This Carimi injury is lingering much longer than I thought it would.

Turning into a lost season.

[emperorjones]

I'm guessing he's missing 2 more games and then eases back in over the final 6 before starting in the playoffs. With Lance Louis coming on and Garza way out performing Kruetz (remember him?) and Willimas pulling - our right side running game is going to be solid when the weather gets cold and the turf gets bad.

[Chewie]

I still have visions of Louis not only blocking Trent Cole on his @ss but then running over to completely pancake him when he clearly didn't have to. Showed a mean streak there. Is this the real Lance Louis? He was the weakest link not too long ago....

[WEFFPIM]

Carimi's undergoing surgery.

[heir_jordan22]

I'm not sure if Carimi will come back this year, or even given a chance to start if he is healthy, but I think once he comes back we should put him in at guard. Louis is a better pass protector, and Carimi's greatest strength is his run blocking. I think it only natural that they switch.

GAME: I think we got this. 'Nuff said.

20 - 0... Not bad, not bad at all!

[SportsWorld]

How was that not a flag on Suh? The Lions are so unlikable it's sad.

[emperorjones]

Not a very good half on offense, but I'll take 20 points at halftime any day.

[emperorjones]

MAJOR WRIGHT!

[NZB2323]

Not to read too much into one game, but I think that we're going to make the playoffs.

6-3 with a remaining schedule of San Diego, Oakland, Kansas City, Denver, Seattle, Green Bay, and Minnesota.

Last year we looked better after the Bye week, and I thought that the Bye week would matter more this year with a shortened training camp. It's only been 2 games, but we've looked very good.

And keep in mind that the 3 teams that we've lost to have a combined 5 losses(6 after this game is over.)

[emperorjones]

Chris Williams hasn't played in the 2nd half. Anyone hear why?

[ChronicKerr]

Chris Williams hasn't played in the 2nd half. Anyone hear why?

Wrist injury, not sure how serious.

AMAZING GAME!

[BIGGIEsmalls 23]

I think this one is not going to be pretty for the Lions. Hope I am wrong but I've got the Bears 30-10 and a real rough night for Stafford.

Icness posted this on the Lions board on Thursday. I gotta give it to him. That was a great prediction.

[MF Doom]

The Bears D looked a few years younger today.

[WEFFPIM]

Which is good because the offense looked pretty bleh
