BTW remember this game in the future if one of Campbell's aggressive calls comes back to bite us and people in turn bash him for it, his aggressiveness probably won us this game.

Four games already today won by a last second field goal. I wonder what the record is for one day/week.

It wasn't pretty, but it doesn't need to be.

Yeah that was shades of last year's GB game at Lambeau

Maybe just because I was sitting ten seats down from the seat at the bar I was in for that game, but this reminded me of the Jets game from last year.

Wasn’t pretty but they found a way.

Dan Miller’s radio call of the winning kick 

Expand  

That was probably painstaking listening to it live if you werent watching since the crowd was like 50/50, normally when you hear the cheers you know by that what the outcome is but in this case you couldn't tell if the cheers were because he made it or missed it until Dan makes the call.

The play calling, outside the red zone, was poetic. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Time for the Bears. Take care of business at home.

[Motor City Sonics]

When was the last time the Lions were 7-2 ? 

 

they got the win.    Now, no let down vs. the Bears.   The fact that the Vikings look for real means there are no let-ups here.   

 

Interesting.  It was a push.     The oddsmakers aren't trying to predict the score, they're trying to get enough people to bet on an underdog and they NAILED it today.

I mean, sure we won a shootout on the road, but this team is terrible and needs to fire cut everyone and fire every coach and front office person, then forcibly remove the team from Sheila. After that... I'm not sure.

I think his post was painted on thick with sarcasm given that it directly proceeded TP's.

Well... the last time Glenn's defense was embarrassed like this, they came out the following week and stomped the opposing team into the dirt. So who knows.

I hope they murder the f***ing Bears

I have to say the happy calls by Detroit PBP guys named Dan are quite great.   We might need to rename Jason Benetti.

And Seattle’s FG unit just made it 5.

Good win today. Damn good win.

Defense can’t suck this hard on a regular basis, but they probably won’t.

I went back and replaced that clip with the same call without the popping noise. 
 

And here is the tail end of the call of Brock Wright’s TD that had given the Lions a 38-31 lead. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Say what you will about Patterson (I know I say a lot) but he is money from short range.

In my dream of him trotting out for a game winning kick in the NFC title game, I think he’s money. Pressure won’t get to him.

7-2 headed into the 2 game home stretch with the Bears and Packers looks mighty tasty. It would be nice if a team, any team, learned how to play against the Vikings and knocked them down a peck.

Campbell and Johnson are a better coaching duo than Jim Caldwell and Joe Lombardi.

He's a top 5 receiver in the league when you take into account his overall play as a blocker also and his uncanny ability to come up with the big catch so often and the dawg mentality. He might not get you the 70 yard TD in the air like a Hill, Diggs or Chase which is why those guys are the elite of the elite but I don't know who in that 2nd tier I'd take over him.

I do remember 6-2 when Big Bad Shaun Rogers returned the INT for a TD against Denver. Then I also remembered when, I believe, they went 1-7 the rest of the way.
