In all fairness, both of those passes were within garage distance of the receiver.
October 10th, 2011 at 9:56 PM ^
John Gruden thinks ever player is amazing.
October 10th, 2011 at 10:02 PM ^
John Gruden and Fred Jackson were childhood buddies.
October 10th, 2011 at 9:53 PM ^
All these flags are really killing me. I just want to see some clean football.
October 10th, 2011 at 9:54 PM ^
Delmas completely blew that play.
October 10th, 2011 at 9:58 PM ^
Fire up those Lions through electronic osmosis!
October 10th, 2011 at 10:00 PM ^
October 10th, 2011 at 10:09 PM ^
The big 2nd half comeback again!
October 10th, 2011 at 10:14 PM ^
CFL stats DO NOT COMPARE to NFL football! You can't compare Favre and Marino to such people!
Bad job ESPN, bad.
October 10th, 2011 at 10:18 PM ^
Sorry fellow M fans. And as far as the earlier discussion about Cutler's footwork, it is as somebody said earlier, the result of him having less than 3 seconds every time he drops back...because you know the offensive line wasn't an issue last year.
October 10th, 2011 at 10:29 PM ^
Would kiss Suzy Kolber these days.
<br>
<br>When did she turn 50?
October 10th, 2011 at 10:32 PM ^
bad call
October 10th, 2011 at 10:33 PM ^
October 10th, 2011 at 10:35 PM ^
The majority of the force went to the shoulder but the crown of his helmet did strike the side of Scheffler's helmet from what I could see. Don't know that it should be a penalty.
Touchdown Lions!
October 10th, 2011 at 10:39 PM ^
Anyone else reminded of the glory days of Scott Mitchell. In all seriousness Stafford is looking like the real deal.
October 10th, 2011 at 10:39 PM ^
How many damn lives does Cutler have?
October 10th, 2011 at 10:42 PM ^
He's playing out of his mind.
October 10th, 2011 at 10:45 PM ^
October 10th, 2011 at 10:47 PM ^
Good vision, good speed, someone missed an assignment pretty badly there.
October 10th, 2011 at 10:48 PM ^
I imagine a Picture Page DERP!
October 10th, 2011 at 10:49 PM ^
Holy crap! Best can fly when he gets into the open. Not quite Chris Johnson fast, but I be like dang!
October 10th, 2011 at 10:49 PM ^
That was the Best play of the night. :p
October 10th, 2011 at 10:49 PM ^
He ver' fast.
October 10th, 2011 at 10:49 PM ^
Schwarz' little fist pump move kinda makes me giggle, but gosh I love seeing it.
October 10th, 2011 at 11:00 PM ^
October 10th, 2011 at 11:06 PM ^
Realistically either is fine, but I think in this case Schwartz' is more proper. This is especially so because the ending "z" in schwartz is an "s" sound.

Eric Wright had great coverage right there!!! If he can just put it all together and keep his mind from wandering the way it does at times. The sky could be the limit for him. Just needs to keep up his confidence and stuff. The whole mental thing.
October 10th, 2011 at 10:58 PM ^
October 10th, 2011 at 11:05 PM ^
It might've been an end-around, but DeSean Jackson had a long one last season I believe.
October 10th, 2011 at 11:01 PM ^
see that corntoolio with the makeshift "bad news bears" sign scribbled on a piece of construction paper? He needs to take that Denard jersey off pronto.
October 10th, 2011 at 11:04 PM ^
Leave the leg down and you get roughed there!
October 10th, 2011 at 11:25 PM ^
He's getting no help whatsoever from the rest of his team with the possible exception of Forte.
October 10th, 2011 at 11:31 PM ^
I am scared the Lions are going to try and run the ball to close out the game.
EDIT: Aha ha ha ha on me.
October 10th, 2011 at 11:39 PM ^
Really wish the Lions would have taken a shot in the endzone there. Rush up the middle accomplished nothing. An incomplete pass and FG would have taken the clock past the 2 minute warning, so I am not sure why they didn't take the shot to ice the ballgame. Poor decision, IMO.
October 10th, 2011 at 11:52 PM ^
I thought the same thing. Go for the kill shot. Still, I'm not complaining too much when we get the W. :)
October 10th, 2011 at 11:48 PM ^
Wasn't the line like Lions -5 in this game?
October 11th, 2011 at 12:04 AM ^
man, looking at the Lions schedule they could easily be 10 -0 heading intot hte Packers game on Thanksgiving. That's freakin crazy. Of course the schedule gets pretty tough at that point with 5 of the last 6 teams they face being pretty good and all. But if they can at least split them that's 13-3, not too shabby.
October 11th, 2011 at 12:09 AM ^
I like the idea, but I'm not going to book it just yet. The Niners are a darned good football team this year, and Atlanta didn't roll over against the Pack either. I'm content to keep taking it one week at a time and enjoy the process.
October 11th, 2011 at 12:20 AM ^
Best really showed out tonight. These guys really look like a dangerous team. And what better way to make a statement than on MNF? The rest of the NFL...you've been warned. On a side note, who would have thought that San Fran vs Detroit would be a potential game of the week?
October 11th, 2011 at 12:37 AM ^
Could Best be developing into one of the elite backs in the league? I always thought of him as too small, a transition guy until they draft someone better, but he looked unreal tonight. Ran with authority.
October 11th, 2011 at 12:51 AM ^
Best is a multipurpose back like Faulk was in New England. He is not a 20 carry a game RB. That was why they drafted Leshoure. But he can be deadly situationally as we saw tonight.
October 11th, 2011 at 12:55 AM ^
This game showed he can run through giant holes with no linebackers in them and pick up a ton of yards when he gets to the second level completely untouched. Aside from 2 runs for 131 yds, he was 10 for 32.
Generally speaking, the Lions OL needs to do better at run blocking, IMO.
Best is fast, but he's not bulling his way to a lot of yards.
October 11th, 2011 at 10:06 AM ^
That long TD run was a great example of scheming to create space, though. If you can get the LB to run out of the hole, you don't have to block him.
October 11th, 2011 at 12:24 AM ^
5-0OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooohhhh YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!
(RIP, Macho Man)
October 11th, 2011 at 12:31 AM ^
I'm glad we play them at home but it will be a tough win, if we do win. Jim has this team playing well.
I can't wait until Michigan D-Line becomes as dominate as the Lions!
October 11th, 2011 at 12:35 AM ^
we talkin bout dem lions!
October 11th, 2011 at 1:18 AM ^
We're never losing again
October 11th, 2011 at 1:40 PM ^
I was at the game last night. You may touch me, but not below the waist unless you fall into a demographic that's rare around here. Rarely has a football game been as much of good times as when the Bears false-started three times on their first drive. My God was that crazy. Hell, the Tigers were on the screen and the place was going crazy when Cabrera and Avila turned the double play to end the ninth and that was a solid hour before kickoff. I couldn't hear Michael Buffer at all. All offseason last year I'd been toying with the idea of getting season tickets and when this game was announced, that pushed me over the edge. The game and atmosphere did not disappoint. Everyone went nuts for the anthem, Michael Buffer, the MNF crew, Barry, Nick Fairley's debut, every false start penalty, every big play, the clock ticking down.....man. Anyone who says Boston and Dallas and Chicago or what the hell ever is the best sports town in the country has not been to Detroit. It's true what they say: ain't no party like a Detroit party.

beat up on the Bears (I live in Chicago) last night............
