Well look at that. Dumpsterfire just defeated the Pats, how can this be? It was supposed to be impossible.

They won a game! Let the bells ring and the banners fly.

Are you familiar with the Lions' history? Beating a team they're not supposed to give false hope while losing to teams they should beat is this franchise's M.O. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the victory. But I'm not drinking any Kool-Aid based on it. I've seen this show too many times before.

Most aren't even flinching... This is just giving two posters who looked foolish the first two games a week to stick their necks/chest out... and then SOL will appear against the Cowboys when we can't stop the run!

If Lions burst out into a 9-7 or whatever I'll be happy. What was awesome about last night was Kerryon Johnson. I'm going to like him. If he can stay healthy, I think he'll continue to run well improving basically everything on this team(Time of possession, scoring, defense, a load off Stafford shoulders. )

I watched the game. Patriots pass rush is about the worst in the league I'm almost sure. An it pains me to say this cause it means I'm getting old but Tom Brady looks... well, old now. 

Not even Flinching. I can't get on the wagon when I've always been off, I'll have to see where we are at near the bye week for me to become real passionate about the Lions again this year. Still though, if your a football fan, there was nice things from the Lions that can translate week to week.

Kerryon Johnson was 15 when the Lions had their last 100 yard rusher

It was a great game to watch.  Glad we stuck with the run, it really seemed to open things up for Stafford which is what we have all been preaching for years.  The D surprisingly played well.  Usually RBs and TEs are our Achilles heel but we swarmed Gronk and held their RBs in check.  I am glad Edelman and Gordon were not available for this game as that would have been very different but it was still a nice win.  Hopefully a confidence booster but as others have said, I am still not expecting much for the season.

Read the game thread in NFL General. Most impartial observers agree the Patriots played like hot garbage.

It's nice the Lions showed some improvement, to be sure. The team that played the Jets wouldn't have beaten anyone. We'll see if they can sustain the improvement
