Our team is crazy shitty?
Looking at pure talent, I wouldn't be surprised if we're among the bottom 5-10 teams in the league right now.

That's like asking "Can't the Eagles win the Super Bowl just once?"..
Of course not. It's against the natural order of things. What's next? Dogs and cats living together? Mass hysteria!

We don't lose to the Failcons tonight. I would put all of my money on it.

seeing as how the Bears lost he should of been gone after that game ended
Man up and bet your avatar on it.
Man, that 37 yard play to Ginn to setup the touchdown deserves a gif. What a spectacular play. Cam hung in the pocket for nearly 5 seconds before uncorking a goddamn laser. It was a Stafford-esque side arm job too, except with accuracy. Hit Ginn perfectly in stride and totally changed the tone of the drive.
Here's a shitty one,
Here's a shitty one,
I said during the game it was a shit move for the donks to be running up the score on a bunch of JV players like the Texans have on defense
Yes. This was well done
Yes. This was well done
What an embarrassing way to go out. Playoffs right there for the bears and the defense still didn't step up.
Looking back all season, this defense singlehandedly lost us 4 games easily because of their incompetence. What a joke. Mel Tucker have no business in the NFL. he was shit in Jacksonville and he's shit in Chicago of all places. Easily Phil Emery's worst decision as our GM. Even more so then bostic and Shea.
At least we're not the lions though, poor kas.

At this point it doesn't make any difference whether they oust him right now or at the end of the year. Next week is a road game, there's no worry of "what if we alienate the crowd?" or whatever, and the organization as a whole isn't proactive enough to be seriously interviewing candidates until the season's over anyway. That's not how the Lions operate and I'm not going to start putting them into that box when it's not who they are.

Well you just jinxed the 9ers.
Let's all take a moment with deadspin to laugh at how wrong and shitty of a human being Peter King is,

Lions have some talent. What they need is discipline (on D) and someone to work on Stafford's technique (which, regardless of his stats, is awful). This was a season tailor made for them to take this division, especially with injuries to Cutler and Rodgers, and instead they Schwartz'd it away.
It'll be interesting to see whom they bring in. Someone Coughlin-esque is what they need. Drill sergeant mentality, laser focus on football and not all the other crap (no more Suh stomps, etc). Cowher would be a logical choice but he hasn't coached in forever. The other issue is "if I coach this team, do I have to live in Detroit?" Almost as bad as selling the Cleveland job to someone.

If the 9ers win, you wear that avatar for the rest of your life in celebration. If the 9ers lose, you wear that avatar for the rest of your life in shame.

oh shit I got 2 points in pick'ems....for both leagues lol
I forgot the morning games 
I'd be amazed if he completed those passes. It'd be like Brent in 2009 proving he still had it.
He's talking about if they rested their starters against the bears and lost and then tied the cowboys next week the cowboys would go on to the playoffs, now the eagles move on in the case of a tie.

Newton reminds me of tebow. I don't say that to troll but it's like he does jack shit most of the game and then pulled out a W because the D kept it close. Not saying he is as bad of a passer as tebow but I think he is a disappointment as a #1 pick
Ouch. Peyton going to have to carry another team through the playoffs.
Hey now, I might want to use that avatar in animegaf in the offseason. Don't be selfish.

God. the Cam haters must be so salty. They probably all had entire articles already written by the end of the 3rd quarter filled with a bunch of stupid drivel like that post. Having to scrap all that work must have really sucked. As bad of a passer? Are you fucking serious? Tebow couldn't throw a 7 yard out to save his life.

Welp... There goes the last bit of defense we had... Might want to rest Peyton now.

It's ok, we deserve it, we were getting way to hopeful. You buys brought us back down to earth
The comment regarding the contrast between the Brees tweet and the Cam tweet say all that needs to be said, really.
Brees drives the field and scores to attempt to salvage a win, and he's a great QB. Which he is, and I'm not taking anything away from Drew here. Long drives in the 4th quarter are a staple of a great QB.
Cam drives the field to save the Panthers' season and it's "good for him" because it doesn't fit the narrative.
I really want to believe it's not simply a racial issue, but sometimes it's hard to think otherwise.

Right. Meanwhile, if the Saints lose next week and the Cards win, the Saints go from being #2 seed to out.
We'll see how many "season saving" tweets we see in that situation.

Also, once the Panthers won, the 3 seed became much more attractive. I'd much rather go to Carolina in the second round as opposed to traveling to Seattle (even though Arizona showed that the Seahawks aren't invincible at home).
There really was no reason to rest the starters last night and I'm glad that Chip didn't do it.

Of course he is a better passer than tebow. That game yesterday reminded me of tebow though. And you can't say he has lived up to his #1 pick status

Brees is playing against a great defense and cam is playing against a defense that is not great, especially on the road. I don't know if it's racially motivated but there is a difference

Nah, it's still the Raiders. To be honest, it isn't our pass rush that has been as concerning as our secondary, so in some ways, the Miller injury doesn't directly affect that.Pats get dat #1 seed then
What's the measuring stick? I mean, I don't really feel like getting into stat wars here, but of the recent #1 QBs, who has lived it up to it better than Newton? Certainly not Bradford. Stafford has been up and down. Luck is a stud, but if he's lived up to it, than so has Newton. There are no more questions about whether or not Cam can be the franchise QB for this team going forward, he's answered them all.

Cam has taken this team from 2-14 to 11-4 in three years and has put up historically great stats for a guy his age. What the hell do you want from a No. 1 pick?
And yes, this team has a great defense, but do you think Jimmy Clausen or Matt Moore playing QB would have them where they are right now?
