Need to find a way to get Calvin the ball a little more in the 2nd half
if we want to do anything
by WestsideLionsFan on Sep 13, 2009 2:49 PM EDT reply actions
Have to score on the opening drive
And we need a bunch of stops. Gosh this is going to be tough
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
Yeah, just looks like a bad D getting beat up by an excellent offense
by explosivo2k2 on Sep 13, 2009 2:50 PM EDT up reply actions
Agreed
Did anyone REALLY expect us to win this one anyway?
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
The numbers for
the offense aren’t that great either.
Being down so much is probably a factor
Which sounds a lot like last year unfortunately
by explosivo2k2 on Sep 13, 2009 2:55 PM EDT up reply actions
Julian Peterson isn't even on the stat sheet.
Where’s he been?
by Barry the Great on Sep 13, 2009 2:51 PM EDT reply actions
Time to bring the LBs
safeties and anyone else. Put Brees on his arse a few times. He’s completing the passes anyways. May as well try and take away his timing. Sitting back and letting him pick us apart is a recipe for 28 more.
Strahan's gap tooth is so distracting
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
Yes we had a lot of missed opportunities
with the pick, and the bush fumble
by WestsideLionsFan on Sep 13, 2009 2:55 PM EDT up reply actions
Agreed
With our defense playing the way it has, we really need to capitalize on all opportunities we can
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
I really want to
do a Lions vs Saints game on Madden and play it like it should turn out.
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
no what makes me ill is we are kicking ourselves in the teeth
with the pentalties
by Liontotheextreme on Sep 13, 2009 2:55 PM EDT reply actions
Eh
Only one false start, I can live with that
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
we got 2 unsportsmanship conducts
and a roughing the passer
by Liontotheextreme on Sep 13, 2009 2:56 PM EDT reply actions
I can still live with that
If the defense was having a good game, those penalties would hurt more, but as of now they’re just more shit on top of the pile
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
must keep postive, a TD drive and some luck who knows
Let’s see it HC can keep things cool, need better play calling to help Staff,
Given that we've overturned half the roster and started a rookie qb
I can’t say I’m as disappointed as I would be if we had played DC in this game.
by WestsideLionsFan on Sep 13, 2009 2:58 PM EDT reply actions
We've had
one good drive all game that ended in a field goal and our only other opportunities have been off of good field position and turnovers.
Well at least we've had the ball longer
Although it’s because the Saints score so fast.
Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Staff has been throwing alot of balls low
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
He's been throwing a bunch off of his back foot too.
Got happy feet.
I expected Staff to make bad decisions
but really it’s been his bad throws that have been the problem so far.
by WestsideLionsFan on Sep 13, 2009 3:01 PM EDT up reply actions
The knock on him before the draft was never
arm strength. It was accuracy and decision making.
wow over 200 yds off passing
That’s unnacceptable. Where’s Ko Simpson? Or even Kalvin Pearson
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
Stafford hits Calvin
TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
HOOORAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
2009 = The start of the Lions Golden Age (We hope).
by Hyperion Ecta on Sep 13, 2009 3:04 PM EDT up reply actions
Knowing the Lions
if he did tep out we’ll probably settle for a FG
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
Dear Calvin Johnson
Can you adopt me as your child?

Haha that was after malcolm jenkins
Didn’t realize that
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
I loved the fire Jim showed
Getting in the refs face about to rip his fucking head off. Loved it. And absolutely terrible call
huuuuge delay on the radio feed
have they called it a TD on the challenge, or are they still looking at it?
Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
WTF
Now we can’t even challenge because we wouldn’t be awarded a touchdown.
Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Unbelievable
That’s a play as a ref you let go and then fall back on review so that the td can happen
If we don't score
Man……..that’ll hurt
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
If it's 4th and goal
You have to think they go for it. Down by 18
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
He was getting ass jungled
That has to be pass interference
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
It appears to be a good call
And I’m sure the fact that we got screwed earlier helped them make it.
Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
We will take it

by CapitolLions on Sep 13, 2009 3:09 PM EDT up reply actions
Does that ref have a speech impediment or something?
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
Definitely looks like a make up call
We deserve it, though.
Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
yeah that's a bad call
pass interference woudl have been better
Fuck no, we got ripped...
we deserve it…

