But it was darn close some years.

The only time we played Denver in 2012 we got destroyed. That table says we won which is incorrect.

Biggest thing in this BYE is that our guys can come out of this week stronger, healthier and with more film time on them...

Yep, thanks. That one should have been obvious, huh? I've corrected it on my site.

I was at that game. "Destroyed" is putting it mildly. It was a long walk back to the car.

Remember that game in 68? "They may have won the game......"

The Lions just beat Minnesota 14-7 in an ugly death-cage match fight, where the Vikes lost Dalvin Cook...

Looks like we're gonna need the BYE week to scout and take these Lions very seriously as a balanced threat...

We survived what I thought was murders row in the first four games. Our opponents are playing good football now and there are only a couple of games where we'll be the favorites. It's going to be tough staying above .500 but I believe that we've got the talent to win close games. We are obviously a better team with the direction from our new coaches. Glenn in his second year has been able to develop Crawley and a couple of other players.

Still, none of these games look like a gimme'.

Even our BYE is gonna be a touch, Hurricane Nate...

Well, maybe the team can shelter at Saints HQ and gets extra film study done...
