- Quarterback E.J. Manuel hadn't played well for Buffalo. His completion percentage was below 50. But I still think he would have given the Bills a better chance of winning this game than Kyle Orton. The Lions have an excellent pass rush, and at least Manuel has good mobility. Orton is just a sitting duck in the pocket for the Lions' defense.
- Lions' linebacker DeAndre Levy is just a search and destroy machine, isn't he?
- George Winn, the pride of Southfield and the University of Detroit Jesuit High School, is running hard. He looks very good. We'll see if he is able to hold onto the football. It was a problem for him in the preseason.
- How about instead of getting the ball into Brandon Pettigrew's hands in space out in the flat, do it for Eric Ebron. Bet he'd make a big play. The kid has excellent after the catch skills the Lions have yet to exploit.
- Matthew Stafford looks like he has a lot of zip on his fastball today. He displayed great velocity on the near-TD to Ebron, and the TD strike to Golden Tate.
