Game Thread W7 - Detroit V Houston (1 Viewer)

[Mt. Man]

I like Calvin Johnson.

And he gets the 2-point conversion, too, showing excellent form and knowledge of where he was in the end zone.

 

[JZilla]

2 catches for 154 is pretty solid. They need to just implement the Randy ratio from here on out.

 

[Koya]

anyone see the play? what happened?

Which play? If you mean the CJ touchdown, he's just faster than the other guy. Blew by the CB, looked like he was in cruise control and got more room between he and the defender with every step.

 

[mike10778]

AND.....

Add on a 2-point conversion.

Ill take it!

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

garbage time rocks!!! calvin 98 bomb for td

garbage time? Detroit is back in this game with that. down 2 scores.

only 96 yards...

missed typed in my excitement... capped off the drive with a 2pt conversion to calvin

 

[Spartans Rule]

anyone see the play? what happened?

Single coverage and Calvin ran right by it. No safety help. Not sure if they were blitzing or what, haven't seen a replay of the LOS, they just keep showing Calvin.

yea the TD. So did Orlovsky actually threw a nice long ball or was it a catch n run?

Well Orlovsky had to shorted his 15 step normal drop because he would of been another highlight joke for running out of the endzone again. An in doing so he actually wasn't back pedddling and stepped into the throw.

He made a nice throw but Calvin beat his guy. Orlovsky actually stepped into the throw which he hasn't been doing a whole lot of

Just a go route and he beat the corner badly. Didn't see who it was but i'm sure it was Reeves.

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

detroit stops em. gets ball back.

until Lions rough the kicker.

lol the refs call "running into kicker" not roughing.

too bad Andre davis (same guy who tipped ball at 1 yd line last kick) downs another kick at the one.

99 yards to megatron?

Chris Rose just said Marcus Fagans was one who got beat on 96 yder. His replacement 32 russell just got a BIG personal foul called on him.

 

[Mt. Man]

Great one-handed grab by Furrey to keep the drive (and hopes) alive.

 

[JZilla]

So this is why Houston is 1-4

No reason the Lions should be in this right now.

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

will demps gets another late hit OB. lions 1st down the cheap way.

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

awwww. so close. thought Mega had another TD. Knocked away by bennett at last second.

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

can someone tell me why Megatron wasn't even on the field for that 3rd and long play? wtf marinelli!

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

Hanson nails his second 54 yarder to bring Lions within one score.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Hanson is

Rod didn't like his pad level on that last play.

 

[Big Score]

When the Motor City Kitties got down so early, I was thinking they might just go ahead & mail it in. Regardless of the outcome, I'm so glad to see the Lions make a game of this.

 

[OU#1]

For those taking notes: Megatron has 3 targets, 3 touches, -2 Rush, 154 Rec, and a 96 yard TD

And if you weren't paying attention 1 target, 1 touch, 58 Rec was on a hail mary at the end of the first half.

I don't know if I should be a happy FF owner right now or just cry!

Regardless, GO CALVIN!

The Perfect season continues!

 

[Mt. Man]

Lions D sets things up for one last shot, but Furrey lets the ball bounce past him, to be downed inside the 5 yet again.

Orlovsky can't find the 96-yard connection to Cal (or anyone else this time), and the game ends with the ball going backwards out of bounds.

Lions 0-6 and likely desperately hoping to avoid 0-16; Houston 2-4 and looking to go to 3-4 vs Cincy next week, and thus revive their hopes.

 

[W1cked]

It wasn't Furrey it was McDonald on the punt returns and he was horrible today.

 

[jcole76]

FOr those watching, can we anoint Andre Johnson the best WR in the league at this point? After two bad games he seems possessed.

#1 - It was the Lions. #2 - It was the Lions and he failed to score a TD

 

[Wooderson]

Rudi Johnson had 6 for 8 yards

while

Kevin Smith had 10 for 61 yards and TD

Is Rudi's chance at being the starting RB done? I could see them go with the rookie from here on out.

It's the Lions... who knows. They started OL George Foster, again. The announcers said he has been benched five times the last two years. An he had two more false start penalties. Smith if I recall left the game after being tackled out of bounds.

Orvlosky needed a couple extra yards so he wouldn't run out of the back of the endzone (be thankful it was 96).

Kudos to Orlovsky for making a nice throw. I can't remember the last time a Lions QB hit a receiver in stride on a go route. If it was Kitna, the ball would have been over thrown or the receiver would have had to slow down to try and catch it.
