We start the 2nd quarter with Lions fans in a tizzy. Who are these guys, and what have they done with the Lions? I suspect a kidnapping plot.
Hasselbeck to Hushmozzartta...BALL! But the 'Hawks recover. Shit. They get the 1st down to boot. Double shit.
Hasselbeck starts moving the 'Hawks thru the air, drives them deep into Detroit territory at the 22. Draw to Forcett..and the 'Hawks are inside the 10. Red zone time. I'm losing my happy face.
Pass to Forcett inside the 5, 2nd and goal. Inside handoff to Jones...hit in the backfield...spins off, TD Seattle. You HAVE to make that fucking tackle.HAVE TO!
Seattle is back in the game 17-7. Well, it was fun while it lasted.
Short kickoff...Derrick Williams catches it on the run...a nice return to the 37...HE'S THROWN TO THE TURF 7 YARDS OUT OF BOUNDS! WHERE'S THE FUCKING FLAG?
Oh...there it is. 15 yard personal foul on Laury of the 'Hawks! Thank you very much, you fucking asshat.
Lions will start at the Seattle 47...Screen to Pettigrew...He HURTLES a Seahawk to get 7. That's a fucking athlete, folks!
Slant to BJohnson gets the 1st. Lions moving the ball!
Stafford wants to go deep...lofts it towards Megatron...caug...NO! He was just out of bounds, and the replays confirm it.
3rd and long from the 33. Stafford in the gun...he locks on on Pettigrew...pick. AAARGH! Rookie fucking mistake. 'Hawks take over, and my happy face is on the verge of disappearing.
Seahawks on the move, but face a 3rd and short from their 46.
Hasselbeck will throw from the gun...pressure...rolls...find the TE for the 1st at the Detroit 43. Fuck. Make a tackle, for fucks sake. Delmas went for the big hit, bounced off, and the TE got 5 more yards.
Hasselbeck hits a couple of short throws, and each time the Lions defenders miss tackles, allowing a ton of YAC. I HATE sloppy ass tackling. Fuck the fundamentals, apparently.
Then it's Haesselbeck looking for Hoosemunchatta...incomplete. FLAG! Interference on Delmas. Kill me now.'Hawks at the Lions 13.
Toss play left...Delmas busts in for the 5 yard loss! Typical rookie, he'll kill you one play, save you on the next.
After a false start, 'Hawks face 3rd and 16. Hasselbeck looks for Burleson in the end zone...He pushes Buchanan down! FLAG! INCOMPLETE! Lions refuse the penalty, Mare nails the FG on 4th down.
Seattle counters with 10 straight points after the Lions score 17. You do the math.
3 minutes left in the half. I'm not sure if I should be HAPPY, or PISSED. I guess I'm happily pissed off.
Lions start their drive at the 28. Smith pounds his way to the 35. OK, not bad. Delay to Smith gets 7 more, and moves the chains. Clock stops...
2 MINUTE WARNING! I repeat...2 MINUTE WARNING!
Ah, fucking Hell, the Motorola ad just had to feature last weeks Rams fake field goal. Why don't they just stab me in the heart instead?
Toss play to Brown...gets the corner! He's all the way to the Seattle 38! Great run, great call!
Incomplete pass stops the clock with 1:21 left in the half.
Stafford in the gun...looks for BJohnson...it's a shit ass wobbling duck of a pass...well short, picked at the 16. This Lions team just won't let me enjoy a Sunday!
Hasselbeck to Branch gets the 1st down over the 30, 2nd TO taken by Seattle. 52 seconds left.
Hasselbeck to Burleson moves the 'Hawks to the 44. No huddle, incomplete pass stops the clock with 29 seconds left. Huge pressure on 2nd down, Hasselbeck throws it away. 0:25 left, 3rd and 10.
Hesselbeck throws it well short for the sticks...James MISSES the motherfucking TACKLE! 1st down, 'Hawks. AAAAARRRRGH! Tackle the SOB's!
Hasselbeck hits the TE at the 29, TO Seahawks. FLAG! Face mask on Buchanon, ball moved to the 14, and the Seahawks get their TO back. 0:06 left. Well, fuck me hard.
Hasselbeck wants to go for it, Mora overrules him, sends out Mare for the FG. Lions ice him, then the 'Hawks commit a false start. The half just doesn't want to end!
Mare finally gets to kick, and it's good from 37. That's 13 straight Seattle points, for chrissakes. Lions still hang on to the lead, 17-13.
If the Lions could MAKE A FUCKING TACKLE, the game might not be this close. For that matter, if Stafford could STOP THROWING AT GUYS WEARING AN UGLY PUKE GREEN UNI, the game wouldn't be this close.
The 2nd quarter mercifully ends. I'm less now much less happy, and much more PISSED.
The 2nd quarter was full of typical Lions ineptitude. But they are still leading, which isn't so typical. I think my head is ready to asplode!
