I got a text at work this morning at like 930am CST from my dad whos back in Detroit, with it type all caps "THEY FIRED MILLEN! YES!" I was happy at first but it's really just another red herring by William Clay Ford. You can't fire a GM in week 3, put his lackey in as his interim replacement, and then pretend that everything is hunky dory for 7 years of bullshit. Basically all this means is that short of a blockbuster trade for Roy Williams, which we absolutely SHOULD DO, is that the Lions are still fucked for at least the next five months. The only thing now is that the fans have reason to hope for what happens in 14 weeks, rather than begrudge it.

Basically what I'm saying is that firing Millen at this point changes NOTHING. The team is still garbage and the organization is still garbage and until the team is sold to someone who uses it as more than his pet ant farm, then nothing will ever really change. They were called by BILL PARCELLS last year, ASKING TO HAVE MATT MILLENS JOB, and they didn't even take the call! THEY IGNORE BILL PARCELLS! So really now.

If there are any other Lions fans reading this, please don't come around me saying how everything's gonna be alright. It's not. This team is still fucked and will still fail miserably FOR-EV-ER!

Remember week 1 when I said I felt betrayed like the guy who took his wife back who blew the neighbor, only to come in and see the Cash Money Millionaires running the train on her a week later? I've learned from it, ya know? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on... shame on... can't fool me 'gain. Get a GM who has a PROVEN TRACK RECORD who makes COMMON SENSE MOVES in the offseason and maybe, MAYBE i'll start buying Lions merchandise/tickets again and supporting their sponsors once more. But until then I'm sitting here like the kid in Jerry Maguire, keepin' it real and just assuming that the next guy mommy brings home isn't my real daddy either.

Charlie Casserly is available. ;)

hmmm I could be wrong but I was sure that was the giants, cowboy game

It was the Giants @ Seahawks game in 2005. Giants pretty much dominated all game but the Seahawks were able to sneak back in it. Jay Feely proceeded to miss three FGs, two in regulation and one in overtime. Josh Brown kicked the game winner for the Seahawks. I think that reaction is from the OT kick.

I'm almost positive that that reaction is from your kicker missing a easy fg that would have won it instead of it going into OT.

1:35 in or so. missed it right at the end of regulation on a 40 yarder.

I remember watching it live and it was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

0-16 confirmed.

It probably won't happen, but man if there was ever team to go 0-16 it is this Rams team.

And in AFC North related news, Bart Scott apparently hasn't forgotten about Hines Ward lighting his dirty ass up last year. This is bad news for Big Ben because Scott said if he gets another shot at him he "won't go easy on him" like he did in 2005...

For people who remember that hit and remember how shitty the Steelers o-line is that is a very scary thought concerning the safety of one of our most sacred and beloved religious figures.

are the 9ers using Justin Smith in his one good role (run stuffing) or did his new proximity to the mexican border make it easier for him to get HGH so he could get the balls to actually sack a QB?
Click to expand...
They're actually shifting him around all over the place from DT, DE, OLB, and even ILB. He's already matched his sack total from last year and has a INT and FF so far.
 
WTF? Josh Morgan contracted staph infection during preseason game at Oakland.
Q: Brian Billick, on TV, said you lost 15 pounds . . .

Morgan: "I don't know how that got out."

Q: Is that true?

Morgan: "Yes, sir. How did that get out? That wasn't supposed to get out."

Q: Did that set back your development?

Morgan: "It kind of did. It's in God's plan. Everything's in God's plan I looked at it as a minor setback for a major comeback. But I'm feeling a lot like myself again. Last week was the first time I was feeling like myself again. In God's time, it'll be there for me."

Q: Did you have a staph infection?

Morgan: "Yes, sir."

Q: Do you know when you got the infection?

Morgan: "Everybody said it was from the first game, the Oakland game.

Q: Is that because of the infield dirt?

Morgan: "Yes, sir."

Q: What did it do to you?

Morgan: "Pretty much, it eats away at your skin. If you don't get it early, it could do a lot of damage to you."

Q: Did you have it on your knees or elbows?

Morgan: "I had it a couple of different places."

How the hell do the Raiders or A's not have a bunch of infected players running around?
 
I honestly don't know how the rest of the season is going to go for us. We do have a pretty brutal schedule. I mean yeah, the Lambs should count for two free victories, but the Seachickens and Cardinals are good football teams on both side of the ball--and our romp through the NFC & AFC East aren't going to be cake walks: Some people are already calling the top 3 NFC east teams the top 3 in the NFL period(and the Redskins aren't exactly a bad team) which might just turn out to be true. Things won't get much easier with the AFC east either. We are playing the Patriots at the worst possible time(pissed off after a bye week), the Bills look like they have very few weaknesses aside from youth, the Jets are meh, but Favre has made a career of whooping our ass, and you just don't know which Dolphins team will show week to week.

But with all that said, it feels fucking great to have an offense again. There is no worse feeling as a football fan than to feel like your team has little-no chance of putting up points-- to feel in the depths of your heart that even when your team is driving in the red-zone that they will do SOMETHING to fuck it up. And then then the agonizing feeling of helplessness and sorrow when they actually do. That has been the Niner fan reality the past 3 years, so give us a fucking break.

Right now we have a top 10 NFL offense, the 4th rated passer, and the 5th leading rusher. But best off all I get that OLD feeling. That feeling of confidence that when we do get into scoring position that we actually will.

