@@Jack-xd4si another late reply but while it's true the refs stick the lions like none other it's still the lions fault for leaving every game close enough that 1 call can beat them. If they put the other team away like that have had soooo many chances to do then 1 call can't beat them and it'd be irrelevant
@@scoobycarr5558 Although the 2007 Lions had the best record under Matt Millen tenure with Detroit this team was still far from perfect.The defense on this team was pretty bad itself although not on the same level of the 08 Lions they still allowed 444 points on the season.
He was never a real receiver. Cutler wouldn't throw his way because he couldn't catch. I honestly think they should have used him on defense and returns. He could have probably been a decent db
I saw one of them live.. A punt return for a touchdown on Monday night against the Cardinals..... "The Bears Were Who We Thought They Were" I was at that game.
Also the best 8 games in the Millen-era. In 4 more games after that, the Lions went a historic 5 wins with 47 losses in 52 consecutive regular season games. Let that sink in.
This Lions team wasn't bad by any means if anyone remembers they were one of the best first half of the season teams in 2007. They were 6-2 but I think the game that broke their spirits was the Cowboys game where Romo had that last drive and sealed the deal. Kitna was on fire before the collapse , this Lions team had tons of potential but couldn't overcome adversity it seemed.
@@bigblue9996 agreed. One of the last great franchise modes. Best superstar mode on the Xbox 360 and PS3 era. Last but not least you could play as lot hall of famers in the game
@@JC2206 This was one of the toughest since you had to literally go for two most of the time and your defense had to stop them. Luckily there's rex Grossman to save the day😂😂. The toughest one had to be the Rams vs Cardinals one where you had to onside kick it and score before time runs out and you had about 15 seconds your best receiver was Torry Holt and you had Marc Bulger who was a pretty alright QB at the time
The fact that Baldinger knew Hester was a GOAT in Year 2 says a lot about his ability as an analyst...one of the best. And poor Bears, with a QB room of Rex Grossman and Brian Griese LOL
Hester may well have been the best KICKOFF returner ever...you can argue others or other punt returners were more explosive or some stuff like that but he was truly great at returning kickoffs which is something very few in the history of the game can say..
The Lions started that year 6-2, then went 5-47 (they won more games in the first half of 2007 than the next 6 halves combined), and then won 9 straight going into 2011 (in addition to all 4 preseason games).
This just reminded me how infuriating Lovie Smith’s clock management was. He always hesitated in using their timeouts wasting literally a whole minute that could have won them the game every time they were down. It was like he didn’t want his offense to succeed.
Yessir, let's not forget that wild and wacky timeout he did call once, 2 seconds before the 2 minute warning. Absolute idiocy regarding clock management is a beloved hair-pulling Bear tradition.
NEVER KICK TO DEVIN HESTER. Also, GG to Troy Walters, that's a heck of a way to score your last ever touchdown. And DAMN, I don't think I've ever seen an ONSIDE KICK get recovered for a touchdown before!!
Amazing the Lions could be in involved in ANY type of scoring records, unless it would be most field goals made after a team blows the most first and goal situations!!!!
I remember Mike Furrey. He was my favorite player on that team. I even bought his jersey after watching him celebrate a touchdown in Dallas by throwing the football at one of the Dallas stars and knocking it down off of their old stadium. 🤣🤣
I never forget this game. I remember Bears play the Lions in football. So many run score. A lot of air balls in sky. I #1 football. I know all of football. So it good.
Ah yes, I remember this season. This was the year Jon Kitna promised Detroit fans they'd win 10 games that season. They started out 6-2, then fizzled out and finished 7-9 lol
Dude would you EVER have guessed that the 2 teams involved in the highest scoring 4th quarter would be between the BEARS & LIONS, LOVIE SMITH & ROD MARINELLI, BRIAN GRIESE & JON KITNA!!! like...WHAT!?!?
I argue if you put Mahomes in Trubisky’s shoes (I.e., Bears draft Patrick M.) he doesn’t do any better with the poor blocking O Line and pass dropping receivers (over the last three years). Nobody wins his first year with John Fox as coach. 🙄
Top touchdown songs in this video: 0:24 KC and the Sunshine Band - That's the Way I Like it. 2:14 Usher featuring Lil Jon, and Ludacris - Yeah! 8:50 Don't know hat song was that. 13:34, and 22:44 Blur - Song 2
This is one of those games you would see the ticker and your eyes would bulge having seen the ticker tape show the score in the 3rd quarter. "What the heck happened there?!" Well, now I know!
Well, the average points per game in 2007 was 21.7 while the average points per game so far this year is 24.1. This was a crazy game though, but there's been plenty of shootouts this year too. I honestly prefer the more moderate scoring games such as 24-21 or something like that.
Anyone notice the arrow at 4:28 after the extra point? It pointed out the ball perfectly! 😂 Also, Middleton had two embarrassing plays in a row on that kick return by Hester and the kickoff after 😂😂😂
Adrian Peterson was the guy you could trade in fantasy football for a big points earner when they other guy didn’t know it wasn’t “All Day” AP of the Vikings you were giving him.
I miss the old games I feel like the crowd noise was higher and the announcers were just a lot better. It’s definitely a way different atmosphere in the games today. I really hate the music blaring whenever the game stops idk it might just be me lol. It also felt like it meant more then too.
Beginning of fourth quarter 13-3
End of fourth 27-37
Total points scored in fourth 48 points!
fruit Costa just 6 more points then the 1916 Georgia tech team scored in the forth quarter when they won with a score of 222 to nothing

