I actually think getting Pettigrew back helps the offense a lot. There isn't another TE on the roster that can block. It will be nice not being so predictable by bringing in Lucas every time we need to run.

Who are our starters at DT? Our rotation? Mike Iupati vs Princeton's got talent? Remember when we drafted 2 first round DTs in the past 5 years.

I'm thinking Reid and our rookie, Gabe something.

I would like to believe that the lions will come out Sunday and act like a team that demands respect and play with fire and a sense of urgancy all 4 quarters and not just the 4th.

"I'd like to believe"

Give me a reason to lions

Tigermud right now.

I keep hearing over and over how the play last week was a judgment call on the refs part. That is complete BS. The rule states the defensive player can't bat the ball out of bounds and he clearly did.

But the one ref saw it different, right or wrong. Plus it's not a reviewable play. Time to move past..

10-2 finish begins

42-10 lions

What happened was one ref looked at the other and said meh it's the lions don't call it, ok, good point, seattles ball

 

[tigermud]

For some unknown reason I have this weird thought the offense won't completely suck today so I'll go

Arizona 31 Lions 17

 

[biggunsbob]

If the Lions can win today I believe we will be either 4-4 or 3-5 going into the packer game.. I feel we will beat both the Vikings and the bears and probably have a closer game then expected verses Kc.

I thought the game was on at 1, as thats what yahoo fantasy says, so I was about to flip when I saw 'extra' was on at 1pm on Fox lol.

4pm it is - see you guys then

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Cant wait.

Always have a good feeling for home games.

 

[tigermud]

I'm going to wear my Barry jersey today for the first time in years, I remember they used to win once in a while when he played

I doubt it will help but who knows..

Jamal Charles looks to be done for the year again

Saw that, seems like every time we play the Chiefs we don't have to deal with him

I love Charles - hes a great RB and a good guy too...sucks he got hurt again, dude is a freak when healthy...

 

[grandy]

Stepped on the back line...actually wanted to run it out

 

[tigermud]

Lions win the toss and elect to receive! Uggggg dummies

Gawd I hate having the ball first! Idiots

 

[grandy]

Offsides...only time you'll see a throw like that in this offense
