Just win, baby.

 

[3C's]

Just name a starting QB, baby! 5 minutes to decide.

 

[jerry jones]

it's McCown

 

[Whiplash Inc.]

Let the resurgence begin....

GO RAIDERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[strong]

it's McCown

Are they rotating QBs?

 

[Whiplash Inc.]

It said Culpepper on NFL Gamecenter for a couple minutes.

 

[SofaKings]

One of these days....Oakland will get a real stadium.

 

[jerry jones]

2 jordan runs...1 qb fumble on the snap...hopefully culpepper soon...

 

[Peyton Marino]

kitna looking ok.

 

[3C's]

it's McCown

It wouldn't shock me.

 

[fflnut]

Stat line looks pretty darn nice actually. 3 consecutive long passes.

 

[Whiplash Inc.]

1-10 OAK41 (9:46) J.Kitna pass deep right to M.Furrey to OAK 25 for 16 yards. PENALTY on DET, Offensive Pass Interference, 10 yards, enforced at OAK 41 - No Play.

1-10 DET33 (10:27) (Shotgun) J.Kitna pass deep right to C.Johnson to OAK 41 for 26 yards (S.Schweigert).

1-10 DET1 (10:53) J.Kitna pass short left to S.McHugh to DET 33 for 32 yards (K.Morrison).

Look at that #1 pass D go.....

 

[falconeyed]

The Lions aren't even going to pretend to run the ball this season, are they?

I hate that #######ed stadium.

 

[falconeyed]

CJohnson with the redzone target.

 

[falconeyed]

Pick in the zone. Morrison. Atta kid.

 

[Peyton Marino]

aww ####.

 

[seanjweb]

Same 'ol Lions...

And to think we got that guy in the 3rd round. He might make the Pro Bowl this year.

Fargas gets the handoff, the wind slightly changes direction and makes the tackle.

I think Fargas might have the worst vision of any NFL RB I've ever seen. I've never seen anyone so unwilling/unable to change direction. I don't care what the play call is, Fargas's strategy is: run forward, lower head.

I was talking about Morrison...

 

[Mt. Man]

50 yard FG blocked -- we'll see if the Lions do anything with decent field position.

 

[SofaKings]

CJ getting plenty of targets. Three at least so far.

I know you were. I was talking about Justin Fargas' pathetic inability to break a tackle of any kind.

 

[falconeyed]

OAK generating pressure on 3rd down with just the front 4. Great to see.

 

[SofaKings]

Oak making the Lions secondary look pretty good.

 

[Ertic]

Is Porter lining up at WR at all?

 

[Mt. Man]

Impressive run by Bell followed by Kitna scrambling out and finding Roy wide open.

TD Lions -- and first TD in a 4:15 game :(

 

[SofaKings]

Nice rollout by Kitna to find an open Roy Williams.

Hopefully it seats less than 20,000 so they don't get blacked out all season.

 

[Peyton Marino]

kitna to roy all day baby.

 

[1huskerfan]

Are they playing 7 on 7?

[Mt. Man]

Curry shaken up after the last catch.

I think he'll be ok, but I'll keep you updated.

And yes, Porter's out there. Just not being thrown to, for whatever reason.

 

[Whiplash Inc.]

I think it's time we start looking for another Kicker. Without giving up a draft pick.

You're just not drafting them high enough.

 

[Mt. Man]

Announcers: "The only Lions WR that hasn't caught a ball is Germaine Crowell"

 

[Mt. Man]

Hanson shows Janikowski how it's done - 10-0 Lions, 1:10 left.

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

Announcers: "The only Lions WR that hasn't caught a ball is Germaine Crowell"

Jeff Chadwick is having a nice game.

 

[1huskerfan]

Good to hear Russell is using his redshirt year this year.

 

[matuski]

As a Lions fan I am hesitant to get excited about our defense - we look great but is it us being better or the raiders sucking?

 

[Mt. Man]

Just a note: Curry's back in, though that's probably obvious, since he caught a ball.

With 8 seconds left, Janikowksi tries a career-long 57 yarder... do I need to tell you the result?

10-0 Lions at the half.

Thoughts:

Kitna's looked generally sharp, and obviously distributed the ball well.

6 runs to 22 passes -- same ol' Martz, at least for the first half. Mostly 3 & 4 WR sets.

McCown's got a good completion percentage, but seems to be looking for the RBs & TEs.

Either the Lions secondary has him confused, or else it's rust. Maybe both. No idea if Culpepper will play.

Before you run Janikowski out of town, remember that his shortest attempt was 46 yards.

Still, you have to wonder if Oakland won't be on the phone with some FA kickers...

 

[2Young2BBald]

Detroit's D needs to concentrate more on just tackling vs. trying to strip the ball. They have given up 2 or 3 more yards the last few runs trying to strip the ball from Jordan.

 

[Whiplash Inc.]

A Porter sighting!

 

[seanjweb]

Thanks for the ball, Josh!

 

[Mt. Man]

After Jordan briefly looked unstoppable, McCown throws to Porter then throws an INT.

It looked like he slipped on the field, and the D made a good play tipping then catching the ball.

 

[SofaKings]

Calvin Johnson first TD of his career!
