[MCguidance]

This could get ugly.

 

[Zigg]

how many yards could Brees throw for if they went for the single game record? I honestly think he could break it mid way through the 3rd quarter.

 

[Native]

Brees putting a whipping on the Lions.

Meachem with the TD.

 

[timschochet]

I have Brees, I have Colston, and I am one happy camper!

Drew 5-5 96 yards 2 TDs in 2 drives.

 

[scott72]

Wow this is gonna be nasty for Detroit..

 

[Zow]

how does reggie look?

 

[Andy Hicks]

How many times did the Lions go behind 21-0 last year?

 

[timschochet]

Could this year's Saints offense be like the 2007 Pats?

 

[Mister CIA]

Calvin Johnson 21 yards.

 

[MSULions]

quick hit to Calvin for 20+ yards

 

[timschochet]

Big catch for Calvin.

 

[Mister CIA]

Lions get second first down.

 

[MSULions]

nice little drive. dump to kevin smith for 14 yards - gonna be a LOT of those this year.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Lions offense is a well oiled machine.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Dumb. 3rd and 1, run up the gut. That pitch call sucked.

 

[Mister CIA]

9 yard pitch to Aaron Brown, Smith loses yardage on 3rd down. FG - 14-3.

Lots of short passes by Stafford to build some confidence.

 

[mbuehner]

Why line your RB up 7 yards deep and call a pitch out on 3rd and less than a yard? That never works. Run up the middle, if you cant do it consistently you deserve to lose.

 

[MSULions]

frankly, Stafford looks like the best QB they've had in Detroit in my adult life. That's not saying much...but he's already got the offense looking better than anything they did last year. That was a good mix of calls and personel (with the exception of the pitch on 3rd and barely 1...that was stupid).

 

[Mister CIA]

14 yard pass to Devery Henderson on 3rd and 14. Devery runs backwards for 3 yards to make it 4th down.

 

[MSULions]

3 and out for the Saints and decent field position for the Lions.

 

[MSULions]

three and out for the lions...one dropped pass...one way over thrown.

 

[Mister CIA]

5 yard carry for Bell. Looked to be limping ever so slightly after the carry

 

[MSULions]

Holy crap. a nice play by a Lions DB? crazy thins happening.

NORTHCUTT!! 3 and out for the Saints again and Northcutt returns the punt inside the 20!

 

[MSULions]

1st and 10 at the 13 after the punt return. 1st play is short pass to KSmith for 5 yards.

 

[MSULions]

run is stuffed...3rd down. have to go EZ to Calvin here.

 

[allaces10]

Anyone know if Lance Moore is in the stadium?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Go for it!

 

[MSULions]

Smith juked and jived to get it 4th and inches at the 3. They are going for it.

is that 4 catches for Smith already?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

We got a game people!

 

[MSULions]

that was a great freaking call. TD Smith on a counter toss.

 

[mbuehner]

Heh. Like I said, always run the pitch out on short yardage.

 

[BobbyLayne]

We got a game people!

Awesome, now lets see the D make another stop.

 

[Native]

Way to go Detroit.

 

[Liltee8869]

No Lance Moore?

 

[Native]

Anyone know - is Lance Moore playing? Hes been banged up in the preseason...

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Baseball update for Det fans: 2-0 Tigers in the 3rd, runners at the corners with no outs.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Brees on the flee-flicker, INT. Lions ball.

 

[MSULions]

Trickeration on flea flicker = Lions interception

they have now equaled their Interception total from last year (which remains the single most amazing stat about a year of futility to me).
