Lions 34 Bengals 3

DETROIT -- Matthew Stafford threw touchdown passes on his two drives and the Detroit Lions went on to beat the Cincinnati Bengals 34-3 Friday night.

Lions backup quarterback Shaun Hill ran for a score and Jason Hanson kicked a field goal to give Detroit a 24-3 lead at halftime.

Bengals QB Andy Dalton was hit by Ndamukong Sung after taking his first NFL snap and Chris Houston intercepted the underthrown pass. The second-round pick finished 11 of 15 for 69 yards. He put Cincinnati in a position to attempt two field goals and Mike Nugent made one to make it 14-3.

Stafford was 6 of 7 for 71 yards. He threw a 26-yard TD pass to Calvin Johnson, who didn't return to the field, and a 7-yard score to Nate Burleson on an overturned play.

after re-watching the first half, I feel a lot better about what I saw outside of 2-3 bengals players. A number of players had very good games, but its a team sport. On many plays 10 guys did their job, but 1 didn't and it ruined the play (and most times it was a guard).

Only sucky part was losing LB Dontay Moch for 2 months to a broken foot.

The Bengals are in a tough spot though. Their biggest liability is one of their team leaders, Bobbie Williams. He's a great voice in the locker room, but he can't play at a high level anymore, in large part because he's about 40lbs heavier than he should be. He makes Andre Smith look like Kate Moss.

Andre Smith doing the next centerfold? Well...it's not like he hasn't shown us his moobs before. Between Nate Livings and Bobbie Williams the Bengals can free up some more cap space by the end of camp ;D

Megatron is one of my favorite players. Much respect to the Lions, they're looking pretty good. I'd just be worried about Suh being suspended for a year for decapitating a QB.
