This will be pinned once the games start

Post comments here and please be excellent with one another

 

[Underachievers]

That was too easy.

Doesn't that sound familiar?

 

[Willy]

Brutal start for the Lions. 2 penalties and the packers score on just 4 plays.

 

[ceo3west]

Is Stafford playing? Yahoo scoreboard has him in there

 

[belljr]

please tell me live scoring is wrong and stafford is not playing

 

[Willy]

It's Hill

 

[ProBowler88]

please tell me live scoring is wrong and stafford is not playing

Hill is out there, the scoring is wrong

whew i was stuck with hill this week

 

[TS Garp]

Whoever it is, they're moving the ball.

 

[red]

no best?

 

[TS Garp]

Best is out already? Great...

 

[Gators]

Best just made a tackle

 

[gary mexico]

Its Hill and his two TE's..thats the only game in town...

 

[McJose]

Best is out already? Great...

Not getting the game here...is he playing at all?

 

[FavreCo]

1st drive calvin totally uninvolved. Genius.

best is out already.kevin smith on.were all screwed

 

[footballfan]

Best is in there, he just fell on a passing play and the ball resulted in a int, great i hope he does not blame the toe

 

[Lascelle]

1st drive calvin totally uninvolved. Genius.

Who's Calvin? Some field reporter on the sidelines?Detroit has Tony Fing Scheffler to heave balls to downfield.(I was at least smart enough to bench Megatron this week.)

 

[FFdork]

I had that game on for a minute. It looks like Best is in on obvious passing downs. I'm sure someone paying closer attention can verify.

 

[Guru]

2 rushing yards for Best!

 

[abhall]

Calvin Johnson catches a pass before the 4th quarter. Amazing.

 

[tkrull]

I've watched all the snaps. Doesn't look like Best is favoring it...and we've had a Megatron sighting.

 

[smackdaddies]

Lions have looked as good as the Pack, with the exception of a reciever falling down and Hawk getting the int. Hill has looked good, moved the ball well.

Oh, and a Driver TD

 

[FavreCo]

Now we see what happens when you involve Calvin Johnson.

 

[The Real Hipster Doofus]

Throw the ball to Calvin, score points....

Maybe they figured it out now

 

[smackdaddies]

Calvin TD. Sheffler was open also

I mean both were wide open

 

[tkrull]

Always start your studs...

 

[Johnny Ice]

Calvin is in the building!!!!!!!!!!

 

[nysportsfan]

About friggin time, sheesh.

 

[sho nuff]

Yeah, lets have a rookie safety and Jarrett Bush be the only people close to Calvin...nice D.

 

[smackdaddies]

Now we see what happens when you involve Calvin Johnson.

Lions are moving at will, with or without CJ. I mean at will - shredding the Packers.

You benched Calvin against the Packers? Might want to check the history books before you make that move again.

 

[captbly]

Finally some nice play calling for the Lions. Putting CJ on the bench is never an option.

 

[smackdaddies]

I dont mind ribbons, whatever to support a cause

But man, hot pink is not a football color

Yeah... yeah.

LOL...only reason I know that is because I am a Packer fan.

 

[sho nuff]

3rd and one and we go deep? Am I reading that right online (not able to watch today.

That has been an issue for years now...even before McCarthy they used to do that. And I hate it every time...just get the first down.

 

[smackdaddies]

In PPR leauges were te get 2pt per rcpt, Schefler is top 10 TE, and Pettigrew isn't far behind. How odd is that?

Considering the grabbing of the junk that has been going on, maybe it should be.

Yes, play action, roll right, and Rodgers threw deep to WR who fell down. Throw was out of bounds anyway.

 

[ArcticEdge]

 

[smackdaddies]

On one 3 and 1, the Pack handed off to Kuhn and he did not get it. That is a problem with RB - you have to be able to run for 1 yard.

yeah they mentioned on telecast that they have the most receptions of any TE combo in the league

Agreed. And he needs to get over his John Kuhn obsession. Two drives in a row ending on 3rd and short when just about every phase of our offense other than those which he chose would have kept the chains moving with ease.

 

[Clifford]

Man I wish monkeysee wasn't banned. 9 yard gain?

 

[smackdaddies]

However, the Lions can convert that play (against 12 men, no less)

 

[smackdaddies]

fumball by Detroit, Packers get the ball

 

[RBM]

Best fumble, GB recovers

 

[Mr Anonymous]

Allright McCarthy, can you not screw this golden opportunity up with 3 straight John Kuhn runs up the middle? TIA.

 

[smackdaddies]

If it wasn't for turnovers, pretty sure the Lions would be winning this game
