Megatron with his third td catch!
October 31st, 2010 at 4:15 PM ^
Unfortunately for me the guy I am playin this week in fantasy has CJ. He almost has more points than my entire team so far. I am looking at another loss and a 2-7 record. Fuckin autodraft. Or should I blame Gerg?
October 31st, 2010 at 4:18 PM ^
Gerg.

Awesome!
October 31st, 2010 at 4:22 PM ^
I was worried about a comeback but Rex Grossman is in. Lulz.
October 31st, 2010 at 4:24 PM ^
Called it. Awesome game.
October 31st, 2010 at 4:22 PM ^
Tackle on kick coverage!
What the hell. Rex Grossman sighting.

SUH TOUCHDOWN
October 31st, 2010 at 4:23 PM ^
Touchdown Suh!!! Defensive ROY! Almost went Leon Lett style there though.
October 31st, 2010 at 4:28 PM ^
Ha that's the first person I thought of when Suh started the pre-celebration dance. I'm sure he'll be smiling on a couch somewhere when he sees the highlights.
October 31st, 2010 at 4:38 PM ^
Yeah, I thought the Skins player was going to strip it out there, but he just bounced off instead. First NFL TD - big day for our boy named Suh. :)
October 31st, 2010 at 6:08 PM ^
he was like GTFO!
October 31st, 2010 at 4:23 PM ^
Wow, that I have no words for, unbelievably awesome. Suh for the win!
October 31st, 2010 at 4:36 PM ^
EAT IT MCNABB!!!
DETROIT FING LIONS FOOTBALL MFER!!!
October 31st, 2010 at 4:25 PM ^
Posbang for everyone! We need it!
October 31st, 2010 at 4:29 PM ^
If feels good to be a Lions fan today. There haven't been many Sunday's, that we have been able to say that. Damn... way cool.
October 31st, 2010 at 4:38 PM ^
were amazing aside from two big pass plays. They shut down the running game and made Donovan's life miserable. This isn't the same old Lions. They're the team on the rise and has a bright future. They're just a few pieces away from becoming a playoff team. This is exciting for the Lions fans and you have to give credit to Mayhew and Schwartz for overhauling the roster to the point where the Lions are a competent team.
October 31st, 2010 at 4:39 PM ^
No doubt in my mind.
SUH for ROY!
October 31st, 2010 at 4:45 PM ^
After watching us most weeks this season, we actually look like we have a comparable level of talent to most of the teams we've played. If we can shore up the special teams and cut down on the dumb penalties I wouldn't be surprised to see us go .500 from here on out, especially with a semi-favorable schedule ahead.
October 31st, 2010 at 5:17 PM ^
So can Mesko win a Rookie of the Year? Would it be defensive or offensive?
October 31st, 2010 at 5:50 PM ^
of course!
October 31st, 2010 at 5:59 PM ^
when the Lions win and both Michigan and State lose on the same weekend
October 31st, 2010 at 6:22 PM ^
but they may have destroyed the Redskins season. What was Mike Shanahan thinking when he took out his Hall of Fame QB, and put in Rex Grossman? Shanahan said Grossman gave them their best chance to win... really?
You know there are players right now who are thinking, is our coach... insane? Something like this could lose you your football team. One of the strangest moves, I have ever seen a smart football coach make.
October 31st, 2010 at 6:28 PM ^
"With a straight face, Shanahan explained that he thought Rex Grossman gave his team the best chance to win down six with two minutes remaining. Shanny blamed McNabb's multiple three-and-outs on thinking too much instead of just playing. He also cited Grossman's greater familiarity with the two-minute offense going back to last season with Kyle Shanahan in Houston."
Well if you don't want a QB that thinks too much, definitely put in Grossman.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:20 PM ^
nice to see Breaston having a nice day. 7 recs for 133 yards as of now, and 1 rush for 14 yards.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:53 PM ^
1. Green Bay Packers 5-3
2. Chicago Bears 4-3
3a. Detroit Lions 2-5
3b. Minnesota Vikings 2-5
The Lions are two games back in the NFC North standings. The Lions would've been one game back if it weren't for that stupid rule in the 1st game of the season. That really pisses me off now that I think about it. The Lions still have a shot of winning the division and it's a pretty bad division.
The Lions will have a tough game coming up against the Jets. The key is how will the Lions offense respond to the vaunted Jets defense.
October 31st, 2010 at 8:21 PM ^
...this Lions victory the more I contemplate it.
After the dong punch KR for a TD by the 'Skins to regain the lead, the thought in my head was, "Gee, same ol' Lions."
Then they totally upended my expectations by doing what the good teams do. They found a way to make their own luck in a tight game and come out with the victory.
I love the heads up insurance TD from Suh and how he already looks like a vet out there. He's definitely ROY material. Also love how competitive the Lions have looked in all their games so far.
If the Lions continue to trend upward, I think the main worry becomes keeping Stafford, CJ, Suh, and Best happy while they fill needs on their way to being a wild card/playoff contender.
Also loving how old man CWoodson is maintaining his DPOY form, especially against the big-mouthed Jets.
Darelle Who? LOLZ
