Detriot has to learn how to play with lead (21-0) and never let up keep the foot on the gas just like GB

Detroit will win this one but it may not be pretty.same story lots of flags thrown on both sides lions win 38-24

last game offence to predictable after lead all they did was try to run the clock down , bad move.

Titus young needs to use his head in this game too.

We need an RB to stand out in this game and get the ball to CJ more.

McClain called the 46-16 loss at Green Bay on Sunday “embarrassing.” It followed a 34-14 loss at Miami the previous week as the Raiders have fallen behind 34-0 the past two games.
Oakland is the first team to fall that far behind in successive weeks since the 1984 Buffalo Bills, according to STATS LLC.

The team has also committed 21 penalties in the losses, increasing Oakland’s league-worst total to 130 — a record-setting pace. and we thought the lions were bad,actually their right behind them.

I hereby dub this game "Bad meets Evil"

Oakland is Royce da 5'9", Detroit is Eminem. In the end, Eminem will come out on top, 31-20.

This game is bound to take forever to play with all the penalties and incompletions.

Raiders are dangerous but I think they peaked already and they have so many injuries on offense. Detroit must jump ahead early and force Carson Palmer to throw, because Michael Bush will kill 'em.

I'm anxious as to how Suh will blend back in too.

Mike Bush is going to run through us all day, but Palmer and those receivers don't scare me. Stafford should have a nice day

is alphonso smith starting?

He is our best DB right now lions will find a spot for him they need his INT's

Cornerback Eric Wright (hamstring) and outside linebacker Justin Durant (hamstring) participated in position drills and are questionable.
Wright, though, was limping noticeably afterward.
"I am always hopeful," Wright said. "We have a couple more days. We will see how it goes."
Safety Louis Delmas was back for the first time since sustaining a Grade 2 MCL tear against Green Bay. He wasn't moving very well and did not participate in position drills.
The availability of Wright, Durant and Delmas will be determined before the game.
Defensive end Willie Young (ankle) and defensive tackle Nick Fairley (foot) also will be game-time decisions. Both worked on the side with a trainer and are questionable

8-9 in the box, dare Palmer and his "blah" WRs to beat us?

lions need to find a running game in the second half,also run more screens.

take Houston out and put in Smith get an INT.

Chis Houston sucked this game.

now after houston gives up 3 passes and 30 yards they finally put in Smith Duh....it's about time!

SUHHHHHHHHHHHHH Block !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he would have hit that field goal if it was not blocked

The other posters talk more about the draft then the game ? go figure.

That was a nice vertical and a clutch play. And if it wasn't blocked that ball was going to bounce off the crossbar and then come back down and hit the crossbar a second time before it would have decided which way to go.

Stafford was really erratic today.

Houston and Wright were both pretty bad. Wright seems to be having a hard time staying next to his guy, and Houston's missed tackle (attempt?) on the Heyward-Bey TD was laughable-at-best.

Tulloch did well, Durant wasok. Levy was nearly non-existant.

We got lucky today, but I'll take the W

Just got done watching. Incredible performance by Calvin. I thought Stafford settled in nicely. Strong game from Burleson. Another good game from Raiola. Defense was okay, but Houston was not 100% for sure. I thought the Oakland line did a great job. Love that Suh got the block on that FG and I suspect it had a good chance at being good without the block.

One more win and it's playoffs baby! Of course that will mean a date with the 49ers but I'll happily take it. Have to win next week to make it easy, because a loss would mean the winner of the SEA/ARI game could tie the Lions on the final Sunday if the Lions should lose, and both teams will own a tiebreaker over the Lions.
