It’s time for Sunday Night Football! Let’s go Lions.

I think Brown had that first down if he cuts up but he didn’t..

 

[biggunsbob]

Well the defense was good for one drive. .

 

[Monster]

I don't like the defense we're playing now. Too much space for stafford to pick us apart. Need a pass rush

 

[biggunsbob]

Too easy on 3rd and 6.

 

[Cam]

Needed that sack

 

[biggunsbob]

Sack !

Backup tackles for the rams. Hutch needs to get there soon

 

[gotime909]

No pace on offense. Speed it up

 

[gotime909]

I really hope Ben figures out how to get Jamo the ball consistently this year. That bubble screen was weak. Get him down the field

Agree. Call was not good.

 

[gotime909]

This looks like an offense that didn't get any preseason reps. Hopefully they'll start clicking now

 

[wlvrnstlr4life]

That Dan Campbell Applebees commercial was hilarious.

 

[biggunsbob]

When is Stafford going to throw US a pick ?

 

[gotime909]

Force a turnover here d

 

[biggunsbob]

Come on d. Pathetic run defense on 2nd and 10.

 

[biggunsbob]

Running right at hutch.
