The Lions look like they are in prime shape for another Thanksgiving Day stinker. They blew the game on Sunday against the Packers which essentially ended any kind of playoff hopes, starting LT Backus is likely to miss the first game of his career (he's a local whipping boy, but I think folks around here will get a rude wake-up call about just how steady he has been), Titus Young has been sent home for the week for conduct detrimental to the team and they are playing the 9-1 Houston Texans.
For the last several years Thanksgiving Day has just been humiliations galore for the Lions. The last one the Lions won was in 2003 versus Favre and the Packers. I remember watching that game in a bar in Brussels. Dre Bly played well that day. After that... 2004 - Peyton Manning destroys the Lions 2005 - Michael Vick destroys the Lions 2006 - A Joey Harrington led Dolphins team comes in and humiliates the Lions 2007 - Packers destroy the Lions 2008 - The Tennesee Titans and Chris Johnson obliderate the Lions 2009 - The Packers crush the Lions 2010 - The Lions sort of hang with the Patriots for the first half and then Tom Brady destroys the Lions (Alphonso Smith's career ended this day) 2011 - Packers beat the Lions in the "stomp" game

Got to love delusional Cowboy fans.
Here's a sample from my fb feed: NFC Power Rankings through week 12 1. Atlanta Falcons -- 2. Dallas Cowboys +1 3. Chicago Bears -1 4. Green Bay Packers -- 5. N.Y. Giants -- 6. Seattle Seahawks -- 7. San Francisco 49ers +1 8. New Orleans Saints -1 9. Tampa Bay Buccs +1 10. Minnesota Vikings -1 And his defense: "strength of schedule, out playing opponents. if we got the forward progress call from ravens and if dez cut his fingernails against giants we would be 7-3. you wouldnt rank a 7-3 team in top 3?"

As a Cowboys fan the only thing that has me optimistic is their remaining schedule vs the Giants remaining schedule. No optimism comes from what I've seen on the field this season.

How would you rank the Bears 3rd and 49ers 7th?

That is too funny. And had the Chargers not lost 6 games this season, they'd be 10-0, so I'm going to rank them number 1.

If it wasn't for the fact that the Eagles sucked they would have won more games so I will rank them #1...

The Browns are handing out white flags for the Steelers game because apparently there are not enough things to laugh about with the team already.

Inadvertent touching of a punt turning it into a live ball is a sketchy rule.

It wouldn't have mattered in fact though because a lion touched the ball first.
Once that happens all bets were off, as far as whether or not it touched quin. Once the kicking team touches the ball the receiving team can't fumble till they have controll of the ball. Pretty tough to think they couldn't find a definitive view of it touching the guy though. Last edited by Glengoyne : 11-22-2012 at 12:22 PM. |

What the hell was Coleman looking at on the replay? That ball was clearly touched.

The only clear touch I saw was the lion reaching out to touch it. That actually made the rest not matter.
They didn't show the ball touch quin, which is what would be required to overturn the call. The rest of us can clearly infer the touch from the ball changing directions and the guys reaction, but the ref cant do that. Last edited by Glengoyne : 11-22-2012 at 12:28 PM. |

Nice touchdown for Johnson there. As soon as the pass went up I thought it had INT written all over it, but I guess megaton isn't megaton for nothing.

I've always been a Suh apologist, but he's just a ridiculously dirty player.

Megat*R*on. But megaton would be great for a huge D-lineman. Who do I submit that idea to? Quote:
I hate to hate my own players so I'm trying to think the best. I think he was trying to kick the QB in order to throw off the throw, rather than to injure anyone. I don't like the direction this team is heading. Beginning to feel that Schwartz ain't the coach that can turn this into a disciplined, classy, winning team. Other opinions? |

Stafford can look so good at times. I think he has poor fundamentals which is his biggest problem. Sometimes he looks like Drew Brees with his accuracy at other times he looks like Tim Tebow.

I don't buy for a second that there wasn't something they could have done about that. All scoring plays are reviewed. What the heck.
Now the clarification...because the coach throws the flag...they can't review it? Un believable. |

How about just a delay of game for throwing a challenge flag when you shouldn't ?
