I'd be kind of afraid that would be replacing one out of touch guy with another, though certainly not as bad.
Instead of the Love him/Hate him discussion, we're all going to see very soon whether Tebow is a good NFL QB or not. That's the great thing about this game. Opinions and predictions are proved on the field. Give him the rest of the year we'll find out. One way or the other.
Next discussion.......
Note: The last time the Lions and Packers both started 5-0: 1931 - the Lions were known as the Portsmouth Spartans

I agree.that's why I said the NFL isn't college but I hope he proves many of us wrong.I was not a big fan of his in college, but after reading up on a few things about him and his family...I became a very big fan of the person and also feel he has gotten a bum rap before he has gotten a chance to prove himself. But for how great he was in college...the NFL ain't college. For how great the SEC defenses supposedly were, NFL defenders are bigger, faster and stronger. Success in college, regardless of school OR conference, does not equate success in the NFL.
Why do you say that? Are their stories of him being out of touch? Because he was friends with Al?
I think he meant when both teams started 5-0 at the same time. I don't know about the Packers history but the longest the Lions stayed undefeated was back in 1934 when they went 10-0 and it was their first year in Detroit. Can they beat that record this year? I think it's possible.Last time the Lions started 5-0 was 1956.

You Lions fans are HIGH!

:haha...and dinosaurs roamed the earth....
HIGH on winning!!!!You Lions fans are HIGH!
Because Madden is also getting to be very old, and has been away from the game so long. (I'm thinking that's what he meant. Makes sense to me. No conspiracies afoot.)
Good pickup by the Raiders today IMO, Aaron Curry acquired from the Seahawks for a 7th and a conditional pick the year following.
Some bad news for the 49ers this morning. I'm sure this will affect their game plan against the Lions. NFL.com news: 49ers WR Morgan out for rest of season with broken leg
I just can't get over all the season ending injuries this year. I had read that according to Adam Schefter and others, this amount of injuries have supposedly been the same as any year...but to me, it seem like more.

Me too, especially the pectoral injuries. Never really heard of them before last year(Dumervil), and there are many across the league (including Broncos) this year, it seems. And arm muscle and groin injuries.
Lots of torn/strained muscle injuries.....

IMO, I think the lack of OTAs and a somewhat fast pre-season has alot to do with this. The Raiders have yet to play with a complete starting defensive line-up and WR corp all season. But I would not doubt alot of teams are in the same boat.
