Lions @ Skins

Now watching Lions @ Skins on FOX...

1st Quarter
[7:52] Muffed snap. Puts the Skins out of field goal range. Redskins 0, Lions 0, non-eventful first quarter.

2nd Quarter
[10:00] Passing game is going well for the Skins. Campbell is having a great start. He is in a good rhythm because he's not getting pressured. The Lions should probably switch up their zone defense. It doesn't seem to be working. Good thing I started Campbell this week on one of my fantasy teams.
[9:15] Two big consecutive runs by Portis. Skins offense is rolling right now.
[8:17] TOUCHDOWN. Campbell to Cooley. I must say, impressive offensive drive. Time of possession: Redskins about 17 minutes, Lions about 4 minutes. Redskins, 7, Lions 0.
[8:10] Why do they keep hyping Mike Martz vs. Greg Williams?? Who cares??
[6:48] Big fumble recovery by the Lions.
[5:31] Interesting lineup by the Redskins. Direct snap to Portis and Campbell at WR. It worked. Big gain.
[5:00] Great throw by Campbell to Sellers. HUGE hit by Sellers. Man this Detroit defense is porous. Skins offense is getting into a good rhythm.
[3:06] Fumbled snap. Recovered by Campbell. A lot of muffed snaps so far today.
[2:37] Going for it on 4th down. 37-yard gain. Campbell to Randle-El. Wow, he was wide open.
[1:56] TOUCHDOWN. Mike Sellers. Redskins 14, Lions 0. 7 plays, 83-yard drive.
[1:46] Great kickoff return by Troy Walters. 39-yard gain.
[1:39] FUMBLE. Redskins recover. Unbelievable. I hate those UPS commercials. The song is kinda catchy though. Philip Daniels injured on the play. Oh, the play is going to be reviewed. It definitely looked like a fumble to me. Oh wow its overturned. It was a fumble but the Redskin was out of bounds when he recovered it.
[0:00] FUMBLE. Recovered by the Lions. End of first half. Ooh, Skins @ Packers next week. Who would have thought that would be a good game at the beginning of the season?

3rd Quarter
[14:29] Timeout Redskins. Burned a timeout this early in the 2nd half. Interesting to note. Greg Williams didn't like something and he looks pissed off. Too many men on the field for the Redskins.
[13:08] FUMBLE. Another one. Recovered by the Lions. Randle-El is out for the rest of the game. Hamstring injury.
[10:15] Campbell to McCardell. First catch of the season for McCardell.
[6:50] Field goal attempt. No good. I HATE those Chevy Silverado commercials.
[5:25] INTERCEPTION by Sean Taylor. Flag on the play. Could be pass interference. Yep. Interception nullified.
[2:32] Hanson 39-yard field goal. Its good. Lions 3, Redskins 14.
[1:18] Redskins are challenging the spot on the field. Could be costly if they lose this challenge.
[0:29] SAFETY. Kitna trips over himself. Carter capitalizes . Redskins 16, Lions 3.
[0:15] Campbell to McCardell 19 yard gain. Campbell is still rolling.

4th Quarter
[14:25] Two big runs. One by Portis and the other by Sellers.
[13:43] FUMBLE by Portis. Recovered by Lions.
[12:55] Great pass Kitna to Williams. One of the first big plays today for the Lions.
[10:50] Holy shit. What a return by Thrash....FUMBLE...recovered by Cartwright!!! What a block by Sean Taylor! Can we see that replay please. Detroit is challenging the play. They're saying Thrash was out of bounds. Call on the field stands.
[10:47] TOUCHDOWN. Cambpell to Sellers. Skins are going for 2. CONVERSION GOOD. Campbell to Cooley. Redskins 24, Lions 3.
[7:08] Kitna sacked. 19th time this season.
[7:00] INTERCEPTION. Sean Taylor. This game is pretty much over.
[3:06] Field goal. Redskins 27, Lions 3.
[2:09] HUGE HIT by Smoot. He hurt himself. Hey Gus Frerotte is playing today in St. Louis. Remember when he injured himself when he was with the Redskins after ramming his head into a concrete wall? Gave himself a concussion.
[0:45] INTERCEPTION. Carlos Rogers. 61 yard return. Redskins 34, Lions 3.
[0:05] Kitna sacked for the fifth time today.

All-around well-played game by the Redskins this game. Lions were just terrible today. Skins get the Packers next week.

Sam Rosen
  • Joe Gibbs said that the team was just hugely disappointed about last year.
Tim Ryan
  • The best thing the Redskins are doing right now is keeping the ball away from the Lions high-octane offense.
  • Greg Williams today is going to put his defenders in places where Mike Martz wants his receivers to be.
  • One of the things you have to be impressed with the Redskins is how they involve the offensive linemen in the offense.
  • The Lions have been out hit and out physical-ed by the Redskins.
  • Chris Samuels is one of the elite linemen in the league. He's good.
  • Redding needs to be better as this season rolls along. He is the team's franchise player.
  • Is it me or is he just gettting bigger? Hockuley?
