We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
Good half
I hope we can put up some points on the 1st drive of the 2nd half.
Wow

Well I mean Vikes have 12 men on the field every play...
once you count Backus
He ain't on their offence though

The Lions need to realize that they only won ONE HALF!
We still have to block and do the same things so that we WIN THE GAME! COME ON!!!
Screens
If they keep bringing a lot of pressure let’s run a couple screens to K-Smith.
They'll be no bailing

What looked like a 4 yard loss turned into a first down

Peterson breaks free and picks up a big gain
Favre threw a block on Buchanon for him to pick up 14.

Delmas hit him hard and Peterson took off his helmet
Should have been a penalty.

They had alot of opportunities to score
An FG is acceptable to me, especially when it should’ve been 3 and out a long time ago but the flag was called.

They choked yesterday. I knew this would happen. Go to Minnesota and get swept. Suddenly the division is right back in the hands of the Twins.

Unbelievable.....
WTF is wrong with these guys?? We were WINNING! So let’s come out flat in the 2nd half…..wtf….
Wow
It seems like the first half was 2 years ago
I spray paint my dog Honolulu Blue and Silver
Pic - me and the great Herman Moore
One score game still
but we have to put a good drive together right now
keep this game simple field goals will keep us in it,
don’t panic, Queens not moving the ball well either. just put points of the board and keep us in it……
Unreal.
I can’t take this anymore. Lets go Staff.
I spray paint my dog Honolulu Blue and Silver

This team lacks talent
They need to play a perfect game every week. 2 turnovers and penalties are not gonna get us a win anytime soon.
I spray paint my dog Honolulu Blue and Silver
Pic - me and the great Herman Moore
Smart tackling.
in the first half, our players stayed in front and waited to make tackles. This half, all i see is fools diving, missing tackles. We need to fix this.
OK - lets get a stop
Ok – we get good field position too
I spray paint my dog Honolulu Blue and Silver
Pic - me and the great Herman Moore
Got go get something going
I spray paint my dog Honolulu Blue and Silver

Take a shot downfield
Stretch the D – Vikes are worried about the run
I spray paint my dog Honolulu Blue and Silver
Pic - me and the great Herman Moore
You know.....for all of the guys who talked about Culpepper never taking a shot downfield....
Stafford sure is dinking and dunking a lot…..
Punt fair caught at the 17
Net gain of only 25. So not worth it.
Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
I don't know if any if any of you...
…are paying attention to your fantasy leagues, but Chris Johnson has nearly 300 yards in total offense for the Titans. He has scored me 50 points in my fantasy league and they are only 5 minutes into the 3rd qt.

We would have won this game and the last one with Daunte at the helm.....
In my opinion…..but what the fuck do we know. Stafford is the man now, and we have to stick with him.
You can't say that
Daunte could’ve thrown just as many picks, it’s a moot point.

The most annoying thing
We were just as good as the Vikes for much of the game. A bad ref call and some mistakes have cost us.

This is a joke I call foul on myself for letting lions draft this kid
I’ll say it and I’ll say it loud…………………. IT WAS A MISTAKE PLAYING THIS KID OFF WEEK 1 KDAWG YOU WERE RIGHT WE SHOULD OF STARTED CULPEPPER, I’LL TAKE ON ALL FIGHTERS AFTER THE GAME. Culpepper should start week 3, another year of a 1st round pick and I don’t want to hear shit about giving up on this one….. Stafford not’s ready to lead this team this year put him on the bench or get ready for another 0-16 year AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GOOD NIGHT……………………………….

Stafford goes deep and overthrows a wide open Bryant Johnson
Easy TD.
Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
We let a guy complete 23 of 27 passes
and you people seriously think it makes a difference who we started at QB?
First of all
Daunte Culpepper has always thrown a lot of interceptions, they’re not exclusive to Matt Stafford.
Second of all, we can’t stop passing games at all. If they needed to score, they would. Every time. You can’t win games like that.
They're angry
People make more clearer judgements with a day or two to think about things
