OT - NFL/Lions Open Thread/MNF
Hopefully my Lions can help subdue some of this weekend's disappointment again. I'm not too optimistic with Shaun Hill facing the NYG's defense, especially because we're not sure Calvin is playing. That being said, I'll be chugging the honolulu blue Kool-Aid if we win and will buy tickets to see them play the Redskins in a couple weeks.
Mod Edit: Bumped and slightly renamed for MNF

Why didn't Jason Hanson kick it out of bounds? Oh you ARE supposed to do that on a kickoff.
October 17th, 2010 at 3:28 PM ^
Great followed by tragedy. Jesus, this franchise is cursed.
October 17th, 2010 at 3:30 PM ^
The game is not on in my area. What happened? Who got hurt?
October 17th, 2010 at 3:31 PM ^
Neck injury.
October 17th, 2010 at 3:33 PM ^
Jeebus this game is rough. Major injuries in almost every game. Hope he's okay.
October 17th, 2010 at 3:36 PM ^
Oh No. BG just went down.
October 17th, 2010 at 3:37 PM ^
O-lineman dove right at his left knee. Did not look good :-(
October 17th, 2010 at 3:39 PM ^
I hope he is okay. He was pointing at his ankle on the sideline.
October 17th, 2010 at 3:38 PM ^
But they have shown plenty of tenacity.It is a step towards being a good team.
October 17th, 2010 at 3:38 PM ^
Wow that block on Ernie Simms was crazy.
October 17th, 2010 at 3:41 PM ^
Woo! Chad Henne!
October 17th, 2010 at 3:46 PM ^
Other former wolverine:
Jason Avant is having a pretty decent day so far, 5 rec for 62 yds.
Tom Brady 19/24 for 224 1 td 1 int
Mario Manningham 3 rec for 50 yds 1 td
October 17th, 2010 at 3:44 PM ^
Come on offense. Just throw it up to Megatron. Stanton make yourself useful for once.
EDIT: Or just fumble it for the second time.
October 17th, 2010 at 3:46 PM ^
Nice for Backus to recover the fumble after allowing the sack. Yeesh.
October 17th, 2010 at 3:47 PM ^
Is it just me or does Pettigrew rarely put the ball away after catching it. Always seems like he's going to fumble.
He is huge, tho, so there is that. :)
October 17th, 2010 at 3:50 PM ^
Yep. That is so fitting
October 17th, 2010 at 3:52 PM ^
Dammit. This weekend blows.
October 17th, 2010 at 4:11 PM ^
The Lions jail secks the Rams by 38 points last week.
The Rams beat the Chargers this week.
I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS!
October 17th, 2010 at 4:10 PM ^
According to ESPN Shaun Hill broke his left forearm in the first half. That sucks because he was playing really well with Stafford out. At least Stafford will be good for our next game after the bye week but now we have Stanton as our primary backup. Fuck. Also, Zack Follet was taken to the hospital and is conscious and has feeling in his extremities. Hope he has a full and fast recovery. Get well Zack.

He is a terrible first-round pick. If you're a TE and you're drafted in the first round, you should not drop one pass per game.
October 17th, 2010 at 4:17 PM ^
is 3rd in the NFL in reception and reception yards by TEs. He's drafted because he's a great all around TE who can block.
Every WR drops passes even CJ.
October 17th, 2010 at 4:17 PM ^
I know that the game is over now, and Stanton had an okay game and great effort, but this was me when Drew went in-
October 17th, 2010 at 4:26 PM ^
I got Rick Rolled. Well played sir.
October 17th, 2010 at 4:34 PM ^
The Space Emperor doing his thing in OT, huge 60+ yd punt to pin back the Ravens.
October 17th, 2010 at 4:48 PM ^
another TD. FFFFFUUUUu. Gums Austin better get his act together, or there will be consequences and repercussions.
October 17th, 2010 at 5:22 PM ^
Tebow scores.
October 17th, 2010 at 11:03 PM ^
October 17th, 2010 at 11:07 PM ^

MNF starting. I want both teams to lose, but Jacksonville winning is probably better for me.
Possible talking point, why is this the MNF game of the week. Bleh.
October 18th, 2010 at 8:54 PM ^
Ya I agree this is not a great matchup for Monday night, could get ugly for Jacksonville with the Titans offense clicking early.
October 18th, 2010 at 8:57 PM ^
Vince Young will throw a pick and keep it interesting.
October 18th, 2010 at 9:00 PM ^
Of fumble a snap and get injured.
October 18th, 2010 at 9:01 PM ^
And what do ya know, he just fumbled the snap....blah just hand the ball to Chris Johnson and watch the magic happen.
October 18th, 2010 at 9:07 PM ^
that was a nasty looking injury and he walked away. Wow.
