Two down, fourteen to go and the Lions sit at 0-2. My respect and condolensces go out to the brave fans who dared show their faces at Ford Field for the home opener. A few things caught my attention during the game and they are:

The Good: Calvin Johnson- Well Millen, you finally got one right. Fourth times the charm I guess but as a fan I'll take any bright spot I can get and Megatron (I refuse to call him Bolt) is exactly that. Johnson ended the game with 6 catches for 129 yards...

Wanted to share some thoughts from the game yesterday. It was a wild day. Started out very nice at the stadium, but Ike made his presence felt and when he did, boy was it interesting!

If Peyton Manning was rusty against average corners, guys like Antonio Winfield should really be able to contain him.

Does it sounds like I'm trying to convince myself into this one? Because I...

This was supposed to be a game that the Lions could afford to lose. Unfortunately that's not the case this week as the Lions come into the game with a 0-1 record after a huge disappointment at the hands of the Atlanta Falcons.

This week is the home opener for Detroit and the fans are getting restless. The Packers looked very good beating the Vikings in an early division battle 24-19 in a Monday Night Football showdown, and would love to go 2-0 with both wins in their division. ...
