Detroit Lions Open 2011 Season With 27-20 Win Over Bucs

PrintThe Detroit Lions dominated most of Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but due to some sloppy play, they only managed to win by a score of 27-20. I know what you're thinking: "The Lions only managed to win by a touchdown? Shouldn't we be celebrating any Lions win?" Yes, but the good news is the Lions didn't play their best game and still won by a touchdown on the road. That alone shows the progress this franchise has made.
The sloppy play for the Lions mainly revolved around untimely penalties, but in the first quarter it included poor kickoff coverage and a bad pass by Matthew Stafford. The first possession of the game for the Lions was outstanding, especially for Stafford, but the Lions had to settle for a 23-yard field goal after the drive stalled. On the ensuing kickoff, Sammie Stroughter blew past the coverage team for 78 yards before he was finally taken down. The Bucs offense quickly went three and out, but they got a field goal anyway thanks to the kick return.
Three plays later, Stafford threw a pass too high for his intended receiver and Aqib Talib picked it off and returned it 28 yards for a touchdown. Just like that, the Lions went from being up 3-0 to trailing 10-3.
The good news is Stafford shook off the interception and put together another solid drive. There were mistakes made along the way, including a fumbled snap and a bad pass thrown in the direction of a wide open Calvin Johnson in the end zone, but the Lions did get another short field goal from Hanson.
After trading three and outs to wind down the first quarter and begin the second quarter, the Lions defense made a big play. Tampa Bay finally started to move the ball, but Chris Houston intercepted a deep pass in the end zone. The Lions took over, and they went 69 yards in six plays and scored on a 36-yard pass from Stafford to Johnson. The pass came on fourth and two at the Tampa Bay 36, and the risk to go for it paid off in a big way with Stafford hitting Johnson in stride for the score.
After another three and out by Tampa Bay, the Lions again put together an excellent drive. Like the last one, Detroit got a touchdown out of it. Stafford found Tony Scheffler from 11 yards out for the score, and during the drive he completed all five of his pass attempts.
The Bucs finally started to have some sustained success moving the ball on the next drive. With only a minute left in the half, the Lions went into a bit of a prevent look, and this allowed Tampa Bay to move down the field with a bunch of underneath passes. Detroit did keep Tampa Bay out of the end zone, but the Bucs added a field goal to cut the deficit to a touchdown at halftime.
The second half opened with more of what we saw in the second quarter. The Bucs went three and out after getting stuffed just a yard away from moving the chains on both second and third down, and the Lions took the ball and went right down the field. Stafford continued to play out of his mind, and he found Johnson in the end zone on a fade for a one-yard touchdown. Stafford cramped up as he made the throw, but it was placed perfectly for Johnson to snag it for the score.
After yet another three and out by the Bucs, Detroit got the ball back and got much more conservative. This resulted in a quick punt, and the Lions had to punt it again after forcing another Bucs three and out.
The defense also started playing a bit more conservative. The Lions still brought pressure every now and then, but the coverage wasn't as tight, and like at the end of the first half, the Bucs had success dinking and dunking their way down the field. The success stopped once they got inside the red zone, however. The Bucs faced fourth and one, and the Lions not only made a stop, but they forced and recovered a fumble.
Staying in conservative mode, the Lions offense went three and out. Tampa Bay took over near midfield, and after 11 plays and nearly four minutes, they found the end zone on fourth down with a five-yard pass from Josh Freeman to Mike Williams.
Johnson recovered the ensuing onside kick for the Lions, and it looked like that was the game. The Lions didn't pick up a first down, though, and to make matters worse, Gosder Cherilus stopped the clock with an unnecessary roughness penalty. This gave the Bucs 1:07 to work with, and they managed to get down to the Detroit 42 after a penalty on the Lions for too many men on the field. After the penalty, the Bucs had time for only one more play, and they went into desperation mode by trying to make something happen with several laterals. My heart stopped for a second or two when Earnest Graham appeared to have some open field after the third or fourth lateral, but luckily the ball was eventually fumbled and recovered by Detroit to seal the 27-20 victory for the Lions.
Jim Schwartz didn't sound too happy after the game with the performance he witnessed, but the key thing is the Lions won. They certainly didn't play their best game, but this team now has enough talent to pull out a road win against a good team without their best performance. That's my biggest take away from the first game of the season.
Next week the Lions will play their first home game of the season. The Kansas City Chiefs will come to town looking to rebound from a stunning 41-7 loss to the Buffalo Bills, and the Lions will look to improve their record to 2-0.

