I was hoping for Jerry Attaouchu in the second. Seeing as SJB has nothing to offer this year it looks like it would've been the right move.

What don't any of our linebackers remind you of Levontae David?

Because of Joe Vitt.

Yep, gotta' talk about something during the Bye week ... besides, I got a sinking feeling "Touchdown" Teddy Bridgewater just might gonna' be more than the Lions can handle this weekend & I'm trying to avoid the subject, :).

I like the 5000yd passer comparison ... even though MattFord has really only done it once, whereas Brees sets the standard. That one season I thought Staffy was gonna' win the crown, Brees beat him by something like 50yds, but both can certainly put on a show.

In other news, they resolved "laserpointer-gate" at Ford Field, so there'll be no shenanigans from the crowd ... unless that guy that called the bomb threat into the Superdome the last time has been paroled, :rolleyes: ... and people ask, "Slo, why don't you go to more games?", :lol:

Update: The Lions found out who the fan was from the incident and he will be banned from attending games, according to Mike Garafolo of Fox Sports.

The NFL is investigating an incident last Sunday at Detroit's Ford Field, when someone allegedly shined a laser pointer at Bills players during Buffalo's 17-14 win over the Detroit Lions ... read more:

Because he is a unique talent. So is Patrick Willis. Those kinds of players don't exist every draft.

So Tampa made him who he is? The crappy head coach and his crappy staff?
