The resurrection of Barry Sanders: A FOF 2K7 Dynasty

[nilodor]

So the goal of this dynasty will be to get Barry Sanders, one of the greatest players never to play in the superbowl, not only to the big game, but to win the big game. We will start off in his rookie season (1989) and go from there.

After making some cuts and moving a few positions around the starters look like this:
http://img119.imageshack.us/img119/6879/lineup89mh4.jpg


Roster Outlook:

Quarterback:
There are 4 quarterbacks on the roster, none of them very good. Hipple is very good at throwing screen and medium passes and that’s it. Gagliano isn’t good at anything but he isn’t bad at anything either. Rodney Peete is a better version of Gagliano, but completely undeveloped and will be playing overseas next season.
Rating: C-

Runningbacks:
What can I say, next to Bo, Barry is the highest rated back in the game today. The only downside is he isn’t the greatest receiver or returner. However his backup, Mel Gray can fill the return void and should be considered a Hesteresq weapon. Tony Paige is an excellent fullback and him coupled with the terrible receivers/passers will dictate a run heavy offense.
Rating: A-

Receivers:
Not good, not good at all. Robert Clark is the only serviceable receiver and he would be a number 3 on most teams, in need of a definite upgrade. The only plus is James Jones is a good tight end. Sounds like we are going to be a lot like Kansas City has been the last few years.
Rating: D

O-Line:
Not a bad unit, definitely in the upper half of the league. The left side of the line is particularly good with Lomas Brown, Andolsek and Glover. There is reasonable depth with Mike Utley and Joe Milincik.
Rating: B

D-Line:
Another solid unit, especially against the run. All three starters are in the 80+ range in run defense, led by second year man Jerry Ball. Eric Williams is the only notable pass rusher of the starters, however Curtis Green, a backup nose tackle is an excellent pass rusher and will replace Ball in the nickel and dime sets.
Rating: B+

Linebackers:
The strength of the defense is here. All of the starters are very good and there is considerable depth. The plethora of talent dictates the use of the 3-4 scheme. All of the starters are proficient against the run and Cofer and Gibson are excellent pass rushers. The only weakness in this unit is none of them are particularly effective in coverage.
Rating: A-

Defensive Backs:
The corners are average at best with Ray Crockett being the top corner. He is a rookie and a lot is expected of him in his first season, although there is a lot of skepticism that he can deliver. On the other side Jerry Holmes is showing his age, but he is still a good man to man cover guy. The safeties are both exciting second year players with outstanding skills. The tandem of Blades and White could be one of the best in the league when they fully develop. There is no depth to speak of at either position.
Rating: C+

Specialists:
Both Jim Arnold and Eddie Murray are in the top third at their position so there are no worries here. Mel Gray is one of the best return men in the game and a lot of excitement is expected from him
Rating: A



Outlook and Gameplan:
Well the offense is OK. If we fall behind in games, there isn’t much chance of a comeback. This team will go as far as Barry can carry it. The gameplan will be to go with a base set as much as possible, rarely spreading out the field and just running the ball till the cows come home. On the defensive side of the ball, the players are best suited to an aggressive man to man scheme with lots of blitzing from the linebackers. The front seven are all very good against the run so opposing quarterbacks beware.

The best case scenario would be a 9-7 season and just sneaking into the last wildcard spot. What is more likely would be a 6-10 season, since there is a lack of stars at key positions and the best players are all very young and inexperienced.

Next Up: Division and League Preview.

[DeToxRox]

As a die hard Lions fan, I'll definetly be reading.

[nilodor]

Division Preview:

Chicago:
Probably the second best team in the league next to San Francisco. They are a similar team to Detroit in that they have a weak quarterback in Tomzack and Harbaugh and don’t have the best receivers. However, while they are the same in style, they are also much better than us at every position. With an especially strong defense that has great depth. They should easily win the division and challenge for the superbowl title. Their best offensive player is Neal Anderson and best defensive player is Richard Dent.

Minnesota:
Another very good team, with not a very good quarterback in Wade Wilson. They do have an excellent runningback in Herschel Walker and a very good offensive line. Defensively they are pretty good, with Chris Doleman generating a great pass rush and an excellent secondary anchored by Audrey McMillian and Joey Browner. They should probably finish second in the division being more experienced then we are, however we should give them a run for their money. Their best offensive players are Randall McDaniel and Herschel Walker and their best defensive players are Chris Doleman and Joey Browner.

Green Bay:
The Packers should be the worst team in the division. They have an aging defense that is past its prime and they do not have many young players ready to take over. The offense isn’t much better. They are led by the Magic Man, a decent offensive line and a pretty good receiving core. The one bright spot is Sterling Sharpe. He is one of the best players in the league and could dominate games. Their best offensive player is Sterling Sharpe and their best defensive player is Tim Harris.

League Outlook:
AFC:
Predicted Division Winners:
North: Cleveland Browns
The Browns are led by Bernie Kosar and are a very cohesive unit with a strong defense and fairly potent offense. They should be challenged by the Bengals, who are led by Boomer Esiason and James Brooks.

East: Buffalo Bills
The Bills sport the conferences most dangerous offense. Led by Jim Kelly the Bills are loaded at every position with Kenneth Davis and Thurman Thomas at running back, and Andre Reed and James Lofton at receiver. The defense is led by Bruce Smith, who should content for league honours as well as a trio of excellent linebackers in Talley, Bennett and Bailey.

South: Houston Oilers
The Oilers have the easiest division with two expansion teams and a terrible Colts team to contend with. Warren Moon should have a huge year and William Fuller will be terrorizing quarterbacks the league over.

West: Denver Broncos
The Broncos are probably the best of a tough division, which doesn’t have a really strong team, but also doesn’t contain a weak team. The Broncos are led by John Elway, who will have to take the team on his shoulders since they don’t have a viable running game. The have a decent offensive line as well as good pass rushers and secondary on defense.

NFC:
North: Chicago Bears

East: Philadelphia Eagles
This should is the toughest division in football. 3 teams could win 12 or more games (Eagles, Redskins and Cowboys). The Cowboys have a strong defense and a young but talented offense with Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin, all they seem to need is a running back. The Redskins only questions come at quarterback with Doug Williams predicted to be the starter. The rest of the team is stacked and should be able to make up for the inconsistent play at the pivot. Finally the Eagles are led by the exciting Randall Cunningham and the all-world Cris Carter. The defense should challenge for the all time sack record with Reggie White, Clyde Simmons and Seth Joyner all wreaking havoc. Also if the quarterback manages to get rid of the ball, an excellent secondary will make completions a rarity.

South: Atlanta Falcons
This is easily the weakest division in the NFC. The Falcons have a decent roster with a strong linebacking core centered around Jessie Tuggle and Aundray Bruce, as well as a good secondary led by Deion Sanders.

West: San Francisco 49ers
The Niners are the most talented team in the league with stars at every position. Between Young and Montana at quarterback, Rice and Taylor at receiver, Charles Haley, Millen, Romanowski, McKyer and Lott on defense, the Niners will be tough for anyone to beat.

Up next, preseason.

[nilodor]

Preseason:

Record: 2 - 2
Notable Injuries:
Mel Gray is probable (2 Weeks) Strained Achillies, he will be inactive because of the high risk of reinjury.

No real notable performances to report.

Up next, regular season.

[nilodor]

Week 1
Home vs Seattle (We are favoured by 6) (-6)
Passing: Hipple 9-29, 78 yrds, 1 TD
Rushing: Sanders 22-122
Receiving: Jones 5-37

Well this game was entirely dominated by the defense. They recorded 7 sacks, an interception and force 5 fumbles (4 turnovers), which was nice because Hipple was terrible and we managed to fumble the ball 3 times (+3 margin). So we managed a victory eventhough we were outgained 279 to 211.
Final: 28 – 3 W

Injuries: Lost backup corner Terry Taylor for 3 weeks with a strained calf muscle.

Week 2
At Chicago (1-0) (+4)
Passing: Hipple 14-23 149
Rushing: Sanders 17-65
Receiving: Clark 5-76

Another poor offensive showing, with the Lions getting outgained 416 to 210 yards. Mike Tomczak had a field day, throwing for 305 yards and 3 touchdowns. This game was totally opposite to last game in that we couldn’t get a lick of pressure on the quarterback, attaining only a single hurry and sack. Looking over the film, Hipples lack of ability to complete short passes is really giving us problems as Barry is getting us in decent second down situations but Hipple is making bad throws. He’s got two more weeks and then some changes could be made.
Final: 30-3 L

Injuries: Nothing major, just a few bumps and bruises and Mel Gray will return this week

Week 3
Vs Green Bay (0-2) (-4)
Passing: Hipple 17-26 150
Rushing: Sanders 22-54 2 td
Receiving: Johnson 3-47

Another game, another time getting torched in the yardage department 408 – 240. However this week, like week one we won the turnover battle (+5) and managed to generate a lot of heat on Blair Keil with 4 sacks and 7 hurries. Mel Gray also proved his worth, returning the opening kickoff for a touchdown. I’m beginning to feel that we’re a lot like the Bears over the last few years.
Final: 27-17 W

Injuries: Same as last week, we have 7 players with some kind of injury.

Week 4
at Los Angeles Rams (3-0) (+2)
Passing: Hipple 16-31 115 1 td, 1 INT
Rushing: Sanders 22-66 1 td
Receiving: Clark 4-42

I have been hoping for a 300 yard plus total offense game and it turns out I set my sights way too high, I should have been hoping for a 200 yard game this week. We managed a whopping 172 yards on offense, while surrendering 422 yards to the Rams. Jim Everett went 31-50, 367 yards but with two costly interceptions. Henry Ellard was the main recipient of the love catching 14 balls for 189 yards. However we got 75% of our offense in the two first drives, which both resulted in touchdowns. Then we got just enough yards every possession to pin the Rams deep. The Rams would drive the field, just outside of field goal range and then either turn the ball over or have to punt it away, lather, rinse, repeat. Also Hipple’s only interception came on a hailmary to end the half.
Final: 14-10 W

Up next 4 week team recap

I bet you're going QB shopping in the offseason :D

[nilodor]

I bet you're going QB shopping in the offseason :D

Hopefully I can find a worthwhile one. The 1990 draft is the infamous QB class of Jeff George, Andre Ware, Scott Mitchell and Neil O'Donnell, maybe John Friesz can come to our rescue? Looking at the upcoming free agent market the best rated QB is...Eric Hipple, doh! He is followed by Chris Chandler and Jim McMahon. I've been trying to make a play on one of the San Fran QB's but I get the fan favourite/dead cap room message so they don't want to deal. Unfortunately hopes may rest with the development of Rodney Peete who is a 10/49 right now. I was kind of hoping we would be 1-3 right now so I could justify the move to Peete but it is a tough move to make when Kyle Orton, er Eric Hipple is winning games for you.

[nilodor]

Week 5
at Minnesota (2-2) (+3)
Passing: Hipple 15-24 168
Rushing: Sanders 36-169 2 td
Receiving: Stanley 2-44

Hooray, we managed to get over the 300 yard plateau and actually beat the other team in yards as well (357-251). This game followed the same plan, force some turnovers, don’t turn the ball over, get a lead and put heat on the quarterback. We were able to get up early and take Herschel Walker out of the game and Wade Wilson was unable to step up and beat us. Special teams played a huge role again with Jim Arnold averaging 50 yards a boot and allowing no return yardage, while Mel Gray had a good day returning kicks. Defensively we forced 2 interceptions as well as blocking 3 passes, getting a sack and 5 hurries.
Final 23-10 W

Week 6
vs Buffalo (4-1) (+1)
Passing: Hipple 20-23 322, Peete 9-15, 98, 1 td
Rushing: Sanders 15-53 2 td
Receiving: Clark 8-147

Hopefully we didn’t use up all of our offense this week. Not only did we surpass the 300 yard barrier, but we surpassed the 400 yard barrier as well, amassing a total of 433 yards. Unfortunately we allowed the Bills to gain 400 yards themselves, while not forcing any turnovers. There are two big stories here, Buffalo got out early on us, where they were up 20-14 at half and 37-17 at the end of the 3rd quarter. This totally negated Barry Sanders and forced Hipple to try and stage a comeback. One thing I will give him is he did a good job but we are not going to win games coming from behind very often. The defense held Thurman Thomas to 35 yards on 19 carries but Jim Kelly went off throwing for 344 yards and 4 td’s. Also Rodney Peete replaced Eric Hipple midway through the 4th quarter maybe because the game was out of reach. It was kind of odd because Hipple was in the middle of leading a scoring drive and was just replaced by Peete at the 11 yard line. It doesn’t appear that he got injured either. Maybe he just had enough of Bruce Smith, who was crushing Hipple all day (4 sacks )?
Final: 37-27 L

Injuries: Lost starting FS William White for a week

Week 7
at The Swamps of Jersey (Jets) (2-4) (-3)
Passing: Hipple 21-40 165
Rushing: Sanders 17-78
Receiving: Clark 6-59

There is the Hipple Lions fans have come to love in a Matt Millen sense of the word. It was another maddening game of throwing into double coverage and missing wide open receivers. Nothing major to report in this game, we managed an epic 222 yards of offense, while surrendering 311 to the Jets. Al Toon had a big game with a 101 yards and 2 touchdowns. Freeman McNeil also broke the 100 yard barrier.
Final: 28-7 L

Week 8[B]

This was Hipple’s best performance yet, oh wait we didn’t have a game, still Hipple’s best performance yet.

[B]Week 9
vs Atlanta (3-4) (-6)
Passing: Hipple 20-31 164
Rushing: Sanders 21-75
Receiving: Jones 3-48

Hipple’s greatest strength is also his greatest weakness. The best part is he gets a consistent amount of yards every week, the bad part is it is only 165 yards every game. Again we follow the same basic formula, force 3 turnovers, don’t turn the ball over ourselves, win the game, and marry the cheerleader. Jim Arnold had another big game negating Deion Sanders return ability. It is kind of a downer when your MVP race is between your kicker and your punter.
Final 23-17 W

Injuries: We loose 3 starters for next weeks tilt with the Niners. Dennis Gibson for a week with a concussion, and Mel Gray and Eric Williams for 3 weeks each with foot ailments.

Up next midseason report.

Standings
http://img394.imageshack.us/img394/9537/standings89midzv9.jpg

This team is really winning with smoke and mirrors. The only things we do well are forcing turnovers and not turning the ball over ourselves. Hipple is in the bottom quarter of the league as far a quarterbacks go, but he also doesn't get much help from his receivers. I have the sinking suspicion that we are going to end up 8-8, out of the playoffs, without a good draft pick.

[Izulde]

...How the hell do the 1989 Patsies have that record? It should be Buffalo in first, the Dolphins in second or vice versa.

[Travis]

Go Oilers go! Just like, don't choke in the playoffs again okay guys!

