Lions Notes: Broncos RB Willis McGahee To Miss Sunday's Game

  • Broncos running back Willis McGahee is going to miss Sunday's game against the Lions due to a broken finger.
  • There has been a lot of talk about Matthew Stafford's throwing motion as of late, and Jim Schwartz addressed it today during an interview.
  • Lions running back Jerome Harrison reportedly had surgery to remove his brain tumor last Friday, and it went well, according to ESPN.
  • In the wake of the Jim Schwartz/Jim Harbaugh handshake incident, the NFL sent out a memo to teams that basically said fines will be issued in the future for similar post-game conduct. I'm not quite sure why the NFL didn't just fine Schwartz and Harbaugh, but it appears they lucked out.
  • Dick Stockton and John Lynch are going to be the announcers for Sunday's Lions-Broncos game, which means your mute buttons may get a workout.
  • Barry Sanders posted photos from Lions Alumni Day, which was held at Sunday's Lions-Falcons game.
  • Somehow Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan isn't wearing a walking boot despite it looking like he broke his ankle during last Sunday's game. It's amazing how an injury can look so much worse than it actually is.

Ugh

Dick Stockton. How does this guy still have a job?

I agree most times i can handle lynch

but Stockton, OMG that waste of an announcer cant speak the name of our players right, constantly mixes up the play or the call and than overturns himself, if Stockton can be an announcer heck the crazy man that eats breaths and eats Lions can be one since Lynch cant be unbiased towards his old team

Stockton always does Falcons or Lions games it seems

I look forward to a good game Sunday, my Broncos have to play their best and it’s nice to go on our opponent’s page every week to a place where I have a good rapport! Good luck, may the best team win!

With Coach Zorro on our side, we will slice opponents to ribbons. Tim Tebow gives me hope and I already have faith and charity in my heart! I see a propitious future rife with Lombardis for our Broncos!

I sure don't want to hear Lynch talking about late hits or 'dirty' play.

He got called for so many late hits in his career he shouldn’t be saying anything.

No slogans. Just win!!!

At least it's not Joe Buck

My grandfather was a Packers fan, my father is a Vikings fan, I am a Lions fan, and there is no way in hell I am raising a Bears fan.
Oh, and I hate the Philadelphia Eagles (but like the Phillies)

Matt Ryan isn't wearing a boot...

Karma.

Good luck the rest of the season Falcons. I hope we see them in the playoffs.

I read

that his foot came out of his shoe when he got stepped on, and that was part of what made it look so bad. I haven’t checked to see if that’s true or not though, I’m too lazy to confirm it.

Amazing!

From the looks of that injury, Ryan sure looked like a warrior running back from the locker room; nothing soft about him.

The coolest Lion nickname ever belongs to Dick "NIGHT TRAIN" Lane.

I'd rather play the Packers.

If we lose it’d be nice to see a repeat Champion (for us to take down next year.) If we win, we’re in the freaking Super Bowl.

I'm with you, Mav... to be the best, you have to beat the best.

It would be nice

But it’s hard to see an NFC Championship game that isn’t New Orleans vs Green Bay right now.

Also

my mute button gets more of a workout whenever Joe Buck is commentating one of our games.

Tell you what...

Bryan Billick has been the most annoying announcer this year…. that ATL game was borderline unbearable. Plus he’s always yelling.

Billick IS terrible

Just like his head coaching

Go Blue!

FOX needs to overhaul all of the announcers

I wish we had more games on CBS.
