Post comments here and please be excellent to one another

This will be pinned once the game starts

 

[ghawk]

Did Stafford start the game? On CBS is stated Stafford...

 

[SammyJankis]

According to NFL.com Stafford started? Wow. Wasn't expecting that.

 

[ghawk]

Forget it..... They corrected the mistake

 

[griff321]

..And Boom goes the dynamite. John Sullivan down with what appears to be the same calf he injured in preseason. Can't catch a break.

[ArcticEdge]

Hey Chilly!!! Can you go just one game without looking like a deer in headlights..!?!

 

[The Real Hipster Doofus]

Not much room for Adrian Peterson in the early going. He will probably break a big one today though.

 

[ArcticEdge]

Kluwe is our best player!!!

 

[The Real Hipster Doofus]

Favre

 

[ArcticEdge]

Wow..

 

[Osaurus]

Was that int by a lineman?

 

[The Real Hipster Doofus]

Was that int by a lineman?

Yes. Favre tried to throw a screen to Gerhart and hit the lineman right in the stomach.

You'd think so. The over/under is 220.

 

[irishnips]

Stay HOT Brett.

 

[Ilov80s]

TD Scheffler on 3rd after int by DT Corey Williams.

 

[netnalp]

Wonder if the Lions would have success with that play of the Pats that Waldman explained, the bubble screen I think it was. Two TE's out wide to one side with Welker behind them. Do that with Pettigrew and Scheffler with Best behind them.

 

[Vike Me]

This team is lost. Childress is so far over his head it's really not funny anymore.

 

[Ilov80s]

The Lions d-line is one of the best in then league.

 

[whoknew]

Nice job #######.

 

[whoknew]

Nice coverage there.

 

[Ilov80s]

Ugh, stupid turnover costs us 7. Harvin from Favre

 

[The Real Hipster Doofus]

The Lions d-line is one of the best in then league.

Unfortunately their secondary is the worst by a fair margin. If they can address that secondary this offseason, they can make some real noise next year.

 

[Vike Me]

Almost overthrew him.

 

[The Doctor]

the day i bench that pos harvin he actualy scores....

 

[whitem0nkey]

Almost overthrew him.

you would think with him being so open he would not have to dive for it.

 

[Clifford]

how is best looking?

 

[The Dynasty]

how is best looking?

Decent. 6 for 25 with 16 coming off one run. 1 rec for 5 yds.

 

[The Real Hipster Doofus]

how is best looking?

Decent. Not a whole lot of running room. Had one play where he made some really nice moves and almost broke it for some big yardage.

 

[Clifford]

Man I wish I had that game.

 

[bcover27]

To add, I think it was the second drive, Best ran what looked like a slant and he had the entire middle of the field wide open, but the pass was batted down at the LOS.. would have been a huge play

 

[The Real Hipster Doofus]

Favre is really imploding this year. Fumbles on a hit and looks to be banged up pretty good. Minnesota saved by a penalty on the hit.

 

[netnalp]

I think Farve sits milking a minor injury most of this year. He doesn't want to get beat up just to go 8-8.

 

[Bonka]

Is DeAndre Levy playing?

 

[Vike Me]

I think Farve sits milking a minor injury most of this year. He doesn't want to get beat up just to go 8-8.

Yep, cuz he's done that so often in his career.

 

[griff321]

The Lions would be best to use Best and not on these reverse and stretch plays, it's really the wrong way to attack this Vikings D.

 

[werdnoynek]

best mia in the last lions possession?

 

[Vike Me]

Harvin is really good.

 

[TS Garp]

best mia in the last lions possession?

Same question. To those watching the game -- did he just get a series off?

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Lol, what a random challenge by Schwartz. 4 yards on a play that was a 1st down either way.

 

[bcover27]

When there's been handoffs to the other RBs/Fullbacks as far as I've seen Best has been on the field too, just split out wide. One of his carries earlier was a direct snap/wildcat play, too. He's been on the field most of the day.

 

[Yenrub]

What's up with Calvin Johnson?

 

[gigantor]

Hang em up Favre

 

[The Real Hipster Doofus]

Favre hit as he throws and picked off

 

[Vike Me]

Loadholt is a waste

 

[werdnoynek]

i'm watching the game, but he's been MIA. i didn't see an injury or anything... MoMo has just been in.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Loadholt is a waste

Coke machine feet.

 

[irishnips]

where is Best? Swing pass to Morris?

 

[werdnoynek]

where is Best? Swing pass to Morris?

yeah, still no best, announcers have said nothing about it
