And I agree with Thayer that hit started high just like the one Cutler was flagged for. Seems after Favre injured a guy with a real crack back they have been over anxious to flag guys for crackbacks. And yes the bogus face mask was AB and it was a clean tackle that gave the Lions their second fresh set of downs after we forced a FG attempt. All Whale got was jersy and never got near his neck. There's a reason it wasn't called horscollar on the field and that's because it wasn't. If Stafford hadn'd been injured on the play it would have never drew a fine. The play in question

Agree and I'd like to see Stafford can stay healthy he's got talent. I mentioned earlier that I can't recall the last time all the teams in our division were competitive. The Lions have been the bottom feeder of the NFC North for a long time back to when it was the NFC Central. They won't be able to use the "well it's a weak division" excuse anymore. Right now it's 3 team race but before long the Lions could enter that race.

I'd say Minny is the team I most hate, probably stems from Dwayne Crudd. But there's more to it... I can't find anything redeeming about that franchise that I respect outside of AP. The substance abusing Williams wall of lard covered in legal teflon. Jared Allen, Brett Favre. Randy Moss (when he was there). Now that Favre is there I hope they win nothing. So sick of Favre and I never want to see him hoist another Lambardi ever again. GB I is more like a rival where there's a respect but when we are playing them I hate their guts and want to see them squashed when they aren't playing us I still enjoy watching them lose. Favre through the years made me hate them because they not only beat us but they would rub your faces in it. Packer fans for the most part are some of the most annoying obnoxious people I've ever had the displeasure of being around. Listening to the announcers last night was equally annoying. May as well end the season now and hand Minn the Lambardi. Their ready to crown them. If memory serves me correct, Favre started out hot last year in NY and by mid/late season he was a turnover machine. Enjoy the good Farve while he lasts Minny. Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

ugly game for the Packers. I honestly expected a more competitive game. Favre hasn't even had to break a sweat, no pressure at all from Green Bay's D-Line, on the other side Rodgers has been harassed regularly. Question: Are the Vikings that good or the Packers that bad? I hate the Vikings. NFC North Standings will be Queens 4-0 Bears 3-1 Packers 2-2 Lions 1-3 In one respect this isn't a bad outcome as it now puts GB in a bad spot and we are one game back of the Vikings the head to head matchups against could be the key games for winning the NFC north

One could argue that physics allowed the ball to land just inside the end zone slightly ahead of where he let it go. Knox was running pretty fast (though decelerating as he got to the end zone but still going fast) and some of that forward momentum could have carried the ball forward. But that's splitting hairs mere trifles. At the end of the day it doesn't matter as the TD stood and he's well aware that what he did wasn't acceptable and I'm sure we won't see him do that again. I agree with nfo it's a best case lesson and one of the rare times we get away with one. Even had it been reviewed the angle may have made it difficult to conclusively say it was a fumble. But no one batted an eye as it happened because that's the last thing anyone expected

Or be prepared to scroll quickly before anyone sees it lol

The offense came out swinging but had to as the defense was sleepwalking for much of the first half. I agree with the postgame comments. If you want to be considered a good defense or a great defense you cannot give up drives 70, 72, and 98 for TD's in the first half.... you can't do that. I probably have the numbers a little wrong I'm going from memory but it was two drives of 70+ and a drive of 98. When special teams (specifically Maynard) pins you down deep you can't keep letting them drive the length of the field. If the offense didn't answer those first half TD's we go into halftime down 21-0 or something like that. Which completely changes the dynamic and give Detroit a ton of confidence and puts us behind the 8 ball.

gotta love Cutlers moxie. I bet Jerry's heart skipped a beat though lol People that question his heart that was a gutsy play to expose his body like that.

It isn't the best angle but I do believe he does let it go before he actually reaches the end zone. Albeit it's a split second.

good point, in a game like this there was no point to rush players back.

Did anyone else have flashbacks of Jimmy Mac when Jay dove for the end zone from two yards out? We have a QB who is athletic and has a cannon, who can beat you multiple ways.

This is a good way to go into the bye week

Bears WIN!!! we actually almost scored 50 points in a single game. I'm glad to see we didn't let them back in the game and held them to 3 points in the second half while scoring 27 second half points. The nice touch was two rushing TD's in the second half. Now wee see if Denver can beat a good team

anything more specific than leg? But you are absolutely right the Bye week is coming at a good time. Get Forte healed up fully, get Hester healed get Knox healed get Pisa back.

TD Wolfe

they just said the Knox has a leg injury? What happened?

that's the second time we got screwed on a bogus crack back block

Bowman down again

That is amazing and hey if that gets him going and gets his confidence back then even better. Forte needed a few runs like that. And there's that Forte smile on the sidelines haven't seen that in a while

There you go Matt!!! That had to feel good

Between Knox, Hester, and Manning we have some big time speed and throw in Bennet we have plenty of options at return

Stafford hurt We may see Culpepper

nice sack by O-gun

should be named cover 0 as it seems to cover no one

We're letting them back in it
