Lions vs Bears Week 4 Game Thread

[detteam]

Sounds like there's more Bear fans than Lion fans at Ford.

That's normal. I remember going to games in Pontiac and the stadium would be half Bears fans. It was really depressing when the Lions would be down because you had to watch them flounder and get heckled by the guy and his family one row down.

They better overturn this. He picked the ball with his feet in the end zone and they blew the play dead.

I stole this from Yahoo.
They take the lead then give up the Return TD...nuts.

Going to Pontiac is depressing.

Seems like there were more Wolverine fans in Illinois yesterday than Northwestern fans, so it equals out when the cities are that close together.

How bout them 3-1 Lions?? Set NFL record by scoring 34 points in the 4th quarter. This game was not really won until deep into the 4th on that on side kick TD by the Lions Fitzsimmons.

Kitna went 20-24 and 247 yards but still need to get that ground game running and shore up that secondary.

The Lions frontline defense did force some fumbles, hurries, sacks and INTs so there is a possibility that the Lions could finish over .500...and maybe get those 10 wins???

Griese threw for 286 yards and I am not sure if Grossman would not have done that well so Lovie should probably stick with him. When is the last time the Superbowl loser made the playoffs??

Wow, I just got home from work and saw that the Lions won!

Just looking at the box score and some things stood out:

- 34 fourth Q points by the Lions?!?

- Casey Fitsimmons kickoff return for a TD?!?!?!?!?!?!?! (that's more than Eddie Drummond had all last season by the way)

- DeVries had a MONSTER game with 5 tackles, 3 sacks and 2 FFs

- Roy Williams with yet another turnover, keeping him right on his average of 1 per game this season.

I wasn't even able to record the game because it wasn't on satellite in my area, and I know that the box scores can be deceiving. What did I miss?

How about that 3-1.

I am debating on whether to go to the Skins/Lions game next week even if I do get free tickets.

Redskins fans can be annoying as hell, can I get an Amen D4E and Armygirl? On second thought, if the tickets come through, I`ll be there.

I would love for them to beat the Skins, however, I don`t see it happening.

[detteam]

Fitsimmons return was of an onside kick with less than a minute to go just after the Bears scored a TD to make it 30-27.

The last 2-3 minutes of the game seemed like it took a half hour. They reviewed EVERYTHING.

One thing that really stands out thus far about this Lions team; they would be 0-4 or 1-3 in past seasons, at this point.


They are actually winning games they usually lose!
