My Thoughts from the game

There were some things i liked, but also some things that scare me.
What i Liked:
The Return Game) I liked what i saw from Aaron Brown and Dennis Northcutt. For the frst time since Eddie Drummond we actually have guys who can return a football.
The Defensive Intensity) Louis Delmas,Ernie Sims,Larry Foote they all showed a nasty streak we haven't had in a long time.
The LB core and Secondary) They played great i would have like to see a few more blitz packages, but an Interception for the secondary, a fumble return, and a lot of hard hitting.
What i Disliked:
Tunnel Vision) Matthew Stafford looked to me like he made his decision before the snap, he dropped back looked for an opening and whipped it in there, sometimes he hit sometimes he missed. GO THROUGH YOUR CHECKS.
Offensive Line) We couldn't run, our QB had no time,costly Penalties,blah,blah,blah. The Offensive Line needs to step up its game
The Offense) Where was Felton? Brown? Pettigrew? Why didn't Northcutt and B. Johnson get more passes thrown there way? I mean look Kevin Smith is good but you have a nice opportunity to mix things up, why don't you?
The Defensive Line) Where is the pressure? Where the heck did Cliff Avril Disappear to? Cohen,Fluellen and Hill have to step up if the want to win any games.
Im sure there are other things i forgot to mention but to me those are the big ones i don't know if you see the same things i do but to me these are major things. If Stafford doesn't go through the routes he will not be a good QB in the NFL he needs to relax and make the right decision, maybe its the Offensive Line not giving him any help idk.
Well tell me what you thought of the game.

My thoughts on your thoughts
First, I don’t think the LB’s or the secondary played great. They were solid, at times, but ineffective in others. Defintely improvement and potential there.
Second, BJ did make a few catches, although, I don’t know why Grew didn’t get a catch.
Lastly, like KDawg said, White and Avril weren’t necessarily bad, there were just not helped by the inside rush, Brees just kept on stepping up out of their path.
2009 = The start of the Lions Golden Age (We hope).
A Schwartz quote on Grew
"Yeah, you know, there were a few times looking back at the film that we probably should’ve got him the ball. We were trying to push the ball deeper down the field and all of our tight ends were a little bit more open underneath. That, again, goes to being down and trying to catch back up in the game. It’s hard to be patient and take 5-yard gains when you need three scores in the fourth quarter."

The secondary sucked
Besides Delmas layin the smack down on some ball carriers, and the interception, they flat out sucked.
Pettigrew will need a few more weeks to catch up. He was out of the training camp loop for a while.
