Nice rendition by Alto Reed

Calvin is going to destroy Houston. But lions still lose

That was outstanding. Much better than The Tigers did during the World Series

 

[dgreen]

JJ Watt on pace for about 40 sacks today.

Seeing Johnathan Joseph out made me salivate.

 

[letter_j]

That's nuts that Jeff Backus has not missed a game since the seventh grade.

They must have known he would play sax giving him a name like that. Is K. Smith active? (desperation!)

 

[jon_mx]

I liked Broyles 100 times better than young anyways. Better football player

 

[dgreen]

Nice catch by Megatron.

 

[mikel2014]

What a catch by Calvin. Showing off how much of a physical freak he is laying out on that one.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Remember when the Texans defense was good?

If by active you mean playing no. But he is dressed

I have tried...really hard...to figure out what people see in Stafford.

Has always struck me as a decent, but hardly spectacular NFL QB. Misses too many open WRs, at this point I'm convinced his FF value is built on opportunities more than talent.

A lot of folks that benched LeShoure Sr. on the matchup not so thankful right now.

This is generally true, although this year his throwing mechanics have been all messed up relative to last year. I'm sure you'll have plenty of opportunities today to see his fadeaway, off the back foot sidearm. Overall he appears pretty average to me -- strong arm, but below-average accuracy and Calvin Johnson picks him up a lot.But when you're on pace to throw the ball 683 times, even an average QB will rack up decent fantasy points (well, unless you want TD's...)!

 

[GregR]

That was the first rushing touchdown the Texans have given up this year.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

That was the first rushing touchdown the Texans have given up this year.

Impressive.

 

[jon_mx]

The is the first game the Luons have showed up in the first half

 

[Grace Under Pressure]

That's gonna be a 15 yd unsportsmanlike penalty on Houston. Stupidly throws the ball at the Lions player when everything was clearly over.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Suh "accidently" kick Schaub.

 

[VikingFrog]

Suh "accidently" kick Schaub.

In the wiener

 

[Islanders rule]

This is looking like a Lions win. Crap!

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

This is looking like a Lions win. Crap!

We'll see if they can actually put the Texans away. Their last possession was pretty weak.

 

[death of the cool]

1 carry for Foster in two drives...

The Texans are trying to get cute

 

[GregR]

Not really. They normally use the pass heavily early on to set up the run. Kubiak uses some scripted early plays that are used to determine early how the opponent is defending various formations in the passing game.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

It had to touch Quinn. A ball doesn't just start traveling backwards in mid-air.

 

[renesauz]

it hit him

 

[Lavachebeadsman]

This game is ####### stupid.

 

[Grace Under Pressure]

Special teams killing the Texans in this game. This time it's going to be a turnover. Both times the Lions gifted them great field position.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

That is a clear touch.

 

[Irish Chaos]

wtf, that is definitely conclusive....

 

[bonesman]

pffffff... terrible. Bring back the replacements.

 

[renesauz]

Good God...why have replay if you're gonna miss an easy call like that anyway?

 

[BobbyLayne]

Terrible review. Absolutely horrible.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Unbelievable.

It's not conclusive if you don't know the slightest thing about basic physics.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

You have to be ####### kidding me.

 

[GregR]

Bad call, should have been Lions ball.

 

[elitzer]

wel like i have been saying.all games are fixed and referres have control along with vegas

 

[MSULions]

look at that....Lions get screwed by a review. shocking. how is a ball clearly bouncing off a player's thigh inconclusive?

 

[ffldrew]

Looks like I'll need to stop at Lenscrafters at the mall during my holiday shopping for new glasses

 

[SSOG]

Logged on just to say how that review was.

 

[elitzer]

this is going to be a low low scoring thanksgiving day for all teams and players

 

[coolnerd]

look at that....Lions get screwed by a review. shocking. how is a ball clearly bouncing off a player's thigh inconclusive?

There was no shot that showed the ball touching Quin, but the ball reacting like it was touched by quin. difference.

 

[BobbyLayne]

5 straight 3 and outs.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

I hope Calvin goes 91 just to punish the Texans for their timidness on 4th and short.

 

[Sarnoff]

Are you guys watching a different feed? I didn't see it conclusively at all. No stake in this game, but I guess I just didn't see whatever Detroit saw on that replay. Perhaps if they had a camera on the other side of the field, but from what I saw it wasn't clear at all.

 

[Irish Chaos]

for some reason stafford has looked really offthis year. im a fan but he just has been looking average...not really sure why though..

 

[Grace Under Pressure]

Texans got a gift from the refs. But then on 4th and 1 just inside Lions territory, decide to punt. Texans out of sorts today, although the D has picked it up.
