Detroit Lions

Haha I hear yah, I hope the Jags 1st team offense doesn't play like they have during the preseason.

I actually have been so busy, that i havent watched a preseason game yet. With that said, my friend (JRwakebord) just got tickets to the Pats/Giants game on Thursday. Im thinking about going, but since its the last preseason game, none of the starters will play. It still will be fun though.

I thought the starters would play for the majority of the last preseason game? At least, they've been getting more playing time as the preseason drags on..

No, the 4th game is the final judgement game for the 2nd/3rd stringers to fight for their jobs. MOST Teams have a majority of their starters on the 3rd game, and the 4th preseason game they let them play a few drives and let the backups go at it as they prepare for the regular season to start.

Yea, preseason games are mainly for 3rd string players trying to earn a roster spot.

Yea, they dont want to see any of their stars actually get hurt

Dammit! Now I'm getting excited about this year. I hate working Sundays. I get to actually watch maybe 3 or 4 games during the season. The rest I end up listening to on the radio or checking the scores online.

scratch me going to the game. Me and JR are just going into Btown to drink and watch the game instead

Yup, i'm stuck working Sundays for a couple months now too. I'm on the verge of quiting my job!

Dude, I don't even have cable, let alone recordable TV. Aside from Steelers games (when I get the chance) and the news, I don't watch much network television. I'm all about the DVDs.

Sooner or later we're gonna have to start a straight NFL forum, but I know how much everyone likes the Lions so....

Eh, this forum is fine. There aren't that many people here that are in tune with sports.

Why do you like the Lions so much?

Yeah honestly. The Lions are one of the worst teams since Barry left.. You mentioned you lived in Fla? Why not root for a team that's actually worth rooting for... honestly?

First off whats there not to like about the Lions. I have been a Lions fan my entire life, I recently moved to Florida in the past couple months and can't ever see myself rooting for one these teams. 4 Life! Lions go all the way I will have a Superbowl ticket.

Actually the lions have a decent recieving core. They are rebuilding the team for the past few years. All those rookies back then are now getting alot better. Good things will come from them soon. Them and Arizona haha

For those of you who seen that dominating performance by the Lions got a treat! Thats a little preview of the Super Bowl... Jon Kitna pickin apart defenses like it's goin out of style.

lol they were up 17-0, I was like hey they're going to win a game, even if its against the Radiers. Then they were only up 23-20 or something, and I figured they'ed lose but sure enough they held on. Would have watch the game, only had more important things to tend to.