Alright whos sensing some 16-0!!
Go check out the Datsyukian Deke , Detroit Red Wings Blog

I am.
Undefeated by the bye week = 8 wins, 4 preseason, 4 from last year. 16-0 :)
That’s a 16-0 I can realistically see happening; the other one, not so much.
Agree
The good thing about the sloppy play is that it came with a win. Things will tighten up!
I’m glad we don’t have to worry about it after a loss. TB’s a good team. To hit em’ twice in their back yard was great. Good mojo for the season. Confidence and mind set are everything to this team. Not too sure about play calling at goal line. Once again missing Mikel showed. Instead of Best trying to bull through D line, give it to Suh! That would be fun to watch! Good on ya Boys!!!!
Expectations don't produce!
My fantasy football team's name stays in tact through week 1...team name: 0-16 to 16-0
Something tells me Kansas City is in for a rude awakening next week. The worst part of that game will be having to work through the next week :-(.

I thought the Chiefs had a rude awakening *this* week.
I wouldn’t count on it happening two weeks in a row. The Lions better double down on game prep.
No slogans. Just win!!!

I am Thrilled! No joke. Very exciting.
The ultra conservative offense for most of the 2nd half has me worried. We need that killer instinct. We had them down, we just could not deal the killing blow. Linny needs to do better than that. I realize he was calling plays for gimpy players but they are pros, they need to perform.
I also think we need Fairley back as soon as possible. Our D line was getting winded late in the game. One more set of legs would help that a ton.

I'm actually happy about it.
We played really vanilla O and prevent D for basically an entire half of football and still came out with the W. It bodes well for us. Naturally, it’s going to have to change going forward, but I have no doubt it will.
I am happy with the W no matter what
I just would have been fine without the late game theatrics and we could have prevented it.

I think this establishes our credibility
More than another week 5 against the Rams would. Huge blowouts from “sleeper” teams are taken as fluke things. Having the opponent fight til the end and still be incapable of pulling anything out of it gives a huge boost to the credibility department of the no-longer-same-old-Lions.
+1
I noticed they were looking a little sluggish there towards the end, I figured that the heat index was playing into that a little too because guys like Suh and KVB hardly ever look winded, but I noticed quite a few hands on hips and looking dogged out at a few points. Hopefully Fairley will be back soon, then we can rotate him and Suh out every once in a while and give them a breather to keep their legs fresh for all 4 quarters. Gotta say the prevent defense scared me a little bit because with our line being a little more tired than usual they were moving the ball on us pretty easy on that last drive, I know the prevent is supposed to prevent them from getting behind us and getting into the end-zone, but the prevent has also been known to prevent you from winning the game from time to time too. Just something that I hope they are cognizant of in the future. All in all great game and great way to start the season though, and I think that we have a lot to look forward to in the weeks to come :)
It is important to remember
The prevent is not just about keeping the other team in front of you preventing a TD. It is also used to prevent the clock from stopping.
Still scares the hell out of me.

I'm glad they ran a prevent in the second half.
big plays mean big chances for injuries IMHO.
That Game
Should not have been so close, geez. Shoulda won going away, we need to keep our cool and not put ourselves in that position in a game we absolutely FUCKING DOMINATED!
However, we won, I’ll take it, 3 in row on the road now, 5 in row all together, got a reeling KC coming in. Just stay focused boys and aim for the prize.
What a weekend, Lions and Tigers and Wolverines, oh my!
Please
Stafford played great, it was the first game of the season with a short training camp, the kid is a gamer. 24-33 for 305 yards and 3 touches far outweighs a couple mistakes. GREAT ROAD VICTORY! Man TB has a good offensive line, they did a great job against our guys all things considered. Freeman is still alive anyway.
Terrific performance
It’s telling when we can make the mistakes we did and still deliver a thorough beatdown.
Jahvid Best looked great, which is huge for the offense going forward.

