"Hey, Learn The Fucking Rules!"


Ha ha ha. . .love the scorn and contempt Schwartz had for the zebras after the Lions memorable comeback win over the Vkings.  Ha ha ha. . .learn the fucking rules, you idiots, don't try to rain on the Lions parade with some moronic zebra huddle-up trying to figure out if this is the fucking playoffs or not. . .Schwartz is really starting to grow on me. . .now that the Lions are winning, I like his edgy attitude.

The Lions started out terrible.  Mathilda Stafford took a helluva beating in the first half. . .but she got up everytime and lasted the whole game, and I as figured she would if she could hold up, she put up enough points for the Lions to sneak past #28 and end their long drought in Minny.  I kept waiting for Mathilda to stay down, or mince off the field holding her shoulder, but she kept getting up and kept firing, and in the second half, the (passing) yards and points rained down on the Vikings inside their dumbly named *Mall of America Field.*  There's a long way to go, plenty more hits to absorb, but Mathilda passed her first endurance test today with flying colors.

Not to be overlooked is Lions defense shutting out #28 in the second half--that kept the game salvageable while Mathilda and Johnson and even old Pettigrew were getting warmed up.

Great win for the Detroit Lions. . .great audio from Schwartz.

The lack of a running game is still troubling, though. . .

Other games:

I get the feeling the window has now closed on the Patriots and Brady. . .no more Super Bowls. . .Brady isn't the *winner* he once was. . .still a great QB, but he is now beatable. . .and the Patriots defense isn't what it was, either. 

I don't know how Tampa beats Atlanta.  The better team lost that one. . .

I was not surprised to see the Raiders run over the Jets. . .the Raiders have a real old school running game, and they can punish most of the modern NFL's new school faggy defenses, even the so-called hard defense of blowhard Rex Ryan.

Michael Vick whining about getting hit. . .he don't get it. . .you keep your mouth shut after you've been given the breaks he's been given.  I blame Tony Dungy. . .all his pampering of Vick has made Vick believe he is *redeemed.* 

The other preseason hype team, St. Louis, is the biggest flop of the season.  Jim Harbaugh could win that crappy division in his rookie year.  But man, that 49ers - Bengals game must have been painful to watch.

Best box score stat of the day: Matt Forte, 9 carries for 2 yards.  Ha ha ha. . .a real Mike Martz System special.

  1. hahahaha, at least coach said his thing AFTER the officials said "FG good, game over. . . . "

    We didn't get the Lions down here but saw MN was up on DET by 20 at the half. Nice comeback. Surprised Stafford didn't go gimp. . . . it still seems like a matter of time.

    Atlanta looked horrible. They could not get it together once. TB's offense is not strong. Freeman is an okay QB. Blount is an okay runner. They don't have anything that looks great. Not that I saw.

    Atlanta looked bad. Julio Jones looked real good and is becoming a factor. The Smith teams seem to need a lot of preparation and the shorter pre-season has hurt them. The Seattle game should bring back some confidence, but 1-2? Oof.

    Saw the INDY game. Collins looks horrible. The blond guy they brought in after Collins was "concussed" (weird situation) was even worse. The loss of Manning is a complete disaster for the offense. Changing plays at the line, reading defenses on the fly. . . . it's key for the INDY offense and Manning was good at it. The INDY coaching is poor. They can't adjust to the limited abilities of Collins. . . . and they were probably stupid to get a guy who'd just retired and seemed okay with his Harley and writing country songs in Nashville.

    And now Vick. "I don't want to complain, but. . . . " Imagine if Vick complained? Vick has bitched about taking hits since 2002. Now he complains that players don't get flagged from hitting him. I've seen legal hits on the guy. He holds onto the ball a long time and scrambles a lot.

    Those guys get hit a lot. Steve Young used to get tagged. Vick needs to admit that he doesn't want to be hit at all in football. Shoot, the "injury" from last week was Vick hitting his head on his own damn teammate.

    I still haven't seen a hit on Vick that was truly satisfying. A bone-jarring, teeth-rattling hit and then a drive into the ground that snaps the head back, bouncing it off the turf, and a distinct thud from the entire body slamming into the ground followed by a struggled scream and carried off on a stretcher with the neck secured. . . . that would be a satisfying hit. It's not the dog-fighting. I've never liked Vick. Never. He's always been a whiner. He's always been entitled. He had his own handler (Billy "White Shoes") in Atlanta who kept him from real trouble.

    Take Vick out of football and Vick would be a prison bitch. A queen with her cute lil earrings.

    NO looks strong. They need to figure out the running game more. They need to look at the block schemes that Warrick Dunn used to fit Ingram. Brees, even with the INT's, looked good. When they start cooking, they appear unstoppable.

    Cutler appears to have given up against GB. Man.

    GB looks unstoppable.

  2. The Pats remind me of the Walking Distance episode from the Twilight Zone. . . . "no more ice-cream cones, no more music concerts. . . . "
