I'm drinking beer
and I will probably needs lot’s of it for this game.
My God, 0-16. I can’t really come up with the appropriate words to describe it. I sincerely hope they beat the Packers today (of course, I always hope the beat the Packers) and would really like to see a road win in GB.
If I can only wish for one thing for Christmas, a win today is it. I do not want the Lions to be the worst team of all time in the NFL. There are plenty of other teams 1-15. I could take that. JUST WIN, BABY!

Amen
And what better team to get a win again.

The weather in Buffalo is nuts

This is really screwing with my championship game for fantasy football. I have 4 running backs in that game but don’t know if I should start 1 or 2 or 3 of them. They won’t be able to pass it, but how effective will they be running it?
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
That's my problem. In the big game
but worried K Smith could dress and not end up playing a lot. I think Smith could eat GB alive today if he plays the whole game.

Well he has the 1000 opportunity with 116 missing and Rudi is not playing.
So it should look good for him.
Thanks

If the site was down for you, I'm not exactly sure why
Yahoo, Facebook, and the entire SB Nation network were down for me for the last half hour. Something is wrong.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
If the site works, that is
It’s not loading for me now. The entire Internet is broken it seems like.

Lol
It is some guy with a camera on his TV. Better than nothing I guess.

Jordy Nelson returns the kick to the Lions 42
Return of 44 yards. He isn’t even a returner; it was a pooch to the up men.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Seems like we really showed up for today.
Long return to start the game :puke:
He tried to throw a screen and the ball slipped out of his hands and went backwards

4th and 12
Packers are going for it due to the wind.

Driver is tackled about 4 or 5 yards short on the quick pass
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
I want to watch the Bills/Pats game just for how funny it is
The wind is wreaking havoc with them. The punt just got knocked down in the air.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Orlovsky scrambled away from pressure and a pass downfield was dropped by Smith
Not his fault, though, as he dove for it and couldn’t hang on.

I would prefer that to a close loss.
Just put the nail in the coaches staff cuffin.
FitzSimmons is up to the 38 on the return
These kick offs keep going short.

Smith breaks a few tackles to pick up a couple yards
He should have been tackled for a loss of two.

Smith rocks
he’ll be good for years (especially if he gets an O-Line)

GB was offside on the EP, it will be enforced on the kickoff
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Kick isn't returned very far
Packers tried to let it go out of bounds but it didn’t. Instead it was picked off and returned for very few yards.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Packers' center is still out with an injury
His return is questionable.

My two cents
I really think that Cherilus could end up being a solid lineman but at guard. Also Ernie simms is a force on the Defense.
Calvin was wide open in the middle of the field and picked up a huge gain
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
i like dan o's philosphy
get CJ the ball 12 times a game.
Colbert dropped the pass into the air
Should have been a catch.

That's why Colbert is on his 3rd team this year

Timeout Packers with 7 seconds left.

Wait just a second
Packers are going to try a free kick.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Sweet
Lions need to return this. No way he makes it.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
It's like a kickoff
Except it isn’t on a tee. It is from the spot of the fair catch, which in this case was GB’s own 41.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
I bet marinelli was going
Free kick?! What’s a free kick?!

Just isn't that common of a scenario
You have to have a fair catch in a decent spot on the field. Not positive, but it may also have to happen within a certain part of the half.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
Definitely will write a story about this in the next couple days...
But Parcells apparently can opt out of his Dolphins contract, and although this is a pipe dream:
Among the teams sources say are on Parcells’ radar are the New York Jets, Detroit Lions, Cleveland Browns and the Oakland Raiders. However, if Parcells’ son-in-law, New England Patriots vice president Scott Pioli, is interested in any of those jobs, Parcells is unlikely to wind up with that team, Mortensen reported.
I can’t even imagine Parcells. That would be amazing.

Yeah
This should stand. But then again, we’ve gotten screwed before.
Check out Pride of Detroit, SB Nation's Lions Blog
There is a rumor floating about ...
that Parcells may leave Miami. He has an opt out clause and may exercise it. Too bad Ford has made his bed with Lewand and Mayhew.
No kidding
A ways up the page I posted a quote from the story. Apparently we’re on Parcells’ radar.

This is typical...
I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t overturn it…the Lions get jobbed because they suck and are the Lions.
I love how they didn't even know what the ruling was at first
Either someone blew a whistle or not. Good Lord.

Because Hochuli has become, over the last few years,
the worst ref in the NFL. He used to be good. he’s just getting senile.

Well, the season is officially 'totally fucked'
now we wait and see what that dumbass, Ford Sr, does to fuck it up even further. I’ll be checking back in here for a while. We’ll see what Ford does. That could determine whether I just stop watching football until he finally dies or not.

Hats off to Sean Y.
Sean—Better Days Ahead!!!! Thanks for the excellent Game Threads, I enjoyed all the comments/analysis and comic relief from all the participants. Thanks again!
p.s.—I think we will all feel better on Monday when WCF fires the whole lot of them and replaces them with trained chimps, it will certainly be an upgrade.
+1000
Good job this season, Sean. Tough to do under the circumstances.

I hate Dallas, though. Hope they lose big.