Here’s the link brother, download it when you can.
The game was blacked out in Tampa
So it should be on NFL.com after midnight tonight…although that might just be for people in the blackout area or something
I cant agree more!
“They certainly didn’t play their best game, but this team now has enough talent to pull out a road win against a good team without their best performance. That’s my biggest take away from the first game of the season” Finally! But staying focused is the key and Shwartz has got that covered. They looked well prepared and angry. Need to see more. Just keep dominateing and mistakes wont matter. On play at a time. By the way to all those fools who were booing when they announced Stafford as the Lions first pick at the Ford field draft party………….. SHOOSH!

First time poster...and long time lions fan.
Living in Iowa, I have been run over for years by Packers fans, Bears fans, and Vikings fans. I have never been so ecstatic about this team as I have the last three years. I loved the Green Bay game last year at Lambeau. Why? cause we punched them in the mouth. Aaron Rodgers changed his smirk to a frown when we kept hitting him. He lost his smirk( you could tell he knew his day was going to be long) we lost by 2 pts… then he came to Detroit and got handled..point blank..then got hurt. This year, I wanted this win over TB. It was validation for this team. Who is the ‘up and comer’? Detroit is. My cousin was a Dr. in Flint early on, and got me addicted to Detroit sports. Congrats to a good start Lions! GO LIONS!!!
NOT WORRIED AT ALL. STUFF HAPPENS AND ITS THE NFL. GOT THE TALENT AND DEPTH TO NOT FREAK OUT.

Still got some work to do but it looks like we got out of this game with no injuries. and some positive vibes.

The flagrantly-late hits need to stop on this team.
Officials are keen to spot those and that’s the kind of shit that clocked the Lions in at a whopping 6 wins last season.

my favorite thing about that press conference was Stafford
He seems to be a Jim Schwartz clone. First thing out of his mouth is how they plan to get better. I fuckin love it, that is exactly the guy you want leading the team.
This was a good win on the road against a strong team
Wins like this is what playoff teams do. Get the lead early and hold on for the win.

On the ropes
I was pretty impressed on how Detroit handled the adversity of game 1. There was no doubt that the weather and the lockout played a big deal in the second half. Around the 7min mark in the 3rd quarter both teams seemed to be sucking wind hard core. What was even more impressive was when Tampa went for it on 4 and 1 and we stuffed it without Suh in the ball game. Lack of conditioning played a huge role in the 2nd half and that humidity didn’t help us out any. Detroit had this game at half time and they knew it. Look for better play by the defense in the second half against K.C.
Suh, Biz Markie, Kvb , Avril , C Will, SLH, Lo-Jack , Young blood and Andre 3000 = F U Your going to die!!!! Get em boys
The heat
and the humidity really started to take it’s toll on the players. Was that last quarter a homage to Lion teams past? # series of little guys up the middle for no gain and a prevent defense that, as advertised, almost prevented us from winning. Next game at home vs. KC where I predict we’ll play much, much, better.
Gameball Any?
J.Backus would be my pick.

Amari Spievey
Kid had 7 solo tackles and was around the ball everytime it got past the LB’s. Offense is always nice but the defense absolutely crushed TB for 3 quarters.
I remember when Doug Karsch and his goofball sidekick were just sitting there making fun of his name
Had zero idea who he was and didn’t care to find out.
Spievey is turning out to be a great pick. Makes me happy both for him and the Front Office. Great pick.

I agree with the good for him point of view
I disagree with the great pick. He was not selected to be a Safety. He was drafted as a Corner. We are lucky we have good position coaches and he was obviously more than willing to convert.

Well he was certainly a corner in college
and as I recall they moved him to safety after camp opened last year. Might have been in OTA’s but I do think it was after camp opened.

