Looks like it might be a tight race for the division between the Lions, Packers, and Vikings. Tim Couch should be able enough to help you win as long as he isn't interception prone.

Too bad big Gilbert got hurt. I'd like to see your d-line with both Gilbert Brown and Shaun Rogers. That's a whole lotta DT haha

Thanks for following guys. I am a big Couch fan and he seems to be getting the job done. The D-line combo of Shawn Rogers and Gilbert Brown was amazing for the 2 games they played together. That's a lot of beef.

As long as Couch is healthy and playing well, you just might have found a "journeyman" QB that can stay with the Lions for future seasons.

And your defensive line with Brown and Rogers is pretty fat.

Lions start second half of season tonight.
5-3 record promising start.

Detroit, MI

The Detroit Lions are a suprising 5-3 on the season that has had it's share of ups and downs, a quarterback battle and many injuries. "We are excited about the second half of the season" stated QB Tim Couch.

If the Lions can match their 5-3 record in the second half many experts would expect a playoff spot with a 10-6 record. "We will worry about the playoffs in December, right now our main goal is going 6-3." Stated coach Mariacci.
