Lions vs Vikings Week 2 Game Thread

[jammertime]

The Lions have been moving the ball well so far but haven't been able to score yet.

0-0 after 1 Q.

[jammertime]

2 mistakes so far by the Lions' coaching staff.

#1 - Martz calling a naked bootleg of Kitna on 3 and 1 from the big package.

#2 - Marenelli not challenging the 3rd down catch that clearly hit the ground first. The Vikings then hurried to the line and spiked the ball (knowing that the play would have been reversed). Then a bout a minute later (and far too late), Marenelli finally decided to throw the challenge flag.

....and now Jon Kitna is out of the game with an injury.

Following this on gamecast. Lions' rushing numbers are dismal -- as usual. It must be the Curse of Barry Sanders.

Kitna got punched out. But O'Sullivan is moving the ball.
17-7 Cats

[jammertime]

O'Sullivan is trying to do too much and is getting burned for it. 2 INTs and a fumble returned for a TD.

DeWayne White is a BEAST. What a pick-up he has been. The defensive player of the week last week and has been making plays and getting pressure again this week.

All I'm getting is hilites. I had Minnys D but gave it up for Colts.
Roy W fumbled, now we are trying too hard and shooting ourselves in the foot.

damn...Roy turned it over inside the Vikes 20

[jammertime]

Kitna comes back in, starts moving the chains and Roy turns it over on a fumble.

The FIFTH turnover for the Lions in the game.

Hopefully we can hold them and get the ball back for the offense.
