Lions Notes: 7-4 Isn't The End Of The World

We could claim the 5th WC spot by beating out Chicago – we have the tie breaker currently…

I dont see Minnesota beating the Falcons unfortunately and Chicago is playing in Oakland, so its a toss-up there really. Haine is the real wild card factor for that one

They have to win the division if we are to get a seed, unless Chicago breaks down completely, and I don’t see that.

I’m not qualified to say to what extent but that’s not normal, if it was we’d see it all the time. It’s a mans sport with a lot of aggression and dirty stuff going on but the players contain it for the most part.

Thanks to Zeebra Castration,brought to you by Goodall Inc. I now play like Pee Wee Herman. Tequela anyone?

He could endorse a line of slipper-spikes… to kick the dog with.

I wouldn’t say the Lions are stacked with talent at RB by a long shot. They have MoMo, who’s reliably decent at best, Ksmoove who is reliably unreliable at best, and Williams who is so far reliably absent at best. I don’t believe Felton is the answer but there isn’t any abundance of talent at RB for us :/

He’s worthless because he’s average at everything, but not especially good at anything. It’s like having a swiss army knife in a fully stocked toolbox, you have a guy who can do everything ok, or you have 4 other guys who can each do something better than he can.

right about… HERE:

Jerome Felton is a good running back

Hey, anybody can run into the back of his offensive linemen and fumble the ball. it doesn’t take a good running back to do that.

Winning Thursday was my key to winning the division in the last game, but that pipedream is all but gone. We may still have to beat the Packers to make the playoffs, while they may be going for 16-0. I still think we match-up good with GB, and can beat them playing our “A” game.

I thought going into Thursday, that the Lions had a good shot at beating the Saints; in the aftermath of the game- virtually impossible, with Suh gone, and new injury problems to “Dirty 30” Smith, Delmas, and Houston leaving Detroit too vulnerable. On second thought, winning in N.O. is not impossible; we have depth in our DL, and they will be motivated to have Suh’s back. If Smith’s injury is minor, that will help stabilize Stafford’s confidence, and help keep his head out of his ass. The secondary is the main problem now, with the injury to Houston causing most of the anxiety. Can he make it back? Delmas seems very unlikely, and I’m really glad the Lions picked up Harris now. The road has been sorta magical for Detroit this season, and they have a chance to redeem themselves in the Sunday night broadcast. They really need this rebound in New Orleans, and the whole team needs to step up- especially Matthew Stafford, who is going to have to be better than Brees.

Presumes Laettner has the required parts for breeding.

is that people have seen what this team is capable of. Our Lions have dismantled the opposing team the way few teams in this league can, and they’ve done it multiple times. When they do lose, it’s mostly due to turnovers and penalties and self-inflicted problems. I think most people feel that we should be ahead of where we are now, even though we’ve already come so far so fast.

Of course we probably could have/should have won all four of our loses, but most teams in the NFL have games where they didn’t play their best, didn’t get the right “bounces” or got bad calls. We’ve seen all of that and more. I view the Lions as still in a rebuilding mode, and with a young QB, you have to expect it to be somewhat of a roller-coaster. I truly believe Stafford will continue to get better as he gets more snaps and learns to deal with pressure better. If you’d asked me last year if I would have been happy with 7-4 at this point, I think you all know the answer. The Lions are still a work in progress. Lots of potential, but we still have a ways to go.

The guy who put the dagger in your heart was from Ohio too. Stings doesn’t it.
