It was actually just a joke.

Come on, what room do I have to talk, being a Frisco fan?
I actually enjoy Stafford & the progress they've showed. It's not easy to transform an 0-16 team to an actual contender within 2-3 years.
Most teams take years to rebuild, especially after shit like an 0-16 season.
Detroit management has done a fine job.

... Just saying.



Lmao for real, I didn't even catch that. You can't count preseason dude ... you just can't.

[edit]
If I remember correctly Detroit was 4-0 (in preseason) the season they went 0-16.
Perfect example of how preseason can't be counted for squat.
But I do understand where Detroit fans are coming from.

I was jokin too...but when it comes to the Lions, even a pre-season win is exciting....it's not our fault people like Brady leave their goons at home when they come to Detroit in the pre-season...lol...he got his ass kicked that day...I used to be a Pats fan too...lol

I know pre-season doesn't count, just like an 0-16 season from the past doesn't matter
...just keep watching...we can't win them all...but the past is the past, diff. team now....just keep watching

Vikings I guess? Or B-more Ravens? I'm a huge Ravens fan... obviously disappointed with their poor showing against the shitty Titans, especially after they blew the friggin doors off the Steelers. It just doesn't make sense. I'm not even sure the players know exactly how to explain the loss... other than, they just werent prepared mentally/physically. Well... I will say, the Ravens secondary was TERRIBLE.

Vikings? I expected more from them. Well, their running game is very good with AP as always... but I expected alot more from McNabb. Unfortunately, much like his time in Philly and Washington, he just has NO reliable big play receivers to go to.

Let me correct myself... Shiancoe IS a nasty pass catching tight end, and Harvin is a HUGE play reciever. He's a game changer on special teams as well. But unfortunately, he's the only real play maker among the Vikings wide outs. Berrian is nowhere near what he used to be, and he just can't get open, like the rest of the Vikings receivers. Losing Sidney Rice was a huge loss as well. Plus Harvin is really undersized as a wide out... if he's matched up against a big cover corner who can jam him at the line of scrimmage, he's essentially out of the game. Not to mention, he's double covered alot of the time.

Bottom line is, Vikings need more play makers on offense (besides the obvious AP and Percy Harvin), and the O-line needs to do a better job protecting McNabb so he can actually get the ball off. Certainly McNabb could do a little better job too... but when your o-line is giving you less than 3 seconds to throw the ball... not many plays are gonna develop.

dude.....have you ever looked at harvin's stats? that dude is a fuckin freak of nature last time i checked when he was at UF he was 195 benchin over 400. now i know bench doesnt show a true showin of strength, but fuck if he's goin that heavy with that and his other lifts were heavy too..i would imagine he's just strong as fuck in general.

i dont even believe in god and i was prayin to him hard for him to come to new orleans at that draft lol
