Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+ The Official 2010 Detroit Lions Season Thread, 3 wins in a row!...5-10

[ronaldinho0003]

Lions dropped a tough game in the Meadowlands this weekend, 28-20. Shaun Hill left the game with a broken arm late in the second quarter and Drew Stanton had to come in. I think he played pretty well for being a third-string. Our penalties are absolutely killing us though, if we can cut down on those, and other dumb mistakes (Burleson's fumble) we can get over the hump. They had a chance to tie the game on two late 4th quarter drives, but both were ended by turnovers (Burleson fumble and Stanton INT). This drops the Lions to 1-5 on the season, giving them a much-needed week off.

Great game by Stafford in his comeback! 4 touchdowns.

[ronaldinho0003]

Matthew Stafford's return proved to be a huge lift for the Lions. Stafford turned his game up a notch and threw for 4 TD's, 3 of which were to Calvin Johnson. The Lions defensive line was relentless all game, and it certainly payed off in the end. The Redskins brought in former Bears QB, Rex Grossman, when the Lions had just gone up by 8, late in the 4th quarter. It only took one play for the Lions to welcome him to the game. Pressure from VandenBosch and Avril created a fumble, which was then picked up by Ndamukong Suh and returned for a TD. The Lions looked pretty good all-around today. Our running game could use a little bit more balance between Best and Smith, but other than that we played great. The Lions move to 2-5 on the year (T-3rd) in the NFC North. The Redskins drop to 4-4 on the season. Next Sunday is home vs the Jets on CBS. If the Lions can somehow find a way to win that game, we would then travel to Buffalo and Dallas, which would provide a great possibility for two victories. If we pull off those wins, we would be staring 5-5 right in the face, and possibily a chance at a playoff spot.

Both offense and defense played well for Detroit Sunday. This is starting to look good. With the Vikings and Bears looking terrible and so-so, hopefully the Lions can compete with the Packers and take a playoff spot for the first time since 1753.

Big game today! This game lets the world know if we are big time or not. I actually was going to try and get tickets to this game with my Uncle, but he had a work trip he had to go on, so we figured we'd hold off until later in the season. The Jets travel into Detroit today to meet the Lions and a sold-out Ford Field. Expect to see nothing less than a great game. CBS @ 1PM EST.

Jets- 10 Lions- 7 at half. Our defense is playing pretty well, except for the big play to Braylon Edwards. Our offense looked stellar on the first drive, but hasn't been too great since. Hopefully we can come out re-charged in the 2nd half.

[ronaldinho0003]

Touchdown Burleson! Lions 20-10, 4th quarter.

[yilduz]

I'm getting more and more excited as this game goes on! They're playing very well and I've been extremely pleased with them.

[yilduz]

I really hope Stafford isn't badly injured.

[ronaldinho0003]

Stafford injured. Jets just kicked a FG to tie it up 20-20 as time expired. The Lions get the ball to start OT.

[19th Century Indiana Jones]

Lions should have smashed the Jets. The Jets offense is still WAY out of sync.

[ronaldinho0003]

A 51 yard strike to Holmes put the Jets in field goal range. Easy kick for Folk and the game is over.

NYJ- 23 Lions- 20.

Stafford...done. NFC North hopes...done. Season...done.

Hugely, HUGELY disappointing.

Hugely, HUGELY disappointing.

Sorry Dennis, I thought they were going to win this one for you....

[ronaldinho0003]

Hugely, HUGELY disappointing.

If we would of ran the ball on 3rd down on our final drive, we would've knocked off 40 more seconds. Petersons 15 yard penalty to put them in field goal range for the tie was a dagger to the heart.

Yes. Thanks for your input.
