Detroit Lions 2011

[Simon Bar Sinister]

the NFL owners have approved the new deal:

...and once the players ratify it (by all accounts, the players kicked the owners' asses in the negotiations), football season is back on!

YAY (says the lone football fan on DGN)

[Simon Bar Sinister]

I think they're gonna shock a lot of people this year.

[Simon Bar Sinister]

the Lions-Bears game on Monday Night Football in early October sold out in less than an hour.

[Simon Bar Sinister]

always nice to steal a victory in a road game against a better team. :D

...although coach Schwartz was pretty pissed at some of what he saw...you would've thought the Lions lost to hear him at the post-game press conference.

[Simon Bar Sinister]

a pretty hard-fought first half becomes a laugher in the 2nd.

Lions 48, Chiefs 3

[Slogo]

That...was...brutal

[prick]

The team is looking so incredibly good. Its hard to believe that those are the Detroit Lions Im watching.

[Simon Bar Sinister]

did not like the way the Chiefs RBs ran at will going to the outside in the 1st half. At all.

still...coach Schwartz is damn good at making the adjustments.

[prick]

I would still like to see our running game improve.

[prick]

3-0 start. not too shabby guys.

[Simon Bar Sinister]

not at all :D ...even if yet another team ran all over the Lions in the 1st half. always take the win. I hope they just thrash the Cowboys next week.

Backus better straighten his ass out - he's no rookie, and he should know better than that.

[Simon Bar Sinister]

[Slogo]

Fuck yeah!

[phee]

Wow... just wow.

[eatdirt426]

wow they are doing amazing this year.

[prick]

They got to stop letting their asses get kicked in the first half but other then that they look amazing!

[Simon Bar Sinister]

Next Monday could be truly insane - not only are the Lions hosting the Bears on Monday Night Football, but, if the Tigers and Rangers each win their 1st-round playoff series today, Game 3 of the American League Championship Series might be taking place at Comerica Park at the same time.

...anyone going bar-hopping in downtown next Monday?

Its awesome that they are doing good but it means one of two things, they fall apart half way through the season, or they win the superbowl and bring a zombie Armageddon.

[Simon Bar Sinister]

[Simon Bar Sinister]

oh, well...guess they had to lose one sometime.

punishing defensive battle, just the way I like football to be played.

...Lions' special teams still pretty much suck, especially the kicking coverage. :(

[prick]

Well when you consider last years last four and pre season they gave us 13 straight wins.

[Simon Bar Sinister]

This is the one chance the Lions could beat Green Bay.
