Week 1 Grade: Offense

Last night's match-up was against the Chicago Bears. Here's how the Offense did:

The offense came out and really, wait a second. Today's only Saturday. Why do I already feel like I watched the game? Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh right, right, right. I've been so loaded and pumped for the first game of the season I actually dreamt of the full game the other night!

I suppose you're wondering why I'm still writing huh? I was going to stop, until I remembered that in my past I actually learned how to become a psychic. I could actually dream the future if I focused hard enough. You're all about to get some Topheritis, side affects may include near fact future predictions. Lucky for you all. So since I am a psychic, I figure I will just act like in my dream is the real game, because it pretty much will be. On with the grades I say!!!

Week 1 Grade: Offense

The offense came out and really set the tempo, reinforcing all of their improvements they showed in the preseason. The first drive a touchdown, the third drive, TOUCHDOWN. Can you guess the final drive? Field goal, hey can't win em all. Here's some of the stats for you to enjoy:

Passing	Att	Cmp	Yds	TDs
Matthew Stafford	35	27	320	1
Jahvid Best	1	1	17	0
Rushing	Car	Yds	Avg	TDs
Jahvid Best	21	111	5.8	2
Maurice Morris	10	40	4.0	0
Receiving	Rec	Yds	Avg	TDs
Calvin Johnson	12	157	13.1	1
Nate Burelson	8	78	9.7	0

Twenty of Staffords total complete passes were between Megatron and Recepticon. There was absolutely no doubt that the Lions were in control the entire game. Time of Possession, First Downs, Third Down Conversions, almost everything belonged to us.

And Julius Peppers. Whose that? He wasn't anywhere to be found during the whole game. Surprisingly Backus held his own. Even when they would move Peppers to the right, he was still well blocked.

The road game losing streak, kaput. The tempo has now been set for the whole season now. The offense looked like the top of the pack with this game. Hopefully they'll keep it up.

Final Grade: A, A+

Week 1 Grade: Defense

Other end of the ball. The defense was outstanding. I think. Oh shoot a green bucket. One thing I couldn't ever get in my Psychic training was retaining some of the dream as time went on. I knew I shouldn't of started to watch Gossip Girl! Always keeps me glued to the TV. Well, I guess you'll just have to wait for Sunday on this front.

Final Grade: TBD (Sunday)

Well there you have it you infected little Lions and or Lionesses. It's getting late and I still have to pass out some more Topheroids before the night is done.

Raise our glasses (of Honolulu Blue Kool-Aid) and let's toast. Here's to finally not being laughed at when we say, I'm a Lions fan. Cheers.

Sorry I made an oath.

To never use this for personal gain. I.E. Making money. Sorry Cruize! I would’ve bought everyone on POD season tickets if I could make money with it!

What if we promise to use all that we don't need for charity?

lol how about that? then it wouldn’t be for personal gain…

I can't risk it

They have certain precautions they take to make sure no one ever does any of that.

That's Nostra-dumb-ass in this particular circumstance

Where are all the quatrains to add to the mystery and skepticism.

Does this mean topher has crystal balls?

Was that Kool-aid spinning around in the paegan dish while he performed his ritual;

I bow to your thought provoking wisdom all-mighty POD sooth-sayer may your predictions come to fruition.

P.S. Can you hook me up with that hot ghost whisperer.

I thought being lazy was a bad thing, So I gave up thinking.

Women, like cars, all have the same parts

Just some are designed better than others.

Now with the poetry taken care of, Good Damn, the Illegal things i would do to her!

Lions fans deserve better than being the laughing stock of the NFL. Lets all hope they are heading in the right direction finally.

LOL

I’d have to take her to vegas so no one knows what we did.

I had a dream were the Lions let me sign a 1 day contract they let me practice with them running drills and catching passes from Matt…At the end of the day I was called into Mayhews office. I was told I had just been traded to seattle for a 5th round draft pick.

What the

Crystal Ball?
Paegan Dish?
Rituals?!

Don’t stereotype. My ball is just glass, not crystal. I’m still a low level.

And about the Ghost Whisperer. Her body doesn’t exist in our realm. You would have to travel to a different one to meet her. Which is too complicated.
