More like Connor Barf, am I right?

:smug:

But seriously though, the Lions defense is horrendous.

A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.
That was the best outcome possible.

Trubs came up big late, Loggains called a good game, Shaheen showed up big, Howard and Cohen owned.

And the Bears lost preserving that sweet sweet draft position.

I'm not quite ready to sell on Fat Mike, but Hundley's performance is demonstrating that McCarthy's reputation for coaching up Rodgers is probably an illusion.

Ziggy might not have been getting sacks, but the Lions are desperately missing him in their run defense.

Losing Rodgers for a while will likely do some good for the immediate future of the team. If only by shining a spotlight on problems that can be overlooked when you start a hall of fame quarterback for 24 years.

Nah.
Thompson maybe to be replaced by Wolf, Capers yes, but Fat Mike and Rodgers are tied together, I don't think you get rid of him without breaking Rodgers.

hahaha I just remembered Packers-Steelers is SNF next week and I think it's also too late to flex them out. The Packers are going to get humiliated on national television.

Find someone who values you like Rick Spielman values 7th round picks.



What are the other options? Joe Callahan?

Players on the waiver wire that are worse then whoever the backups are in HOU?

McCarthy made his mistake by not making some sort of move before the deadline. He made the bed now he has to sleep in it.

If he knew what was good for him, he'd bring in Kyle Orton.

I'm not sure if even 5-11 gets us into the top 10, looking at the rest of the schedule. Giants, 49ers, Colts, Browns are basically all a lock for the top 10. Bears, Bucs, Cardinals, Redskins, Chargers, Bengals, Jets, Dolphins, Texans, and Broncos are all sitting at 4-6 or 3-7, with the Raiders probably joining that club soon. At least half of these teams will need to win a few more games for the Packers to have a real shot at a top 10 draft pick.

Still a better pick than bringing in a random QB to limp to a 7-9 finish. :shrug:

The Lions do not have a defensive line.

But they have Matthew Stafford and Matt Prater. Maybe they should only draft Matts.

Will the Steelers play down to them because they're a bad team right now, or prepare seriously because it's still the Packers who are traditionally a contender?

I bought the plush toy of this dog from the kickstarter and it arrived at my office within a week of a coworker's boyfriend dying in a fire. As soon as I opened the package and realized what it was, I put it away and didn't finish opening it till I got home. I'd planned on leaving it at my desk, cause...funny dog toy for the office, right?

Nope. never brought it in. Didn't want to explain the joke.

the Vikings haven’t given up a sack since the Chicago game. i now expect Detroit to paste Keenum into the turf.

I interviewed at a place a few weeks ago and as I was walking to the interview room I passed by someone who had that comic printed and hung up in her cubicle. I caught her eye and gave her a thumbs up as I pointed to the comic. I did not get the job.
