The last time the Lions were 7-2: 1993.

Don't blow it on Sunday, boys.

Yes, Sunday could be a "trap game", on paper the Lions should win easily, a slumping Cardinals team with Kurt Warner runnin the O. Hopefully Marinelli keep's the guys on track, and not looking ahead.

Valenti said it best yesterday, if the Lions can take care of their business this week, the rest of the season will really be a hell of a lot of fun...

can't believe i made a positive reference to Valenti...but there it is

Don't forget Boldin is back as well. They could light us up fast if we aren't careful. I'd like to see a heavy dose of Jones again to start out and set the tempo.

Are the Cards still considered a team with really good team speed?

I think we have this thing going, so I'm not too concerned with AZ. I'm more concerned with possibly packing it in early vs the Giants the following week if we get down early. Thinking we have only 3 days till we play GB.

I'm excited to see Steve Breaston...if Arizona is to score a TD, I hope its via the Breaston kick return...he already took one to the house Vs. Pittsburgh earlier in the year...

also theres an off chance we could see a Gabe Watson/Alan Branch combo on the DL', tell me Russ Grimm isn't going to have both of those guys in the Pro Bowl by 2010...

Isn't Levi Brown out for them still? I know their OL sucked last year. If our DL can play like last game Warner will get killed with his hurting arm.

Karlos Dansby missed their last game too, that'd be huge if he can't play, he's a beast...

The opening line on the Cards Lions was 0 and it moved to the Lions getting 1 1/2 pts. Someone is seeing something that I'm not. I thought we'd be favored.

This has the makings of a Cards upset. Sorry guys.

we got to bring heat vs their qb, cuz theyre wr's and rb should beable to work us.

Warner always plays well when he has time. He makes good decisions for the most part. If we can't get pressure on him we're screwed, but if we find a way to get some consistent pressure on him the game will be ours.

we got to bring heat vs their qb, cuz theyre wr's and rb should beable to work us.


Edgerrin James isn't that good, he's lost a step, the Cards O-Line is mediocre, our front seven should be able to keep Edge in tact...

keeping Boldin and Fitz in check will be the main thing

The question is, which one of them is Zach Miner going to cover?

Neither, Zach will have to cover Bryant Johnson.

Bryant Johnson is going NOWHERE! He's got NOTHING!

In Zach We Trust

7-2

I still think its mind-boggling we are an underdog to a 3-5 team...must be the road factor...it's not like the Lions have "been here before"...

So I guess it's not as mind-boggling as I had originally thought...


Still like the Lions to win the game though...

White is out. Thats sucks.

Cards 5-0 ats vs NFC North.

Time to go 5-1

KK with the pick. Cards were fine doing with their little dinking but as soon as they went long our opportunistic D took the ball.

1st paly after the to, they go for the endzone and just miss.

I can't get over this D we have. Wow. And I was about to get upset with all the time Warner was getting there...shut me up.

7-0 Lions.

This is a different team. We even got into a scuffle with the Cards b4 the game.

Turnovers lead to points....I love it

I felt that hit on the kickoff all they way here (and that's crossing a country and an ocean). That must have hurt.

Penalty on 3rd and 1? I remember when we did that every game.

Kitna should've tucked that one...obviously.

ahh crap! nobody picked up Adrian Wilson...hopefully we can hold them to 3

DAMN! Big early play here on 3rd.

RED DOG!

solid job by the d to hold them to 3...thats damage control at it's finest...

I agree. Especially on the goaline.

Why aren't they running the football???

Kitna is NOT afraid to hold onto that ball. Sometimes thats good and sometimes bad.

Why aren't they running the football???

I really think sometimes Martz out-thinks himself. He hates to do the obvious and I think that often the obvious is not always bad. We're not doing that well on the line, running would be great right now.

I don't mind Martz's pass first offense when were tied or ahead and its early.

I agree with you, but I also think running is huge to establish strength on the line. They have a very good D line and running keeps that in check.

I agree with you, but I also think running is huge to establish strength on the line. They have a very good D line and running keeps that in check.

Yes I agree, it can also open up the passing game...

I like it when Martz gets their D line thiniking rush the passer, rush the passer then runs a few lil trap runs. The d line is in the backfield and the rusher is by them.

NOT like that btw. A sweep or off tackle???? The Jones loss.

Sweeps and pitches are not a bad call with Jones. One of the things I really like about him is that he is good at letting blockers get ahead of him.

Well except on that one play...that just sucked.

KK is starting to hit again. BANG!

