Today the Lions just couldn't get out of their own way against the New York Giants. Stupid penalties, including two critical 3rd down personal foul calls that gave the Giants a fresh set of downs and resulted in two touchdowns on those drives. I hate to complain about the refs in any sport but today it seemed like the men in stripes forgot that we need a quarterback too, not calling any roughing the passer on two plays that injured the two remaining QB's we have. Taking Shaun Hill out of the game before the half and injuring 3rd stringer Drew Stanton in the 4th quarter, which had still injured Matt Stafford running half way on the field with his helmet on until he was called back to the sidelines. Even though the Lions had a chance to tie the game up in the end they just kept shooting themselves in the foot (as usual) with bone headed penalties and turn overs at the exact time that they could not afford to give the ball up. Lions lose another on the road 28-20 to what looked like a very beatable Giants team, now they have a bye week to rest and recover and from all accounts Matt Stafford will be back at the helm of the offense against the Redskins. On a very serious note Zack Follet went down on a hit he took covering a kick off and for a little while it didnt look too good, he was put on a back board and carted off and taken to a local hospital. But reports have now come out that he has full use of his extremities and that there was no damage to his spinal cord. This is great news because Zack is not only a fan favorite but a player that showed that he can be someone that can possibly develop into one of those linebacker spots if given the chance.
Goodnight from the greatest sports city in the world and glad to hear everything is as good as it can be with you Zack we all look forward to having you back out there stacking up running backs on the goal line
