The quarter starts with Stafford throwing the ball away on 3rd down, forcing a punt.
Shit.
The rest of the weekend is going to suck. I can hear the haters and bandwagoners now. "Take Thanksgiving away from Detroit!" Honestly, I hate hearing fans from other teams piss all over our game.
What's my response?
Fuck you! I watch this crap for 16 weeks a year. The rest of you can deal with one lousy nationally televised game a year. IT'S ONE GAME, PEOPLE. FUCKING DEAL WITH IT.
Try to take our game away, I'm doing the following...
I feel better. Not much, but better.
We rejoin the game after my rant, and see the Lions in a no-huddle. Stafford throws on the run...to an open Northcutt...who actually HOLDS ON TO THE BALL... and is all the way to the Packer 12 yard line!
1st and goal, draw play to Smith is down to the 1...but Smith is knocked silly on the play. Hell, what's another injury at this point?
Stafford's 2nd down pass bounces off Megatron's hands. 3rd and goal. Stafford to Northcutt is broken up. 4th and goal. Lions will go for it.
The Lions will throw AGAIN. Stafford in the gun...BLITZ...has to unload...and throws 5 yards out the back of the end zone. You knew it was going to be incomplete the moment it left his hands.
Lions turn the ball over on downs. When will the Lions ever win a Turkey Day game again?
Yep, when pigs fly.
The Pack try to run the ball out of the end zone...wide? Delmas is all over Grant...SAFETY! Wait, ball is loose! Dizon falls on the ball! Touchdown Lions!
Packers will challenge the call, saying Grant was down in the end zone, trying to negate 4 of the points. Replays confirm it. Refs will overturn the TD...which they do. Only 2 points for Detroit. 27-9 Packers.
Northcutt takes the Packer punt over the 50. Lions have excellent field position. Hey, it's a start.
Stafford is knocked out of bounds rolling out, and you can see Stafford's hurting. The pain killers must be wearing off. He's no longer bouncing right back up after getting hit.
4th and long, Stafford hits Heller crossing the middle! 1st down! 11 more on a pass to Morris. Lions at the Packers 19.
3td and 5, Stafford to Morris to another 1st down! 1st and goal.
Handoff to Smith...he dances instead of runs, no gain. Shit.
Stafford is pressured, scrambles for 5 yards on 2nd down. 3rd and goal from the 3. Incomplete pass to Smith on 3rd down, as he wants interference. Not gonna happen. So the Lions take the chip shot Hanson FG instead of going for it. It's good.
27-12 Packers, and it's a 2 score game. Meh. There's only 5:05 left.
The Pack to run clock, but the Lions force a 3 and out, burning up their time outs in the process. Lions get the ball back!
Stafford to throw...pick...touchdown Packers. Just like that.
Woodson jumped the route, as Stafford wanted to get the ball to Megatron. That's INT number 4 for Stafford and the Stooges.
34-12 Cheeseheads.
That's going to be the game, though there's a little time left.
Lions are tyring to move the ball...Heller gets a 1st down...huh? Mike McCarthy throws the red flag. Fumble? That's what the replays say. Shit, this going to be overturned.
Fuck.
Game over.
Hell, it's been over for about a quarter. Time to get going on the holiday as the clock FINALLY hits 0:00.
It's 10 days before the next Lions game. I think we could use a break. Losing takes a toll on every fan.
Time to put the game behind us for the time being, and enjoy the rest of the day...what's left of it, anyway.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Lets eat!
