I watched the Lions game, and it was eye-opening. More like jaw-dropping.
That is the first time I have seen them this year. I have watched every Bengals game this year, and they have NEVER played THAT bad (well, maybe against Houston). That had to be the worst display of defense I have ever seen.
If they play like that every game the rest of the year, they WILL run the table.
Like I said in "Daze of our Lions", the rest of you fine people here finally got see what Jimbo and I have been talking about for all these years. Trust me when I tell you that this is, with out any doubt, the worst team in NFL history. That includes the Tampa Bay franchise that went 0-24. (Or was it 0-26?). At least they had an excuse, seeing that they were a new franchise. Look at the last 4 games - Minnesota, (away, and we almost never win there), INDY, (you just know Manning is just licking his chops), New Orleans, (those guys scored 51 against Minnesota, and they PLAY defense.), and finally Green Bay (who will be fighting for a playoff spot, the same as the last three teams, and the added bonus of that we can't win in Lambeau).
0-16 is almost guaranteed. I defy anyone to tell me how this team could win any of these games. Opposing QB goes down? Minnesota's QB and Aaron Rodgers don't scare anyone, anyhow. We'll make stars of their back-ups. Besides Minnesota only has to hand the ball off to Peterson. Me and my bad knees could run through the holes Minnesota's line will make in that game. I could go on and on...
Sabre was right about my head exploding - except that it already happened. The new head will explode also if the Lions screw up this chance at immortality. I mean, what's the point of a 1-15 or 2-14 season? If you're going to screw the pooch, go all the way.
The last time we did this a few seasons ago, our loss differential was like 8 pts. a game. This is what, 4 years later, and we've gotten worse? We're losing by 25 pts. a game AT HOME! Our starting QB is a guy even the Chiefs didn't want. Most of these players wouldn't even have jobs in the Arena football league.
I got to stop now, my head's ready to explode again!
