How bout them Lions?

[walleyechaser]

Yesterdays game was better than expected I guess.  The defense held Seattle to only 3 field goals.
But the offense looked very much the same as previous years.  What a farce this team is.
Where are the supposed all star receivers?  Jon Kitna looks no better than Joey.  I'm predicting a 3-13 season.

dont put stock in anything you see in week 1 alot of bad teams looked good, alot of good teams looked bad, wait until week 2 or 3 we will see what everyone is going to be made of although its still impressive to hold alexander under 100 yards and no TD's for the seattle O, its only week 1, but hey, if your a lions fan pretty good

I am a Lions fan and I'm ready to see them win a few games.  I was very impressed with their D yesterday.
But the offense just didn't show up.  Kevin Jones is a bright spot.  He looks like a powerful elusive runner.  I wish the Lions would get out of that stupid 3 RB rotation.  Put Jones in and leave him in.

GB now there is a joke of a team.  What happened?  Favre is now officially a "has been"

like i said, its just week 1, although that is the first shut out at home in favres history but we all know brett is a better QB than that, it looked more like he had young or inexperienced receivers than he did bad, most of his throws were so far off,it had to be a miscommunication on the routes? i doubt green bay will win much this year, but i cant put it all on the old man, i think, as hard as it is to say, that brett needs a new atmosphere, hes a green bay icon, but if he stays, everyone is going to say hes a has been

Driver is a veteran receiver.  He was hardly even involved with that game. 

Maybe the Lions will pick up Favre.  They have a way of ruining QB's.  I do like Marinelli's philosophy of a good hard running game.  This west coast offense crap the Lions have been trying to pull off is a joke.  I'm glad someone finally realized that with this team.

i think if a team is smart they will take him if they have a young QB that needs a little grooming

I'll be at Lambeau Dec 17th when GB crushes the Lions...It'll be fun...I just hope Farve is still the QB...(for GB)

I watched some of the game. I was impressed with the D. I just dont think theyll continue to preform at that level. Its just soo hard for me root for that team cause they let me down every time.

[walleyechaser]

I was hoping our buddy Drew Sharp would have a good write up on the game. 
But he didn't.  He's usually pretty good at voicing the fans' frustrations with the team.

This guy's articles are always 100% right on.  The D looked great.  Kitna looked marginally better than JH.  Anyhow, I'm excited to see what happens in Chi-Town.

I disagree about Kevin Jones not having breakaway ability.

Did you see how that guy made people miss him?  He is the only bright spot on the entire offensive side of the ball.  If they would get rid of that stupid 3 RB rotation and let him play I think he has great potential.

[SleePac]

Walleye chaser - yeah, I can't stand that goofy rotation deal.  KJ is getting hosed by not getting more downs.  Let him carry it....just not on 3rd down and 12 to go!  That stupid mentality has gotta go.

[walleyechaser]

They managed to drop that west coast offense crap.  Now if they would just get their running game together.
The D looked really good.  I think they had 5 sacks in that game.  Starting to look like the prime days of Porcher in there again.
