Well, Delmas got back in...so I guess that's good.

BRAVEHEART · 09-19-2010, 02:53 PM

We played tough, can't be mad at that. Team has promise, just need one more draft, and for the impact players to stay healthy.

why in the hell was Shawn Hill going deep on that last drive? There was a minute to go, we had it around the 40 yard line, and we had a timeout. And you go deep on every play? That was so stupid.. unbelievable

P-L · 09-19-2010, 04:45 PM

Hill didn't go deep the entire game, until the last drive. Go figure.

P-L · 09-19-2010, 04:46 PM

It really sucks to think that if Stafford hadn't gotten hurt, we very well could be 2-0 right now.

Pettigrew had a nice day, 7 catches for 108 yards.

we

are

cursed!

I told everyone i was giving up on the Lions and I wouldn't waste my time anymore, but i did watch the game just for ***** and giggles and my friends were celebrating when we were up 17-3 and i just said "wait till the 4th quarter". And sure enough they blow the lead and give up 4 unanswered touchdowns. Nice comeback at the end, but everyone and their mothers knew, Detroit was not going to score on that last drive. Im still seeing a 4-12 season.

I wish Andy Reid had that kind of passion and fire.

BTW great game today, the Lions are on the rise though. The last time we played you guys it was a laugher, today it was a nail biter. Jahvid Best is a monster too, he owned this defense more than I've ever seen it owned, previously the only guy to beat us that bad was Felix Jones.

Addict · 09-20-2010, 03:47 AM

suh also got another sack which is nice. I just hope they actually get to win a few games. I love Patrick Peterson but I really don't want to have him frist over all again.

boknows34 · 09-20-2010, 12:15 PM

Suh

6 tackles
2 assists
2.5 TFL
1 sack

frubulubu · 09-20-2010, 06:07 PM

Great game guys I really enjoyed it tons. Did anyone noticed on the last Lions drive that the stadium was screaming defense?

noondog · 09-20-2010, 08:12 PM

As far as I'm concerned, the most promising aspect of the past two weeks is that we've kept games close with our back-up QB. We may well have been 2-0 had Staff not been hurt, but I have so much optimism with the team on the whole moving forward. Some personal thoughts after week 2:

1. Oher would have been a better choice than Pettigrew, but it was hella good to see him have a break-out game. Having his confidence grow with games like that will do nothing but good things for us. Hopefully he keeps it up.

2. Jahvid was pure sex this week and if he stays healthy, he'll win OROY easily imo. The screen passing game by itself will now keep defenses honest. The only thing I will say is that he should not be in short yardage situations. If they want to line Suh up at FB, Felton should be behind him, not Best.

3. And speaking of Suh, he has not been getting the love he deserves as of yet. He's already dominating at the LOS. He's penetrating a ton and taking on double-teams regularly.

4. Our LB's are even worse than I thought they'd be. We need Levy back bad and it is def a place we need to upgrade in the offseason along with secondary and OT.

5. The offense HAS to start getting Megatron involved in the game earlier, and they have to take at least a couple of deep shots at him throughout the game, especially when we're on our own half of the field. Between Johnson grabbing balls at 20+ yds and Best running and grabbing screens, defenses will be stretched right out.

6. Schwartz is so the right man for this team right now. Love the guy.

If we do well next offseason (and Staff & Co. stay healthy), Lions will be the surprise team of the NFL next year...no doubt.

detroit4life · 09-20-2010, 08:44 PM

completely agree.

a few points...

1) are we currently looking at potential DROY and OROY this year? shows a lot of success in what we did this year

2) this team is a competitive teama nd even with our back up QB we have proved to be anything but a push over team

3) this upcoming offseason is crucial but also very easy. Upgrade LT, CB, LB and we have a team capable of surprising tons of people.

Our dline is doing great things, our secondary and LB corp is awful. If we can upgrade at CB (peterson please) and LB along with finally getting a replacement at LT and this team has a very solid team.

I will say though that if i had a vote, we would be trading for mcniel right now and getting him at LT when staf gets back. Keep him standing up and have a very good oline with backus moving to RT.
