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: Code:
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. |

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

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. Code:
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) |

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. 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.

Wild Card
24 Atlanta 17 Dallas 16 Carolina 20 Seattle 31 Cincinnati 15 Oakland 14 Tennessee 7 Houston Division Round vs Atlanta (10-7) -6 Passing: Favre 18-26 239 2 td Rushing: Sanders 19-109 1 td 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) A big loss today as Kevin Clark is out for the season with a torn ACL. 23 Seattle 7 New Orleans 16 Cincinnati 21 Miami 21 Tennessee 14 Pittsburgh Conference Finals vs Seattle (12-6) -11 Passing: Favre 19-29 218 1 td Rushing: Sanders 26-142 1 td Receiving: Carter 5-75 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. Final: 20-7 W (17-1) 10 Tennessee 3 Miami Marino again gets denied a trip to the big game. |

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.

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 |

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

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)
