While I am not implying this is the Lion's of the last few years, I have to laugh when I read the posts about "how good Detroit is". Last I checked they are 0-4. They are not as pathetic as they have been. They have some nice core players. But all and all they have a long way to go before they come a quality team.

Step 1 is to win at least one game.

They're a 0-4 team, but better than that record implies. Keep in mind, Vick saved the Eagles by playing the game that saved his career and the Lions lost by a FG. They lost a game to da Bears by a weird rule that still boggles my mind. They came 2 points from upsetting us.

This is probably stupid, but I think we should run John Kuhn primarily in the first half and Brandon Jackson in the second half.

Let Kuhn punish the defense.
Let Jackson dance around them.

Yes I understand all of that. I am not saying they are as poor as Buffalo but a quarter of the way through the season, they still haven't won a game. Their defense is ranked 26th overall. They have a ways to go before they become a quality team.

What is the difference between a good team and poor team? Just look at yesterday's game. Detroit (statistically) outplayed GB in nearly every offensive category and yet they never led in the game. They moved up and down the field and when they got close to the end zone they were either made mistakes or were forced by the defense to settle for FG's.

I am saying they are still a poor team that has a long way to go. They at least are moving in the right direction. San Fran seems to have taken a step backwards.

I agree with you.

On any given Sunday....

The Lions brought their A offense and they gave us a good scare. They came close to an upset.

I'm more along the lines of "let's not take them so lightly again" than "we suck because we should have beaten them by more points."

Zero.. has an attitude thread going.. IMO.. we are not playing with much intensity and fire.. kind of a staple under Mike McCarthy.

We seem to need to be backed into a corner before we wake up and kick ass. That worries me.

We've received a lot of flack last year because we never started fast.

Now we're starting fast, but after that, we struggle. McCarthy needs to be more aggressive with his offensive playcalling.

As far as the run game. I'm not concerned about having 100 yards a game, but I just want somebody who can lengthen drives and have our defense rest.

Our defense is great, but if you leave them out there all day, they're going to get exposed. We need to sustain drives, convert third downs, and stop other teams on third down.

I have to give the Lions some credit - they played like they wanted the win bad. Detroit is a team that should be winning some games if they can learn to close a game. All in all, not a bad effort for a young team.

The Packers had their hands full yesterday without a doubt. If not for some flubbed plays on special teams and a couple defensive errors, they looked decent. I would have liked to see some more passing, and done a little more aggressively. As for the running game, I was glad to see more running that actually gained some yardage. We need more explosive runs to really make a defense fear us on the ground, and open up the passing game more. Nothing more overwhelming to a defense than a team that can attack effectively on the ground AND in the air.

Mucky Tundra (2h) : Rude!

beast (3h) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (6h) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (9h) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (10h) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.