I'm all for you getting Barry a ring, but if this also see's Moon get one, all the better :D

[nilodor]

Week 10
vs San Francisco (5-3) (+2)
Passing: Hipple 14-23 163 1 td
Rushing: Sanders 17-107
Receiving: Clark 4-53

This wasn’t that surprising of a result. The Niners record had been deflated because both Young and Montana missed 4 games and Bono couldn’t quite carry the load. The Niners scored 5 touchdowns in their first 6 possessions to end any hope we had at winning this game. Hipple appears to be due for a 162 yard game next week, let’s hope not. This was Barry’s first really good game and most of his yards came during the first quarter while there still was a game to be played. Steve Young threw for 297 yards with Rice and Taylor both getting around 80 yards receiving. Roger Craig had a good game as well netting 144 yards.
Final: 35-10 L

Week 11
at Arizona (4-5) (-2)
Passing: Hipple 17-21 133 1 td
Rushing: Sanders 27-133 2 td
Receiving: Clark 3-41

Possibly the dullest game to watch with only 486 yards total offense combined. We forced Timm Rosenbach into 2 turnovers and just killed them on first and second down. Their average yards to go on 3rd down was 11.2, which is quite astounding. Jim Arnold out dueled Tom Tupa in the most exciting matchup of the day. Another good day for getting after the quarterback with 8 sacks, 4 hurries and 5 knockdowns.
Final: 27-0 W

Week 12
vs Miami (6-4) (-2)
Passing: Hipple 25-40 219 1 int, Peete 3-4 19 1 td 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 15-59 1 td
Receiving: Clark 7-92

Hipple broke the golden rule today, don’t turn the ball over. Our quarterbacks managed to throw 2 interceptions to Jarvis Williams that effectively ruined the day. The defense did a good job limiting Dan Marino to 53% passing with 245 yards. The defense was also unable to get any heat on Marino, which could have given us a chance this game. Frankly I was pretty surprised to be favoured in this matchup and apparently rightfully so.
Final 28-17 L

Week 13
at New England (8-3) (+5)
Passing: Hipple 18-35 173 3 td 3 int
Rushing: Sanders 27-178
Receiving: Jones 5-55

The Patriots surprising season has been led by the fairly Hipplesq rated Steve Grogan, who in his 15th season is ripping up the league. He is the 4th best passer in the league right now and is just shredding defenses. Grogan didn’t disappoint this game throwing for 3 touchdowns and 261 yards. Hipple had another poor game throwing 3 picks, which really killed us today because we actually outplayed New England. On our 3rd last drive of the game we were up 14-13, going in for a score and Hipple got picked off, leading to a score. We managed to score again with 2 minutes left to go up 21-20 but the Patriots went 67 yards in 2 plays to take the lead for good.
Final 28-21 L

[nilodor]

Week 14
vs Minnesota (2-10) (-5)
Passing: Hipple 12-22 139 2 int
Rushing: Sanders 14-52
Receiving: Clark 4-59

With both wildcard teams at 9 – 4 we really needed to win this game and we responded with our worst offensive performance of the season. We managed a 70’s Buccaneers style 140 yards of total offense. This number was helped by the fact that the Vikings got 12 sacks, with 6! of them, one short of an NFL record, coming from Chris Doleman. Other than that, there is nothing much to report. It is now time to see if we can get some development of Rodney Peete as the free agent and draft quarterback market looks pretty bare.
Final: 17-3 L

Week 15
at Green Bay (4-9) (-2)
Passing: Peete 19-30 160
Rushing: Sanders 19-70 1 td
Receiving: Jones 6-57

Well we are now officially eliminated from playoff contention with this gem of a game. Rodney did not bad for his first start, hopefully he can give us slightly better output the rest of the season. Eventhough we managed to force 2 turnovers we still couldn’t get that close to winning this game. Pretty disappointing really, we were 6-4 with a shot at making the playoffs, now we’re just stinking it up. We managed only 216 net yards today, just sad really.
Final: 28-13 L

Week 16
vs Chicago (10-4) (+5)
Passing: Peete 13-28 117 2 int
Rushing: Sanders 22-74 1 td
Receiving: Clark 5-81

Another anemic day on offense, I’m beginning to think that we have a disorder, eventhough Peete through 2 picks we came out +1 in the turnover battle. However we managed only 208 yards on offense, which ruined a solid day by the defense (286 yards allowed.
Final: 21-20 L

Injuries: FS William White is done for the year with a severe hamstring pull.
Week 17
at Dallas (10-5) (+4)
Passing: Peete 15-24 106 1 td
Rushing: Sanders 21-93 1 td
Receiving: Clark 4-51

So this is one of those games where you kinda want to win because well, that’s why you play the games, but you kinda want to lose because we could be picking top 6, but by winning you’re probably out of the top 10. So this was a typical game for us, give up 404 yards, while only gaining 177 ourselves. The turnover battle was even, all in all this should spell a loss right? Wrong, somehow, we managed to pull an upset, in a game that had no meaning for us but could get Dallas the 5 seed. We only managed to get 1 sack, force 1 turnover and we win. The reason why you ask? Simple Mel Gray went nuts, 32 yards per kick return, 45 yards per punt return, including a touchdown and we just kept the Cowboys out of the endzone.
Final: 24-23 W

A few big surprises, 1 Buffalo was a wildcard team, despite being 14-2, thanks to Cleveland and Tennessee both going 14-2. Tennessee's second round loss wasn't too surprising considering Indy is terrible and Jacksonville and Houston are expansion teams. The Niners were limited by injuries to their quarterbacks, or else they should have mounted more of a challange.

CURSES! Foiled again!

I think one stat that really stands out for me is we averaged 55.875 plays per game while our opponants averaged 60.625. Pretty much a drive a game, I think there are definately some holes that need to be addressed in the offseason, but is the talent going to be there? Stay tuned.

Looking at our free agents I'm going to try and resign everyone above Palmer + Jones, unless they are demanding mad money. Hipple is worth keeping around because he is a mentor, but he is only going to be a backup this year so if he wants alot of money he is toast. On the plus side if I do let Hipple go, Gagliano is also a mentor.

[nilodor]

I also put the tag on Eric Williams because he is too good to lose.

Looking at the roster my wishlist is going to be
1. Quarterback
2. #1 Receiver
3. #1 Corner
4. #2 Receiver
5. Dime Back
6. Backup Runningback (Mel Gray is way to injury prone to back up Barry)

[nilodor]

Here are the top players at those positions (Free agents)
Quarterback Cur/Fut
1. Hipple 46/46 (Wonderful)
2. Eason 41/41
3. Doug Williams 37/37
4. Mark Malone 36/36
5. Phil Simms 36/36

Receiver
Largent 55/55
Carlos Carson 49/49
McConkey 48/48
Jessie Hester 46/46
Gary Clark/John Taylor 45/45
Derek Hill 43/43

Corner
McKyer 71/71
Mike Richardson 64/64
Kerry Glenn/LeRoy Irvin 55/55
Mike Haynes 41/41

There aren't any QB's worth going after but I'm definately targeting a couple of receivers and corners, my list is Largent, Clark, Stephone Paige, Mike Haynes and Mike Richardson.

[nilodor]

So of my targets I managed to sign Spencer Tillman as a backup back, Steve Largent and Stephone Paige. No luck at signing corners, so hopefully the draft can give me a little love.

[Ragone]

Wayne must go!

[nilodor]

Wayne must go!

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Ford family fires no one.

[nilodor]

Draft:

So my goal is to get a quarterback, receiver and cornerback as well as some depth at fullback and that’s about all I really need. Unfortunately for me, my late season victory cost me dearly as I’m picking 16th instead of top 10.

Lamar is the best player in the draft, although he is not a ton better than James Francis. This is a surprising pick for a team with a quarterback need and I would have thought they would have gone with Jeff George, hmm kinda sounds like 06.
2. Jacksonville – QB Jeff George –
Probably the best of the field general bunch, although not without question marks. None of the quarterbacks scream franchise qb, but he should be a good pro.
3. Carolina – QB Mike Buck -
Same deal as Jeff, pretty good pivot, just not a world beater, although all of the top qb’s combine score were troublesome and I expect some busts from the passers taken.
4. San Diego – QB Peter Tom Willis –
Same deal as before
5. Baltimore – WR Terrence Mathis –
Looks like an absolute stud, should be very productive for years to come.

Rest of the first round

Notable later round picks
SFO – Emmitt Smith (2-25) – Didn’t show up to the combine and looks like a total boom, should fill the void left by the release of Roger Craig
DAL – Cortez Kennedy (2-23) – Same as Emmit, should be a gooder

My Draft
Note I traded ILB Niko Noga and (2-15) for (2-1) so I could pick up CB Eric Davis
1-16 Ricky Proel WR – Wake Forest – 26/48
2-1 Eric Davis CB – Jacksonville State – 19/30
3-14 John Randle DT – Texas A&M Kingsville – 19/39
4-13 Troy Taylor QB – California – 14/43
5-12 Larry Centers FB – Stephen F. Austin – 14/25
6-16 Chris Oldham S – Oregon – 6/19
7-15 Ben Jefferson C – Maryland – 17/32

Team Preview

Quarterback
Well Gagliano is a nice, average player, with good accuracy but he is bad at hitting his receivers in stride and finding receivers who change their routes. Rodney Peete, while raw, shows a lot of promise, can make every throw and there is hope he can be a difference maker in the future. Future is the key word in the last sentence; realistically all we can hope for is a performance similar to last season. Gagliano will mentor Peete this season.
Rating: C-

Runningbacks
Barry Sanders is now fully developed and frankly amazing. 1500 yards should be a real target, I would say 2000 could be a real target but we’re not going to be leading enough for him to get his carries. Mel Gray is return man supreme and made a huge difference in the game he played. Spencer Tillman is a good backup, who can spell Barry for a short time. Paige is a tremendous blocker and a competent receiver out of the backfield and that is really all he needs to do.
Rating: A

Receivers:
This position has been upgraded since last season with the addition of Proel and Largent. It’s still about middle of the pack but it’s better than bottom of the barrel. If the tight ends Jones and Centers could be combined into one player, he would be the most dominant tight end ever, unfortunately they are two people with Jones being the blocker and Centers being the receiver.
Rating: B

Offensive Line:
The starters are all pretty good and the unit as a whole is solid with no glaring weaknesses. That being said there are no real stars either. There is reasonable depth here, especially at guard, however if one of the tackles goes down it could be big trouble.
Rating: B+

Defensive Line:
This is a very strong unit that can wreak havoc against the run and the pass. Williams, Ball, Brooks and Ferguson are all excellent against the run. Williams, Green and Randle are all excellent against the pass. This line should be able to terrorize offenses on all downs.
Rating: A-

Linebackers:
This is another solid, deep unit. Cofer is an excellent pass rusher and can cause a lot of damage. With Speilman moving into the starting lineup the unit is better against the pass then in 89, while still maintaining its strength against the run. Again all that is missing here is a do all superstar.
Rating: A-

Defensivebacks:
Another unit where upgrades were needed in the offseason. Unfortunately we were unable to land any free agents to help solidify the corners. The only good thing is Crockett is a year older and Davis has shown signs he can be a competent number 2. However expect another long season for the corners. The safeties on the other hand are fantastic. Blades and White form one of the most dominant combos in the league. Griffin is a tremendous nickel back and is a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks as shown in the 8.5 sacks he got last season.
Rating: B+

Specialists:
Very solid unit, there were games where Murray and Arnold were the best players on our team, which is sad in a way. Gray, when healthy, is a game changing return man.
Rating: A

Overall: There is a lot of talent on this roster, unfortunately we are missing a leader at quarterback and this team lacks cohesion (2nd worst in the league after the expansion teams). The talent is here to challenge for a playoff spot but it seems a 500 season is more likely. It should be another up and down season.

Preseason
We went 1-3, no major injuries, good news.

Regular Season
Week 1
at Minnesota (0-0) (+2)
Passing: Peete 17-31 126 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 23-125
Receiving: Stanley 3-37

Ahh, this is a performance I’m used to. 201 yards total offense and my personal favorite drive, after throwing an interception on our 40 the defense forces a 3 and out and the Vikings punt the ball for a touchback and it is now the 2 minute warning. Then we proceed to get sacked 3 times in a row, give up the safety, kickoff to the Vikings, who promptly go 2 plays 71 yards for a touchdown. There was no answer for Herschel Walker today as he went 21-173 with 3 touchdowns. The only positive is we won the turnover battle again.
Final: 29-12 L

Injuries: James Jones – out indefinitely with Impaired Vision

Week 2
vs New England (0-1) (-7!)
Passing: Peete 15-24 205 1 td
Rushing: Sanders 15-82 1 td
Receiving: Clark 3-68 1 td

We are heavy favourites going into this contest, have the writers not been watching our games? I’ve got to imagine that there was some mob betting scandal on this one. Again we win the turnover battle, but again a star lights us up, maybe fries us up is a better term this game as Irving Fryar goes 8-120 with 1 touchdown.
Final: 23-17 L

Injuries: Team MVP P Jim Arnold is out 3 weeks with a sprained foot, get well soon buddy!

Week 3
at Dallas (1-1) (+4)
Passing: Peete 24-30 236 2 td
Rushing: Sanders 27-74 1 td
Receiving: Clark 6-64 1 td

We had an offensive explosion this week, amassing 326 yards of total offense, too bad Dallas managed 463 yards of total offense, led by Troy Aikman’s 306 yards passing. No matter Dallas kicker Roger Ruzek shanked all 4 field goal attempts to seal the victory for the Lions. In an unrelated story Ruzek’s family were returned unharmed after being kidnapped at the start of the week.
Final: 24-21 W

Week 4
at New Orleans (0-3) (+1)
Passing: Peete 16-25 161
Rushing: Sanders 21-115 2 td
Receiving: Largent 4-79

You would think being +2 in turnovers, keeping Swilling, Mills and company to 1 sack we would win the game right? Wrong, Mark Malone goes to town on us for the tune of 306 yards and the Saints running backs average 7 yards a carry today. Good god, defense is supposed to be our strong suit, I’m thinking if this continues a coaching change may be in the works.
Final: 26-23 L

Week 5
Bye, thank god, we’ll get our MVP back after this week.

[nilodor]

Week 6
at Chicago (2-2) (+8)
Passing: Peete 19-35 153 1 td 3 int
Rushing: Sanders 22-142
Receiving: Largent 4-49

Chicago has the best defense in the league and a decent offense. The 2 games they have lost have been strange, turnover filled affairs. If you looked at the total yards (270-316), you would think this was a close game and you would be wrong. Again following the recipe of last season, lose the turnover battle, lose the game. Today we got shelled in the turnover battle and we got annihilated. We turned the ball over 4 times, which really hurt us defensively as well as eventhough they were playing well, they couldn’t hold up against the short field. Barry had another solid game and is really cementing himself as one of the best backs in the league. Rodney “Cullpepper” Peete has now upped his fumble total to 9, this is not good folks. Fans may soon be waxing poetic about the days of Hipple.
Final: 34-7 L

Injuries: Of course they strike the position with the least depth, LT Lomas Brown was lost for 3 weeks.

Week 7
vs Tampa Bay (2-4) (-1)
Passing: Peete 20-27 190 1 td
Rushing: Sanders 36-109
Receiving: Clark 4-60

The 35000 in attendance witnessed a complete and utter demolition of a team today. Thankfully for us, it was the Bucs who had a horrible day. 188 yards total offense, and 5 interceptions by their quarterback, wait for it, wait for it, Eric Hipple!. Yes the Hipple had a whopping 29.2 qb rating today. The defense also held the rushing tandem of Rozier and Hinsley to 26 yards on 10 carries. Tampa never made it to the other side of half today, let alone the red zone as we crushed the opposition.
Final: 26-0 W

Injuries: FS James Griffith (super sub) is out 4 weeks with a hyperextended knee

Week 8
at Atlanta (4-3) (+6)
Passing: Peete 16-41 148 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 9-55 1 td
Receiving: Largent 5-76

About all I have to say about this outing is yuck. The defense played well holding Atlanta to 291 yards. It would have been nice if the offense had made the trip from Detroit as well, amassing only 171 yards. Peete has shown flashes of ability but the questions linger about whether or not he can be a superbowl winning quarterback. Peete’s two fumbles proved costly as both led to Falcon touchdowns and put the game out of reach.
Final: 33-10 L

Week 9
vs Carolina (3-5) (-2)
Passing: Peete 16-22 160 2 td
Rushing: Sanders 36-179 1 td
Receiving: Largent 6-117 1 td

Today the good Rodney showed up, managed the game well and we won, now if he can just be more consistent the rest of the season, I’ll be happy. 4th overall pick Mike Buck had a long day throwing 2 picks and losing a fumble before being pulled late for Bobby Hebert after the game was out of reach.
Final: 30-13 W

[nilodor]

Week 10
vs Green Bay (3-5) (+2)
Passing: Peete 16-33 193 1 td 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 28-116
Receiving: Clark 2-38

This was one of those games where you try and lose, but you’re winning, so then you try not to lose and you lose. Make sense? We were doing well, up 13 midway through the 3rd quarter, having survived 4 fumbles (2 lost) up till that point. Then a long Kubiak bomb is hauled in by Sterling Sharpe (the bane of our existence) and then Keith Woodside punches one in, up 6. Then we get the ball back and go Zabransky style, Peete throws the pick, pushes the guy out at the 5, Woodside touchdown, game over. Bah!
Final: 21-20 L

Week 11
vs Minnesota (5-4) (+2)
Passing: Peete 8-15 135 2 td 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 31-190 (7 runs of 10 yards or more, very maddenesq)
Receiving: Clark 6-91 1 td

This was definitely an interesting game, we punted only twice, while the Vikings punted 5 times, however they outgained us 436 to 330 yards. Mel Gray had a great day returning a kick for a touchdown and averaging over 30 yards a return (kick and punt). Peete had a decent game, not that he did much, only throwing the ball 15 times. The score could have been much more lopsided except the Vikings scored 3 touchdowns and a field goal in the 4 red zone visits, while we only managed 1 touchdown and 4 field goals on our red zone visits. I think we find it too easy to score in close, we prefer more of a challenge. This looks like a repeat of last season, where we’re not bad enough to get a good pick, but not good enough to make the playoffs.
Final: 40-23 W

Week 12
at Buffalo(8-2) (+12)
Passing: Peete 15-24 209 2 td 2 int
Rushing: Sanders 28-120
Receiving: Largent 5-111

So the vegas people don’t give us much of a chance eh? Well that really pissed off Eddie Murray. Murray connected on 3 field goals over 40 yards. Also our line was able to withstand the leagues top pass rush of Smith, Talley and Bennett, allowing only one sack. The most amazing stat of the day, Rodney Peete out dueled Jim Kelly. I’ll just let that sink in for a moment. Our defense held Kelly to 220 yards and forced 2 picks. As a whole the defense played very well and the offense did just enough to seal the victory. Somewhere, someone got very rich on this game, point shaving scandal, I think so.
Final: 23-7 W

Week 13
vs Arizona(3-8) (-2)
Passing: Peete 14-29 174 2 td 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 23-111
Receiving: Clark 4-86 1 td

So how would the team respond after a fantastic victory that lifted the franchise into playoff contention? How did you think we’d respond, remember momentum is tomorrow’s starting pitcher and Rodney isn’t exactly the guy you want to be putting out there every day. This was a total sham of a game, we force 5 turnovers, and allowed 227 total yards, while only turning the ball over once. However we couldn’t string together any first downs and Jim Arnold had a very busy day, punting 8 times. LeRoy Irvin provided a big spark by returning the one turnover 88 yards for a score, then a couple of missed tackles by Ray Crockett led to long passing touchdowns, and that was all she wrote.
Final: 28-20 L

