OT: Lions/NFL Open Thread
Open game day thread for Lions/Packers.
as usual, the Lions start the game with a penalty - holding on the opening kickoff and then proceed to go three and out... Go Lions...
[FA Edit: As per usual, ALL NFL talk goes here. Also, remember, sport tags when creating threads: this is NOT football. Please file pro sports under "other."]

We should just run Stanton every play he's in. Only thing he's competent at.
December 12th, 2010 at 2:06 PM ^
I think thats the new plan, run him till he get hurt, that way they can justify putting Robinson in.
December 12th, 2010 at 2:08 PM ^
I don't want to see Stanton get hurt but can Robinson do any worse?
December 12th, 2010 at 2:10 PM ^
I remember Robinson being pretty good in college. He has to be a better passer.
December 12th, 2010 at 2:03 PM ^

Battle of Flynn vs Stanton...
0 - 0 at the half.
Secon half to be just as boring.
December 12th, 2010 at 2:23 PM ^
I understand why people are booing. Watching the Lions will do that to you. But do you really want Stanton chucking the ball downfield trying to make something happen, given what we've seen so far this afternoon?
December 12th, 2010 at 2:25 PM ^
now that Flynn is in. The question is who will suck the least in the 2nd half, if they do suck the least, they will win the game.
I forsee a 3-0 game. Good thing the Lions have Stefan Logan but the Packers are deathly afraid of him by kicking the ball away from him.
December 12th, 2010 at 2:41 PM ^
Homer Simpson - "Yeah Moe, that team sure did suck last night. They just plain sucked! I've seen teams suck before, but they were the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked. (Homer, watch your mouth!) Uh, I gotta go, my damn weiner kids are listening."
December 12th, 2010 at 2:35 PM ^
Bradshaw just said Stanton is a young rookie out of MSU. He sure looks like it, too bad this is his 4th year
December 12th, 2010 at 2:38 PM ^

December 12th, 2010 at 2:47 PM ^

that's at least 6 penalties on the Lions today...
December 12th, 2010 at 2:51 PM ^
Johnson was moving his hands a little bit on the cart. Wow, that was a pretty scary hit.
December 12th, 2010 at 2:51 PM ^
Wow, that video they showed at halftime of the metrodome's roof collapsing was amazing. Oh, they just put it up on youtube Amazing no one was hurt, but I would have been extremely freaked out if I was in the building.
December 12th, 2010 at 2:51 PM ^
No third down conversions today.
Packers get first points of game on a field goal.
December 12th, 2010 at 2:52 PM ^
How long are the Lions going to let Flynn throw easy 5 yard passes? Force him to throw downfield.
December 12th, 2010 at 2:54 PM ^
Logan returns kick off to the Lions 37.
December 12th, 2010 at 2:54 PM ^
My dogs name is Charles Woodson. He loves Packers games.
/Lions are cursed
December 12th, 2010 at 2:55 PM ^
Woodson flagged for illegal contact on CJ.
December 12th, 2010 at 2:58 PM ^
Staton to Tacopants on 3rd and 5.
Stanton 3-11 today.
Lions punt to Pack.
December 12th, 2010 at 2:59 PM ^
There is a 110% chance that had the roles been reversed the Lions would've gotten a pass interference and a roughing the passer on that 2nd down play.
Although this game has been pretty well-officiated, there's always a few plays that show the calls just don't go both ways for the Lions.
December 12th, 2010 at 3:02 PM ^
Schwartz needs to make like Rich Rod and put Robinson in for #5
December 12th, 2010 at 3:03 PM ^
1st 3rd down conversion for either team today.
December 12th, 2010 at 3:04 PM ^
Outside of a blizzard or a monsson, I never thought I'd see the day where a 3-0 lead looked so insurmountable.
December 12th, 2010 at 3:07 PM ^
About to be 10-0, maybe 6-0
December 12th, 2010 at 3:09 PM ^
Not so fast my friend.

I'm the UM-Purdue game. I've returned from hell to haunt your dreams and redifine unwatchable football.

December 12th, 2010 at 3:17 PM ^
didn't get called for a personal foul on the drive
December 12th, 2010 at 3:15 PM ^
That FG attempt came down closer to the Ren Cen than it did the uprights.
December 12th, 2010 at 3:16 PM ^
former msu players sucking it up for the Lions. Stanton, Rayner, Peterson (and c rogers).