Well I know he was a corner in college
But it’s not like we’re talking about converting a TE into a DE or anything. CB/S changes are pretty common; obviously not as common as DE/OLB tweeners are nowadays, but if you’re trying to justify Spievey as necessarily being a bad pick because he got converted, I’d have to hear at least some hint of confirmation that he was, in fact, drafted to be a CB (as opposed to a general “we think this guy can make plays so we’re going to pick him” as a DB)
oh well, I think he was fine pick and I m glad to have him
I was merely saying that I believe we converted him from corner to safety after we drafted him. A total non issue in my book

All I know is that he's been a DB for us.
Considering they chose to move him after three weeks into pre-season considering some guys have been given years to work out the kinks at CB seems more telling that he was drafted to be a DB than it does the other way.

you are probably right
It was telling and very clear he was not going to make it as an NFL CB so they moved him.

I disagree with the great pick. He was not selected to be a Safety. He was drafted as a Corner. We are lucky we have good position coaches and he was obviously more than willing to convert.
High value. Great pick. Neither of us know what the FO’s plans were for him.
That goddamn Okra and beans got you Oprah in jeans. Seems to me a little lean cuisine, wouldn't hurt much- Agh don't touch! -Obie Trice
He played CB for the first few weeks of his first year
into the preseason. He was moved to Safety when he showed he could not hold up out there. We know exactly what they were thinking when they drafted him and we know how he ended up at his present position.
It was a bad pick that, fortunately for the FO, turned out to be a rather nice boon to another position.
Like I said, kudos to the position coaches and to him for being willing to transition to his new position.

My 2 game balls go to
Offense is Stafford, he was putting the ball roght where it was suppose to be. If not for Grew and his continuing drops that kill drives 3 years and counting now guys; he is going to cost this team at least 1 win ths year. On defense I give my ball to Tulloch, everyone was so scared about getting gashed by Blount, and our LB’s especially Tulloch made sure that wasn’t happening. He even got after Josh when he broke contain. 160+ tackles last year was no fluke from this PB MLB.

Yes!

I watched that Packers Saints game.
I didn’t see the Packers getting all that much pressure on Brees except when they were blitzing 6 and 7 guys. The packers basic rush wasn’t generating any kind of pressure.
How many lumps you want Doc?
In that game the pack either brought three or six
There wasn’t much in the middle, it was either drop everyone into blanket zone coverage or come hard on a full out blitz. That’s the kind of thing which is really going to confuse a rookie qb. I believe the chances of cam throwing for over 300 yds next week are probably under 5%. Dom Capers will have his head spinning like a top.
They are going to feast on his football soul
and sacrifice it to the football gods as tribute for last season.

Another Yooper Lions fan here, but name was already taken so. Having to deal with all the Packer fans up here sucks so I am hoping we can shut them up this year. Been following Pride of Detroit since free agency hit since Sean made PoD the best source for Lions signings and activity.
Few thoughts I had on the game.
Stafford is a stud but needs to work on his touch
Running game looked pretty good
Linebackers proved to be the best part of our defense today IMO (Really happy here)
Pettigrew aka Dropigrew needs to catch the important ones
Anyways cheers to being undefeated hoping for a great season!

Stafford proved all offseason that his touch was great. But yeah, he was a tad shaky at first…Pettigrew has really improved his drops, but that was a bad one on that TD throw…
Agree on the LBs – very impressed!

I’ve been on Grew’s ass for 2+ years now about him dropping balls that were drive stallers and keeping points off the board. Yesterday he cost us 8 points with his Droptimus Prime hands.

so 12-3=8 but i could be wrong

No one's testing him anymore.
They’re paying him all due respect with constant double and triple teams, which is allowing KVB to have star games like he did this one. All the protection on the right side of the line leaves up the blind side to collapse.
Now if only TB would have caught the memo with Calvin. Really Morris, single coverage? SMH.

I never thought about how smart it was to have Suh play the right side
He collapses the pocket and gets in the QB’s face while freeing up the guys the QB can’t see as well to get there faster. I wonder if Gun/Schwartz would move him to the left if we played a lefty QB
I think it's just a matter of happenstance.
Only so many blockers to go around, when you key in on a single lineman you leave deficiencies elsewhere. Hence why when you see CWill grabbing doubles Avril has a strong showing. CWill still very much commands doubles but since they shifted away from the run early that limited CWill’s effectiveness so there was less need to key on him, but watch Avril have better games against teams that commit harder to the run.

