I realize that pessimism reigns, 10 years of futility and all that, but what exactly has Cleveland done to make you think they'll score a TD?

Great tweet by Talley DarrylTalley Darryl Talley Hillis needs a pouch sewn in his jersey 2 carry the ball in. Or a European shoulder bag.

Wow a fantasy league with defensive players in it? You do it big huh?

Could have been a first down though, Stevie was open for it.

We need 6 on this drive.

What's the over/under on Jake Delhomme's pass attempts?

Hillis already has 49 yards 5 minutes in...but couldn't get the 1 when it counted.

I wouldn't be all that concerned about what a mock draft in early December says. Most of the ones that come out a week before the draft aren't even right and that's after combine and scouting, etc.

It's also about competing in the elements. In that token I will take Fitz over the "Sanchise". It's also another reason that it's all about the lines.

This is by no means a professional opinion and just some musings from watching the games in my living room but it seems to me that Bell holds up much better versus the blitzing LB's in the 304. He played well vrs. the tough front 7's of Pittsburgh and Baltimore but struggled at times vrs. Cincy and was totally destroyed by Allen this week. I can't remember much about the Chicago game but I though I remembered him not playing as well as he did in the other games. He was splitting time early during our first go round with the East so I don't think we could gauge much from that but the last four games will test my theory.

No but he's a free agent and they just gave up big resources last offseason to get Tebow and Quinn.

And Tim Tebow or Brady Quinn as their starting QB?

In the looking for the silver lining department, yesterday's game proved one thing pretty convincingly... Troup>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>McCargo

Bell was horrid today but of course that was against Allen who was a beast. Hangartner showed his value today as the line fell apart when he went out. They need another tackle for sure.

Defensive line looks to be playing well thus far...

Not on Maybin, that was all Kelsay, if anything it looks like the tackle was grabbing Maybin's jersey and then tackled him to the ground.

BYRD!!!!!!! Way to make a play!!!! FINALLY!

Blitz pick up by the RBs has been UNBELIEVABLE today.

Well, that was exactly what we needed...

I like how Stevie put is head down instead of running out of bounds on that catch.

So can we go back to Harlan saying Demetrius Bell hasn't given up a sack all year? That is untrue right?

The worst one was when Kyle blew up the center and no one was behind him to clean up and Mendenhall just waltzed for like 6 yards.

I don't want to make this into another franchise QB/#1 pick thread but the Lions are a totally different team with Stafford at QB. The problem is the guy just can't stay on the field. If he can't stay consistently healthy than Detroit will continue to be at the bottom of the barrel.

Whitner, Poz, and Kelsay all look more comfortable in the new defense than they did in the first half of the season.

How many times is T.O. going to be allowed to tackle a DB?
