I knew this was coming. But damn... he didn't even make it halfway through the season. Stafford was loosing yardage getting sacked left and right, where the hell was the offensive line? they ran through the offensive line like they were just Cass Tech High School students.

I'm not going to lie, the defense actually surprised me. They held them to field goals quite a few times but I started to feel sorry for them, their tired. Defense couldn't catch a break for more than 5 minutes. Coach probably told the defense to not even take their helmets off because they'll be right back out there.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm impressed. I thought this was going to be a easy win for Green Bay, especially at home. They were actually looking half decent yesterday. First win in Green Bay since 1991... go Lions.

Seems like the Lions were playing against an evenly matched team yesterday. I was rooting for the Lions, but I can't believe Green Bay's kicker flubbed that kick. I thought that was for sure a clutch in the bag for GB. Welp, we finally won in Green Bay after 24 games. Too bad it had to be during a 2-7 season.

Yesterday's win was certainly stunning. My theory on it is that the players and coaches are starting to play out of their heads because they know Martha Ford is getting impatient and she will not be shy about cleaning house. They are fighting for their dear lives. Let's face it, a lot of these players on the Lions couldn't get a place on another team's practice squad if they tried. They're going to play their a's off because they know if they don't, they may never see the light of day in the NFL again! Remember, playing for the Lions is a one-chance, and many times last-chance, opportunity for many players and coaches. If they don't make it here, it is more than likely the end for them.

That's a bit hyperbolic. The Lions have some good players if none above-average. I think it has more to do with the fact that fans will stop showing up to games if they continue to play the same way. Nothing more demoralizing than an empty stadium and falling ticket prices.

Well what do you guys think about the new GM Bob Quinn? I think it's a good move but we'll see
Do you think Caldwell should stay or go? I'll give him another shot. He did take us to the playoffs.
And I hope to GOD Calvin Johnson doesn't retire.