It will take a couple outstanding performances from KVB/Avril/Williams, a dumb offensive line coach, or the Lion’s get a “Nick Fairley” for that to change. The good news is 2/3 are VERY likely to happen, the other is just Most likely.

Hey Omaha Sun
What’s up with your peeps giving us Lions Fans a hard time on the Jim Rome show this week?
He played 3 years for you guys and will play way longer than that in the D. Some of you guys were saying that once his contract comes up he will bolt for someone like the Ravens, as if they’ll always be good. We’ll be the ones everyone wants to play for by then and Suh will get locked up by the Lions by then anyway.
You guys don’t own Suh, you borrowed him, we own him now, sorry to be a dick about it but you Nebraska fans need to check yourselves. OBTW, when you head to Ann Arbor in game 11 for you guys and getting beat up by B1G Teams, plan on losing that one, didn’t look so hot against Fresno St. at home, did ya?

no need for this
I rather doubt Omaha Sun, if he cares enough to come around here, was one of the tools calling in to Rome. And I also rather doubt Rome’s on-air call-ins were representative — think about it. Does it make good radio to take a bunch of calls from folks just saying they like Suh and hope he does well in Detroit? Or does he generate more buzz and get people riled up by airing a few wackos who want to say something controversial.
Almost every Cornhusker fan I know is rooting for the Lions to do well, and will do so as long as Suh as there. How long that is, who knows or cares. Just enjoying the show, and long may it last.

It would have been on like Ndamukong. But really, I appreciate the fact that Kocurek and Gunny gave Freeman his respect, trying to go all in on him constantly would have been a Huge headache on the ground all day.
It seemed like they were playing more contain than pressure and forcing him to throw the ball with the appearance of dline in his face. Square him up on all four sides and make him make decisions. It’s worked in the past and it seemed to work pretty well this game. Except when our coverage got really soft in the shell and then prevent defenses, then Freeman had a field day with easy decisions.

till the last drive he didn't have 2 incomplete passes in a row (faint)
Was pretty shocked…even tho i did think he would be good. He did well
He had one in the endzone that his WR did not come down in bounds. His last throw was complete but his WR come up a half of a yard short of a first down near the goal line.

I've got to admit
I was shocked. I didn’t think this dude would ever throw for 422 yards in a game in his whole career, let alone in his debut. I figured he would be a good, but not great QB who would win you games but never really be mentioned among the best QB’s in the league. Looks like I may be very wrong though.
lets wait until he plays a better team

But still to do what he did and how he did it was pretty much shocking… had total control…totally opposite of what the doubters said
Zona's D blows
He was hitting targets open by 5 yards left and right. I would look like a real QB out there playing against those scrubs.

Shitty defense or no
you don’t throw for 422 yards unless you’ve got talent. Also, outside of Steve Smith, who does he have to throw to? If you answered “nobody”, you would be correct.
People always say "he is hitting wide open recievers" if he does well...lol
Why doesn’t everyone copy they offence he runs lol.
It was not the offense I was watching getting open
It was a porus pass defense getting taken apart chunk after chunk.

Find the open receiver and get it to him? With as bad as Cam is “supposed” to be (according to the haters), he should have been throwing at good coverage and failing to notice the open guys most of the time.

yea that tied the NFL record with Stafford for most yards by a rookie
And broke the record for opening game… I mean alot of people could say that when Stafford threw for 422 yards “it was against the Browns”… he did well regardless of who he played
But Heath Evans is still totally retarded if he thinks Newton is Better than Stafford…Evans is on Crack to even say that.. made me lose respect for him as a anaylist
Arizona's defense sucks
But it’s good to see him play well against a bad D, it’s what you’re supposed to do as an NFL QB.
What I’m pissed about is the fact that I started Matt Ryan and Kevin Kolb is on my bench, Kolb wrecked Ryan’s points this week. :(

The cards defence has some good players tho...not earth shaking but still they aren't garbage
He threw some very impressive passes consistantly… and with alot of pressure. Very good decision making… just didn’t see that coming
I aint knocking his performance.
He played a suspect defense and did what any good NFL QB would do — tear them up.