[nilodor]

Week 14
at Miami(10-2) (+11)
Passing: Peete 21-48 239 1 td 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 19-105 2 td
Receiving: Clark 4-72

What a wonderful division to draw, we can’t get the one with two expansion teams, nope. Give us the one with two Hall of Fame quarterbacks in their prime. We couldn’t hope for a result similar to last time, could we? The short answer is, well no. However we did make them work for it, forcing Dandy Dan into overtime, where it took 3 possessions a piece to find a winner. Marino threw for 351 yards and two touchdowns, but at least it was on 54 throws. Now if he only had a running game, where have I heard that before? We played the Dolphins pretty tough, the only sore spot, besides losing was Peete’s poor completion percentage of 44%. It’s not like we are calling lots of low percentage passes, he just ain’t making them. Clayton and Duper both had great games that saw both eclipse the century mark. On a positive note, Barry is now over 1500 yards for the season.
Final: 27-24 L (OT)

Week 15
vs Chicago(7-6) (+3)
Passing: Peete 11-27 88 1 td
Rushing: Sanders 18-92
Receiving: Clark 3-37 1 td

Chicago leads the division, a win here for the Bears would almost wrap up the title for them and a loss for us would officially eliminate from the playoffs. And what would you know, Peete turns in his worst game of the season and the Lions are out of the playoffs. In Peete’s defense receivers dropped 3 balls, the Bears defense had 8 sacks, 7 hurries and 7 knockdowns but we don’t like excuses. No turnovers, just 10 punts and a safety, good day all around.
Final: 22-7 L

Week 16
vs Jets(4-10) (-5)
Passing: Peete 12-23 126 1 td
Rushing: Sanders 36-169 1 td
Receiving: Clark 2-33 1 td

We are favoured in a game, late in the season, silly Vegas. We maybe they weren’t so crazy after all. The stats seemed pretty even between the two teams, both within 5 yards of 310 yards total offense, we were +1 in the turnover battle but the key stat was their starting position was their own 17 yard line, ours was our own 41 yard line. God bless Jim Arnold and Mel Gray.
Final: 30-8 W

Week 17
at Green Bay(5-10) (+1)
Passing: Peete 14-23 138
Rushing: Sanders 24-78
Receiving: Largent 6-64

The battle for the bottom of the division, who will emerge victorious? I think you know the answer to this, of course we would win this game because who likes a top 10 pick when you’re trying to get a top notch quarterback? Really, who wants rebuilding to be easy? We emerge victorious in this field goal fest, good grief. Well that caps another mediocre season, it’s obvious that Peete isn’t the answer, the question is can we get anyone better? BTW, yes Sterling had another huge game, 10 receptions for 130 yards, did you expect anything less?

What do you mean Peete can’t go again, didn’t he look like a rookie last year, come on guys you’re killing me. Oh all right we’ll send Eric Davis instead. Philistines.

up next free agency and the draft (There’s a certain guy from Southern Mississippi that I might have a chance at getting)

I hate Buffalo :mad: This universe is supposed to be BETTER than real life.

The sad thing is they are only getting better as Thurman Thomas looks like he has finally developed enough to start ahead of Kenneth Davis. We can always hope for some variety of impropiety and a boat in lake ontario.

[Travis]

CURSED BILLS!

Moon will get it done, one of these years.

Honest.

[nilodor]

Free Agency
Our needs in order are
QB
WR
CB
Looking at the free agent market, the cubbard is bare, there are only 2 guys who would fit our needs, both corners, both old. Everson Walls and LeRoy Irvin. The qb class consists of Schoeder, Blackledge and DeBerg, not exactly what I'd hope for in a free agent class.
We manage to sign Irvin, he should be a starter at right corner and will bring some experience to our young corners.

Draft:
Well at our positions of need there are not many corners, lots of good receivers and 1 good (theoretically) quarterback, Brett Favre. His ratings are terrible (I'd guess he is around a 40 overall) but his combine scores are very good and my scout seems to think he is very underated. The big question is where is he going to go. In previous incarnations of FOF I would have guessed I could get him at 12, even though he is the best QB available (unless you think Zolak will be better) ((Acctually Zolak was my favourite tecmo qb to get, don't ask)). However after the latest patches, I think the cpu does a much better job at finding sleepers and picks them much closer to where they should go, well lets see what we can do.

[nilodor]

Draft:
1 - Jacksonville - Joe Sims - T – Nebraska - 40/66
2 - Tampa Bay - Ricky Watters - RB – Notre Dame - 44/66
3 - New Jersey Jets -
The fans are chanting, J-E-T-S, JETS, JETS, JETS! They can feel it, finally the reign of terror of Ken OBrien is over, new blood is coming to town, the commissioner steps to the podium, the Jets fans are silent. With the 3rd pick in the draft, we have a trade, the Lions select *barely audible above chorus of boos* Brett Favre, quarterback, Southern Mississippi.
3 – Detroit – Brett Favre – QB – Southern Mississippi – 14/34
4 – Houston – Randall Hill – WR - Miami - 48/52
5 – Baltimore – Ted Washington – DT – Louisville - 53/65

Rest of Lions Draft
Lions trade QB Troy Taylor to Houston for 4th round pick in 93
Lions trade DT John Randle, ILB Dennis Gibson, 1-12, 1st round 92 to Jets for 1-3 and 4th round in 92

1-3 Brett Favre – QB – Southern Mississippi – 14/34

:eek: You traded Randle and Gibson?

You better hope Favre turns out as good as he did in real life or you'll be lynched. :D

:eek: You traded Randle and Gibson?

You better hope Favre turns out as good as he did in real life or you'll be lynched. :D

Giving up Gibson hurts more than giving up Randle, we have alot of depth at linebacker and Jerry Ball in the middle of the line so 3-4 seems pretty reasonable. Curtis Green is a great pass rusher so Randle was a luxury as his run defense was pretty crappy (almost a clone of Green). Gibson was young and our best backer with Cofer but I didn't want to give up more picks so he was all I could get rid of. Next years crop of QB's isn't very promising with the highlights being Jeff Blake. That number 1 could be pretty high next year so the Jets may be able to get something good for it but I had to get Favre, the defense is very good and the rest of the team is solid, all we need is a pivot. Besides the Detroit faithful wouldn't lynch me, the Ford's don't fire anyone and Millen isn't dead yet, maybe this season they'll stage a walk out, I'm trembling in my recliner.

Team Preview

Quarterbacks:
As of right now Peete is better than Favre but we know he is never going to be the answer at quarterback so Favre has to be the starter. We were going to take lumps this season anyways, might as well be with an eye to the future. Gagliano is a good mentor and should aid in Favre’s development.
Rating: C+

Runningbacks:
Barry is an unstoppable force, injury is the only thing that can stop him. Well injury or getting down so much we can’t run the ball anymore. Mel Gray is still a very dangerous return man, but he leaves something to be desired as a runner. Tony Paige is one of the best blockers in the league and will continue to lead the way for Barry. Depth is a concern at all of the positions.
Rating: B+

Receivers:
With the addition of Herman Moore and Keenan McCardell the Lions actually have quality threats. If Largent had remained with the team this group would be scary. Well maybe not this year, but they should form a good young nucleus with Favre and Barry. At tight end James Jones is a good blocker and decent receiver, while converted fullback Larry Centers is all receiver.
Rating: B+

Offensive Line:
The line is solid but not spectacular at all positions. Harvey Salem is the only liability but that is only in the passing game. Unfortunately this group is aging and may not be able to stick together for that much longer. There are 2 or 3 good years left here at most.
Rating: B

Defensive Line:
Eric Williams is still a dominant end and can play in any situation. The other end position is more of a question mark. Brooks is a dominant run stopper, but offers little of a pass rush, while Ferguson is showing signs of age and will be a backup this season. Jerry Ball is an elite run stopper in the middle of the line and this season will be counted on more in passing downs as Curtis Green will replace Brooks instead of Ball on passing downs.
Rating: B+

Linebackers:
Even with the loss of Gibson this unit is the deepest on the team. There are no real standouts however and a star would make this unit on of the best in the league. Cofer is very good at putting heat on the quarterback and Spielman is coming into his own as an all around linebacker. Karpinski will be counted on to deliver on all of the potential that has been associated with his name.
Rating: B+

Secondary:
The safety combo of Blades and White is one of the best in the league and are now entering their 4th season together. They are in their primes and should be dominant this season. The corners are either very young (Crockett, Davis, Lofton) or very old (Irvin). All are serviceable, but none can be relied upon to shut down a top receiver, like say Sterling Sharpe. Depth is a concern at corner but Oldham, Griffin and Hanks provide excellent depth at safety.
Rating: B

Specialists:
Murray and Arnold remain reliable, battle tested weapons and should each have another strong season. Gray is a very dangerous return man and could steal a couple of games this season.
Rating: A

Outlook:
More of the same, except it looks like the quarterback situation is settled. Unfortunately for Lions fans results probably can’t be expected this season. It looks like another season around 500 is in the cards.

Week 1
at Bears(0-0) (+1)
Passing: Favre 18-25 182 1 td 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 24-121 1 td
Receiving: Moore 8-90 1 td

I think I can handle this kind of game. The first of the Favre era starts with a 300 yard plus offensive showing. Unfortunately we were on the wrong end of the final score but we’re taking baby steps here. The one interception occurred at the end of the game and the completion percentage was a welcome change.
Final: 24-17 L

Injuries: Jones out 2 weeks

Week 2
vs Raiders(1-0) (-5)
Passing: Favre 18-26 174 1 td
Rushing: Sanders 13-52
Receiving: Stanley 3-57

As soon as I speak about how proud I am of our team they go out and hang 222 yards on the Raiders. This is just killing me, we’ve had what? One 400 yard game in our history, we need to do better. On the plus side we held the Bionic Man Bo Jackson to 58 yards. However Jeff Francis (who?), Tim Brown and Willie Gault went nuts to the tune of 291 yards. Marcus Allen also hurt us averaging 34 yards a return.
Final: 23-20 L

Week 3
at Panthers(1-1) (-4)
Passing: Favre 15-26 157 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 26-88
Receiving: Centers 3-42

Really a terrible game, we outgained the Panthers 300 to 211 and were even on turnovers. However, our one interception came in the red zone and was returned for a touchdown and on the ensuing drive we had a holding call on the kick return, so we started at the 10, then a sack, then a holding call in the end zone, safety. The other two times we made it to the red zone, we managed only field goals. The Jets may be really, really happy this season .
Final: 9-6 L

Week 4
vs St. Louis(2-1) (-3)
Passing: Favre 17-24 165
Rushing: Sanders 31-108 2 td
Receiving: Clark 4-50

Somehow we are still favoured in this game, despite being 0 and 3. I’m still thinking there is some kind of point shaving scandal going on here. Another good defensive effort as we limited the Rams to 260 yards and put an end to Jim Everett’s hot streak (he had gone 300+ yards the last two weeks). This game was the opposite of the last one, both of their two 10+ play drives ended with fumbles in the redzone, and both of those fumbles led to Lions touchdowns.
Final: 20-0 W

Week 5
Bye, the most interesting thing is that the Niners are still winless despite having the best offense in the league, led by Steve Young, Emmitt Smith and Jerry Rice. Their downfall is their defense is by far the worst in the league, giving up over 30 points per game and over 400 yards a game. They kind of remind me of recent Bengals teams.

[nilodor]

Week 6
at Green Bay(2-3) (-2)
Passing: Favre 21-31 214 2 td
Rushing: Sanders 31-143 1 td
Receiving: McCardell 8-88 1 td

Ahh our nemesis Sterling Sharpe, what can we hold him to today? The answer, a respectable 84 yards on 5 catches. Not bad, not great, but better than before. Unfortunately for us we should have been more focused on Keith Woodside who had two receptions for 177 yards and 2 touchdowns, ouch. The one on 3 and 13 from the 4 was an absolute backbreaker. I’m starting to become concerned about the Gibson trade in that we may need to find a new SILB. Karpinski shows a lot of potential, but he has been slow to develop and we have been gashed in his area a few times. If I don’t see improvement by midseason, there may be some position switching on the horizon.
Final:28-24 L

Week 7
vs San Francisco(0-5) (-8)
Passing: Favre 19-30 189 1 td 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 31-206 1 td, Favre 2-12 2 td (selfish jerk)
Receiving: McCardell 5-61 1 td

Like I said before, the Niners are the most exciting team in the game today. Everyone of their games are absolute shootouts, and this was no different. 4 lead changes and 856 yards combined later, it was one hell of a game. Steve Young managed to throw for 384 yards, with his favourite target Jerry Rice amassing 184, however Emmitt was held in check only gaining 27 yards on 17 carries. On the good side of the ball Barry went to town, gaining over 200 yards and was a 3rd down conversion machine, converting 8 3rd downs.

Week 8
at Seattle(5-1) (+5)
Passing: Favre 13-24 165
Rushing: Sanders 19-66 (1 fumble of his was recovered by Keenan and returned for a score)
Receiving: McCardell 3-62

I have officially had enough, 7 tackles in 6 games is not a good total for a starting middle linebacker, so Jimmy Williams has been moved from backup outside linebacker (where he was quite unhappy) to starting inside linebacker (where he is quite undersized). The result, well Williams had half as many tackles in one game as Karp had in 6 so that’s good news, well the only good news today. A not very talented, overachieving Seahawks team just killed us. We managed 205 yards, no turnovers (while forcing one) but just couldn’t get anything going. John L. Williams and Jim McMahon had good days and just methodically pounded us to find blue paste. Interesting side note, I think we had the least number of possessions I have ever seen with 8. Seattle didn’t have any big plays, just really, really long drives.
Final: 31-7 L

Week 9
vs Chicago(7-0) (+11)
Passing: Favre 14-18 182 1 td
Rushing: Sanders 25-114 1 td
Receiving: Clark 4-69 1 td

Well the 72 Dolphins now have one less team to worry about, leaving only Travis’s Moon led squad undefeated at the midway point. This game was won because Mike Tomczak is a bum and Mel Gray is a god. OK so Mike isn’t a bum but his fumble and interception paved the way to two Lions touchdowns and Mel had a prodigious day returning kicks, amassing almost 300 return yards (oddly no touchdowns) as we cruised to victory today. Hopefully we can find a way to beat some teams we should beat, instead of 11 point favourites, not that beating 11 point favourites is a bad thing, I’d just like to win when we’re favoured every once and a while.
Final:27-13 W

Week 10
at Arizona(3-5) (-1)
Passing: Favre 15-23 135
Rushing: Sanders 31-141
Receiving: Sanders 5-56

There were some weird statistics in this game. Our average yard to go on 3rd down was 10.7 yards, eventhough we had a good day running the ball. This game was also a field goal battle between Eddie Murray and Al Del Greco, with Murray coming out on top. Ray Crockett added a late fumble return for a score to widen the final margin. I’m somewhat perplexed about our teams struggles in the passing game. Eventhough we have a quality quarterback and receivers, we are 29th in the league in passing. My best guess is the cohesion factor is looking large here (backfield cohesion of 66) and also inexperience is hurting us as well. My personal feeling with these historical starts is it is hard to get a bad team good quick because of two things, I think the draft files I have created have less talent then we are used to, I feel it is a more accurate talent level but I’m sure others opinions would differ, second, contract lengths reflect how long a player stayed with a team. For example Barry Sanders was on the Lions until 2000 so his contract length in 91 is 7 years (the max), because of this it is harder to build up cohesion (and consequently get good players in free agency) because less players are hitting the open market.
Final: 16-6 W

Week 11
at Minnesota(4-5) (+2)
Passing: Favre 15-20 111 2 td
Rushing: Sanders 31-150
Receiving: Moore 3-41 1 td

The defense did a great job today, limiting one of our NFC Norris division nemeses Herschel Walker to 54 yards (big victory if you have been reading along). As a whole we held them to 196 yards and eclipsed the 300 yard (354) barrier ourselves. The odd thing was this was all done without any turnovers, which is normally a hallmark of a strong defensive effort. Eventhough Favre is a rookie, he is a definite upgrade to Peete/Hipple and I have confidence that him with Barry, Herman and Keenan we will have quite the potent offense for years to come (although the lack of yardage is a concern). Remind me to do a comparison of the trade last season to see the final result. And on the plus side we have hit 500, hooray, lets hope we don’t finish 7-9 again!
Final:20-14 W

Week 12
at Kansas City(5-5) (+1)
Passing: Favre 9-15 74 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 37-93
Receiving: Clark 3-48

Man what a snoozer, 372 combined yards total offense today. It was really windy, maybe that had an effect. The touchdowns today came from good ol Mel Gray (69 yard punt return) and import LeRoy Irvin with an interception return. Really nothing to report, biggest news would be we went sub 100 yards passing and Neil Smith was a total non factor (1 tackle, 2 assists). The only other news is the 76 Bucs can pop the cork after a win by the hapless Houston Texans.
Final: 17-3 W (6-5)

vs Philadelphia(9-2) (-1)
Passing: Favre 18-34 174 1 td 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 14-34 1 td
Receiving: McCardell 5-60 1td

