I recently started a blog, basically to post any sports stats/history that comes across my mind. I just put together a listing of all the games.

Since the last time we won it seems most of those games have been us getting our asses kicked..

 

[mhughes0021]

wonder if Houston will play....not that it matters much.

 

[kdp80]

Slay!!!!

I kinda wish the Lions would take a chance on Asomugha its not like he is going to hurt this secondary, it's impossible for them to suck worse than they do already.

I don't know....the 49ers cut him because they thought that they had 6 cb's that were better than him. The 49ers defense is good because of their excellent front 7...not their secondary (although thier secondary is better as a unit than the Lions). I just don't think he has anything left.

he got married and turned to shit....let it be a lesson to everyone.

He's been a FA for over 3 weeks now...that's a red flag by itself. Now while I don't fully trust the competence of this organization, I do trust the collective competence of 31 other teams....he's either blacklisted or done.

 

[Mitchrapp]

That's a good point, Grandy. 31 teams say no so that's a red flag in itself.

Houston doubtful. Slay it is.


Pack no Rodgers, Hayward,Finley and Cobb versus no Houston, Jason Jones and Broyles.


Detroit must win.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I rather have Rodgers play then we might have a chance. We seem to play down to the competition. Backup QB's have a history against us and its not good.

He got Kerry Washington pregnant....probably isn't too concerned with work right now.

 

[biggunsbob]

Win..

Or fire them all.....

 

[tigermud]

Winner of this game likely goes on to win the div IMO, it's now or never lions...now or never

 

[Mitchrapp]

Win..

Or fire them all.....

How about win and fire them all?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone

Kickoff in about 2 hours