True.
But how many rookies look like a “good NFL QB” in their very first NFL game? I’m not ready to anoint him as elite, but you have to be impressed with the way he played.
Paris Lenon was the Cardinal's leading tackler.
Yeah, THAT Paris Lenon. That tells you everything you need to know about their D.

About the whole "taking the foot off the gas pedal" thingy
I’m not sure, but Scott Linehan does run a hybrid type of the WCO, and one of the aspects of the WCO is playing conservative ball when you have a sizeable lead…

hmm
didn’t know that. Interesting. You will admit there was less WCO with Stafford at the helm. More vertical routes and play actions…

Yeah but how often does that get connected for 20 yards?
Most of the time it’s to push the LBs back for the intermediate route. When it’s a vertical shot, it’s usually CJ’s target is all I’m saying.

but we saw the vertical with Burl in the preseason and that bomb to Titus today – clearly there is more intention for the X to be a vertical threat moving forward…

Their o-line is really struggling
Defense looks good though
well, how good can you really look on D against the Jets???

Considering how good the Jets o-line is?
Very good. How many sacks and pressures did we get on Sanchez last year? Dallas’s defense is looking revitalized. Dallas’s OL should be a huge mismatch but I don’t expect us to be able to completely shut Romo & friends down.
I’m concerned about that game.

Thoughts about our first win
- I was impressed by Stafford. We knew he had potential, and we knew that he looked brilliant in the pre-season, but I was still nervous about this game. That early pick was unlucky, but after that he really looked great. Nothing overly aggressive, just smart throws in a accurate fashion. Very impressed by his performance.
- I was also mighty impressed by our O-line. They pass protected well, keeping Stafford pretty much clean, but surprisingly, they opened holes for our run game. However, Peterman and Cherilus were horribly stupid for their penalties, need to cut that crap out.
- Because of the improved run blocking, the run game was better than I expected. Best showed good vision and made some great cuts, although I didn’t see the explosion. Harrison also had a few decent runs. Morris obviously still has some trouble with his hand.
- Calvin was a monster once again, two Tds and not far off 100 yds. Gotta be happy with that. Burleson made a few key plays as well. Grew had a horrible endzone drop but showed up in other areas.
- I gotta say, I expected more pass rush from our defensive line. They still caused some havoc, but credit to the Bucs for slowing us down. Run defence was largely improved though.
- Major props to our LBs. After being quiet in the pre-season they fired up a lot more in this game. Tully was especially good. They were a noticeable force on the field.
- Also fairly impressed with the secondary. They did allow some catches in the second half, but I’m more inclined to place that on the play calls then there skill level. Houston was good, and so was our safeties. Beryy was found out a couple of times but he’s still young.
- Donahue made some good punts.
On the whole, it’s a relief to put up that first win. After all this hype we needed to begin to justify ourselves as a team. This was the first step towards that. Sure, it shouldn’t have really been that close, but as Sean says, it indicates that we as a team can still win on the road, and not have to play perfectly.

This team didn't blow out the Bucs,
but it’s easy to see and say how they should have. I honestly think it’s better this way, we don’t want our guys thinking they don’t have anything that they can get better at, it’ll keep ‘em sharp. And, I think the coaching staff did well calling plays in an away game in the beginning of the season, in the heat. There are a lot of factors that play into those decisions, like the rest of the season, keeping players/defense fresh, and eating the clock. I think they made the right call, it wasn’t pretty in the end, but it was effective. Good win Lions.

