that REALLY sucks man. i'm sorry to see that.

Lions suffering two injuries and not even out of first quarter (Rogers & Bly).

These are the type of things that happen during a game that make Lions getting 3 all of a sudden not look so good . . .

September 12, 2004 - Detroit Lions vs. Chicago Bears
 

Here it is! The gamethread for Bears and Lions fans alike to discuss the season opener!

then it was me and dark star while you were out playing bumper cars.
(i bet she'd have quit laughing in the case of a collision.)

From what I recall of that area (and granted, it's been years since I lived in Wisconsin--and my travels were usually limited to Sussex to the 'port, commuter flight to the north, commuter flight to the south, 'port to Sussex), that whole Brookfield area was one giant wreck waiting to happen--especially that road that led off the highway. Very poor road planning in that area.

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WTF!!!

This is where sports investing can lead to an early grave.

Side note, Larry Fitzgerald just made an awesome fingertip catch on his tiptoes. Cards are putting up a fight in their game.

They are saying its the shoulder they are x-raying. He broke his collarbone last year. No updates yet

What a weird game...


Injuries galore and our best offensive player is Bracy Walker.

don't miss a good game worrying. lions are getting hot.

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME?

Bly has to be the key to our defense this year.....

This sucks!!!

i found the lions fans. they're over on the lion board. i guess they didn't see the game thread.
oh well.

beardown;

These Lions fans are just so stupid...they are actually funny. When was the last time a team made a significant improvement (in win/loss record wise) just because they drafted "two college playmakers."

Man...the look on their faces will be priceless when Jones/Williams FAILED to live up to expectations in the rookie seasons.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm not sure what is funnier about this post (that i stole from the ESPN board). If its that this guy thinks two rookies CANT make a differance, or if its funnier that he thinks that is all the Lions did to improve this offseason was add 2 playmakers in the draft.
For starters, we did get the best lineman available in FA. One that was also coveted by the Bears.

second, we went out and got the best "cover corner" in FA to go with one of the best "playmaking" corners in the league last year.

third, we shored up an already impressive defensive backfield by signing a probowl safety.

This of course doesnt even take into account the other little additions that will make this team a WHOLE lot better, and deeper.

So, I suppose that if i had to answer the question of " When was the last time a team made a significant improvement (in win/loss record wise) just because they drafted "two college playmakers." I would answer probably never. however, that wouldnt describe the Lions because they did do a hell of alot more to improve than just add 2 playmakers through the draft.


DOHHHHHHH

Why not go for two there? If they miss it, the Lion is still up by 5 and still within a fg of taking the lead should the Bear score a td.

If they convert the two, they have a 7 point lead.


hMMMMM
