Lions have to steal one eventually.

Lions have to steal one eventually.

Not this week. I'm guessing DET will win a divisional game though.I got three players going in this one today. Portis, Santana and Calvin. I think the Calvin/Rogers matchup is going to be a good one. Assuming Detroit throws Calvin the ball

Rogers has been absolutely outstanding this year. This matchup may not be what you think.

 

[T Bell]

Jeez. Way to step in a bucket on the one freaking yard line after marching down the field, guys.

 

[King of the Wolfies]

1st and goal at the 1 and they lose 7 yards?? waht kind of ####### calls where made?

Skins seem comfortable leaving Rogers one on one with some very good WRs, I personally don't think Calvin can be covered one on one. However its not like he has a QB that can explot one on one anyhow

I'm sure Landry will be providing deep coverage too. But Rogers is great in press coverage and has been blanketing guys.

How did the Lions get down the field?

for the people who dont know what happened? little info please..

 

[sldonnel]

Anyone know why K. Smith hasn't seen the ball? Has he seen the field? It's ugly that I had to start him... R.Bush hurt, Jennings on Bye, and Thigpen's start in KC led me to bench Bowe. Thus K.Smith and C.Benson make up 2/3 of my starting RBs. UGLY!

 

[T Bell]

for the people who dont know what happened? little info please..

Redskins drive nicely to midfield, then Campbell drops back (holds the ball for too long?) and is hit, sacked and fumbles the ball away.

 

[T Bell]

Torrance isn't a bad nickel CB, but Furrey may be a mismatch for the Lions to exploit.

 

[Mt. Man]

for the people who dont know what happened? little info please..

Campbell held onto the ball too long (and/or didn't see a wide open Cooley) and fumbled.Lions got the ball in Redskins territory, and are threatening to score....Scratch that, just did. Lions' first points in the first quarter all year.

Don't know what to tell you. I'm listening to the Redskins radio broadcast and they said nothing. Rudi just carried again for a TD.

 

[Max Power]

That was a nice drive for Det. They actually looked like an NFL team

 

[Max Power]

That D holding call was huge

 

[SofaKings]

Go Lions!!!

 

[towney]

K. Smith MIA???

 

[T Bell]

Leave it to the friggin' 'Skins to give the Lions their first 1st quarter points this year.

This team is so close to being a very good team, but they make mistakes that hold them back and give their opponents' chances.

Smith is not the starting RB.

 

[King of the Wolfies]

is portis hurt?

 

[Max Power]

I think the Skins just like to keep games close as they can

 

[Goooals]

why no Portis?

 

[Mt. Man]

why no Portis?

Most likely just resting him as much as possible. He just got a carry, so don't panic. Especially since it looks like the Redskins need him to move the ball.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Kevin Smith now in the game.

 

[Goooals]

Nevermind.....LOL

Smith is not the starting RB.

Thanks - good point. K.Smith got most of his work in the 2nd half last week. You'd think I'd pay more attention to details like this......

 

[SofaKings]

Lions moving on Redskins D.

And he now has his first 3 touches: 2-10 and 1-9. Maybe this is "his series."

 

[Mt. Man]

I thought the announcers were going to jinx Hanson, but he makes it as Detroit gets their second lead of 7 or more in the season.

 

[T Bell]

Anyone watching the game? Was Jansen's penalty legit? The 'Skins announcing team didn't think so.

 

[dgreen]

This is a bit sickening.

Not legit.

 

[T Bell]

Thanks for the timeout, Lions!

 

[T Bell]

So they convert an impossible 3rd down, and then step on their Richard once again with a penalty.

 

[Mt. Man]

I lost count -- what was that, 4th or 5th first down lost by Washington due to penalty?

 

[T Bell]

I would say that was a good 2 minute drive but that was pretty ugly. They're lucky they could make some big plays because they gave up a lot of yards on penalties.

 

[Assani Fisher]

Campbell is 16/19 for 186 yards in the first half.....why on earth don't we just pass every single down???

 

[T Bell]

I just went deaf listening to Michael Strahan doing a radio commerical for "Vatheline Thkin". I swear they put as many "S" words into that ad copy as possible.

 

[Assani Fisher]

1st down: run for -1 yards

2nd down: pass for 20+ yards

1st down: run for 2 yards

WTF!!! Pass the ball!!

 

[T Bell]

And another drive stalls . . .

 

[King of the Wolfies]

maybe calling a 1st down play other than Portis off right tackle would help.
