  • That was just about the worst quarter of professional football I've ever seen.

    Oh and Lovie: TAKE THE FREAKING 3 POINTS!

    • That one drive before the 4th down attempt was ridiculous. That was an unfathomable number of penalties.

      • 3 carries in the first half? Why the hell do the Lions not use Jahvid Best?

        • Rabbits need 15 more points from Cutler and Megatron for his first win.

          • THANK YOU JAHVID BEST!!!

            Second longest run in the history of the Detroit Lions. 88 yard TD run!

            Looks like he may have his first 100 yard rushing game

            • Hey Guy, you said you don't get the appeal of Jahvid Best?

              This game against the Chicago Bears defense shows you just what potential Best has. Physically, he is no different than Chris Johnson or Jamaal Charles.

              • Chicago had the ball twice the time that Detroit had it. That's amazing to me.

                • The Lions defensive line is very reminiscent of the Strahan-Tuck-Umenyiora-Kiwanuka Giants rotation from 2007. They keep rotating guys keeping them fresh and they're just so overpowering it doesn't matter what happens in the secondary because the QB is either getting destroyed, running for his life, or checking it down.

                  Those Giants showed you can ride an elite defensive line to the Super Bowl. Let's see what the Lions can do with it.

                  • Wow. 5-0... Lions have won 9 straight (counting last season). Simply amazing. Best start since the 50's.

                    • I can't believe the 49ers are 4-1; don't they have the same team they had last year?

                        • Sorry, I still don't believe in Lions. They beat a lousy Bears team whose O-line can't block, they got a call from refs that I'm still wondering first, how they can challenge that and second where the tip was, and they have played teams that played stupidly. And, JR, Bears should have kicked FG or at least tried a QB sneak. It was only a foot to go. However, Pack are the real deal.

                          Bears need to get rid of GM and whole coaching staff, except for ST coach. But I doubt it will happen.

                              • Let me say it again, I've been pointing out that the Lions were going to be good for 3 years now. Don't believe in them? They have a rising star at QB, an excellent RB, the premier WR in the NFL currently and monsters on the DL.

                                I see your point.
