That was a nice one.

Losing Mikel LeShoure in the offseason is starting to bite Detroit in the ass.

Seeing the lasting effects of the 49ers game too. Both Atlanta and Detroit running that wham running play.. just doesn't seem to work as well without the Inconvenient Truth.

Did you see the Falcons guy drop the Interception in the endzone? Stafford is one lucky dude.

I can't believe this game is blocked out on Direct TV. How is that possible when the Broncos vs Dolphins and Seahawks vs Browns are both showing?

Yep, it was Grimes, their pro-bowl corner (and the one I wanted in the off-season). He semi-made up for it by out-jumping CJ in one-on-one. Kid is only 5'10" but his vertical is amazing.

Does Direct TV have to block out games for blackout rules too?

One, if you live in the home market (or a market) that is showing this game on network TV, then you will (should) find the game on the local FOX affiliate.

Yes, absolutely. The NFL ticket does not override blackouts; however, this game is in Detroit and is likely a sell-out.

I'm not really sure. I've only had it 2 weeks now, but it's telling me it's blocked out.

Ha you're right thx.Strange how that works.

Uh Oh, Ryan grabbing his knee

Oh my god, that is so ugly on the replay, it looks like he gets his ankle kicked in half

 

[numone9er]

Oh shit is Ryan hurt??

 

[numone9er]

I've always liked Chris Redman, though...he may get a chance here to prove what he's got.

 

[threelittleturds]

He must be OK, they said he walked off on his own.

i've had the ticket for almost 10 years now and i have watched every game i have chosen to watch every sunday.

I don't know about lucky. Young ran a completely different route than Stafford thought he was running. Stafford was going for the fade and Young ran a come back.

np - enjoy!

That was one of the best PDs I've ever seen a DB make.

Oh, I just meant in the sense that it pretty much ended up as a pass to Grimes and he dropped it. Just like when he pretty much threw it right to Aldon Smith last week and he dropped it too. Definitely not lucky that he and the WR weren't on the same page.
