OT: Open NFL Thread/Detroit Lions Thread

Submitted by Michigan4Life on

Thanks to the Bengals game blacking out, I can watch the Lions/Bears game on tv!  whooooo.

 

In other news, I'm expecting a Lions loss since Drew Stanton is the starting QB.  Stanton is pretty bad, but you already knew this.

Nice to see my man Drew getting a shot and performing well so far.  Hopefully he keeps it up.

has been fantastic in offensive playcalls.  The running game has apparently show up.  Drew Stanton is throwing a lot of low risk passes which is screen passes and quick passes.  He knew that he can't afford Stanton to drop back and throw intermediate to deep passes.  The Bears defense is having a hard time stopping the Lions offense which is weird since they have a 3rd string QB playing, 3rd string RB getting most of the snap.

This is ridiculous, how does it seem that the Lions get a lot of the short end of the stick on calls.  That was not a forearm to the back of the head!

Stanton did a solid job today but his limitations were very clear when the Lions had to come from behind.  Scott Linehan did a great job of keeping the game close and still put up 20 points against one of the better defense in the NFL with a 3rd string QB and 3rd string RB on the field.