How hard is it to get 3 yards on 6 chances?
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
If we can't score after all this we should forfeit the rest of the game

They will get us in HAHA

This is the worst officiated game I have ever seen. Not only am I disgusted, I’m finding it hard to keep watching the game.
Go Lions.
Screw it, fuck the saints man..
I am pumped….keep throwing the flags!

by Barry the Great on Sep 13, 2009 3:13 PM EDT reply actions
Hahaha
half the distance, half the distance, half the distance. I wonder how close we can get the ball to the goal line without getting in.
that didn't even look in
but hey i’ll take it.
Hope they make a point to draw up some new goalline run plays
for the williams wall next week

He don't have the size

Mebbe if he
turns my water to wine, I can enjoy this game a little more.
momentum
the bad call on the CJ play really negated a lot of momentum on our part.
Those Ref's were bound and determained to get the Lions in the endzone HAHA
http://cmufootball.blogspot.com/
It's kinda meh.. very similar to Jet's pizza if you're familiar with that at all
not as good

never heard of it
may be an east side only thing though.
Idk
I really like it. Some people don’t
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
This years Lions are showing some fight...
Last we would have been thinking about the next game already
Delhomme has thrown 4 picks
People with Eagles D in FF should be happy
2009 = The start of the Lions Golden Age (We hope).
Flea flicker
Brees heaved it and got picked off. A few Lions had a shot at it.

heath evans carries foote and peterson for a first down
our linebackers are our strength on d right?

Haha
mike and tatum formed a pretty decent tandem in Denver for a year or 2. Then he came to Detroit and we found out he couldn’t stop fumbling
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
over the last couple years they have the most pass attempts in the league
and the least sacks… don’t count on our loser defensive front to get to him
Can't we get at least one shot on him?
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
We're making Mike Bell look damn good

How come when we put 8 or 9 in the box the Saints still kill us, but when they do it...
we throw our hands up and die?

They have a brilliant O-line

It's pretty decent
But their left tackle is injured, so we should be able to get at least one
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
I had hope for this game
but I was trying to be honest with myself that it would be a really hard one for us. Staff will grow, he just needs to throw a few good plays to build up that confidence.
It could be much worse
Still time to go yet though
2009 = The start of the Lions Golden Age (We hope).
by Hyperion Ecta on Sep 13, 2009 3:30 PM EDT up reply actions
Could be better too
Bush hand delivered a chance to make this close at the end of the half.

Anybody seen J Peterson blitzing yet?
I’ve been looking for it but haven’t seen it yet.
by WestsideLionsFan on Sep 13, 2009 3:30 PM EDT reply actions
Another TD and we did well enough for me...
But obviously I want a win..

8 men in coverage can’t stop him so why not?

Can you believe this guy was a 6th rder?
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
Our run game is nonexistant
It is unbelievably terrible
Terrible officiating...
Once I heard it was Mike Carey’s crew, I knew it would be this kind of game. IMO, worst ref in the NFL……seen him make insanely bad calls for years now, often screwing over the Lions.
What? He can’t block a dead gopher? Humph, details.
I don't even know why we try to run in the red zone anymore
short passes linehan
by WestsideLionsFan on Sep 13, 2009 3:34 PM EDT reply actions
Brown and Northcutt
How disappointing. To go so far and not go all the way for a TD. Geez
by Barry the Great on Sep 13, 2009 3:34 PM EDT reply actions
Smith hestitates and doesn't get in
Had we run the reverse to Calvin it’s a TD. (We faked it)
Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
One thing to remember
our offense has been doing a decent job and we haven’t had one pass to Pettigrew, who looks to be a major part of the offense. It’s like if the Chargers lose Antonio Gates
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
Alot of Staff's passes have been short
I said this twice now
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
Wow Stafford
Give him a chance to catch it
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
Can't believe we were inches away from the TD and didn't get it
Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
I really can't help but thinking
Would Culpepper make that pass?
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
Same with me
But seeing that ugly pass, I couldn’t help myself
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne

