Wow Steelers. The over shot long snap that became a safety was THE most humiliating thing I have ever seen the Steelers do.

Not really he was a linebacker, playing as a long snapper. He never did it before.

Who do you guys think has the best shot of going winless? Detroit or Cincinnati?
I go for Cincinnati.

 

[Peeze]

Nah cincy might pull one out. Detroit is hopeless. They're starting a qb who ran for a safety...

 

[SharkAttack]

I go for Cincinnati.

The Lions for sure. On their schedule they've got to play Tennessee, Indy, Jacksonville, Green Bay, New Orleans, Carolina, Chicago and Minnesota.

Their only shot out of all these games is likely the Vikings due to almost beating them in Minnesota. The Lions haven't been blownout the last two games but I don't really think they'll beat these teams. In 2001 they had more close games it seemed like and that they could have snapped that 0-10 streak rather soon. This year it seems rather hopeless. To bad they don't play the Bengals for the final game of the year. That would be interesting to watch.....Maybe not.

Bengals might go winless as well. At first it appeared they may get some wins after making it close with the Giants and even Dallas but now they're just falling apart. Wouldn't suprise me if none of these two teams got a win the rest of the year.

 

[Proud_Smash_N00b]

They both have hard schedules
unlike the Patriots who are 5-2 cuz of their easy a** schedule...

It's just my opinion that alot of sports are imbalanced because some teams hog all the good people like New England and Dallas while the crappier teams like Oakland make alot of coaching changes cuz the team is sucking. It's not always just the coach's fault, it's also because there's not alot of talent on that particular team.

I go for Cincinnati.

I say Detroit because I like the Bengals better.

And they have an easier schedule than the Lions.

 

[JLynn943]

Detroit will beat somebody in the NFC North. It doesn't matter how good either team is (Chicago beating Green Bay twice last year?), if they're both NFC North teams, it will be a good game. It's just how that division works.

 

[OF 'til I OD]

They're starting a qb who ran for a safety...

"Were they offsides or something?"

 

[Peeze]

You lost me at hello?

 

[Proud_Smash_N00b]

I just learned that a teacher in my school is a ref in the NFL..
lawlz

 

[Hey_its_YO]

Lions will get 1 win Guaranteed

[JLynn943]

so angry right now. the packers had literally 5 opportunities to get interceptions, but screwed up each one of them. that game should have been ours.

 

[eman]

My Lions are still in. If they go 8-0 they will finish .500 this season! LMAO

 

[Deleted member]

Wow, Detroit can find any way to lose can't they?
First they lose by 2 points by running out of the back of the end zone
and now they blow 4th quarter leads! What's next Detroit?

 

[XACE-K]

Happy that my Jets won but it's really obvious that something's wrong with Favre.

And Bengals won. :O

 

[JLynn943]

As a Packers fan who watched Brett do the same thing under Mike Sherman, I can tell you what's wrong: He needs stricter coaching.

There could be a game when they lose because someone pulls off a Desean Jackson
hahaha
Bernard Berrian is too good

 

[~rh]

Man, Dallas needs to step their game up.

My Giants, 7-1 =]

 

[Peeze]

So that solves the question of will detroit or cincy win this year.

I totally missed this comment. Looking at your next games... not gonna happen bro

That's for sure. I was watching this game at home a little bit before half when the Lions were up 23-13. I was shocked they were leading but wasn't for the least bit thinking they were gonna win. Sure enough that was the case.

After following the Lions over the years it always seems to me they panic or something at the end. They can play strong at times and then at the end they either worry or something and blow it. Can't pinpoint the exact games this has happenend but here's a list:

December 3, 2006 against New England at Foxboro. Detroit was leading in the 4th Quarter and then their QB (I think Kitna) threw 2 Interceptions which allowed the Patriots to come back.

Allowed Dallas to come back at home last year in the final minute. Romo threw a touchdown pass.

Against the Vikings this year Minnesota scored in the final 60 seconds to beat Detroit

Against the Packers in week 2 this season the Lions climbed out of a big deficit to take a 25-24 lead just to give up 24 points in like 8 minutes in the 4th.

And then today allowing the Bears to come back. (At least they didn't get shalacked)


Alright enough with Detroit. Wondering what teams are gonna make the playoffs. Halfway through the year and their are alot of teams with close records around 500 with the exception of a few (Titans, Giants, Patriots, Steelers, Redskins) Who gets in? Who will get hot at the end? Dallas was looking great at first but now their on the fence. What about Atlanta? December's gonna be interesting to watch.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

i hate being from detroit and loving football....cuz we're just so bad.

 

[Mike87]

The Lions arent going to recover from Matt Millen's screw ups for a long long time

 

[Deleted member]

...............

 

[SharkAttack]

The Giants are playing good this year. They definately are playoff bound as long as no key injuries take place.

 

[Hey_its_YO]

Giants have lost Osi Strahan and shockey, as long as we dont lose manning at the helm most of the 2nd string guys will probably step it up as they have so far lol

 

[Hey_Its_Nacker]

Where are you ? (YO)


Also in the past 2-3 weeks the vikings have been getting touchdowns instead of settling for ***** *** field goals , thus making them the best football team ever xD .

 

[Peeze]

I 2nd that.

 

[Mike87]

Man Chad Penningtion is clutch, I've seen so many times whre the Dolphins would just fold when the pressure is on but not this year, they are not going to give up.
And they have the easiest remaining schedule while they are one game back from taking the AFCE, this is going to be an exciting half a season.

I thought they'd win 5-7 games this year but I highly doubt, they'd fall apart now.

Week 10 pix (with reasons because I'm bored)

Denver- hard choice for me. Brady Quinn could mess up, even though he might not due to a bad Bronco D
Baltimore- Good Defense vs an injured Matt Schaub.. sounds one sided
Atlanta- Saints have a bad secondary and Ryan's been doing good lately
Tennessee- Orton could be out and Tennessee's defense is too good
Jacksonville- could be close but I think they will do better than last week
Miami- still no Hasselbeck for Seattle. I wonder why Pennington didn't do good with the Jets, he's good
Green Bay- they beat Minnesota how many times in a row? They have a good secondary and are one of the tops in takeaways
New England- another tough choice, Bills are in a slump but NE lost Harrison.
NY Jets- their D will carry them in case Favre messes up (again)
Carolina- releasing DeAngelo Hall could make things easier for the passing game
Pittsburgh- a refreshed Willie Parker will run over the Colt's 32nd rank run defense. And there's also the Steeler's defense.
San Diego- comin off a bye week and facing a team with no LJ and bad passing D
NY Giants- Giants may be able to slow down Westbrook and pressure McNabb to make mistakes
Arizona- we still don't know how good Singletary is as a coach

 

[Stratford]

The Lions are actually the best.

 

[Peeze]

....at being the worst.

 

[Proud_Smash_N00b]

I lol'd at the 2 Viking Safeties

but seriously, they suck at special teams
sadface

 

[XACE-K]

Jets, f*** yeah!

Even though it was the Rams, whenever I read the newspaper for the bets on this game, most people said the Rams would win. Well they didn't and I laugh at all the people who said they would win.
