for some reason, Tampa Bay-New Orleans is deemed more regional than the lions out here in Madison. I was pissed when I turned the tv on, but, now with this score….
I guess I should be happy for the FF league in which I have Kitna starting, because he’ll be throwing the rest of the game……
for the record, the KROck feed IS available on line, so I’m able to listen to this travesty on the radio….at this moment, I’m not sure it’s a good thing….

At least last year
They let us be excited for a while. This year, they decided to crush all hope real quick for us.

here’s the new thing to bet on: Will the lions win more games in the preseason or regular season???
I had the lions finishing 6-10 this year….with the Falcons being one of the wins….
by ahtrap on Sep 7, 2008 3:53 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Me too
My prediction was 6-10 with optimism that they could get to 7-9 after the preseason. I had this as a Lions win easily. So much for that.

Why take a knee
when you can score another TD and continue the bleeding
by Lions86 on Sep 7, 2008 3:54 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Because they have class?

I was impressed
They could’ve gotten more yards for Norwood, but I’m glad they did it. Sorry you guys had to suffer there, but good game.

switch over to cbs for the end of the jets dolphins

nugent strained his quad when missing a first half fg, and wasn’t available to kick a PAT after a jets TD< they went for 2 and missed it, and now Pennington has a chance to come back and bit his old team in the butt
20-14, minute to go, no TOs left, at midfield

another long dreadful horrid season ahead
Old man Ford, SELL the damn team you loser. Fire Millen at least Shottenheimer makes the damn playoffs. Please bring back Wayne Fontes,,,,,, I would much rather watch a 55 to 14 pounding in the playoffs at the hands of the Eagles than this garbage you have on the field now!!!!! You can’t beat the Falcons? with 2 plays over 60yrd for touchdowns I would be the most embarrased defensive coordinator in the league. I now live in New Jersey and was actually considering buying a satelite dish to watch the Lions. But now I think I will wait until you are 10-6 errrrr I mean never Ford sucks the LIONS suck Millen sucks what a joke everyone in this state thinks I am. I might just become a Brett Favre fan go JETS JETS JETS
