Game Thread W2 - Kansas City V Detroit (1 Viewer)

How does Bowe look?Should I be looking for another WR to replace him? (Fortunately for me he is my #2 behind Megatron)

Bowe may actually benefit from the Charles injury. Chiefs will have no choice but to throw the football.

That will definitely benefit the opposing DBs.

 

[Red Dogg]

Are the interceptions Cassel's fault? Any chance the WR ran the wrong route? how is the OLine doing for KC, they were run blocking well on the opening drive, what about pass protection? Thanks.

No, both went right through Bowe's hands. Tight coverage on the first while falling down, second a little high and behind. catchable balls both.

Good info, ty. You can only tell so much from the RZ channel.

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't believe the 2nd pass was to Bowe...and it would have been an extremely difficult catch to make....way behind the receiver and with a lot of velocity.

2nd INT was intended for Urban. That one was less his fault than the Bowe INT.

Agree on both counts, my bad. second one was a clear overthrown opon further review.

 

[teamramrod]

Ouch...McCluster fumble, the Titanic has arrived in KC.

Peace

 

[SacramentoBob]

Another fumble, another recovery by Detroit.

True, but he's bound to catch something. They don't have any other weapons besides maybe McCluster.

 

[MSULions]

another fumble and recover inside the 20 for Detroit

 

[AmosMoses]

In my area, FOX decided the beating was too horrific and switched to the Raiders/Bills game. Chiefs are ####### awful.

 

[SacramentoBob]

1st and goal at the 5.

 

[netnalp]

They should get Shaun Hill in there.

 

[MSULions]

Pettigrew gets teh first down...good to see he's okay. Now throw him a TD!

 

[teamramrod]

could really use a TD to Pettigrew right now.

So he is playing. I can't believe he isn't getting some of this love.

there ya go, another catch, but then he just stood there.Peace

 

[SacramentoBob]

Pass intended for Megatron in the end zone. Well defended.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Best to the 1cm line.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Unnecessary roughness flag, 1st and goal at the 1/2 cm line.

 

[MSULions]

Best over the top for TD 2!

 

[SacramentoBob]

Best over the top. TD.

No need to keep Stafford in IMO.

 

[Native]

Lions are 2-0. This is awesome.

 

[MSULions]

41-3

 

[ponchsox]

Best top 10 back this year if he stays healthy.

I have him as my #2 behind Jennings and in fornt of Williams (TB). I am in the hunt for another...I think KC is going to be the sux all year. This game is horrible and the Detroit D is not even playing tough.Peace

 

[mrpnlu]

Best over the top. TD.No need to keep Stafford in IMO.

i say take him, best and don mega out...let burleson get some with shaun hill.

[aardball44]

FYI, Lions' cornerback Aaron Berry came up lame on that last fumble recovery. Ankle? Hammy? Looked like he hopped funny, favoring his right leg.

 

[teamramrod]

41-3

I have them on both sides othe Off/Def contest in the Shark Pool this week. Peace

 

[SacramentoBob]

2nd return in a row where McCluster brings it out of the end zone and doesn't get back to the 20.

 

[jon_mx]

Best top 10 back this year if he stays healthy.

In PPR, yes. Hasn't been very effective running the ball though.

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

It seems like the Chiefs may not be very good this year.

 

[aardball44]

Chiefs snakebit by injuries.

 

[SacramentoBob]

It seems like the Chiefs may not be very good this year.

It's just a flesh wound.

Bowe has 101 yards as bad as the Chiefs are.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Bowe should've had that.

 

[teamramrod]

Sloppy play by Bowe....Should have caught that.

Peace

 

[MSULions]

Dwayne Bowe will always be a dropper. Don't understand it at all.

And another INT for Detroit!

 

[SacramentoBob]

Eazy E with the INT.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Hill in for Stafford.

 

[Grahamburn]

Anybody else awesome enough to have started Calvin, Stafford, and Best this week? :confetti:

 

[jon_mx]

When was the last time Detroit brought in the backup QB with over 8 minutes to go because it was out of hand?

 

[MSULions]

that's a hell of a catch by Titus Young. he looks like the real deal today - first full game.

and now Hali is down for the Chiefs. for crying out loud.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Nice catch down the sideline by Titus.

 

[Ilov80s]

Titus 5 rec for 89 yards

In one league, I started Stafford, Best, CJ and Burleson. Oh, and the Lions defense. And Hanson. Not a money league so I decided to have fun with it.

 

[teamramrod]

Ummm.....I dont know. Been a Lions fan since 78-79ish, remember our 8-0 start and Another One Bites the Dust, but I don't think we rested the QB....

Peace

 

[jon_mx]

Ummm.....I dont know. Been a Lions fan since 78-79ish, remember our 8-0 start and Another One Bites the Dust, but I don't think we rested the QB....Peace

I am thinking that was 6-0, and I think ended up 9-7. But I will check.

 

[ponchsox]

Did Pettigrew come back in the game after he got nicked up?

It was 1980...Billy Sims first year. Only started 4-0. Finished 9-7. The Lions have not been 8-0 in my lifetime.

Wow, the dim past always gets better with time I stand corrected.Peace

Yes.

 

[jon_mx]

It is amazing what a few good drafts, being aggressive on filling in pieces with free agents, and instilling a new attitude can do. Three years ago, this was the worst team of the super bowl era.

 

[MSULions]

2007 when they beat the Broncos 44-7?
