Items of note for Sunday and beyond...

There are numerous items of note to think about as the Lions again throw down the gauntlet against the evil one. A foreboding and ill wind is blowing across the lakes and plains of the Land of 10,000 Fiery Lakes.

First of all, The Franchize will watch this one from the comfy confines of the coaches booth high above the gridiron.

Stephen Peterman, the Lions starting right guard, is highly questionable to play this Sunday, which does not look good as the Lions are facing the Williams Wall, probably the best pair of defensive tackles in the league.

Julian Petersen, a three time probowl linebacker, and one of the few legitimate players the Leos have on defense, was benched for the last two series of the game against the Eagles...even the good players, play like bums once they put on the Honolulu blue.

Zach Follet is questionable, which is sad, because he's not even really all that good, but he's the best the Lions have to play the weak side.

Nate Burleson, the guy who was supposed to pull some of the coverage away from Megatron, suffered a high ankle sprain, which is an injury in the NFL that can range in severity as something between mild acne and the ebola virus. Who knows when he'll be back or if he'll even have both feet.
