worst record ever at 0-14
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Orlovsky throws it to Calvin, who fumbles
It’s recovered by Indy. Game over.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
At least it helps my fantasy team since my opponent has Calvin
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
No problem
Enjoy the game next week. Hopefully you get to see a win.

Close but no cigar yet again
I’ll have the recap up later today.