another three points at the end of the second half, and it's a ballgame
Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
especially since the saints wouldn't have their 3 without that Sharper pick setting it up
Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
At least he didn't throw a pick
we’re still in this game, let’s be thankful for that. NO is going to play ball control now til the end and try to milk the clock
by WestsideLionsFan on Sep 13, 2009 3:38 PM EDT reply actions
Stafford's got happy feet.
He’s not setting and throwing. Although that would require time.
I'm just happy
to still be watching a game in the 3rd quarter
One more field goal by the Saints
And my prediction is spot on!
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
that was quick
naturally, I’m playing against Brees in at least one ff league
Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
Brees really is the best pocket passer in football
by Barry the Great on Sep 13, 2009 3:42 PM EDT reply actions
Agreed
So let’s make the pocket go away. Blitz that MFer.
Julian Peterson anybody? Anybody? Isn't this what we traded for him for?
by Barry the Great on Sep 13, 2009 3:43 PM EDT up reply actions
I always thought
he was just a coverage LB. Oh wait. Sorry, he’s known for blitzing that’s right.
+1
Can’t believe the Chargers just gave him away
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
The only thing I have to look forward to
Is I hope Detroit comes within 14 so I win my bet
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
Without the pick?
Probably around 160
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
Brown returns this one to the 15
Ran into one of his own players.
Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Stafford was under pressure
Hits Bryant Johnson on the out. I didn’t think he caught it, but the refs said he did.
Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Saints challenge
This wasn’t even close. These refs are f-ing pathetic.
Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
so now Staff is throwing...
could this not have happened earlier
maybe they're just trying to have pity on the Lions?
Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
Playing for respect now
lets put up 30 points
by WestsideLionsFan on Sep 13, 2009 3:46 PM EDT reply actions
True
Especially if their defense is much improved like many say it has.
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
How is it taking this long?
All you need is one freaking replay to tell the call was incorrect.
Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
It's good to know that refs all over the world are shit
2009 = The start of the Lions Golden Age (We hope).
I think the refs bet on this game
The spread is +14, lert’s see if they force a TD
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
Staff had time and threw a terrible pass that was intercepted
Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
didn't see it, the feed cut out
You think the internet gods are trying to protect me? :)

Wow
Bell had it punched loose and Delmas picked it up, sprinted by Brees and was gone!
Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
That pass that stafford threw to noone, kevin smith just stopped completely on the play
he wasn’t even watching the ball
I watched Delmas for 3 years as a student at WMU
knew he was good, never knew he had this in him
by WestsideLionsFan on Sep 13, 2009 3:51 PM EDT reply actions
Really wish we would have scored a TD instead of a FG on that one drive
Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Yup
Problem is we aren’t good enough to squander chances like that.
Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Go Delmas!
Without pictures and delayed audio, things can be pretty disorienting.

Well
It’s been a crazy game, but I haven’t been completely pissed all game like a lot of games last year.

The Lions:
The only team in the league where an 11 pt deficit is an improvement

is it seriously still the 3rd quarter?

True
But the Saints missed on some oportunities as well

Didn't we keep it respectable last year with him?
I know we should have won one of the two games.
This is so awesome... it's like i'm watching the daily shows version of the draft..
by MatthewDC on Apr 25, 2009 7:35 PM EDT
yep, playing against him in a different ff league
His last TD was sick, the guy had him hogtied, and AP got away and scampered into the end zone
Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
I'm fairly sure
Calvin will have a much longer career. We’d have blown AD’s prime like we blew Barry’s.
Every time Bush touches the ball now
I expect him to fumble
by WestsideLionsFan on Sep 13, 2009 3:54 PM EDT reply actions
sad.
You can just see the lineman reaching for brees, desperate for a sack.
Good bye, Figurs.
With Northcutt good on punt returns and Brown looking good on kick returns…no need for him
by Barry the Great on Sep 13, 2009 3:55 PM EDT reply actions
He did get a tackle
That has to count for something
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
at least
the Lions are looking like they want it, just need Stafford to settle in and start hitting some pass’s.
That quarter seemed longer than a normal half
Stupid refs

by Hyperion Ecta on Sep 13, 2009 3:56 PM EDT up reply actions
Yea
Sometimes games are done by this time, and we still have another quarter.
Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
We need a 4th-quarter comeback
Time to activate Drew Stanton and wheel him out there, lol
What? He can’t block a dead gopher? Humph, details.
A stop
And at the lest a field goal, and I don’t need anything else for CHristmas
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
It's gotten to the point where
the only way to stop them is to force a turnover
