Lions v. Titans Open Thread
Good game to watch to get your mind off of things. Most of us are rooting for the Lions, but it's nice to see Mike Martin already make a stand at the line of scrimmage. Mikel Lesure looks solid so far. Lions having trouble in the passing game and can't get anything in the endzone. It's a good thing they have Hanson, who has made 3 FG's and is now punting for the team.
The Titans had a succesful lateral on a punt return that went for a TD, and a 60 yard TD pass from Jake Locker. Lions don't look terrible, but they certainly don't look like a playoff team.

Did I see Mouton making some plays for Tenn?!
September 23rd, 2012 at 2:26 PM ^
but no. That was cornerback Ryan Mouton.
September 23rd, 2012 at 3:56 PM ^
wow....good to see we drafted broyles in the 2nd rnd. not that this team needed help in the secondary or anything.
September 23rd, 2012 at 2:27 PM ^
Ours plays for the Chargers. This guy is Ryan, a DB. But not a common enough name you'd think there'd be two in the NFL.
September 23rd, 2012 at 2:24 PM ^
Terrible play calling, throw the football.....no more of this 3rd down pitch to the big back LeShoure.
September 23rd, 2012 at 2:25 PM ^
Mike Martin got the start today.
September 23rd, 2012 at 2:27 PM ^
He had a nice 3rd down stop on Leshoure as well, although I'm not sure why the lions run the ball on 3rd down. Have they ever converted a 3rd or 4th in short on the ground?
September 23rd, 2012 at 2:33 PM ^
Getting some good reps, just wish it wasn't against the Lions
September 23rd, 2012 at 2:32 PM ^
Pathetic defense, pathetic refs
September 23rd, 2012 at 2:35 PM ^
Fuck football. I'm becoming a cricket fan.
GO, uh, LOCAL CRICKET TEAM.
September 23rd, 2012 at 2:57 PM ^
Pettigrew has dropped more passes than he's caught this year. It's getting pretty annoying.
September 23rd, 2012 at 3:01 PM ^
Hey look what happens when you pass the ball? You get downfield quick and score TD's...
September 23rd, 2012 at 3:15 PM ^
For both sides
September 23rd, 2012 at 3:34 PM ^
How is that Matt Stafford has been in shotgun today more than Denard was yesterday?
#shakesfistatgods
September 23rd, 2012 at 3:35 PM ^
is confusing for me.
September 23rd, 2012 at 3:46 PM ^
Awesome special teams today guys.
September 23rd, 2012 at 3:46 PM ^
2 special team touchdowns
September 23rd, 2012 at 3:46 PM ^
The Titans have missed 2 field goals but have had a better special teams performance for than the Lions. This is crazy.
September 23rd, 2012 at 3:50 PM ^
Allowing 2 special teams TDs is unacceptable.
September 23rd, 2012 at 3:52 PM ^
Link??
September 23rd, 2012 at 3:54 PM ^
Just happen right?
September 23rd, 2012 at 3:54 PM ^
Well, that sucked
September 23rd, 2012 at 3:56 PM ^
Wendling is a joke. He shouldn't be out there. F it.
September 23rd, 2012 at 4:03 PM ^
Jacob Lacey is the worst CB in the league. I wouldn't blame Wendling for that.
September 23rd, 2012 at 3:59 PM ^
This Titans team has gotten every break today and yet they still might not win. If the Lions ever get a competent secondary, they'd be unstoppable.
September 23rd, 2012 at 4:00 PM ^
We will have someone competent in the secondary. Really tired of hear how "great" Delmas is when he can't stay healthy.
September 23rd, 2012 at 4:02 PM ^
Some semblance of a pass rush from our "awesome" d-line would be nice as well. Avril and Suh have been non existent.
September 23rd, 2012 at 4:03 PM ^
Leshure is going to take this offense to the next level. Defense still sucks though. Special teams is atrocious. I want 6 secondary players in next years draft.
Edit: and a TE strong enough to grip the ball
September 23rd, 2012 at 4:03 PM ^
Grew!
September 23rd, 2012 at 4:03 PM ^
What a joke.
September 23rd, 2012 at 4:03 PM ^
also sucked
September 23rd, 2012 at 4:04 PM ^
Man, this feels like yesterday's game.
September 23rd, 2012 at 4:04 PM ^
Garbage, just garbage. All kinds of mistakes, and the first half Gameplan of run, run, pass, punt is terrible. Bad weekend of football all around.
September 23rd, 2012 at 4:04 PM ^
Awful
September 23rd, 2012 at 4:05 PM ^
With the strong hands.
September 23rd, 2012 at 4:05 PM ^
Just unbelievable. Football is depressing me.
September 23rd, 2012 at 4:05 PM ^
Pettigrew please. His drops and lack of ability don't make up for the occasional catch he decides to make. Put in sheffler and send him for maybe a cb that played in division 1
September 23rd, 2012 at 4:06 PM ^
Scheffler didn't practice all week and was inactive today with a calf injury. But yes Pettigrew fails to live up to his potential.
September 23rd, 2012 at 4:09 PM ^
But yes very displeased with pettigrew this season. He is making more mistakes than ever this year, starting with that dropped td pass against the rams to today's awful performance.
September 23rd, 2012 at 4:06 PM ^
This weekend has been very embarrassing for me.
September 23rd, 2012 at 4:06 PM ^
Oh good. I was hoping for another loss where the better team blew it.
September 23rd, 2012 at 4:06 PM ^
Pettigrew has been a liability lately. It feels like he's done more for the other team than for his own this year. It's inexplicable, but we might need to bench him if he can't be trusted with the ball.
September 23rd, 2012 at 4:06 PM ^
What a joke of a team
September 23rd, 2012 at 4:06 PM ^
This team has no killer instinct at all. They are as soft as a cotton ball. Wow what a joke
September 23rd, 2012 at 4:06 PM ^
we're playing Lions football. I'm shooting myself tonight.
September 23rd, 2012 at 4:08 PM ^
We could have drafted Michael Oher instead of Pettibust.
September 23rd, 2012 at 4:10 PM ^
You want another highly drafted and overrated right tackle?
