Let's see...the Lions defense is struggling. The Lions offense struggles in the 3rd quarter. Common sense says if you win the coin toss, take the ball.
Chuck Long was also in the horrible QB mix. The Lions of the '90's were pretty good compared to many other decades. Of course, that isn't saying much. IMO, the Lions are the very worst run franchise in all of sports.
I'm really worried about the 3 game stretch...Denver here...at Vikings and at Dallas. We may catch a break against the Broncos, it's their 3rd game of a 3 game road trip.
Yeah, he yells. Hockey announcers usually get excited by scoring chances but he has a yell like way about him.
4-0...Stevie may have built a playoff team!
But after the 2006 season, he was quick to point out that Tram didn't have the players he did. JV and Zumaya. And he gave Tram credit for laying the foundation of a winning culture. He always tried to deflect credit for his success.
I would have voted for him just for the way he chewed out Barry Bonds. He quickly established who was in charge! And I remember in 2006 when the Tigers played uninspired ball right before a road trip, he laid into them. The guy was one of the last old school managers. He deserves the HOF.
Green Bay is going to win out so Detroit needs 3 wins. Win in Chicago and either a split with the Vikings and beat Denver or a win in Chicago and a sweep against Minnesota (my choice).
If the officials didn't ignore defensive pass interference, it would have been different. Legal gambling and ignoring obvious penalties makes the NFL credibility at an all time low. Kinda like big time wrestling with more injuries.