I know all about the big names but Corey Smith, Devries, Langston Moore and D White are soooo huge for our D Line.

Martz isn't pounding the rock, he's tiptoeing with it. If you are going to run it, smashmouth is the way I'd go.

MCDONALD WOULD'VE HAD THE FIRST DOWN, WHY THE F DID HE STOP RUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!

damn...this is one of the few times I wish Steve Breaston didn't have a "wall"

shit....

shit....

Congrats on your 700th post! :)

pshhhh...lets see how the team deals w/ adversity, we haven't been down since the Washington game...

on a good note, i haven't even noticed anquan boldin yet today...so theres a plus...

God!! We need to shift some momentum...we need a turnover bad...

Joe Barry kind of looks like Bear Grylls from Man Vs. Wild

Their O Line looks big. If the Cards get a pretty good lead, we'll be seeing lots of running plays.

I'm watching the Cards hold time after time with no calls. I hate this new rule.

we have 2 sacks...so we're capable of getting in the backfield, their defensive front is blowin our O-Line off the ball...Kitna can't get comfortable...plus all this little check-down garbage is pretty much unstoppable...

Seems like we've had the ball for 3 out of the 30 minutes in this game...

My toughts on this game:

My toughts on this game:



Thats about right...

We miss White a little bit on the D line...Devries dinged up.

Nice play you dumbasses <----Cards.

it's the STUPID CHECKDOWN...BE A MAN AND THROW DOWN FIELD!!!!

Most boring game ever. I don't even want to watch anymore.

17-7...crap

we suck.

17-7...It makes for a better comeback

This has the makings of a Cards upset. Sorry guys.

Cards can't upset, they were favored when the line closed. Come on TMM pull yourself together.

This does not have the makings of a Lions upset. Sorry guys.

ficksed

Brian Billick laffs @ 51 total yards.

How about giving the ball to Calvin Johnson? rather than looking for Sean McHugh...

Absurd.

Ugh, figures George Foster gets the offsides...what is that like 20 for him this year now?

How bout one of those big damn plays?

Scott is out today or he'd be playing.

hey mailman, congrats on your 3,000th by the way...didn't even take a year

Thanks.

This Calvin Johnson fella is pretty decent with the ball in his hands I heard.

Thanks.

Think you can hit 5K by Christmas?

Is that a challenge? If so I'll take you up on it.

I'm not good at math, but Christmas is about 44 days away and I average just about 18 posts per day. If someone can figure out how many I'd have on Christmas while on this pace I'd greatly appreciate it.

Let's see it happen...(comeback & 5K)

hey mailman, congrats on your 3,000th by the way...didn't even take a year



The Mailman I am both humbled and honored...

There goes that drive.

Ok, that play couldn't possibly have gone any worse.

Oh you crumblin stumbling mother fuckers

God, if we weren't already in negative rushing yards before that play, we are now.

I don't understand that SWA commercial...

although whoever plays Janice, I'd do her

Wow. Note to Rod Marinelli: No more reverses unless they are to Calvin

Karlos Dansby missed their last game too, that'd be huge if he can't play, he's a beast...

Cogent.

I feel like an ass for sitting Larry Fitzgerald today on my fantasy team in favor of Greg Jennings, Roy Williams, and Lee Evans...he's already out performed all 3

This is the worst officiated game I have ever seen - how can you not reverse that? Is Tim Donaghy refereeing this game?

Ok, fuck, sonofabitch and shit.

ITS ON CARDS! Do you know who you're messing with here?

If only they'd call that more when Kitna gets sacked.

Fucking George Foster. Can't believe we traded Miner for him.

a;lsdkjf;alsdkfja;lsdfkja;lsdfkja;ldksfja;lkjfdas; lsfdkja;lkdfjsa;lkfdjal;kjdsf

crumblin fumblin fooz

I knew sooner or later...

Game on bitches

That's up to the defense.

Breaston is a bootlick

the Giants are going to smoke them next week.

Fuck Breaston. Why didn't he do that at Michigan last year?

One of the few Wolverines I never really liked.

Hard to disagree there. But hey, just don't line him up at WR, and he'll have an ok little career methinks.

the Giants are going to smoke them next week.

Its at our house, but we have the Pack coming in on thursday so if the Giants get ahead, I could see it getting ugly.

but I think we have a chance against any team at our house short of the Colts or Pats..."If our Defense shows up"

Are you kidding me? The Lions get a turnover then give it right back. Some things never change.

Can we start the fire Millen chants again?

