It was an ugly game last night, but Lawrence Timmons for MVP of the game. Honorable mention to Mike Wallace for that WTF catch.


Also, Ben would get injured before the Ravens game....that I also happen to be going to. I JUST GOTTA PICK UP THE SLACK WITH EXTRA HYPE WHILE I'M THERE I GUESS.

Well....that's 9 straight Thanksgiving Day losses for the Lions. When Jason Hanson was going for the game winner I had some belief the Lions were going to pull out a W. Once the miss happened, the Lions were done.

I felt bad for Hanson. He kicked a game winner in OT against the Steelers in 1998, although I admit the coin toss in that game was janked up. I still can't believe he's been in the NFL this long for one team, in fact he's been a Lion all his career since about 1993ish. It would have been awesome to see him make that kick.

Great game Texans. They did get lucky on that TD with the challenge flag, but knowing the culture of the Lions, there would have been no guarantee that they would have put the Texans away. The Lions generally find a way to let one get away game after game, year after year; however with their 10-6 season last year, some big names like Matthew Stafford and CalvinJohnson, and lastly the urgency to win this game, the upset just might have happened.

I will admit Kaep has a higher ceiling than Alex. I think Kaep is clutch when the time comes though. Smith I know is. I dunno...this is a shaky situation to be in.

Also, both Seahawk CBs might be suspended 4 games each for substance abuse. That will hurt.

Cleveland, Ohio! my homeplace but for now living i
well
you have 2 games to go of kapernick
defenses have to have time
and alex smith for winning 9+ games this year taking his team to a conference championship which was a couple of special teams mistakes away from a Superbowl appearance.

you could hurt alex smith if you bench him

and if kapernick starts to suck or his immaturity starts to show which is highly probable (of course he could be great for all i know)
but if he starts to suck its a bad situation to be in.

Definitely a terrible tragedy... you just never know what some people are going through. I had read in the NFL.com article that he was talking to his coach and the GM, and that ESPN article cleared that part up... Hard to hear that he was thanking them for everything =(

Amazing game played under tough circumstances. Learned today as well that the girl killed was the cousin of the wife of jamal charles. Just glad to see a chiefs win regardless of how little of a win it was

I'm in agreement that Smith should have never been benches in the first place.

I don't like the possibility of this rule change to eliminate kickoffs

I don't think it will happen overall, but eliminating kickoffs would be horrible. It's one of the biggest parts of the game, and special teams can be a real game changer.

I wonder what Devon Hester is thinking about this?

That is absolutely horrid. To win in the NFL, you need a strong offense, a strong defense, and strong special teams.

Why change something that has worked perfectly. Sounds like they're following Youtube.

^ ha!
I havent had much reason to cheer lately.
Christian Ponder is really terrible. And he needs to go. He is wasting a fantastic season by Adrian Peterson. But Frasier is too proud to admit his first round draft pick failed.