How are we favoured in this game? Seriously it doesn’t make sense. Philly has Randall Cunningham (playing upto his Tecmo lore BTW with 111 yards rushing and 216 yards passing), Cris Carter, Keith Jackson, Eric Allen, Jerome Brown, Clyde Simmons, Reggie White, Andre Water, Eric Swann oh and my favourite kicker Donald Igwebuike. Anyways you get the picture, we got smoked. Stop favouring us vegas, you’re killing us. BTW Travis, Tennessee is still hot at 12-0! Speaking of them Warren Moon is having the most amazing season, 68.5%, 3366 yards, 31 touchdowns and 1 interception, crazy.
Final: 41-14 L (6-6)

Passing: Favre 17-26 193 2 td 3 int
Rushing: Sanders 27-133 1 td
Receiving: Jones 4-63

Man was this a worrisome game. I watched the game on solevision and we were in big trouble early and I mean Quinn Early (sorry bout that), who scored 2 early touchdowns after Favre threw interceptions on our first two drives, deep in our own territory. Luckily for us, Peter Tom Willis was in a giving mood and snuffed out two more certain scoring drives with picks of his own. LeRoy brought another pick back to the house to seal the game, he is turning out to be quite a good investment. Penalties hurt as we went Raider style 9-117 yards. Tennessee keeps up its winning ways with a miracle comeback (down 31-24 with 5 minutes left) to remain undefeated.
Final: 31-14 W (7-6)

Week 15
vs Green Bay(5-7-1) (-3)
Passing: Favre 21-37 199 2 td 2 int
Rushing: Sanders 9-53
Receiving: Clark 4-77 1 td

****, Favre killed us today, maybe some kind of karma for keeping him from the packers? We held Shape in check, well for us anyway as he *only* had 88 yards on 8 receptions, mind you 2 were for touchdowns. Favre’s two picks proved very costly as both cost us sure scores and both resulted in packer touchdowns. Bah! For those keeping track at home Tennessee moved to 14-0 with a 31-10 victory. Side note, we are 1 game back of the Giants for the final playoff spot after some injuries have them on a 3 game skid, not sure how the tie breakers pan out, needless to say we need to win out.
Final: 35-14 L (7-7)

Week 16
at Denver (8-6) (+3)
Passing: Favre 20-34 188 1 td
Rushing: Sanders 20-115 1 td
Receiving: Clark 4-48

****, again, this time 4 fumbles from Favre killed us, 4, and all led to Bronco touchdowns. Bah, John Elway does not need our help killing us, Hipple maybe, Elway no. Bronco end Ron Holmes picked up 3.5 sacks (and 3 forced fumbles today) to make me weep. On the plus side the Giants lost, however they no longer hold the final playoff spot. The Niners have stormed back to over take them (we hold that tiebreaker), going 8 and 1 over the last 10. So basically we need to win, and have the Niners and Giants lose and I think we are in. Tennessee wins again, with a date in Indy all that stands between them and immortality.
Final: 28-16 L (7-8) If we go 7-9 again I will kill someone.

Week 17
vs Minnesota (5-10) (-4)
Passing: Favre 20-26 212
Rushing: Sanders 33-137 1 td
Receiving: McCardell 6-76

So we need a victory and we just crushed the Vikings. We outgained them 389 to 199, forcing two turnovers and limiting Walker to 41 yards. Joey Browner had 15 tackles for the Vikings, that was the only interesting performance this week. The more interesting games were the Niners at home to the Cardinals (4-11), the Giants at the Redskins (11-4) and Tennessee at the Colts (7-8).

The Lions are in the playoffs, the Lions are in the playoffs, somewhere Wayne Fontes and Matt Millen are crying. Wait, wait, the Niners are in the playoffs, wha? ****, the Niners get in because we lose the 3 way tiebreaker with the Giants and Niners, then the Niners win the head to head with the Giants eventhough we win head to head with the Niners. Humbug, ****, ****. We lost out on the strength of victory tiebreak, even though ours was pretty good. Good news for Tennessee, Buffalo due to some injuries missed the playoffs so their nemesis isn’t there to thwart them this time.

Up next will be the offseason, at least we didn't finish 7-9. I am kinda chived about that whole missing the playoffs tiebreaker thing, but if we didn't want the tiebreaker we should have beaten Green Bay. Not a bad season, we really need the offense to come together before the defense gets too old, I think we have 2, maybe 3 years tops before we need to do some retooling on defense.

[nilodor]

Off Season
Retirements
Ken Dallafior
LeRoy Irvin, the revolving door at corner just keeps spinning

Sending to Summer League
Brett Favre, hope you found someone to mow the lawn, cause you’re going to Europe.

Free Agency
Needs:
4th WR
SILB
3rd CB
4th CB

There isn’t really a whole lot of talent available in the market. This season I get shut out in the LB market but manage to pick up Hart Lee Dykes, Mark Duper and Lewis Billups.

Draft: With our first round pick going to the Jets it will be a pretty quiet draft.
2-19 CB - Jimmy Spencer - Florida 21/33
3-18 RB – Edgar Bennett – Florida State 21/30
4-11 WR – Milt Stegall – Miami, Ohio 21/45
4-17 LB – Ed McDaniel – South Carolina 16/46
5-16 DT – Santana Dotson – Baylor 20/37
6-19 C – Jeff Christy – Pittsburgh 13/14
7-18 FB – Tommy Vardell – Stanford 21/51
Overall: A-

[nilodor]

Now lets take a look back at the Favre trade to see what I have given up:

The Trade:
Detroit Sends:
1-12, 1st in 92, John Randle and Dennis Gibson
Jets Send:
1-3 and 4th in 92

So lets do the easy part
Jets Send:
1-3 Brett Favre – Has all the makings of a franchise quarterback, the question remains will he be a good starter or a great starter.
4-11 Milt Stegall – Looking good for a number 3 receiver

Detroit Sends:
John Randle – Not a good fit for the Jets as they use the 3-4, ratings are 35/40
Dennis Gibson – 61/61 – A stud in the middle, has played very well
1-12 -> Shipped to NE for 1st in 92 and 3rd in 91
3rd in 91 – Tracy Simien – WLB – 17/37 DNP – 3rd on depth chart
1st in 92 from NE – Turned out to be the 2nd overall pick, and they traded it back to NE for 2-92, 4-94 and 6-94, which is insane because there were good players on the board and the got terrible value and are not in cap trouble.
2 – 92 – Joe Bowden – WLB – 37/51 – Solid player, should start for years to come
1st in 92 from us – Turned into the 16th overall pick, which they selected George Koonce – WLB – 27/40, will be the backup WLB to Bowden.

So if the Jets hadn’t of made that final deal to NE, giving up the second overall pick (traded during the draft) they could have gotten a really good player and probably came out ahead on this deal. As it stands, it was a pretty even deal, provided Favre keeps moving towards being a franchise guy. If he tops out, we’re losers, in more ways then one.

Team Preview

Backfield:
This really is Favre’s show now. He had a decent first season but now he needs to show some signs of greatness. Moore and McCardell are talented receivers and Barry Sanders is essentially a jet powered eel out of the backfield. Edgar Bennett should provide a little more production out of the backfield when compared to previous backups, although he still isn’t that great. Larry Centers is taking over full time at tight end, he is a terrific receiver but an iffy blocker. This unit is still very young and don’t know each other that well, their cohesion is the only thing holding them and this team back.
Grade: B

Offensive Line:
This well oiled machine is back together for another year, although this may be the last one for starting tackle Harvey Salem. His pass blocking numbers have continued to suffer and it is now only a matter of time before Boatswain will take over. The rest of the line is solid, but unspectacular. They have done a good job of keeping the quarterbacks upright and provided big holes in the running game eventhough they have ranked near the bottom in adjusted line yards the past couple of years.
Grade: B+

Defensive Front:
This is still a solid unit led by Eric Williams, who has 29 sacks over the last 3 years, which is quite remarkable for a 3-4 end. Jerry Ball is the anchor in the middle and is a dominant run stuffer. Kevin Brooks is the starting end and is also good against the run, however he comes out of the game for pass rush specialist Curtis Green on passing downs. The front 3 is getting older and starting to decline in ability, they probably only have 2 or 3 good years left. The linebacking core is a deep unit led by 10th year man Mike Cofer and 5th year man Chris Spielman. Spielman has really improved his game over the last few seasons and is now an every down player and will be a force to come in next few years. Ed McDaniel is starting next to him in the middle and is expected to struggle while he gets a feel for the speed of the pro game, however he is the future of this group. The outside guys are still solid but getting up in age with Cofer in his 10th season and Jamieson in his 9th. They don’t have too many years left.
Grade: A-

Secondary:
This unit is a tale of two groups, one the safeties have been solid for years, and will be solid for years to come. The other, the corners, a group in transition, which finally appears to be settling down with Crockett and Davis starting at the corners. For once there is some depth at corner and hopefully these guys can play upto their potential and limit opportunities for opposing offenses.
Grade: B+

Specialists:
Murray and Arnold have given several great seasons, but both are on the downsides of their careers. The question is how many good years do each of them have left. Return specialist Mel Gray is a difference maker in the return game. He is a threat to score anytime he touches the ball.
Grade: A-

Projected Record: 9-7

[nilodor]

Week 1
vs Green Bay (0-0) (+1)
Passing: Favre 10-20 92 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 29-133 3 td
Receiving: McCardell 3-38

Well Favre’s second season came in with a whimper, a serious whimper. First play of the game, crowd is jacked up, excited for what the new season will bring. Favre drops back to pass, Moore is wide open and interception, touchdown. If it wasn’t for Barry we’d be in deep s**t. The defense had a good day today intercepting Jay Schroeder (who I used to call Jay Shreddies as a kid). Mel Gray had a good day returning kicks, excluding the 3 fumbles. Actually the more I think about it, this game was pretty crappy all around except for Barry, lots of balls hitting the turf, Sterling going over 100 yards, again, good ol Lions football, except for the whole average starting on your own 40 bit.
Final: 24-16 W

Week 2
vs Jacksonville (0-1) (-1)
Passing: Favre 14-20 119 1 td 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 36-184 1 td
Receiving: McCardell 5-38 1 td

Maybe it’s something about Barry. If you have Barry you can’t throw for more yards than he rushes for. It’s killing me, I’ve tried different coaches, different game plans, let the computer game plan, got good receivers, just not getting good results. The only thing I can think of is since our cohesion is so bad, it is really effecting offensive production.
Final: 21-11 W (2-0)

Injuries: Brooks – Out 3 weeks with strained ab

Week 3
vs New Orleans (1-1) (-4)
Passing: Favre 20-28 222 1 td 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 22-98 1 td
Receiving: Moore 8-93 1 td

We’re getting back to that old 89 Lions style game, where we win some giant turnover fest and just squeak enough offense out to win the game. Kubiak had more passes defended then completed today, plus threw 3 picks and fumbled twice. Also I’m predicting 2000 yards this year for Barry. That’s 125 yards a game, I’ll keep you updated on his progress.
Final: 18-15 W (What kind of score is this, it’s like one of those scores you draw for some pool) (3-0)
March to 2000: 415 yards 138 ypg

Week 4
at Dallas (1-1) (E)
Passing: Favre 20-24 194 1 td
Rushing: Sanders 31-182 1 td
Receiving: Proehl 4-55

This game was no where near as close as the final score indicated. Two Favre fumbles gave Dallas all of their points (one returned for a touchdown, the other within field goal range). Other than that the defense held Aikman and Irvin in check. All they need is a running back because Reggie Dupard and Rueben Mayes aren’t cutting it. Wonder how that Emmitt guy is doing in San Fran? Answer, 1400 yards and 10 touchdowns a year. Let’s all shed a tear for the Cowboys.

Final: 17-10 W (4-0) Have we ever started this good?
March to 2000: 597 yards 149 ypg

Week 5
at Philly (2-2) (-2)
Passing: Favre 19-35 138 1 td 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 21-86 1 td
Receiving: Moore 3-41

Bah, this was one of those games that great teams win and well, we proved today that we aren’t a great team. Here is the play by play.
1Q: 06:28 DET - James Jones 15 pass from Brett Favre (Eddie Murray extra point)
1Q: 05:16 DET - Barry Sanders 9 run (Eddie Murray extra point)
2Q: 08:45 PHI - Donald Igwebuike 21 field goal

4Q: 10:15 PHI - Keith Jackson 8 pass from Randall Cunningham (Randall Cunningham pass to Cris Carter for conversion)
4Q: 02:16 PHI - Wes Hopkins 76 interception return (Donald Igwebuike extra point)
Turnovers and that safety just killed us. When you contain Cunningham (164 yards) and Cris Carter (4 rec-15 tar 55 yards) you should win, but they just want to make my hair fall out. As a side note the minister of defense now has 7.5 sacks this season and 52 in the last 4 years.

Week 6
vs Giants (3-1) (-3)
Passing: Favre 20-37 193 2 int
Rushing: Sanders 16-86 1 td
Receiving: Moore 4-56

All we need is for Favre to have a decent game, manage the game and not turn the ball over. Simple, right? Wrong, this is going to be one of those years, I can just feel it. Nothing really notable today, just a lot of bad offense and field goals and two Eric Davis interceptions in a losing cause.

Week 7
vs Chicago (4-1) (+2)
Passing: Favre 24-41 223 1 td 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 23-133
Receiving: Centers 3-61

Zzzz, huh what, it’s still going? Really? God, someone score , anybody score. This game may have been outscored by a Tigers, White Sox game. With a combined 21 punts and 24 first downs it was a snoozefest. Favre was sacked 9 times with Trace Armstrong netting 4 and Dent adding 2 of his own and if it wasn’t for a Tom Waddle fumble in overtime, this game would have ended in a tie.
Final: 10-7 W (5-2)

Week 8
at Green Bay (2-5) (-8)
Passing: Favre 16-26 213 3 td
Rushing: Sanders 25-152
Receiving: Moore 6-103 2 td

This game sure didn’t start off very promising, the first two Packer drives resulted in touchdowns, while our first two drives resulted in no first downs, a fumble and a punt. Again we were falling into the trap of one of the coaches skimming points for his bookie. Then a god wearing a number 20 jersey arrived and led the Lions on two long drives, capped by Herman Moore touchdowns to draw the score even. From there the Lions controlled the pace and not even Sterling Sharpe himself could sway the final result (although he sure did try, going over 100 yards again against us).

Week 10
vs Washington (4-4) (-5)
Passing: Favre 18-24 136 1 td
Rushing: Sanders 43-195
Receiving: Jones 2-34

We absolutely dominated possession in this game, holding the ball for almost 2/3’s of the game as well as running 24 more plays than the visiting Redskins. The defense held the Skins to 7 first downs and only 147 total offense, which unfortunately for Eric Dickerson was fewer yards than Barry amassed.
Final: 20-7 W (7-2)
Run to Eric: 1249/138.8/2220

Week 11
at Minnesota (3-6) (-5)
Passing: Favre 17-25 250 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 21-86 1 td
Receiving: McCardell 4-81

Eddie Murray let us down today, he shanked two first half field goals which were the difference in this tilt. Herschel Walker continued to annoy me, rushing for 140 yards and a touchdown. The passing defense had another strong day holding Wade Wilson to 140 yards and forcing an interception. We could drive the ball, but once we got across half the drives just stalled and Jim Arnold would wind up pounding the ball into the endzone.
Final: 13-10 L (7-3)

Week 12
vs Indianapolis (6-4) (-2)
Passing: Favre 18-25 239 1 td
Rushing: Sanders 20-115 2 td
Receiving: McCardell 6-107

Speaking of Eric, guess who was in the Colts backfield? None other than the man who’s record is going to get smashed by Barry, Mr. Eric Dickerson. Eventhough Dickerson is in his 10th year, he can still be a dangerous weapon. Today was no different has he averaged 5.4 yards per carry. Doug Williams also had a good day throwing for 289 yards. However most of these yards didn’t come until the end of the game when it was already in hand. That being said the 91 and 88 yard touchdown drives were impressive and definitely put a scare into Lions fans. On another positive note, we are now guaranteed a 500 finish as this marks our 8th win. With our weak division we have a chance at a first round bye, which while not deserved, would be welcome none the less.
Final: 24-19 W (8-3)
Hunt for Eric: 1450/131.8/2109

Week 13
at San Francisco (9-2) (-3)
Passing: Favre 28-39 245 2 td
Rushing: Sanders 18-104 1 td
Receiving: Moore 8-93 1 td

I still don’t understand how we are favoured. Everytime I look at the Niners roster I get chills down my spine. Young, Rice, Smith, Taylor, Sikahema. Wait, Sikahema? Yes today Vai was an absolute thorn in our side rushing for 119 yards on 17 carries after Emmitt was injured early in the game. Steve Young also had a monster game throwing for 390 yards with his favourite target Mr. Rice gaining 155 of those, along with 3 touchdowns. For all of that offense, we managed to keep it close and weather the early flurry of touchdowns (4 on their first 5 possessions). Then the game turned into a heavyweight bout with both teams trading scores until we were up 3 with 1:05 remaining. However some of that Montana magic had rubbed off on old Steve and he led the Niners into field goal range with a 3 play 61 yard drive. Matt Stover drilled the field goal with 6 seconds left on the clock to send the game to overtime, where the Lions never touched the ball and good old Vai capped a exciting afternoon.
Final: 37-31 L (8-4) OT
The Chase: 1554/129.5/2072

Up next the stretch run, can we get a first round bye? Will we make the playoffs? Will Barry become the single season rushing leader? All this and more as the 92 season wraps up. Stay tuned!