I'm pretty sure the lions 6-2 and playing at arizona when the infamous Bobby Ross takes the wind OT game occurred.

?

They said they weren't but I think the Lions started believing their hype. Turnovers, getting killed on the line...no running game whatsoever. This team does NOT have the talent to not play almost perfectly to win.

Watch us now. Now they've really pissed us off.

lol, love the avatar.

If, and thats a big if, we lose today, i'm rollin with a trap game rationale.

TMM did you ever post on Piston site?

nope, why?

thought you did

Nice throw. Looks like another road blowout loss.

Well the Pistons play in a couple of hours. I'd like to salvage a win here this weekend.

Ooof, this one's now just ugly. The Lions are NOT contenders unless they can prove they can play well on the road (and getting their asses whipped 3 of 4 times on the road tells me they can't).

Yeah, but I picked the Sonics to win ("trap game"?).

Ooof, this one's now just ugly. The Lions are NOT contenders unless they can prove they can play well on the road (and getting their asses whipped 3 of 4 times on the road tells me they can't).

56-21
34-3
31-14 and still not over


What makes you think that?

GAME ON!

They must be SO pissed right now, right Tahoe?

I'm tellin ya, I'm ready to call this one over.

NOW THEY'RE FUCKING FURIOUS!!!!!!

I mean pissed off. Like you ain't never seen em. Watch out now.

See, we just held them to a 2 yard gainer.

GAME ON!

That was out of fear.

?

I guess I was mixed up. I looked it up and that was the game when bobby ross went for the 2-point conversion when the lions were down 23-19 (xp would have made it 23-20). They missed the 2-pt. and the game ended with the lions at the cardinal 20 yard line (where a FG would have tied it if ross had kicked the xp). I suppose no one else remembers that game. I think the lions beat the rams the week before (who went on to win the Super Bowl that year). It looks like the lions ended up 8-8 that year but made the playoffs.

Oh you know it was

We called a TO to give them a chance to regroup

And Marty was our coach when he took the wind.

LOL, that's fucking hilarious.

Morningweg took the wind.

WHY DO YOU CHOOSE TO NOT KICK THE FG??

And now we run it up the fucking middle twice in a row????

I try not to feel Martz is overrated but days like today make it really, really hard.

This should really fire the Lions up now.

6-10 sounds about right.

And Marty was our coach when he took the wind.


Morningweg took the wind.

Wait... who took the wind?

Guys Guys GUYS! The fix was clearly in on this game from Goodell on down. Otherwise...it would have been ugly for the Cards

Sooner or later the Lions WILL kick Arizona's butt...

Wait... who took the wind?

Oops! Did'nt see that.

My favorite was still Daryl Rogers with the fake punt from our endzone. Holy shit those were some tough days to be a Lions fan. Wait...Its been better lately?

I had totally forgotten about that one!! Yeah, that one was classic. Lions history is just filled with those great moments.

Put Stanton in.

OH WAIT! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...ha...ha

Tahoe... The correct answer is Zach Minor took the wind.

Gosh, it sure would suck if they end up winning 9 games after this...

I had totally forgotten about that one!! Yeah, that one was classic. Lions history is just filled with those great moments.

And I know by great you mean not-so-great.

Tahoe... The correct answer is Zach Minor took the wind.

Thats right he coached too

And I know by great you mean not-so-great.

No, I mean great. Great moments in stupidity, great moments in comedy, great moments in futility...

lol, the Cards took a knee. Pussies.

It as all planned out before the game

Man, the Cards gave us plenty of chances to comeback, but then we gave them chances to keep it...and they did

Put Stanton in.

OH WAIT! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...ha...ha


Stanton would be garbage anyway...I bet he never takes a snap as a Lion...maybe ever

Trap game.

Wait... who took the wind?

The lions coaches have made me senile. I can no longer differentiate one crappy coach from another.

Remember when Sylvester Croom was our Defensive Coordinator?

Per Wikipedia, Bill Belichick was once on the Lions coaching staff, but I was a sperm cell then.

Anyone want to do that thing that Conan does where he combines the faces together? That would be perfect for this situation.

The Lions/Broncos game was approximately 14 posts more exciting than the Lions/Cardinals game.

I could agree with that...

Wait... who took the wind?

I thought it was Zach Miner?

Trap game.


way to call that one tmn...

Tahoe... The correct answer is Zach Minor took the wind.
No no no. Miner is better than that. He would never take the wind. It was the guy we traded him for that took the wind.
