I don't buy it. It's too late for me to buy it. Seems like damage control at this point.

Yeah, we'll see. This should have been yesterday after the game.

Lol knew those responses were coming. Not saying they're wrong in anyway though.

Besides, we all knew that was coming eventually after the press conference.

I love having the guy on the Lions but damn he needs to dial it back a bit.

So damage control, and not even great apology. Ik it is a divisionally rivalry but he could have apologized to the guy he stomped on.

And I don't think James Jones has been too dropsy this year, according to ESPN he has caught 24 of 31 targets, which means 20.8% of his catches are TDs, best on the team. Nelson is second with 20.4% of his catches being TDs.
I'm alot more worried about Finley, i think his run blocking is average more often then not and he has either dropped or not caught that should have been.
Of GB's top 5 recievers, he has the lowest catch rate at 36 of 53 for 67.9%.

Jumping in late, but Suh is now officially on my bitchmade list.

Not as bad as Albert Haynesworth though.

Loved Stafford's comments after the game, too.

We really match up well with that team, but we didn't get any breaks. Really? Throwing 3 int's and 2 into coverage is the same as you didn't get any breaks?

No Allstate commercials for Stafford until he stops throwing into coverage and trying to throw jump balls to Megatron during games.

I just get irritated when players try to justify they match up well with the other team. If that was the case, you would have been in the game and maybe even won the game.

Not sure if it was mentioned, but Williams did a bang up job shutting down Megaton. 4 catches, 79yds and a garbage time TD.

I'm going to be honest. We don't deserve a shot at the playoff's. The way we have been playing we just don't deserve it.

I completely agree with roadman. Stafford is turning into a problem for us. Throw's too many INT's trying to force throws in, and then makes ridiculous comments.

I defended Suh a lot. No more. His behaviour is disgracful. Bench him. Schwartz is the kind of guy who doesn't take crap. Make an example of him now.

We're a young team learning to win, trying to be part of the city's re-building process, trying to make people believe. We're attracting far too much negative attention.

I'm pretty angry with this team right now.

Rodgers gets the ball back with just under 2 remaining and drives down the field quickly only to have James Jones drop a sure-fire TD in the endzone as time expires. Ok, maybe not, but I don't think the Packers win this. Maybe if we slow down Megatron enough though.

7-7 in the 4th quarter? The 85 Bears or 2000 Ravens might hold Rodgers to 7 points in the 4th quarter, but not the 11 Lions.
