Sick Nasty: Eagles-56 Lions-21

At halftime of the San Diego/Green Bay game, Dan Marino elequently described the Eagles’ route of the Lions as “Sick Nasty”  To tell you the truth, the score wasnt the only thing that was sick nasty on the field. For starters, no one on the field played defense yesterday. Philadelphia gave up 536 yards while Detroit gave up 432 yards.

Secondly, look at Philly’s uniforms LOL! The Eagles are celebrating their 75th anniversary and they are wearing the 1933 jerseys for a few games. Hey, if they can put out the same effort sans the sloppy defense, they should keep the uniforms for the rest of the year..

RED ZONE’S SEASON FORECAST: NFC NORTH

1. Bears

This team will win games despite having Rex (your game is) Grossman as quarterback! You can put that in  7 inch headlines. Their defense will only continue where they left off last season.

2007 projected record 12-4

2. Vikings

Look for Minnesota to rebound from thier disasterous 2006 campaign. The offense is fresh, young and explosive. Rookie RB Adrian Peterson is one of the early favorites for rookie of the year.

2007 projected record  9-7

3.Lions

Playoffs? You all are talking about playoffs? are you joking? While Calvin Johnson is a great pick compared to the reveivers that that they had in the past, it is worthless without a competent quarterback. Honestly, this team will never get far as long as Matt Millen is the GM

2007 projected record  4-12

4. Packers

A tired Brett Favre- Ahman Green-Wide Receivers+ a lackluster and mediocre defense= a recipe for disaster.

2007 projected record 3-13

Don’t Hate The Players. Hate the GaMe

 

 

Since 2001, the Detroit Lions recorded a staggering and downright vulgar record of 24 wins and 72 losses. While the players and coaches have their role to play in this, dont direct your ire, disgust, and rage to these guys. After all, they are trying to turn chicken crap into chicken salad. The blame for the Lions’ sad state should be and is on the hands and shoulders of general manager Matt Millen and team owner William Clay Ford!

For six years, Millen picked bust after bust and signed players of questionable athletic prowess. The result: six seasons of embarassing futility. If that is not bad enough, Ford gave this hack a  five year extension at the beginning of the 2005 season, and apparently have no regrets in that decison. What in the blue and silver hell is wrong with Ford? Doesn’t he realize that this decision is the main reason why the Lions haven’t been to the playoffs since 1999? Unfortunately for  hard-working, self-respecting Lions fans, Ford can give 1/4ths of a damn about the state of the team. If he did, he wouldn’t have signed Millen to ruin future seasons.

The Lions can get out of this mess easily by listening to the fans’ cries of “Fire Millen” This guy is front office poison, and it is up to Ford to suck the venom out of this gaping wound.

Just because a man was a decent player in his day, doesn’t mean he should coach or run your team!