Week 14
at Houston (4-8) (-7)
Passing: Favre 10-18 123 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 27-131 3 td
Receiving: Moore 3-49

The Texans got all they could handle with our runningbacks today. If it wasn’t Barry running the ball down their throats, it was Mel Gray, who returned the opening kickoff and another kickoff for 99 and 98 yard touchdowns respectively. This game was never close despite Randal Hill’s best efforts (7-88 1 td). Here is Mel’s kick return line for the day:
Detroit Ret Yards Avg TD

Week 15
vs Minnesota (5-8) (-8)
Passing: Favre 13-21 103
Rushing: Sanders 26-139
Receiving: McCardell 4-30

We finally welcome back Mike Cofer as he took forever to recover from his injury and he did well in his return with 3 tackles, 2 assists and a sack in a strong defensive effort. The Vikings we held to 161 yards and on of our nemeses Herschel was held to 61 yards. Our offense didn’t fair much better than the Vikings, except for one Barry Sanders that is. Two games to go and he is right there with Dickerson, however I expect a tough test next week in Tennessee. Who knows, maybe Favre will outgain him ;)

Week 16
at Tennessee (10-4) (+3)
Passing: Favre 19-29 200 3 td 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 30-135
Receiving: McCardell 5-51

This is the litmus test game. So far this season we have a great record, but we haven’t really played anybody, except Philly and they killed us. One of the best quarterbacks in the league is at the helm of a team that went undefeated the previous season. The game starts out OK as we are able to drive the ball into Tennessee territory but Eddie is unable to convert the long field goal. Our next opportunity we manage to drive the ball the length of the field for a touchdown and after that we trade field goals to end the half. The second half is just as solid as the first, we are able to consistently move the ball and manage to best Tennessee today. The big reason was the defense. Warren Moon had one of his worst days going 15-44 222 with 1 td and 2 int, while Favre had a pretty good game. With one game to go we are tied with Philly (we lose the tiebreak) for the second first round bye (San Fran is 13-2), so we need a victory in Chicago next week (who are fighting for their playoff lives) and we need Philly to lose at home to Washington.
Final: 24-10 W (11-4) Clinched Division Title, we’re going to the playoffs!!!
RBR: 1959/130.6/2089 Needs 147 yards to break record

Oh injuries from week 16, Gizmo Williams is out 3 weeks and Santana Dotson is going on IR.

[Travis]

Fantastic job so far this season. It's also great to see all the long time CFL'ers getting another shot at doing something in the NFL (though none seem to really be seizing that opportunity just yet).

Good luck in the playoffs (unless you face Ten...)!

Week 17
at Chicago (9-6) (-1)
Barry needs 147 yards to break the record, lets see what happens. Because we are shallow journalists we will skip the bears possessions, in search of fluffier news.

Drive ends with a Murray fg, 27 yards to go. Eventhough Chicago has been able to move the ball they haven't turned it into points, which is good because if we were losing we wouldn't be pulling an OJ to get Barry the record.

1-10-CHI28 (4Q: 02:42) Barry Sanders ran a trap outside the left tackle for 21 yards. Tackled by S Shaun Gayle. Key block delivered by Kevin Glover.

It's the record, the game is stopped, there is a smattering of clapping and booing in Soldier field as one of their bitter rivals has broken a major record (wonder how they will feel when he goes after Walter's big record?) Still they respect Barry Sanders the man, regardless of the colour on his back. Eric Dickerson has flown out after his Colts win earlier that day to witness the assault on his record. What a great day for Barry and the Lions.

Wild Card
vs Seattle (10-6) (-6)
According to the preview we are either tied or better at every position except on special teams. We are also ranked higher in most statistical categories except for our 32nd in pass defense. This stat is misleading though since we are second in quarterback rating allowed. The Seahawks are also last in turnover margin. Hopefully we can give the fans a little somethin, somethin.
The game started off with short drives for each team followed by booming punts that backed both offenses back deep. On our next drive Favre completed two long passes to Barry and Proehl to set up a Sanders rushing score. On the following drive John L. Williams ate up a lot of clock as he never ran for less than 3 or more than 6 yards on a 19 play 71 yard drive, which ended in a McMahon to Fenner touchdown. After that though our offense never got going again with 5 consecutive punts to close out the half even after gaining great field position on a William White interception. John L. led another long touchdown drive before the half and McMahon led one of his own and we were down 21-7 at recess. The second half started better as we were able to sustain a drive and net a field goal to shrink the deficit to 11 but it was not to be. Eventhough the defense held the Haws to 55 second half yards the damage was done and the offense could never mount a sufficient enough drive to produce anymore points disappointing the home crown.
Final: 24-10 L (12-5)

This was quite the game with the score 21-17 Philly at half time, then neither team could move the ball close enough to score until Kosar led a 84 yard touchdown drive with under two minutes to go. Randall led the Eagles back within field goal range with 2 second on the clock after two quick strikes to Cris Carter, but Igwebuike shanked a 40 yard field goal (wonder if it was wide right?) to seal the win for the Browns. I wonder if Elway didn’t come along if the Browns would ever have left Cleveland?

At the end of this season I will do a five year retrospective on the 89 draft, our performance vs actual and maybe a couple other things.

[nilodor]

Free Agency
After looking at who I could get in the draft (none of the top receivers will be available when I pick, although I think a certain gap toothed DE may slip to my spot) and looking at who is available in free agency I decided to go big again.
Trade
Philadelphia gets
FL Herman Moore 55/55 Should be a starter in Philly for years to come
NT Santana Dotson 25/37 Creeping, should be a solid starter in a couple of seasons
2(29) 1993 Draft Pick
2nd Round 1994 Draft Pick

Detroit Gets
FL Cris Carter 78/78 who signs a 5 year 27.48 million dollar extension, this should be interesting

[nilodor]

Targets
So we’re kissing that caproom goodbye this year with hopes of getting over the hump, we’re not totally jobbed here though and should still be able to resign key guys (Favre and Barry) in the future.
LT Steve Wallace
RT Howard Ballard
Kiss that extra cap room goodbye, Boatswain and Brown have been shaky but if we don’t land either Wallace or Ballard, we’ll still be ok.
K Scott Norwood
Go Karma Go
CB Kevin Clark
Return maven

[nilodor]

Results
LT Steve Wallace – Goes to Atlanta after they offered big bucks which I didn’t get the chance to match (5 years 26 million)
RT Howard Ballard – Signed 4 years – 16.4 million eventhough there we better offers on the table (5yrs 22 million)
K Scott Norwood – Signed 3 years – 3 million bye bye Easy Eddie
CB Kevin Clark – Signed 2 years – 930K (vet min for 2nd season)

[nilodor]

Draft
1-29 Lincoln Kennedy – LT – Washington – 22/54 (I thought I would have a chance at Strahan here but he went 23rd overall)
3-28 Darrien Gordon – CB – Stanford – 20/35
4-20 Barry “After Dinner” Minter – OLB – Tulsa – 14/31
4-29 Curtis Conway – WR – Southern California – 13/32
5-28 George Teague – S – Alabama - 16/44

Detroit Lions Roster, Scout Overview

Player # Pos Start Exp Current Estimate Future Estimate Cntrct
Favre, Brett 4 QB QB 3 52 64 3 yrs
Peete, Rodney 13 QB 5 26 32 1 yr.
Testaverde, Vinny 19 QB 7 21 25 1 yr.
Favre is continuing to progress. His stats were pretty good last season but I am
hopefull that a key aquisition will bump up his yards total because we're not going
to be competitive throwing for 125 a game.

##Dykes, Hart Lee 89 SE 5 29 36 1 yr.
##Conway, Curtis 82 SE 1 15 32 4 yrs
In a second straight year of big trades we have brought in what should be a key piece
to the puzzle. Cris Carter is a stud and hopefully will be able to dominate games and
really help Favre progress. Barry is still the best in the game. Hopefully that huge
season last year didn't take a big toll on him. The depth is pretty good at receiver
but there isn't really any help for Barry from the backups.

Brown, Lomas 72 LT 9 44 44 3 yrs
Ballard, Howard 67 RT RT 7 66 66 4 yrs
Boatswain, Harry 69 RT 3 33 38 1 yr.
The O-line is solid, Lincoln Kennedy should step in and be a starter for 10+ seasons.
The signing of Ballard is a pretty big addition to one of the better performing lines
in the league, big things are expected from these big guys.

Arnold, Jim 15 P 11 66 66 2 yrs
Norwood, Scott 5 K 9 83 83 3 yrs
The specialists were starting to show their age, so Norwood was brought in to solidify
the group. The retirement of Mel Gray is a huge loss and he singlehandedly won some
games when nothing else was working. Kevin Clark should be a good replacement but he's
no Mel.

Jamieson, George 94 WLB WLB 10 56 56 2 yrs
Tiggle, Calvin 90 WLB 3 19 32 2 yrs
The front seven remains largely unchanged, which is a concern since this is the oldest
unit. Kevin Brooks and Curtis Green rotate at end with Green taking over on passing
downs. This is still a solid group but they only have a couple more years together at
a good level.

Crockett, Ray 30 LCB LCB 5 56 56 4 yrs
Gordon, Darrien 36 LCB 1 21 36 4 yrs
Billups, Lewis 45 LCB 8 34 34 1 yr.

##Oldham, Chris 35 SS 4 12 28 2 yrs
White, William 42 FS FS 6 62 62 5 yrs
Teague, George 46 FS 1 18 41 3 yrs
This group is still in transition. Eric Davis should be a big star in the secondary and
Crockett has looked good. The safeties are very solid and there is decent depth. All in
all this looks like it could be THE season.

Week 1
vs Minnesota (0-0) (-13)
Passing: Favre 13-16 197 3 td
Rushing: Sanders 39-152
Receiving: Carter 2-50

-13 are these guys insane? Since when have we covered that kind of spread? Well the answer is since now. Big games all around, forced 3 picks from Carlson, held Walker in checkish and had a solid effort offensively. All in all a good start to the season.
Final: 34-10 W (1-0)

Week 2
at Pittsburgh (1-0) (-8)
Passing: Favre 13-23 119 1 td
Rushing: Sanders 28-103 1 td
Receiving: Sanders 6-22

You know when I said we wouldn’t be able to replace Mel Gray. Apparently Kevin Clark didn’t get the message. He not only brought a punt back, but also a kickoff back to help overcome a shaky offensive performance to crush the Steelers. This was a pretty ugly game offensively for both teams with a total of less than 400 yards combined.
Final: 31-7 W (2-0)

Week 3
at San Francisco (2-0) (-5)
Passing: Favre 15-22 234 4 td 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 20-46
Receiving: Carter 4-102 1 td

This is the big one, the litmus test. San Francisco is probably the best team in the league, even though their recent playoff bouts haven’t shown it. They have an excellent quarterback and phenomenal wideouts, plus a great running game and it showed today as they hung up 424 yards compared to our 267. Steve Young attempted 57 passes, completing 34 of them for 347 yards, a lot of them to a Mr. Rice, who caught 11 for 150. Bill Goldberg put a lot of heat on Favre, sacking him twice. However all that was for not as if we gained a first down we scored a touchdown today. We managed 4 long drives, all resulting in touchdowns and turned two turnovers into very, very long field goals. Cris Carter didn’t catch many balls, but when he did he made them count going for over 100 yards on only 4 grabs. Big win today, big win.
Final: 34-24 W (3-0)

Week 4
at New Orleans (1-2) (-8)
Passing: Favre 25-37 318 1 td
Rushing: Sanders 25-106 4 td
Receiving: McCardell 5-97 1 td

Finally, the offense said to the D, it’s okay boys we got this one. No turnovers for anyone today, nothing special about the special teams, just our offense marching up and down the field for many, many scores and New Orleans punting a lot. Trent Green relieved Steve Bono who went 2-11 and had a decent day going 22-33 for 212 yards but he couldn’t lead the Saints to any scores as we just blew them out.
Final: 41-17 W (4-0)

This has been a great start to the season, the big questions, can our big guns stay healthy and can the D keep it up the rest of the way. Stay tuned.

Injuries: Darrien Gordon is out 3 weeks with a foot thing + lots of guys beat up but not out.

Week 5
Bye
*Note I had a computer malfunction and lost the last 2 weeks. The results were the same, just not quite as promising.

Week 6
vs Chicago (3-1) (-9)
Passing: Favre 13-25 117 1 td
Rushing: Sanders 25-133
Receiving: McCardell 7-50

Man whenever we get together it’s just a terrible game. 500 yards total offense combined match with 18 punts equals one dull game. Jerry Ball had a big and I mean big 33 yard fumble return and Norwood pulled what I hope isn’t foreshadowing by shanking the extra point wide right. Nothing else interesting to report.
Final: 13-10 W (5-0)

Week 7
vs Tampa Bay (3-3) (-9)
Passing: Favre 24-33 254 3 td
Rushing: Sanders 27-143 1 td
Receiving: Carter 5-92 1 td

Guess who is quarterbacking the Bucs? Our old pal Eric Hipple. Lets just say the crowd wasn’t very supportive of their ex starter and our defense wasn’t to happy to see him either, forcing 2 fumbles, sacking him 5 times and forcing him from the game late with an arm injury. Ricky Watters had a good day against us but the Bucs got down so much, so soon that he didn’t get to make a huge impact. Pretty good effort all around as we just clobbered the Bucs.
Final: 31-6 W (6-0)

FB Tony Paige is out 3 weeks with an upper body injury.

Week 8
at Atlanta (2-5) (-13)
Passing: Favre 21-34 238 1 td
Rushing: Sanders 19-79
Receiving: McCardell 3-77

We caught the Falcons at the right time as a lot of their big guns are injured. Deion looks like he’s coming back this week but Clyde Simmons, Michael Strahan and Quinton Coryatt are all out. However it didn’t seem to matter as we put together some drives but settled for too many field goals. Both offenses had good days going for over 350 yards each but the Falcons scored last and they took the victory, ending our perfect start. We definitely didn’t play poorly, they just played a little bit better than us.
Final: 24-17 L (6-1)

Week 9
vs Carolina (3-5) (-11)
Passing: Favre 29-36 311 1 td 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 18-105
Receiving: Carter 7-111

I think the scoring log says a lot about this game:
1Q: 10:07 DET - Larry Centers 15 pass from Brett Favre (Scott Norwood extra point)
1Q: 01:21 DET - Scott Norwood 44 field goal
2Q: 12:16 DET - Scott Norwood 53 field goal
2Q: 05:39 DET - Scott Norwood 32 field goal
2Q: 02:51 CAR - Troy Stradford 5 pass from Mike Buck (Greg Davis extra point)
3Q: 08:50 CAR - Greg Davis 24 field goal
3Q: 02:38 CAR - Greg Davis 47 field goal
4Q: 11:24 CAR - Troy Stradford 5 run (Greg Davis extra point)
4Q: 08:33 CAR - Reggie Dupard 1 pass from Mike Buck (Greg Davis extra point)
4Q: 02:06 CAR - Reggie Dupard 6 run (Greg Davis extra point)
First, we couldn’t score touchdowns when we had the opportunity. Second when we had a chance to put the game away we kept letting Carolina come back, committed dumb turnovers and basically gave the game away. This is a very disappointing loss, considering that the offense had one of their better games.
Final: 34-16 L (6-2)

Week 9
vs Carolina (3-5) (-11)
Passing: Favre 14-21 138 1 td
Rushing: Sanders 43-152 1 td
Receiving: Carter 3-53

Ok this is becoming an epidemic, I don’t know what happened but somehow I have to play the week 9 game again. Quite a different story we chased Mike Buck from the game early after he went 8 for 16 for 71 yards, in comes Bobby Hebert who we promptly picked off 4 times in 12 passes for a good ole 0 rating and finally they brought in Billy Joe Hobert to finish out the game.
Final: 23-0 W (7-1)

Week 10
at Green Bay (5-3) (-7)
Passing: Favre 21-40 260 2 td
Rushing: Sanders 21-87 1 td
Receiving: McCardell 6-99 1 td

This was quite a game, again we had lots of problems with Sterling Sharpe but we also had problems with Jeff Query and Don Beebe. It’s not exactly inspiring when you’re getting torn apart by those two and Jay Schroeder. The only thing that saved us was we managed to pick Jay off 4 times, which helped offset the 363 yards he threw for. Eric Williams got a lot of heat on him as well netting 4 hurries and 3 sacks. We were looking real bad for this game down 24-16, Green Bay ball with 4 minutes left. Then we managed to pick Jay off on third and long and there was hope. 4 plays and 41 yards later Larry Centers was in the endzone. Time for a two point conversion, Barry starts right, jukes left and outraces Darryl Williams to the corner of the endzone. We kick the ball off and wouldn’t you know it, same result, 3rd and 4 Jay throws another pick. This time we only need 1 play to cover 30 yards to McCardell and we’re up 7. We kick the ball off and play it again Jay, third down one last interception.
Final: 31-24 W (8-1)

We lost RG Joe Milinchik for 3 weeks with an upper body injury

Week 11
at Minnesota (3-6) (-11)
Passing: Favre 21-40 260 2 td
Rushing: Sanders 21-87 1 td
Receiving: McCardell 6-99 1 td

We came, we saw, we taketh away. Outside of Chris Doleman’s 4 sacks the Vikings really didn’t do much today. They were down so much so early that Herschel wasn’t able to get going and two late picks by backup Adam Scioli only sealed the deal as we won going away. Nothing really amazing to report, we just got a lot more penalties, 13 today to go with the 11 last week. We are now the 6th most penalized team.
Final: 31-10 W (9-1)

Week 12
vs Baltimore (2-8) (-13)
Passing: Favre 14-22 216 1 td
Rushing: Sanders 35-104 3 td
Receiving: McCardell 5-94 1 td

Today we welcomed number 1 pick Drew Bledsoe to the dome and I don’t think he’ll quickly forget this trip. I think Baltimore’s drive summary sums it up nicely.