I feel sorry the Saints, as they are about to experience first hand JT's O-Face.

No, it really isn't. God doesn't give a flying fuck about the San Francisco 49ers, and certainly didn't ensure you came down with a staph infection as part of a greater plan for Creation. Sorry to have to break this to you, Josh, but you have to take responsibility for your own actions.

After seeing the total failure of the Steelers offense (mainly in their ability to pass protect) against the Eagles I have to agree 100%.

The saddest part of that game was that every Steelers fan knew it was over when that Eagles asstard punter punted the ball like 80 yards (it really seemed to go that far). We thought we had a chance from the Eagles 40 yard line to maybe get 3 points, but once we were back inside the 20 it just seemed like the game as over and that was a horrible feeling.

God does care about football. That's the only way to rectify the endless smiting of Lions fans for the past five decades. God hates us.

How else can you explain for the downfall of the Pats occurring simultaneously with the drafting of Big Ben?

Except the Pats beat the Steelers and Big Ben in route to one of their Super Bowl wins.

I mean in general. If you claim that everything that happens is a result of God's plan, then not only seemingly random events but every action you take is also the result of that plan, which is a complete abdication of responsibility.

I never said that He doesn't. Just that He doesn't give a flying fuck about the 49ers. :P

That year Ben also stopped the Pats 20 game winning streak. He did not succeed in his promise to end the Pats reign of terror in his first attempt, but he did so the next year and notice the Pats filthy hands have not touched that sacred trophy since.

And as I prophesized on this forum at that time, his coming signaled the beginning of the end of the Pats. The end was seen when Eli pulled off the upset (I also predicted that they were finished after the SB).

You know, I don't know what else he could do legally to Ben. Not that I put it past him to literally kick Ben while he's down or stomp on him or any sort of similarly dastardly act. This is Bart Scott we're talking about, who bitched about being blocked by a receiver. It's always great when a defensive player, especially one known for head hunting, complains about taking a "defenseless hit."

But let me tell you, if Mendenhall rushes for over 100 in this game, I will be the happiest (and later, the most drunk) man in Pittsburgh, if only for one night. I mean, if they win. Which they will.

Positive thinking.
 
You know I was thinking about people feeling sorry for the Rams, my thinking is being a Falcon fan, I can't feel sorry for any team that has won a Superbowl. Even if the Rams go 0-16 they can still say they have some championships under their belt. There are sorry teams out there that can't say that.

So the only team I can say I for sorry for right now is the Lions. Millen has kept that team in over a half decade of misery.




Quick Note: I'm making this post quickly now while the Falcons are happily 2-1. :D
 
wow. when I read the title I was like "McGahee doesn't need an excuse to get hurt" but now that I read the actual article, that sounds pretty dirty. I wonder what they'll try to pull in cincy this weekend.

also, I'm seriously looking forward to the bengals laughable front 4 vs the steelers offensive line. That should be one of the funniest shows in the NFL. The steelers will try not to block and the bengals will try not to pressure.

Who wins between the movable force and the stoppable object?

That is a tough one.
 
justin smith > jared allen. not only that, but we didn't have to give up any draft picks to get him. i don't know why anyone would say otherwise.

would you rather have:

justin smith outright. same exact stats as jared allen, only he also has an interception and a forced fumble

or

jared allen. less FF's, less interceptions, and it cost you a 2nd round pick (or was it first round? i dont know)

the answer is clear except to vikings fans!

p.s. not only are their stats basically even, but allen has A LOT more help on the line than smith has. we have nothing on that line but smith!

Mostly wrong. Leading by a field goal or two is hardly "dominating," and that was the game you got hit for eleven false start penalties.

And no, that reaction was for the final FG attempt in the 4th quarter. Feely then missed two more in overtime, but without the hilarious illustration of imminent victory collapsing to disappointment.

Naw, same amount of sacks. Smith has an INT and a FF too. His motor rubbed off on the rest of our D and everyone is stepping up. :)

If stepping up is allowing 22 PPG, I would hate to see what it was before the step.

Stats don't always tell the whole story. We are ranked 9th in total defense, and our pass D is ranked 1st in the NFC. So I think were at least a little good, considering the teams we faced are all pass happy teams.

Oh yeah, lol@stats don't matter but using stats to back up my claim.

I'm saying we dominated the game, he denies it, I bring up we had the lead even with having committed 11 false starts. Not so hard to understand.

you're saying the giants dominated and the mistakes kept the game close, you could probably say that of any close game. "Take away those turnovers and the game wouldn't have been close." I understand what you're getting at, and others have said similar things before, I just think it's a bit silly.

You didn't think it was silly last week when you and your Cowboy brethren insisted the Eagles kept it close because of sloppy secondary play and the Romo miscues. I don't see what's so different here.

show me where I said that... you want me to speak out every time a cowboys fan says something silly here?

Personally, I thought the Eagles controlled that game and fell apart in the fourth for reasons unknown (McNabb was not shown on camera throwing up, so I can't be sure of anything).
 
I wonder if McNabb really has asthma as some of the sportsradio people have speculated about in the past.

Sometimes he looks like he is out of breath even in the first quarter.

And what is it with Seahawk fans and arguing about games from years ago?

AGREED. I'm and Eagles fan, and one of my friends is a Rams fan. We watched that week 1 game together and he was yelling at the t.v. the whole game. He kept saying how bad his team was, and I kept reminding him that at least his team has won a superbowl!!!! I did enjoy the win though.:D
