OT: Thanksgiving 2009 game discussions thread

Johnson plays as well

DETROIT (AP) - Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford was in
the starting lineup Thursday against Green Bay, less than a week
after separating his non-throwing shoulder.

The rookie passer and receiver Calvin Johnson (knee) each missed
three days of practice after suffering injuries in Sunday's
dramatic win over Cleveland.

Lions linebacker Ernie Sims was out with a hamstring injury,
defensive end Dewayne White with a hurt toe and safety Ko Simpson
with a knee injury. All three are starters.

The Packers, who lost linebacker Aaron Kampman and cornerback Al
Harris to knee injuries last Sunday, started center Scott Wells,
who missed two practices with a sore knee.

Well, color me surprised, honestly. Stafford especially didn't look like he'd be back this soon. It's a good thing though, obviously they wouldn't have a shot at beating GB without them.

And a good place to post this...Stafford mic'd up in the Browns game. Kid REALLY shows tremendous guts near the end after the shoulder hit, even more apparent here than it was on TV. Maybe the Lions found themselves the real deal for a QB, after all!

That's a tough ************ right there. I've separated my shoulder so bad that I had tendon damage. Trust me when I say that everytime he throws, that thing is going to pop. If he gets hit, forget about it. First time that happens I would be absolutely shocked if he didn't have to leave the game.

Wow, give the points to Detroit if you're betting. This isn't going to go well for them.

I think the Lions may actually be a watchable team. Stafford is a real good young QB who seems to be getting the hang of this NFL thing.

Go Lions!!!

Lions might be buliding a good foundation with Stafford and CJ.