After his Junior(?) season I wanted the Lions to draft
Adrian Clayborn. He was looking like a beast and I was hoping to pair him with Suh and make the start of a young dominant line. Well I think things worked out even better getting Fairely, but what was everyones opinion on the Bucs young d-line today.
They still have a ways to go.
People underrate our DL because Suh’s the only one that gets all the press, but Suh is the only young starter on that line. We have three veteran DL that are performing very well next to him. In counterpoint, TB is going pretty young and GMC suffered from not getting a whole season under his belt while Suh was padding his stat sheet.
I wouldn’t call them a lock for a top five DL this season but top half of the league for sure, probably top ten but I don’t know their schedule or what OLs they’re facing. I know they’ve got tough OLs in the division in NO and ATL.
Dude, after what I saw today, you guys are in good hands defensively. I dont know what all the talk
was about your secondary, But they looked pretty good
East Coast Fan
It's more of an unknown quantity thing.
Our LBs and CBs going into this season are completely overhauled basically, so we, as gunshy Lions fans, don’t get too optimistic about unknown quantities.
Calvin Johnson, Nate Burleson, our DL, our TEs, and Stefan Logan? Those are known quantities, and we’ll gladly stick up for them and tell them they’ll whoop your ass all day every day. Everyone else? Not so much.
thats true, but from what I was reading, it sounded like they were worse than say the Bengals
East Coast Fan
Well, 24th against the run last year and 16th against the pass.
Nothing to really write home about. We may drink our kool-aid and stuff our faces with corn bread, but we like to be pretty tempered because of how much we’ve been browbeat by the past. However, I will say that our performance against you guys was very encouraging with regards to some of the more questionable parts of our D (LBs and depth CBs basically).
cautious optimism is a good thing
keep in mind that my team at one time was called the tampa bay Yucks. we were too. Our team was so bad they use to bring in indians to dance around the stadium in the hopes that it would enable them to at least win

East Coast Fan
It's kind of silly to have it in the redzone IMO
Because it’s supposed to fire up the fans, and it does, but aren’t fans supposed to be silent on offense? Blow them cannons on a sack or something.
I think our line is GREAT
I think it says volumes when we let a rotational guy go to be a starter on the Superbowl champs of two years ago, and he looks to be their best pass rusher.

not very good overall. Clayborn tries hard, I will give him that. The bottom line is your offense kept us off balance all day long. Wore us out where it didnt matte anymore. Did play better in the second half but with the offense gagging all day they never really stood a chance. thats how I saw it anyways

I’m sure you would rather have him making plays in the backfield.

Very good win.
Ecstatic today for this win. Yeah there are some concerns going foward but even with some sloppy play we still came away with the win. I think we need to stay aggressive when we have the lead and when we start playing clean all game long we will be serious contenders.

Do we start Hilliard next week?
Cherilus made a really, really bad error in judgement. We face a team next week whose pass rush is basically a single player, and Hilliard isn’t that large of a drop-off from Gos — does the FO make a statement here by benching him for week 2?
I ****ing hope so
I know it’s important to win games so you always want your best guys on the field, but he is a liability with the **** he pulls. Make a statement and sit him.
Hilliard drew WAY more penalties last year
so he’s not an upgrade in that department. It was ONE boneheaded mistake. If he does it again, then there is warrant for a pattern and discipline…
The Dis-Assembly Line - The unofficial, official name for the next best D-line in football.
no
Schwartz was clearly pissed and layed into Gos but I don’t think it’s a good example to bench a solid starter over one play. That screams “overreaction” and you need your HC to be rational and dish punishment out in a fair way. He might lose some players respect if he overreacts over one play…if he keeps it up, then heck yes!
The Dis-Assembly Line - The unofficial, official name for the next best D-line in football.
For just "one play", that was a really BIG one play.
That was the kind of play that if TB had gone back and won, would have been the turning point in the game. I wouldn’t say it’s irrational to expect a professional football player, who knows that he’s got strong depth pushing behind him for the starter job, to not make such a boneheaded error.
Agreed
To me this was a must win. After all the hype and press the Lions have got (some may see this different- but in my opinion this team has gotten a decent share of pre-season press) they had to win this first game, on the road. Had to. That was a BIG play indeed. Gosder deserved whatever he got. Nothing personal, but that was a ridiculous mental error.
That goddamn Okra and beans got you Oprah in jeans. Seems to me a little lean cuisine, wouldn't hurt much- Agh don't touch! -Obie Trice
That's a "punting to DeSean Jackson at the end of regulation" kind of mistake.
Matt Dodge got canned for that. I’m not saying we should can Gos, but I really don’t think benching him would be an overreaction. I also doubt benching him is the type of maneuver that would cause Schwartz to lose respect — if anything, it might earn him more; not only from the fanbase, but from the locker room. He needs to set the tone on this team from bottom up, everyone is culpable for their mistakes and they will not be tolerated anymore.
I think guys like KVB, Corey, Tulloch
they’d respect a benching. They don’t really let shit like that happen.
Game 1 is the perfect time to set the tone, honestly.
I’m ecstatic that they won, but those penalties are some shit that needs to die like seasons past. That’s the old Lions. Playing smart is part of the new identity of this team.
That goddamn Okra and beans got you Oprah in jeans. Seems to me a little lean cuisine, wouldn't hurt much- Agh don't touch! -Obie Trice
Did they pull Maurice Morris after that fumble?
I don’t remember seeing him in the game after that.
Don't quote me on this
But I think his hand was bothering him.
You would
be about right, I remember seeing him holding his hand after that play, I never understand how these guys pull through after having broken limbs, tough people I tell ya.

