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.
We swept the NFC south, didn't we? The Lions are 5-1 on the road, where it's very hard to win in the NFL. I refuse to apologize for a victory, especially on the road. Winning ugly is still winning...
Having Atlanta come back to Ford Field would be our best shot at winning a playoff game. But I think we would need to be a 2 seed and I'm not sure if that's possible. Maybe...
A few key injuries really hurt a defense that doesn't have a lot of depth. I agree, we need to draft some defensive pieces. And a few FA signings very well could put us over the top. This offense is for real.
He was. And the ref was looking right at him. No excuse for not calling it. It's why people question the credibility of the NFL. Allowing gambling and just ignore obvious penalties? Yeah.....
