what the gently caress happened to jake long, anyway? was it a bunch of injuries that cumulated in him sucking or something?

Yeah as far as I can tell his body just said 'gently caress this I'm out' and he was never even close to good again.

High on the Lions.

I'm excited to see how Caldwell manages to pull a Schwartz and clench defeat from the jaws of victory with regards to a terrible and collapsing NFC North.

I know Cooter gets a lot of praise for Stafford's recent dominance, but Caldwell honestly probably has a lot to do with it as well.

Somehow?

The Lions winning their division would actually fit in with this year's theme of "How the gently caress did that finally happen?"...

...leave it to the Browns to be completely immune to this effect though.

I think it's too early to think the Lions will win the NFCN but things are definitely trending that way. If they win their next two games which is certainly possible (Jags at home and then Vikings on Thanksgiving) then I'll start to get excited.

Of course, I've also resigned myself to the Packers somehow knocking them out of the title slot in Week 17 and me burning everything around me.

Except their Week 17 game is on 1/1/2017 :negative: Maybe that means they will lock it up in Week 16!

The division is completely collapsing and the Lions get to play the Jags at home. This is the perfect time for them to lose pathetically.

Honestly the two man sack play wasn't a bad play by him.

There's 9 guys in coverage, his line lets both of the rushers through immediately. There's nothing you can do in that situation.

you could escape from the 2-man pressure if you weren't a fuckin' immobile statue

Hack being a bad QB isn't just because he can't throw, it's that he can't do anything

He's been much better with game day decisions lately, and his complete lack of emotion seems to have rubbed off onto Stafford.

I know that Randy Edsall and another assistant have been helping with clock management, so props to Bob Quinn there.

I've seen people say for so many years that the Browns would never go 0-16 because they'd always luck into at least a few wins, thus ruining their draft position. Them going 0-16 this year, also the same year Cleveland got a championship and came a few outs away from another, just feels right.

It does make sense though that the Lions would rise to the top of the NFC North on literally the only week of the season they didn't have a chance to beat themselves.
