Terrible play by the offense, O-line has not jelled yet, Penalties killed us espcially those few ghost penalties.
The Lions hang on to win 17-3 and are the only team to win a game in the North and actually are at top of the divsion. Both defenses did play well. Green Bay just came out and committed more mistakes. Detroit is easily the more disapline team. If GB can get it going on offense they'll contend especially in their defense plays as well as it did actually. Of course if Joey Harrington plays this well Detroit will win the North and go deep in the playoffs. A Bold statement but a FACT!

Enjoy it while it lasts. Harrington is now 3-0 in openers. And we all know how the Lions have done since then...
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (MysteryMan)</div><div class='quotemain'>Woo 1-0!!!! were zackman and i the only ones tht believed in the Lions!?!</div> I picked the Lions this week. Congrats to the Zackman and any other Lions' fans that are reading.

Oh my God I'm tripping off of the lackluster performance by the Packers in Detroit. Favre threw 2 INT's to that defense? 27 of 44 against the worst team in the division? What happened? Brett, hang 'em up Pal... The game has passed you by. There's nothing left for you to prove. You brought life to a lifeless city that to this day still has nothing else happening other than the soon to be 4-12 Packers. You're a Hall of Famer for sure and it's been nice watching you but times up. No playoffs, no winning season.

I can understand a Bear,Lion, and a Viking fan but a obviously jealous(god knows why Cowboy fan) Plus Favre always plays bad in Domes. 2 INT's. Really only 1. Last one was on a hail marry. The only other one was a nice defensive play. Not a bad throw. so................. don't judge a game by the highlights.

Of course we're gonna pick the Packers over a 6-10 team from a year ago. I now have little better perspective on Detroit but they're not there yet. For me stating Brett Favre should retire and the Packers will go 4-12 is what pisses me off when that person is A.either insane or B. Uses no logic and doesn't no a thing about football. For Lions fan your not so bad zackman. You talk trash but after the game you admitted the FACT.

i think the lions have to shut there mouth be for they screw up there season its one game favre is still favre and the bears have a good D still and kyle orton did ok who knows about the vikings but i know the bears and packers are better than the lions will be at the end of the season.

The Lions have beat the Bears 3 straight with BAD teams! The team is improved and the Bears have a rookie QB, look for the Lions "D" to ROAR again on Sunday. If the Lions "D" is available in your Fantasy League pick-um up and play-um Sunday agains Da Bears!!!!!
I read an intresting article in the Press Gazette today published in Detroit. It stated a lot of facts about how Lions fans shouldn't overhype their team right now. They beat a sloppy looking always starting off bad team in the Packers. It's only week 1. Again by Week 4 I'll no where most teams are heading. Green Bay included.
I think Detroit fans should be happy about the win, but I agree...I wouldn't read much into it yet. The Packers committed 19 penalties and three turnovers and it was still a pretty close game. The Bears' defense is a ton better than Green Bay's, too. Harrington will be running for his life next week.
yeai mean one game now same for bears D and offense i think kyle orton looked better than any rookie or sub Qb the bears have had for t he last 2 years
John Madden said something that actually made sense last night on Monday Countdown. He said every year after the first week we ride a team off and jump on the others wagon because of an impressive performance. He said the Chiefs and the Colts d's might not be for real like mosts think. Jets might not be that bad. Thats a great example. It's only Week 1.