We only managed 4 sacks, but Bledsoe was getting knocked around all day. This was a solid effort all around against a team that we should beat handily. The only downside today was the play of Barry. While he did get his 100, he didn’t get it gracefully, averaging less than 3 yards a carry.
Final: 37-0 W (10-1)

Week 13
vs Philadelphia (8-3) (-3)
Passing: Favre 18-43 171
Rushing: Sanders 20-53 1 td
Receiving: McCardell 6-77

Now it’s time to see where we stand as we welcome the Eagles and Herman Moore to town. This is a huge game as we haven’t really beaten anyone that good so far this season, so a win here would go a long way. The game started off promising with our first two drives ending in points. At the half we were up 10 nothing in a hard fought battle. Unfortunately in the second half, Randall Cunningham decided that he wasn’t going out like that and led three long, methodical scoring drives to put the Eagles up 3. We didn’t have an answer today. Reggie White, Eric Swann and Seth Joyner put lots of heat on Favre, forcing a lot of bad passes, this was a game we could have won and should have won if we are to contend for a championship this year. We are a lot like the 91 Lions who went 12-4 but got bounced when they came up against good competition.
Final: 13-10 L (10-2)

Week 14
at Cleveland (9-3) (-1)
Passing: Favre 21-28 265 3 td
Rushing: Sanders 23-73
Receiving: McCardell 6-130 1 td

This game made me feel a little better about our chances. The Browns are a solid team, led by Bernie Kosar, Terry Kirby and Charles Haley and we went into the Dog Pound, in December and kicked them right in the teeth. Even though Kosar went over 300 yards, he was sacked 6 times and completed less than 50 percent of his passes. Meanwhile Favre had a great day, throwing 3 touchdown passes and managing the game well.
Final: 24-11 W (11-2) And we are now Central Division Champs!!! We are tied with Dallas for homefield and have a 3 game lead on Saint Louis for a bye.

Week 15
at Chicago (7-6) (-7)
Passing: Favre 19-24 222 2 td
Rushing: Sanders 25-97
Receiving: McCardell 6-103 2 td

The good news is we punted only once and didn’t turn the ball over. The bad news is that we only scored two touchdowns. That is precisely the formula you need to have your kicker win game MVP and player of the week. Check out the drive summary.

Norwood drilled 7 field goals, 7! On the other side of the ball we really held Tomczak and Anderson in check and the game was pretty much always in hand. We finally held Dent without a sack as Howard Ballard dominated that individual battle. Elsewhere Houston lost again to run their record to 0-14, equaling the 76 Bucs. They have games against the 6-8 Cardinals and 8-6 Colts remaining, exciting football in Houston.
Final: 35-17 W (12-2)

vs Cincinnati (7-7) (-11)
Passing: Favre 14-17 307 4 td 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 34-161 1 td
Receiving: McCardell 6-155 2 td

We are really rolling into form now. Even though we were unable to sack Boomer, we held him to 121 yards passing on a 13-29 evening. Carl Pickens and Anthony Carter were neutralized as we ran away with another game. Elsewhere Dallas won and Houston got crushed.
Final: Lots – Few (38-3) W (13-2)

Week 17
vs Green Bay (9-6) (-7)
Passing: Favre 16-22 184 2 td
Rushing: Sanders 31-151 1 td
Receiving: Carter 5-71 1 td

This game really wasn’t as close as the final would indicate. We gave up three late long scoring drives in the 4th quarter to make it interesting when most of the backups were playing but the final result was never in doubt. Again Sterling Shape went off catching 9 for 146. He only has two more years on his contract and I might go after him in a trade this offseason because I am sick and tired of him killing us. Elsewhere Dallas crushing Washington so we finish the season tied for tops in the NFC, I’m not sure who holds the tie breaker but we’ll find out shortly. As for Houston, behind a team of nobody’s they went out, iced Indianapolis and allowed Tennessee to win the division. Warren Moon should be taking all those guys out to dinner for getting him back in the playoffs.
Final: 33-25 W (14-2)

The most amazing stat by far is Favre throwing only 1 interception, just 1. Barry had another solid season and is almost at 9000 yards. Next year barring injury he should eclipse the 10000 yard barrier. Lastly the standing then off to the playoffs.

Playoffs

Looking at it now I really don’t think we want homefield advantage. The 1 seed has a very good chance at getting Philly in the second round because they should skunk St. Louis and I’m pretty sure New Orleans will beat Chicago. Well lets see what happens.

20 Chicago
23 New Orleans

38 Miami
35 Tennessee

14 New Jersey
16 Denver

17 Philadelphia
0 St. Louis

[nilodor]

Division Round
So for being the number 1 seed, we draw the Eagles who are one of the top 3 teams in the league and the Cowboys get the *tougher* division champion Saints. Bah!!!!

First lets hit up the other games

17 New Orleans
20 Dallas

24 Miami
20 Buffalo

9 Denver
31 Cleveland

vs Philadelphia (13-4) -1

1st Quarter
We get the ball to start the game, unfortunately it’s 3 and out. We pin the Eagles deep inside the 10 but Randall does it to us again and starts driving them down the field. He hits Quick for a 43 yard gain and Moore for a 22 yard gain and next thing you know it they at the 10 yard line. However our defense holds and all the Eagles can get is a field goal. We get the ball back after an excellent return to the 40 yard line by Clark. Favre drops back and does something he only did once all season, throws a pick. Eric Allen picks off the pass and the Eagles are threatening again. This time they forgo Randall and try to run the ball, big mistake. Their drive stalls and they punt it away, pinning us at our 3. The first two plays amount to 0 yards and we are looking at giving the ball back in great field position. Then Barry decides this isn’t good enough and runs for 11 yards and a first down. Then Favre hits Carter for 22 yards, burning Eric Allen. Favre hits Carter 3 more times before the quarter ends with us first and goal from the 3.

Philly 3 Detroit 0

[nilodor]

2nd Quarter
First play, another negative as Reggie sacks Favre and drives us back to the 11. We are not to be denied though as Favre hits McCardell for the score and we go up 7-3. Randall gets the ball back at the 20 and promptly completes 4 passes down to our 30 to set up a long field goal try, which is missed wide left. Barry gains 6 yards on his first carry of the series, plus an extra 15 thanks to Mr. White dragging him down by the facemask. Then Favre hits James Jones down the seam for 39 yards and another touchdown. 14-3 good guys. It doesn’t take long for Philly to respond. First play of their drive, Randall hits Herman Moore for 52 yards. Two plays later he hits Michael Haynes for a touchdown and it’s 14-10. We get the ball back and Barry starts ripping off runs of 2, 3, 10, 11 and 16 yards. Mix in a couple of Favre throws and Gizmo runs and we are second and goal at the Philly 2. Barry goes up and over the top, is he in? The ref says no, third and goal from the 1. Then disaster, false start, we get driven back to the 6, miss the pass and settle for a field goal, 17-10 Lions. The Eagles get the ball back and for the second time we hold them to 3 and out. We get the ball back on our 41 with a minute left. Favre completes two passes to Carter and McCardell to set up a 47 yard attempt by Norwood but he shanks it wide left, uh oh!

Philly 10 Detroit 17

[nilodor]

3rd Quarter

The 3rd quarter starts with both teams driving the ball 20 or so yards only to punt the ball into each others end zone. With 7 minutes left Philly gets the ball back and begins a long, soul crushing drive. Cunningham completes 7 of 11 and drives the Eagles well within field goal range, including 3-4 on third down. Herman Moore says thanks to his old team by dropping a sure touchdown pass and limiting the Eagles to a 30 yard field goal as the quarter expires.

Philly 13 Detroit 17

[nilodor]

4th Quarter
Well we have picked up another nemesis, Favre drops back on the first play and hits Eric Allen for his second pick of the afternoon. Again the defense picks him up and forces a 3 and out. We then trade 3 and outs and now have the ball at our 4 with 10 minutes remaining. Barry and Brett drive the team down the field to the 29 yard line where the drive stalls after we came a yard short for the first down. Scott Norwood has a chance to redeem himself with a 46 yard try and just like the superbowl he pounds it wide left. The collective hearts of Detroit sink, it’s all on the defense now. Cunningham gets the ball at the 36 with 5 minutes left, they need a touchdown. He starts with an 8 yard pass to Mike Quick, which is followed by an Ed Toner first down run. Then Terry Kirby runs three times to get a second first down. After a 3 yard Toner run and two incomplete passes the Eagles face a 4th and 7 with 2:45 remaining. Randall drops back, Moore is double covered, he looks him off and sees David Mims come open over the middle, he hits him for a 10 yard gain and a first down. Then Randall hits Keith Jackson for 16 yards. The next play he goes his way again, in the endzone, drop. Big break for Detroit. 2 minute warning, the Eagles are scheming something. Randall drops back, rolls out and hits a wide open Herman Moore for the score, Philly is up 20-17 with 2 minutes remaining. After a long kickoff we get the ball at the 20 with 1:51 left. First down, Favre is hurried by Robert Banks and missed Cris Carter. Second down, he hits Carter for a 6 yard gain. Third down, Eric Swann gets some heat on Favre forcing him to miss McCardell. 4th and 4, this is the season right here. Favre looks downfield, everyone is covered, Reggie is bearing down on him and smokes him just as he flips the ball towards Barry. Barry grabs the ball and scampers for 4 yards and the first down. 1 minute left, and we need 40 yards to get in field goal range. Favre drops back and sees Carter open, but Banks knocks the ball back in his face. Second down Favre misses Carter who was mismatched on a linebacker. Third down Favre tries to hit McCardell, but fails. Having Swann in his face didn’t help the situation. Fourth down, last chance, Favre drops back, the receivers down field are covered so he checks down to McCardell but he only gains 6 yards, turnover, game and season over.

Final: 20-17 L (14-3)

Those missed field goals really hurt, I know they were long but man did we need them. You only get so many chances and we really needed to capitalize here today.

Wow lots of big names gone. Those D-Line losses are going to hurt, maybe cutting Brown will give me enough money to go after a William Fuller or Jerome Brown.

Cut – OT Lomas Brown – cap casualty
Summer – OT – Lincoln Kennedy – why I could cut Lomas Brown

Free Agency
Needs
Starters at FB and DE, Backups at QB, RB, DT, OLB
Most of these I think I can go after in the draft, we did lose our second round pick in the Cris Carter trade, so that will hurt a bit. Let’s see what we can do.

Targets
NT John Randle 39/39 – Pass rush specialist
- signed 1.08 million over two years
DE Les Miller 54/60 – All around lineman who has been rusting on the bench in SD
- signed 1.95 million over two years
DE Clyde Simmons 37/37 – Pure pass rush, would team with RDE Brooks
- signed 2.68 million 3 years – bit risky but definite need
RB Rodney Hampton 42/42 – Solid backup to Barry
- signed 840K over two years
QB John Friesz 26/45
- signed 840 K two years
SLB Steve Hendrickson 25/50
- signed 840K two years

Draft
1-28 – CB – Jason Sehorn – USC – 38/51 – Nickle back for now should be a future starter
3-29 – DT – Dan Wilkinson – Ohio State – 18/30 – Kind of a Randle clone will help with depth
4-28 – WR – Isaac Bruce – Memphis – 25/45 – Will be the 3rd option for a couple of years
5-30 – FB – Mack Strong – Georgia – 24/46 – Has blocking skills to step in right away
6-29 – S – Jay Bellamy – Rutgers – 14/35 – Best player available, should steal Oldham’s spot
7-28 – QB – Gus Frerotte – Tulsa – 8/23 – Needed a 3rd QB and some comic relief
Overall: A-
McCardell holds out, I pony up for our number 2 receiver to the tune of 8.35 over 4.

Front Office Football 2007
Detroit Lions Roster, Scout Overview

Player # Pos Start Exp Current Estimate Future Estimate Cntrct
Friesz, John 3 QB 5 26 45 2 yrs
Favre, Brett 4 QB 4 62 62 2 yrs
Frerotte, Gus 8 QB 1 8 25 3 yrs

Farve has been improving every season and looks to be the star I thought I was
getting when I pulled that huge trade 4 years ago. Friesz is a capable backup
but we won't be done any favours if he's playing alot.
Overall: A-

Sanders, Barry 20 RB 6 91 91 2 yrs
Williams, Gizmo 2 RB 6 20 24 1 yr.
Hampton, Rodney 26 RB 5 42 42 2 yrs

Murrell, Adrian 25 RB 2 16 22 2 yrs
Vardell, Tommy 43 FB 3 26 38 1 yr.
Strong, Mack 34 FB 1 25 46 3 yrs

This really is Barry and everyone else. Barry is the best back in football bar
none, but he can only take so many years of pounding. I think he's got 2 or 3
more elite years, followed by a couple good years to get this done. Strong is
a solid blocker and Hampton provides decent depth.
Overall: B+

Mrosko, Bob 85 TE 6 45 53 1 yr.
Centers, Larry 24 TE 5 52 52 1 yr.
Carter, Cris 86 FL 8 80 80 4 yrs
Proehl, Ricky 83 FL 5 50 50 1 yr.
McCardell, Keenan 81 SE 4 57 57 4 yrs
Stegall, Milt 88 SE 3 35 35 2 yrs
Conway, Curtis 82 SE 2 18 33 3 yrs
Bruce, Isaac 87 SE 1 29 49 4 yrs

Carter is the unquestioned leader of this unit, although McCardell out performed him
last season. It seemed as though that was because Carter drew alot of double teams
so Favre had to look elsewhere with the ball. We will be better served the more we
get the ball into his hands. Bruce and Proehl are excellent sub package targets and
both could start on alot of teams. Centers is a great receiver and a ok blocker.
Overall: A-

Kennedy, Lincoln 68 LT 2 33 55 4 yrs
Ballard, Howard 67 RT 8 63 63 3 yrs
Boatswain, Harry 69 RT 4 35 35 2 yrs

Again this is a solid unit that does an excellent job of opening holes and keeping
Favre upright. Nothing great here, but nothing substandard either.
Overall: B+

Arnold, Jim 15 P 12 61 61 1 yr.
Norwood, Scott 5 K 10 84 84 2 yrs

Norwood missed alot of big field goals in the stretch run last season, he can be a very
good kicker, he just needs to show it. Arnold is showing his age and only has a
couple of years left in him.
Overall: B

Miller, Les 79 LDE 8 38 52 2 yrs
Noga, Al 74 LDE 7 31 44 1 yr.
Brooks, Kevin 70 RDE 10 42 42 1 yr.
Simmons, Clyde 99 RDE 9 29 29 3 yrs

Randle, John 72 NT 5 39 39 2 yrs
Parrella, John 98 NT 2 23 27 2 yrs
Wilkinson, Dan 71 NT 1 20 31 4 yrs

This unit saw alot of turnover in the offseason with a couple of retirements. As long
as all of the pieces gel there is excellent depth and proven run stopping ability.
The backups will provide the pass rush. No one here outside of Ball is outstanding
but again it is solid all the way through.
Overall: B+

Karpinski, Keith 52 SILB 6 27 40 1 yr.
McDaniel, Ed 96 SILB 3 40 40 2 yrs

Jamieson, George 94 WLB 11 54 54 1 yr.
Tiggle, Calvin 90 WLB 4 24 31 1 yr.
Age is really starting to catch up with this unit. This will probably be Cofer's
last season and he will split alot of time with Hendrickson. Spielman is a
stud and is getting better every season. The only question mark is Ed McDaniel,
if he can step up this unit should be one of the best again.
Overall: B+

Crockett, Ray 30 LCB 6 56 56 3 yrs

Sehorn, Jason 22 LCB 1 39 56 4 yrs

Bellamy, Jay 37 SS 1 15 35 3 yrs
White, William 42 FS 7 61 61 4 yrs
Teague, George 46 FS 2 21 39 2 yrs

This unit has improved vastly over the last couple of years. Finally the corners
can compete with the strength at safety. Eric Davis is on the verge of stardom
and Crockett and rookie Sehorn should also be very solid. For once there is
depth in the secondary and this should be a good unit for once. Kevin Clark
is a lights out returner in the mould of Mel Gray, just wish he could play
a little corner, now and again.

Preseason
Nothing much of note, a few nicks, lost Boatswain for 6 weeks with a broken arm, few other guys questionable. We go 3-1 and look pretty good overall.

