    Yes but he should have held it

    JPP is fine. Some good news.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,317 ✭✭✭HigginsJ


    Our 2 biggest plays so far are pass interference & roughing the kicker.

    Hope Weatherford is ok, life would not be complete without him!!

    But our best player just took a nasty hit to the leg.

    We bloody need him. All we do is punt.

    Rivers is great but 2 SB's you would do that trade every day of the week, it's a no brainer

    Put Rivers on that team with that defence/running game though, and give them their 2005 end, 2006 1st and 2006 5th round picks back. A bunch of whatifs of course but think he could have well won 2 rings as well.

    Like I said though, I am a huge Rivers fan.

    Hoping we take Jernigan inside, and put Washington on for a few snaps later.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,317 ✭✭✭HigginsJ


    That's pass interference ok


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,317 ✭✭✭HigginsJ


    He had it

    I predict a field goal.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,317 ✭✭✭HigginsJ


    Go for it


  • Registered Users Posts: 22,477 ✭✭✭✭Knex*


    Should have been Williams/Hillis anyway, from that scenario.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,317 ✭✭✭HigginsJ


    Get in baby!!!!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,364 ✭✭✭✭Kylo Ren


    Praise Eli.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,495 ✭✭✭✭Billy86


    That drive is why as a Packers fan I don't fear the Lions taking the division unless we utterly implode.

    That set of downs on the one from the Giants was just stunningly poor play calling, though. They got the TV, but 4th and goal on the one, and you use the shotgun? Never liked that myself, at all.


  • Registered Users Posts: 22,477 ✭✭✭✭Knex*


    Philip Rivers who?

    :pac:

    Not all doom and gloom for Big Blue now?

    Big Hank starting well in the middle of the D


  • Registered Users Posts: 22,477 ✭✭✭✭Knex*


    Hankins is as advertised against the run.

    An absolute monster.

    Hey if you can't poke fun at yourself when you suck that bad when can you? :)

    On a serious note though, as a Pats fan with an intense dislike for the Giants and Manning in particular I would love nothing more then a huge blow out here in favor of Detroit.

    It would almost, almost make me forget about how bad we sucked last night!

    Brady with the lowest completion rate of all QB's this week as well, at 51, I think. Who'd have predicted that one?

    Not even Manning should get lower than that.

    Edit: In saying that, he is currently 5/11 :pac:

    Would ye really be that surprised to see the Giants roll through here with a victory though?

    What did we ever do to the Pats........

    Oh yea



    And this as well I guess

    Nah. Lions lost 7 in a row last year, didn't they? All in 4th quarter as well.

    Our D isn't as bad as it showed in 4th quarter, either.

    I just don't think we have the firepower on offense to do it, though.

    Yea I would tbh, our o-line is struggling badly and they still have Megatron


  • Registered Users Posts: 22,477 ✭✭✭✭Knex*


    4 man rush, and we fall apart...
