The Detroit Lions

[sluggish]

It's all Wayne Fontes' fault...

I agree.  I absolutely despised Martz and his pass-happy offense when he was with Detroit.  When you play four quarters and your rush attempts for a game are barely above single digits, there is a problem.

And THAT ^^^^^ is exactly what the game has degenerated to.

How many teams have a full back and 2 half backs on the field on offense anymore? 

It's all pass, pass, pass.

I think if any of the NFL greats from the 40's, 50's were alive today they would watch a game and scratch their heads and ask..."since WHEN did this game turn into "passball?"

Of course it's pass, pass, pass. Everybody has got a rocket arm and most Q.B's are untouchable under the new "don't hurt my pretty face" rules.

It's only gonna get worse gentlemen.

Note the Bears fantastic game yesterday vs GB.

Wow...what a SCORING FEST!   

Bears will very soon be the laughing stock of the conference....why?

A)  They aren't even remotely prepared for the post-season.  If they win their first game it would be a miracle of Biblical porportions.

B)  All this season showed was that you can still get to the playoffs with a QB that would suck in a high school game and a worthless O line.

C)  Have the front office thinking everythings hunky dorey and that "we'll make the Superbowl next year".

D)  Prediction:  Bears will be a 5 and 11 team in the next 3 years.


Congrats to the Lions for their win yesterday.  Favre or no Favre MN is no pushover to anyone.

Naw...

Been a fan since 1966.

Saying that after Lovey's 3rd season he needed to go.

Cuttler passes to guys in the other colored jersey as often as not.

All this season has done is delay the inevitable.
