No question. The D.

Detroit had the #1 passing attack in the NFC? I wonder if the Skins will be able to do the same against the Cowchips?

My game ball goes to Campbell -- I think he effectively silenced the critics of his short-to-intermediate passing game.

Detroit had the #1 passing attack in the entire NFL.

But only the 8th most efficient. They just get a lot of yards because they have a lot of attempts.

I think they ranked 30th or 31st in rushing offense because they never really ran the ball.

Anyway, Green Bay has a stronger passing attack than Detroit does, so the D will get another challenge next week. The Packers have a receiving core every bit as good as people think the Lions are.

And they didn't invest 4 first round picks into it.

Game ball shouldn't be to the entire D unit, but def someone on the unit. Shouldn't options include Andre Carter or Rogers? Or at least G Williams? Not only did Rogers have a great mop up pick for 6, his tackling and limiting YAC was huge.

Coaches but I'll settle for The D.

I think that was one of the best overall performances we've seen from the D in the Gregg Williams era.

The #1 passing team in the league held to 76 net yards passing? That's disgusting.

Certainly the best performance ever from the front four.

Hmmm, I think it's a toss-up between that performance and the Dallas-Redskins game in Week 15 of the 2005 season. Daniels was molesting Dallas' backup LT.

True, true..I think we start to see more man to man coverage from our corners. What a complete game.

Give credit to GW's scheme. Although some weeks his refusal to adjust his gameplan kills us, he really took away Kitna's bread and butter. The Lions are super unbalanced on offense, and we just didn't allow receivers to run free in space. Consequently Kitna made bad decisions all day, and the pressure wasnt bad either.

I had to go with JC. Big Mike close second, real close. But JC...stats aside, on both touchdown throws and the two point conv., JC showed he's becoming a playmaker. And how about the 4 and 2....cool as a cucumber.

In a week where JC had his best game, the rest of the Young Guns seemed to be very average.

[Skinsfan1967]

Held that offense to just three points. Way to go D.

[skinsfan_nn]

Big step for Jason, it's his! If there were two (WHICH THERE ARE, IN MY BOOK)) the D would get the second they played GREAT!

[WillH]

I said the "D." If I could give two, the second goes to JC. Even though it was a crappy Lions D, he didnt have his top 2 WR for half the game, and still played great. Sellers is a close third as well. What a Manimal!!

[SanFranSkinsFan]

Sellers. He's such a badass and it shows. Also Carlos should get one for the way he jumped that route and shimmied into the end zone. That was f*&king beautiful.