Well he can stake his claim to that now being a member if the hof 😊
Rare footage of the Lions winning a game in the Matt Millen era.
Also I miss this FOX sports graphic.

Part of the reason why we like it is because of Super Bowl 42.

Fun fact. Devin Hester has 4 more return tds than receiving tds, and almost 4 times as many return yards as receiving yards in his career
He was never a real receiver. Cutler wouldn't throw his way because he couldn't catch. I honestly think they should have used him on defense and returns. He could have probably been a decent db

I miss the days my bears were worth watching #BESTRETURNMANEVER#
Yeah we couldn’t trust him as a receiver. He had loose hands.
He came in the league as a cornerback , and return artist he was never gonna be an elite receiver or cornerback
I was so confused when ‘Adrian Peterson’ started getting touches lol
Yeah. It didn't help that he also wore 29.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Peterson_(American_football,_born_1979)
How on Earth is the win percentage figured? I love how when the Bears were up by 3 and down by 4 it was the same probability.
It's also a matter of who's playing, where they're strong in, how they counter the other team. Not just who's winning and who has the better record

Yeah I was really confused by that name...
Jar of Smegma smh only on the internet
And if Detroit had had the "real" Roy Williams.

Man Devon Hester was so fun to watch coming from an eagles fan
Bro, the return on the opening kick in the superbowl?! Surreal!
Devin*
Devin Hester was a god
David Goodwin no
So talented, but he became so lazy. It's like he lost desire to play far too early. Still had a great career as far as a returner. Awful WR.
Yeah he was a god
Yes, until Lovie Smith got greedy and tried to turn him into a WR.
@@MattPawlowski greatest kick returner in the history of the game!

He was a joy to watch

A rare positive moment for the Matt Millen-era Lions.
Chris Kreager 2007 was Millen’s best season.
Also the best 8 games in the Millen-era. In 4 more games after that, the Lions went a historic 5 wins with 47 losses in 52 consecutive regular season games. Let that sink in.
The 4th quarter alone was a classic! Brian Griese was a decent qb, but he definitely wasn't his father!

Watch The Greatest Game Nobody Watched. Detroit v Cleveland.
Don't forget longest fg by an opposing team lol
19 career KO returns for Tds for Hester. That's insane! Does that include Punt return TDs too?
Great post! Thanks. Please upload the 2007 week 2 game between Bengals and Browns.
YES!!!! i have been looking for this footage for YEARS online!! Casey Fitzsimmons returning the onside kick... so awesome
I remember Mike Furrey. He was my favorite player on that team. I even bought his jersey after watching him celebrate a touchdown in Dallas by throwing the football at one of the Dallas stars and knocking it down off of their old stadium. 🤣🤣
Furry had a good game against bears. He is now the Bears WR coach
Former qb like a Matt jones from Arkansas if he became a more complete player
I miss returners like Hester. Kickoffs were fun.
Nice highlights!
Do you have Cowboys-Eagles from Week 2, 2008 or Redskins-Bucs from the 2005 playoffs?
The Lions only had 3 wins against the Bears from 2005-2012 and 2 of them came in 2007.
As a Bears fan this had all the electricity of a playoff game

Still Detroit made history by scoring 34 points in the fourth quarter. Which is pretty damn awesome.
Let’s hope these 2023 lions can keep it up🙏
Nathan Peterman's first career, as a Detroit offensive lineman, pictured at 13:43. Truly the GOAT.
I loved the video (even though I'm a Bears fan). But it could have been about 10 minutes tighter. Keep up the good work, though.
Cedric Benson had that UT curse. Great UT football player that just couldn’t cut it in the pros. Hampered by the fact he was “coached” by Mack Brown.
Hester was a boss on the field!
I love these types of vids. Especially the little pop-ups at the bottom
Best 4th qtr of all time:
2013 Ravens vs Vikings
2016 Seahawks vs Cardinals
I remember that game from when i was 7 and Im pretty sure it was when they both kept on getting big play's at the end

I got nauseous just hearing the names Brian Griese and Rex Grossman mentioned. With Mitch, at least there’s hope.