I pull the trigger on a deal that sees us get LB Eric Hill from Arizona for a 5th round pick. A little karma for doing the 5 year draft perspective?

We're number 1, put up or shut up time.

Week 1
at Chicago (0-0) -10
Passing: Favre 17-20 203 3 td
Rushing: Sanders 31-79
Receiving: Carter 5-65

A good game from the force turnovers department as we chalk up 6, 3 picks of Tomczak and 3 fumbles. For having so many possessions I would have liked to see a little more than 263 yards total offense. It’s a win, but not a good win.
Final: 27-13 W (1-0)

Week 2
vs New England (1-0) -13
Passing: Favre 17-20 327 5 td
Rushing: Sanders 32-127
Receiving: Carter 6-232 2 td

Well, well this is where Joe Cool winds up after backup up old Steve Young. He’s aged but not too badly and still has some good football in him. New England has a pretty decent roster and could have a little something this year. That being said, today was not their day. After the GM came down hard on the coach, who in turn came down hard on the players, both sides of the ball were working well. We hung up 473 total yards to their 160 and basically ran Montana ragged. Favre had by far his best day as a pro and Cris Carter was the main beneficiary. This was a good day all around, good day.
Final: 35-0 W (2-0)

Eric Davis is out 5 weeks with a groin injury.

Week 3
vs New Orleans (2-0) -5
Passing: Favre 21-23 247
Rushing: Sanders 28-114 3 td
Receiving: Carter 5-99

Another game, another big offensive showing. Sanders finally had a Barry type day and Favre continued to justify the faith we had in him. John Randle and Jerry Ball combined for a sack and a half each as the defense had another decent day. Most of the yards Bobby Hebert managed were late, when the game was already over. Jumpy Geathers and Wayne Martin are going to be appearing in Favre’s nightmares for a while as they each managed 3 sacks.
Final: 41-24 W (3-0)

Week 4
vs St. Louis (2-1) -10
Passing: Favre 14-22 249 1 td
Rushing: Sanders 29-155 1 td
Receiving: Carter 4-134 1 td

If you were watching this game on tv, you would have never left your seat for fear of missing a huge play. The teams combined for over 800 yards total offense, with a little bit more of that going the good guys way then not. Two key interceptions, one on the first play of the game, one on the last, sealed the deal for us. The first led to a 4 play 89 yard touchdown drive, taking Ram points off the board, and the last ended a long drive that could have tied or won the game for the Rams. So Ray Crockett and William White are big heroes tonight.
Final: 20-17 W (4-0)!

Week 5
Bye

Week 6
at Green Bay (2-3) -10
Passing: Favre 24-34 333 2 td 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 21-103
Receiving: McCardell 9-143 Carter 7-120 2 td

Well we lost the turnover battle but we didn’t lose the day. Favre continued to play out of his skin, unfortunately he threw his first pick and lost a fumble, but he put up another 300 yard game, which means he has twice as many this year as his entire career. On another positive note, no punts today, 3 field goals, 3 touchdowns, 1 missed field goal, 1 fumble and 1 interception. And the big news, BIG news is we held Sterling Sharpe to only 62 yards.
Final: 30-20 W (5-0)

We lost Bennie Blades for 10 weeks with a broken foot

Week 7
at San Francisco (3-2) -7
Passing: Favre 21-27 288 2 td
Rushing: Sanders 25-140 1 td
Receiving: Carter 6-97 1 td

The Niners are a really interesting team they kept Young and Rice but couldn’t keep anyone else because they take up so much of their cap. I wonder if this would have happened in real life, had the cap come in earlier and they hadn’t cheated it. Another big game another big result. We really went after the Niners and they really came after us. We both managed 423 yards but we forced 3 turnovers and that was the difference. Favre had another big day, I hope the defense can get a little more heat on the quarterback and show a little more stopping power. Maybe we have missed the window for the defense.
Final: 34-17 W (6-0)

Week 8
vs Seattle (4-2) -8
Passing: Favre 15-19 194 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 22-118
Receiving: McCardell 6-104

This was a great win for us because we won this game, but won it way too ugly for my taste. The defense stepped up, specifically George Jamieson who sacked Kubiak 4 times and Sehorn who sacked him twice. We also did a good job holding their running back tandem of Jamal Anderson and John L Williams to 70 yards on 30 carries. The offense did everything that was asked of it, except score, this game really wasn’t as close as the score.
Final: 12-10 W (7-0)

Week 9
vs Chicago (4-3) -7
Passing: Favre 19-27 266 2 td 2 int
Rushing: Sanders 33-129
Receiving: Centers 5-87 1 td

Today for the second time this year both sides of our team clicked. We more than doubled the Bears offense, brought stars to Tomczaks head and made Neal Anderson cry. Nothing much else to say, good effort, Favre has started to throw some picks and that is mildly concerning but the rest of his play is enough to make up for it.
Final: 26-10 W (8-0)

Well one hell of a first half to the season, we’ll bring in the summary and standings next then we’ll see if we are for real.

[Travis]

Let's go Moon, let's go!

Very nice looking team you've assembled. Just too bad it looks like Stegall will never see the light of day with all the guys ahead of him on the depth chart. He's about to break the TD record in the CFL.

[nilodor]

Yeah 137 and holding for ol Stegall. It could be a while for him because teams seem quite intent on double and triple teaming him so they don't give up the record. Seems that it is playing out well for winnipeg as there are alot of open guys around not that it's helping them win games though.

[Calis]

Great read, really enjoying this, although it does bring back the sadness of Barry quitting so young.

Getting close to 10k!

Week 10
at Arizona (3-5) -8
Passing: Favre 23-26 380 4 td
Rushing: Sanders 29-99
Receiving: Carter 6-133 1 td

Being a Cardinals fan, this kinda hurt, except for the fact that I’m managing the Lions. The word that best describes this game would be, annihilation. We broke the 500 yard mark in total offense (which is like 2 to 3 games of offense for us normally), while allowing only 200. Forced 4 turnovers and almost averaged 8 yard a play. The only two drives where we didn’t score points occurred right at the end of the game, when all of the scrubs were in. Favre recorded another perfect 158.3 rating, which is his second of the season and bumps his rating to 135.6 through 9 games.
Final: 51-10 W (9-0)

Week 11
vs Minnesota (4-5) -13
Passing: Favre 16-25 238
Rushing: Sanders 31-86 2 td
Receiving: McCardell 5-109

When you average more than 10 yards to go on third down, as the Vikings did today, you’re in trouble. The team played very well today and since we got up early we were able to neutralize Herschel. The only bright spot for the Vikings was Michael “He he” Jackson who went over the century mark on 5 receptions, other than that it was a pretty dominate performance. On a side note Barry eclipsed the 10,000 yard mark for his career. Only 8356 more to go!
Final: 26-14 W (10-0)

Week 12
at Buffalo (9-1) -3
Passing: Favre 13-29 306 1 td Friesz 1-2 9 1 td
Rushing: Sanders 15-60
Receiving: Carter 7-121

This is the game, this is where we find out how good we really are, late in the season, going into Buffalo against Kelly, Thomas and Reed. Things started off very well, our first 3 drives ended in points and we were up 13-0 at the end of the first quarter. At half time we were up 10 16-6 and looking in control. But Thurman found his helmet and came out charging in the second half. He reeled off three straight scores and all of a sudden we were down 27-16. As we were driving late in the game the second worst thing that could happen, happened as Mike D’Onofrio came barreling in on Favre from the backside. Favre rolled around on the turf as everyone back home in the Motor City held their breath. He was able to leave the field under his own power but he’s going to be out a couple of weeks with a sprained foot. Friesz was able to finish off the drive with a score, but was unable to lead the team to victory.
Final: 27-22 L (10-1)

Week 13
at Dallas (6-5) -6
Passing: Friesz 24-31 313 2 td 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 26-66 1 td
Receiving: Carter 7-135 1 td
Exactly who I wanted to face with Favre out, wonderful, Aikman and Irvin, in Dallas. Eventhough Dallas doesn’t have a great record this game was a knock down, drag em out affair. We traded touchdowns with Dallas on three occasions and missed field goals on another. Finally after a long drive late in the third quarter Norwood drilled a field goal to put us up for good. In the 4th quarter nothing much happened as the defenses decided to show up to limit each team to just under 400 yards.
Final: 24-21 W (11-1)

Injuries: Favre is probably, but we’ll let him sit next week since we have wrapped up the division and have a two game lead on home field advantage. Sehorn is out for 9 weeks, which hurts but we actually have depth there so it’s better this year than in others.

Week 14
at Miami (9-3) +1
Passing: Friesz 20-41 175 2 int
Rushing: Sanders 22-80
Receiving: Carter 5-39

This is the first game we haven’t been favoured in all season. Marino is having a good year, which is unusual because he normally has stellar years. This decline is due to the fact that he has corpses for receivers. Today they behaved like that as well, which helped us limit Marino to 14-30 for 134 and 1 pick. Normally that would seal a victory, but this is the John Friesz era in Detroit and he did his best to see that we lost. He threw two picks and fumbled twice and that coupled with our inability to stop the run (Robert Green and Darrell Thompson both averaged more than 6 yards per carry) lost us the game. And the whole only got 3 points thing, may have hurt us as well. This just underlines how important Favre is to this team and the fans will welcome him back next week.
Final: 20-3 L (11-2)

Week 15
vs Green Bay (7-6) -9
Passing: Favre 16-22 242 3 td 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 25-89
Receiving: Carter 5-106 2 td

Ahh, that’s more like it, Favre came in today and tripled Friesz’s quarterback rating from a week ago. On a side note I’m kinda worried about Barry, his numbers haven’t been stellar, also haven’t been Reggie Bushish, but definitely not stellar. This week we totally shut down their running game holding Vince Workman to 17 yards and Erric Pegram to 30. Sterling Sharpe had another big game averaging over 20 yards a catch, as did his running mate Rocket Ismail. But that wasn’t enough as Clyde Simmons 4 sacks helped polish off the Packers and bump them from a playoff spot.
Final: 33-23 W (12-2)

Injuries: Eric Davis and George Teague are out for 3 and 4 weeks respectively

Week 16
vs Jets (6-8) -12
Passing: Favre 20-20 227 2 td
Rushing: Sanders 38-110 3 td
Receiving: McCardell 4-70

The end result of this game was never in doubt as the Jets were unable to do anything with the ball until late in the fourth quarter when we pulled the starters and allowed two touchdowns. Nothing really of note happened in this game. The big performance from the Jets was Dennis Gibson’s 15 tackles, other than that, nothing special except for Favre going 20 for 20.
Final: 38-15 W (13-2)

Week 17
at Minnesota (6-9) -10
Passing: Favre 15-18 209 2 td 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 21-64 2 td
Receiving: Carter 5-114

Coming into this game Atlanta is one game behind us at 12-3. I am assuming because of our superior conference record (all three of Atlanta’s losses are in the conference), we have clinched home field, but I’m not totally sure, so let’s crush the Vikings just to be safe. And crush is exactly what we did, with Glen Foley feeling much of the pain getting sacked 5 times. The only bright spot for the Vikings was Herschel rushing for 110 yards on 22 carries, other than that the road to the SuperBowl runs through the motor city (seriously when did you think you’d hear those words?)
Final: 34-17 W (14-2) ATL lost btw so the tiebreak was a mute thing

So we are playing the Saints. Now these aren’t the Saints that we played earlier in the season as they are now lead by Trent Green, who is one of the 5 best quarterbacks in the league right now. Offensively they are pretty average outside of Green. On defense they do an excellent job at getting after the quarterback with Wayne Martin, Jumpy Geathers, Pat Swilling and Sam Mills. Without Carter to bail out Favre today I think we could be in a lot of trouble, he really opens up the offense for us and this could be tricky.

vs New Orleans (10-7) -7
Rushing: Sanders 13-68 1 td
Passing: Favre 23-29 273 1 td
Receiving: McCardell 6-127

Well crap. We got down early, didn’t do a damn thing all first half. By the time we turned it on we were down 16-0 and we just couldn’t get it back. Wayne Martin was a thorn all day, he got 3 sacks and 4 hurries. Geathers and Swilling were also in the backfield all day, getting 7 combined hurries. What a disappointing end to the season.

But nooooo! New Orleans gained 595 yards, 517 yards worth from the right arm of Trent Green. The Dolphins running backs could not get it going to close out the game. Sadness for all Fins fans.

Final: New Orleans 38 Miami 35

Detroit Lions Roster, Scout Overview

Player # Pos Start Exp Current Estimate Future Estimate Cntrct
Favre, Brett 4 QB QB 5 69 69 6 yrs
Friesz, John 3 QB 6 28 46 1 yr.
Frerotte, Gus 8 QB 2 9 26 2 yrs

Favre just keeps getting better and better. He is becoming one of the best quarterbacks
in the league and is on track to wind up in The Hall. All he needs to do is lead this team
to the promise land and put up a couple more seasons like his record breaking
season of 94. Friesz is a competent backup but he makes too many mistakes,
so if we have to rely on him for too much, we're in trouble.
Rating: A-

Sanders, Barry 20 RB RB 7 86 86 3 yrs
Hampton, Rodney 26 RB 6 43 43 1 yr.
##Bennett, Edgar 39 RB 4 19 25 1 yr.
Strong, Mack 34 FB FB 2 32 45 2 yrs
Vardell, Tommy 43 FB 4 28 37 2 yrs

This is still Barry's team, his numbers have been down the last couple
of seasons and he is showing signs of wearing out. He probably has
another 2 or 3 seasons at MVP level, after that someone else is going
to have to bring home the gravy. Hampton returns and the plan is to
have him take more carries from Barry. Vardell and Strong offer fantastic
blocking, and nothing much after that.
Rating: A

Centers, Larry 24 TE TE 6 54 54 4 yrs
Walls, Wesley 80 TE 7 49 58 1 yr.
Carter, Cris 86 FL FL 9 76 76 3 yrs

McCardell, Keenan 81 SE SE 5 58 58 3 yrs
Stegall, Milt 88 SE 4 35 35 1 yr.
Conway, Curtis 82 SE 3 20 33 2 yrs

Centers is still a great receiver but isn't a good blocker, the same can
be said for Walls so expect more interior running this season. Carter
leads this talented receiving core. He is still one of the most talented
receivers in the league and should put up huge numbers. McCardell
and Bruce are excellent number 2 and 3 options who are capable of
hurting teams if they double Carter too often.
Rating: B+

Glover, Kevin 53 C C 11 49 49 2 yrs

Ballard, Howard 67 RT RT 9 65 65 2 yrs
Boselli, Tony 78 RT 1 22 50 4 yrs
##Boatswain, Harry 69 RT 5 34 34 1 yr.

The line is in a state of transition as the new guard is starting to
take over. They let the team down last season by not opening
enough holes for Barry and keeping Favre upright. If their
performance improves just a little bit the offense could be the
tops in the league.
Rating: B-

Arnold, Jim 15 P 13 55 55 1 yr.
Norwood, Scott 5 K 11 82 82 1 yr.

Still solid, this is probably Arnold's last season as punter.
Clark provides excellent field position and is a threat to take it
to the house everytime he touches the ball.

Ball, Jerry 77 NT NT 9 67 67 2 yrs
Randle, John 72 NT 6 40 40 1 yr.
Wilkinson, Dan 71 NT 2 25 32 3 yrs

The line is still recovering from the retirements a couple of seasons
ago. Ball is still one of the top tackles in the league. Randle replaces
him on passing downs even though he is a capable pass rusher. The
ends are raw on experience but need to play like they have some this year.

##Minter, Barry 51 SLB 3 24 39 2 yrs
Hendrickson, Steve 91 WLB WLB 7 25 44 1 yr.

This unit is solid all the way through, they have successfully transitioned
from being old to young, while remaining a solid unit. And awkward
sentances aside, this is a good unit that can cover, stop the run and
get after the quarterback. Hendrickson is the only weak link and is better
suited to backup duty.
Rating: B+

##Teague, George 46 FS 3 24 37 1 yr.

This is still a solid unit. There are questions to how long the safeties
can stay at star level but it appears that they should still be dominant
this season. The top three corners all could start anywhere and this
should be a very difficult unit to complete any passes against.

PreSeason
No news is good news as we go 4-0 and don’t lose anyone to injury, so aside for a few nicks and scrapes we are ready for the regular season.