you saw that
PostGame press Conference. Man he was SEETHING, when he said the word “stupid” it sounded like he wanted to say “dumb as f&$#”. He was just lit up, and I don’t blame him. I am sure someone said it earlier but it is nice to have a coach that is so adamant about things like that, even if we won! Sheesh, if we lost, I would hate to be on the receiving end of the Schwartz baton.
We have a lot of work to do, mainly in the dumb penalty committing area. Some of those were unnecessary and damaging, it slows momentum (for us) and gives the opponent more time to rethink their attack, I want this fun n’ gun stuff to go seamlessly. While it’s a great win, and know Schwartz, he is going to ream our guys out and tell them what they did wrong before saying what they did right.
by Usman 'Uzi' Altafullah on Sep 12, 2011 9:49 AM EDT up reply actions
2 bad plays for sure
can’t be tolerated – and Schwartz said they can’t happen again. He’s taking a firm stance.
But let’s put this in perspective: There were only two other penalties on the offense (if I recall correctly) – being a false start and an illegal shift by T.D – so they played pretty clean for 97% of the game, especially considering how long they were out there. Being in that heat for over 30 minutes of play, that was an improvement in discipline for us from last year. Especially being the 1st game back…
The Dis-Assembly Line - The unofficial, official name for the next best D-line in football.
mistakes can be corrected
that’s the lesson of this game in my opinion. as far as playing the game, the Lions were absolutely the better team. it was close because of small, very correctable things. Basically, don’t take stupid penalties. I’m not going to count the pick six since Talib did make a nice play on that and things like that can happen. It wasn’t as though Matt forced the ball into double coverage or something.
Right
A couple lucky bounces and a broken tackle accounted for 10 pts. There were only 2 dumb penalties, and while they shouldn’t be excused in any way or fashion, they didn’t cost us points (though Gos caused most of us a heart attack!). We were a little shaky on offense here and there but overall played extremely well. Clearly out-muscled and out-finessed them. Our D was more physical than their O, and that’s saying a lot considering who plays for TB! The prevent type of defense and soft coverage allowed a TON of underneath passing – so the stats were inflated. Good win on the road in crappy weather. The way we fought through the momentum being in the Bucs favor to take a hold of the game in the 2nd qtr was a thing of beauty. That’s what you have to do in raod games to walk away with a W – even if the ball isn’t bouncing your way, you MAKE it bounce your way!

I love aggression from linemen
But Petermouth trying to spear a guy off the pile with his 300 pounds of back fat well after the play was over pissed me off. He nearly killed the drive with that stupid penalty.
Yeah. Bring that aggression at the appropriate time.
Late hits are the epitome of stupid play.

getting even
Loved the Lions win and I thought that Stafford was really P.O.d after Talib got that gift interception TD and ensueing dance. I thought he and CJ purposely set out to make him look bad on both those TD’s throws which I thought they did
Great Win!!!
Im glad I jumped on the lions bandwagon a few years ago (somewhat of a bandwagon lol) I had my CJ jersey then a Staff jersey now I just need a Suh jersey. GO LIONS!!
can't really go wrong with those 3.
Might I suggest a Nick Fairley jersey
