Adrian Peterson -- 18 carries for 23 yards............oh yeah, forgot the 1 carry for 75 yards.

I'm done even arguing -- I'm about to join you on the Dolphins bandwagon. I've pretty much given up on the Lions.

The teeter has toodered... After the bye week there will be no more excuses of the Lions playing the extra game.

 

[TrustMeIamRight]

Still not worried. Detroit looked dominant this week in practice. Just a matter of time before it carries over to the field.

Lions bye week rush D should be solid at least.

Such a good question I had to supply my free Fantrax stats services.

Woodhead 2nd highest
AP yes
Hillman & CJ both to held to lowest season totals.
Rawls. No he had the lowest as a starter.
Forte second lowest total and worst YPC
Chris Johnson. 4th best
Chanderick West second best as starter with only two starts.

Does this take away the :futurestinkeye: ?

No!

You forgot Alex Smith. And didn't add that it was also Woodheads season high in carries and his only two rushing TDs.

But the effort was solid.

: stinkeye : delayed until further notice.

I read today that a QB does not count. Nor do jet sweeps, did Woodhead run any of those?

To bad Don Kelly wasn't playing second for the Mets. Maybe that error doesn't happen.

 

[LionsWhyMe]

Whatever. I look like a dick. I'm fine with it.

Be careful what you wish for...

I haven't read that anywhere.

Until just now.

Don Kelly woulda pinch hit for YC. The rest woulda been history.

Is that a combo pic of TP's two favorite things in the world or do my eyes deceive me?

In the Lions defense -- only 1 rushing TD is by a running back. Smith has 78 yards rushing on broken pass plays and 1 td and another is on a jet sweep to a WR for 10 yards.

While 14 carries for 59 yards isn't shutting a teams RB down -- it isn't completely terrible.

Ask and...well, you know.

Like a Minotaur or a Griffin, only much different.

 

[broncosmitty]

I did ask for "in the Lions defense".....

But I never have asked for it, and always have got it round these parts.

The more things change, the moar they stay the same.