Week 1
vs Green Bay (0-0) -11
Passing: Favre 18-24 217 1 td
Rushing: Sanders 42-200 1 td – Even at 80% PT? Crazy!
Receiving: Carter 7-82 1 td

Good start, we had the ball for almost three quarters of the game as we gained 28 first downs, with 15 of those coming on the ground. The Pack never got a chance to get going and only ran 45 plays gaining a paltry 101 yards. The following was the best line of the dynasty:

Green Bay Catch Targ Yards Avg YAC LG TD
WR Sterling Sharpe 1 10 8 8.00 0 8 0

Boo-freaking-yah!
Final: 26-0 W (1-0)

Week 2
at Oakland (1-0) -6
Passing: Favre 18-27 260 3 td 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 28-146 1 td
Receiving: McCardell 6-95

Ah finally Barry vs Bo. Bo is starting to show his age but he still is a major threat. However when the team you’re playing scores 3 touchdowns on their first three drives and you commit 2 turnovers and punt, you’re probably not going to be running the ball a whole lot. So we limited Bo to 42 yards on 10 carries as Dave Brown unsuccessfully tried to lead the charge for the Raiders. The defense is slipping, allowing 196 yards, maybe I’ll have to call a Monday practice?
Final: 31-6 W (2-0)

Week 3
vs St. Louis (1-1) -5
Passing: Favre 20-27 274 2 td
Rushing: Sanders 36-139 1 td
Receiving: Carter 6-120 1 td

Three straight games going over 400 yards for the offense, three straight games allowing less than 200 for the defense. I just wish we are racking up these types of stats up at the end of the season. When you’re up 31-6 at halftime, it’s generally a good thing, unless you’re the Oilers, playing the Bills in a AFC championship game, when the team loses their star QB.
Final: 40-16 W (3-0)

Week 4
at Dallas (3-0) -8
Passing: Favre 17-23 241 4 td 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 35-184 1 td
Receiving: Carter 6-79 3 td

Something had to give, two 3 and 0 heavyweights meeting in big D. Both teams had looked dominant so far so this should be a close, hard fought affair. Well that wasn’t quite the case as we went out and skunked the Boys. Aikman had one of his worst days, throwing for 212 with two picks and completing less than half of his passes. It’s still weird seeing the Cowboys with Salaam instead of Smith in the backfield, surreal.
Final: 37-14 W (4-0)

Week 5
at Philadelphia (1-3) -9
Passing: Favre 18-32 198 1 td
Rushing: Sanders 28-148 4 td
Receiving: McCardell 7-100

The Eagles are still dangerous but they had to jettison most of their offensive and defensive lines after winning the championship in 93 due to salary cap issues. That being said they go as Randall goes and today he looked like Henry Burris. We got a lot of heat on him forcing 3 interceptions and sacking him 4 times. He still managed to throw for almost 300 yards on 13-32 with 2 touchdowns but it wasn’t enough as we scored 33 second half points, punctuated by Barry’s 4 touchdowns. Randle was the main thorn in Randall’s side as he accumulated 1 sack along with 5 hurries and 5 knockdowns. We also weren’t hurt by Kevin Clark averaging 58 yards a kick return.
Final: 46-24 W (5-0)

Week 6
vs New York (3-1) -6
Passing: Favre 17-25 196 3 td 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 30-280 1 td
Receiving: Carter 6-77 2 td

Another game, another almost 500 yard offensive performance, in stark contrast to the Hipple days of almost 300 yard performances. Barry had a stupid performance setting the single game rushing record and in the process eclipsing the 1000 yard barrier. Maybe we’re going to have to start another Barry watch? Emmitt Smith (how’s that feel Giant fans) was their lone bright spot, rushing for 102 yards on 14 carries. The only cause for concern was the 105 yards in penalties we amassed; maybe we’re the 70’s raiders? Also of note we now have scored more points this season than 2 teams did all of last season.
Final: 46-18 W (6-0)

Week 7
at Chicago (2-3) -11
Passing: Favre 17-24 203 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 34-112 3 td
Receiving: McCardell 8-107

This is a first for the season, we were outgained by the Bears by 18 yards. Mike Tomczak had a good day throwing the ball, passing for 274 yards but when he made a mistake we were there to capitalize with 3 interceptions. The Bears also held Barry in check, except for around the endzone. Favre was injured this game with a bruised sternum, we’re still going to suit him up, but I’ll reduce his PT.
Final: 37-13 W (7-0)

Week 8
at Green Bay (3-4) -9
Passing: Favre 17-25 215 2 td
Rushing: Sanders 27-89 2 td
Receiving: Bruce 4-86

For the second straight week the offense failed to reach the 400 yard plateau, guess I kinda jinxed them? The Packers also managed to be the first team to keep Barry under 100 yards. No matter though as a viscous John Randle hit removed Jim Harbaugh from under centre and unleashed the beast that is Anthony Bigby. Ok by beast I meant stuffed plush toy but it’s the thought that counts. This game was never close as we wrap up the first half with another convincing victory.
Final: 31-6 W (8-0)

Week 9
Bye

Good time for the bye as we had 14 players doubtful or better, nice to get some of them healed up.

[nilodor]

My personal favourite line is the opposing QB numbers, beautiful.

[nilodor]

Week 10
vs Washington (4-4) -13
Passing: Favre 15-20 202 1 td
Rushing: Sanders 25-112
Receiving: Carter 7-117

After starting off the season incredibly hot, our defense has “struggled” for them. Not like giving up massive amounts of yards, but giving up 300 ish yards consistently. Now a lot of these yards are garbage yards, like today for instance. Scott Zolak threw for 268 yards, but had 3 picks and only completed 22 of 47 pass attempts. Michael Timpson was the main beneficiary grabbing 6 balls for 137 yards and a score, but all of this didn’t matter as again we crushed the opposition. I have begun to think that all of Roy Williams and Jon Kitna’s predictions are about this team and not the 07 Lions, which is nice because football needs less crazy people.
Final: 23-10 W (9-0)

Week 11
vs Minnesota (4-5) -13
Passing: Favre 20-27 207 2 td
Rushing: Sanders 22-84 2 td
Receiving: McCardell 7-71

Another game, another Detroit backup starting at quarterback. This time it’s Bob Gagliano and Bob, much like Eric didn’t play very well against us. Barry again failed to go over the 100 yard mark and his ypc numbers keep dropping, hopefully he’ll pick it back up again. Despite the final score, the result was still up for grabs near the end of the 3rd quarter, but then our offense decided to do something embarking on 80, 58 and 92 yard touchdown drives on our last three possessions to ice the game.
Final: 35-9 W (10-0)

Injuries: Bennie Blades is out 7 weeks with torn knee cartilage, which promotes Jay Bellamy to starting SS

Week 12
vs Kansas City (2-8) -12
Passing: Favre 17-22 177 1 td 1 int
Rushing: Sanders 25-47
Receiving: Carter 4-67

Alright, the defense really stepped it up this week, holding the Chiefs to only 197 yards. In the process we also limited Dorsey Levens to 40 yards after he had gone over the century mark the last 3 weeks. This was probably Barry’s worst game as a pro averaging a paltry 1.88 yards per carry, it seems like ol Rex may have burned him out. What a quality drive summary.

Week 13
at Atlanta (6-5) -8
Passing: Favre 22-38 236 2 td
Rushing: Sanders 15-79 1 td
Receiving: Carter 4-61

Now is the time to find out how good we are. If we sweep this three game road trip, hopes will be high, if not, those seeds of doubt may start to creep in. This game started off well enough, our first two drives we good long ones that resulted in touchdowns and we were up 14-3 at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter a Brett Favre fumble set up an easy Falcons score and all of a sudden it was 14-13. We then exchanged touchdowns and at half it was 21-20. The second half was terrible and except for one drive, we were unable to gain any first downs. While our defense played well, they were unable to contain the Falcons and Hugh Millen who threw for 235 yards, but crucially didn’t commit any turnovers as our road trip got off to an inauspicious start. Also an interesting note, Millen completed passes to 11 different receivers, with none gaining more than 37 yards or catching more than 3 balls. One other thing of note, Favre was sacked 3 times but a certain person I wanted to draft would up hurrying Favre 7 times and getting 5 knockdowns.
Final: 32-28 L (11-1)

[nilodor]

We also lost Jason Sehorn for two weeks and there is a whole laundry list of guys banged up.

Week 14
at San Diego (4-8) -11
Passing: Favre 19-32 287 1 td
Rushing: Sanders 23-83 1 td
Receiving: Carter 6-139 1 td

Man we had better get home field advantage because we suck on the road. Against the lowly Chargers and Mark Vlasic Pickle we almost kicked the bucket. We are really missing Bennie Blades as we are giving up a lot of deep passes as can been seen in Kelvin Martins 20+ yard per catch average and 2 touchdowns. If it wasn’t for a late Eric Davis catch and a couple of timely Hugh Douglas sacks, this could have been a different result.
Final: 27-17 W (12-1)

Injuries: Jim Arnold is out for the season with torn ankle ligaments also our other safety is out now with a sprained neck. :eek:

Week 15
at Minnesota (6-7) -8
Passing: Favre 20-26 213 4 td
Rushing: Sanders 25-117
Receiving: Carter 7-105 1 td

Apparently the defense harboured some hostility for ol Bob Gagliano as he was sacked 11 times today. Twice each by Mark Fields, Jimmy Spencer and Jerry Ball. Joey Browner had the biggest day for the Vikings with 13 tackles and 3 passes defended. Other than that it was all Lions all the time as we held Herschel in check and waltzed to an easy victory. And I’m pretty sure we have clinched home field advantage as Carolina is 11-3 with an 8-3 record in conference compared to our 10-1. So once again the road to the superbowl goes through the Silverdome.
Final: 39-17 W (13-1)

Week 16
vs Denver (6-8) -13
Passing: Favre 21-25 302 3 td
Rushing: Sanders 17-48 2 td
Receiving: Carter 4-107 1 td

You gotta feel bad for Elway, in real life they were just gearing up to win back to back superbowls, in this world they are mired in another 500 season and then he has to deal with Jerry Ball falling on him. You really can’t blame him for not wanting to get up. This was fine for us, because after Elway left the game we had to deal with Elvis Grbac and lets just say, it went well, for us. The lone brightspot for the Broncos was Charlie Garner who ran for 105 yards on 23 carries. On a side note if Barry manages 132 yards he will become the first back to eclipse 2000 yards twice.
Final: 41-6 W (14-1)

Week 17
vs Chicago (7-8) -8
Passing: Favre 14-24 237 3 td
Rushing: Sanders 25-87 1 td
Receiving: Carter 5-97 1 td

So we really have nothing to play for this weekend, when we take the field next we’ll have our secondary back intact, with Sehorn, Blades and White all returning to action but apparently we can do fine without them as not even the Magic Man himself could put up any points on the board. The only sad note of this game is that Barry only managed 87 yards but 15-1 ain’t half bad. Onto the playoffs.
Final: 31-0 W (15-1)

I think this was a pretty remarkable season. Offensively out output ranks 4th all time behind the 98 Vikings, 83 Redskins and 2000 Rams and defensively we weren't too far behind the 2000 Ravens who allowed 165 points. Hopefully this dominance can translate into a couple of post season victories.

Receiving: McCardell 4-113

Atlanta got the ball to start the game off and promptly ran Greg Hill down our throats with an 80 yard drive ending in a field goal. Our first possession, a little less inspiring. 3 plays, -1 yards. Here we go again. But all is not lost, after we punt it away, we hold them to a 5 play drive and when we get the ball back the magic begins. Our next three drives all ended in the end zone, while all Atlanta could manage in response was a field goal, sandwiched around an interception and a punt. One more Atlanta punt and we were up 21-6 at half time.

The second half started off even better than the first. Our first possession we drove deep into Atlanta territory and settled for a field goal. Then the defense forced a 3 and out and we followed that by scoring a touchdown. One more touchdown late in the game iced this one as we get revenge for our only defeat of the season.
Final:38-9 W (16-1)

When you look at the Seahawks you’re like, they are fantastic, except for that Kubiak guy. That point was illustrated today as the Hawks played well, but Kubiak’s three interceptions all proved costly as each one led to Lions points. Our longest drive was 47 yards but it didn’t matter as our defense held Kubiak to 18 of 42 passing and a 38.3 rating. Eric Davis came up big with 2 of the picks and he really help shut down Brian Blades who only caught 5 of the 16 balls thrown his way as Sir Rice was experiencing double coverage most of the game.

1991 Draft Retrospective
Instead of doing the whole first round, I’m going to look at our draft, if you, the loyal readers liked the old way better, let me know, maybe I can be accommodating.

Pick-Name-Position-College-Then-Now

1-3 Brett Favre – QB – Southern Mississippi – 14/34 – 70/70 - DET
Favre was part of a huge deal where we sent a boat load of gifts to the Jets for the number 3 pick, it seems to have worked out as Favre led us to the championship last year, is the all time leader in quarterback rating and completion percentage and has been a total force.
78 GS – 2032 att 1363 cmp 67.1% 16304 yds 120 td 32 int 3.75:1 ratio 104.5 rating
2-15 Herman Moore – WR – Virginia – 29/53 – 57/57 – STL
Herman was only in Detroit for two seasons before being dealt in a blockbuster to Philadelphia for Cris Carter. Herman was never going to be the number 1 guy on a contender but he is a very good number 2 and it is touch and go with Keenan as to who is better.
80 GS – 314 rec 4151 yds 30 td
3-14 Keenan McCardell – WR – UNLV – 39/57 – 54/54 - DET
Alltime Lions leader in receptions and has been a consistent number 2 since he was drafted. Keenan has been excellent value for a third round pick and has an outside chance at the hall.
73 GS 336 rec 4633 yds 36 td
4-13 John Flannery – G – Syracuse – 22/48 – 38/38 – MIA
Now on his third team, Flannery is an adequate backup, but if he’s anything more you’re in trouble
79 G 5 GS 24/91 KRB 1 pck 18 sckA
5-12 Harry Boatswain – T – New Haven – 14/54 – 31/31 – MIN
Harry never quite lived up to his enormous potential, when drafted there were hopes that he would become the starting RT but after Favre got driven into the turn a few times during Harry’s spot starts the writing was on the wall.
66 G 4 GS 16/67 KRB 17 sckA
6-15 Steve Lofton – CB – Texas A&M – 13/23 - Retired
Out of football, never played a snap
7-14 Calvin Tiggle – ILB – Georgia Tech – 16/40 – Retired
Didn’t play much, was mainly a backup on the weak side, nothing really of note
48 G 2 GS 9 tck 5 asst 0.5 sck
Grade then: B
Grade now: A- Favre and two very good receivers is a pretty damn good draft

[nilodor]

I was reading this dynasty and my 1 year old son started pushing buttons on my laptop. I think he meant to say this is a 5 star dynasty.

Hopefully that and not shitty, shitty dynasty.

[Travis]

Congrats on the title, though, well, damn. A bit more of a competitive game would've been okay...

Detroit Lions Roster, Scout Overview

Player # Pos Start Exp Current Estimate Future Estimate Cntrct
Favre, Brett 4 QB QB 6 70 70 5 yrs
Frerotte, Gus 8 QB 3 12 32 1 yr.
Zeier, Eric 17 QB 2 22 48 2 yrs

Favre is the unquestioned leader of this team. He is one of the best
at his position and with him we can win any game. Without him we're
looking at either Eric "Light My" Zeier or Gus "Headbutt" Frerotte,
not exactly the most inspiring choices.
Rating: B+

Sanders, Barry 20 RB RB 8 78 78 2 yrs
Hampton, Rodney 26 RB 7 35 35 1 yr.
Phillips, Lawrence 29 RB 1 26 37 3 yrs
Vardell, Tommy 43 FB 5 31 35 1 yr.
Strong, Mack 34 FB FB 3 39 45 1 yr.

Barry is slipping a little the last couple of seasons, but he is still
dominant and still 3 good seasons away from the all-time rushing record.
Behind him Hampton is servicable and Strong and Vardell are outstanding
blockers, but nothing much more.

##Lewis, Jermaine 85 SE 1 13 21 3 yrs

Carter, McCardell and Bruce form one of the best trio's in the game today.
Anyone can dominate the field and they all can score from anywhere on the
field. Centers doesn't offer much as a blocker but is a dependable target
and gives defenses fits.

Boselli, Tony 78 RT 2 35 49 3 yrs

The line is in transition as Glover is now the backup at center and a new
guard and tackle are on the horizon. This unit is good, but not great.
They should still be able to open holes for Barry and keep Brett upright
but don't ask for any miracles because your calls won't be answered.

With Rice and Douglas this unit has successfully transitioned to the
next generation. The development of Rice will dictate how well these
guys perform as a whole. The only problem is there is no real stud
all the pieces are good but no one is going to take over a game if
we need it.

Fields, Mark 56 SLB SLB 2 42 58 3 yrs
Emmons, Carlos 99 WLB WLB 1 25 44 4 yrs

Another solid unit. Spielman has lost a step and is no longer the
star he once was. Eric Hill has really turned it on and he should
see his role expanded on the team this year. Fields is coming into
his own and Emmons will see limited action on the weakside coming
out for all of the subpackages.

##Teague, George 46 FS 4 26 37 2 yrs

All of the starters can play at probowl level and this unit should
give opposing passing attacks fits. Eric Davis is one of the best
at his position, although it would be nice if he could hold onto a
few more of the passes he breaks up. Sehorn is really coming into
his own and should be a force for years to come. The injuries to
White and Blades exposed the lack of depth at safety. Bellamy and
Teague should only be counted on for short stretches, any more and
bad things will happen.

Congrats on the title, though, well, damn. A bit more of a competitive game would've been okay...

Not the best day to be a Moon fan.

One last thing to do before the season starts, lets take a quick comparison of Robo Barry, Real Barry and Emmitt (through the first 7 seasons)


Player Att Yards Average Touchdowns Rec Yards TD
Robo Barry 2855 12475 4.37 93 330 2231 15
Real Barry 2077 10172 4.90 73 258 2180 7
Emmitt 2334 10160 4.35 108

So robo Barry is way ahead in attempts which is probably what is hurting his ypc but he is well on his way to getting the alltime rushing record.
