the Lions aren't losing right now! We aren't losing at this very moment. A positive note. Stupid shii aside, Phil Simms just said a home game in Seattle "puts the college atmosphere to shame". No, no it doesn't. Maybe in the playoffs or really important game (I know they've registered an earthquake once) but that entire first half was pretty quiet. I'd venture to say that person for person, Autzen (not last night) is at least as wild. BTW, that's one NFL team even if true. There are average CFB teams that bring it harder than the NFL does on a weekly basis. VT can be 3-3 and a night game there is nuts. Go to a 3-3 Skins or Panthers game lol. Please. EXTRAS: We kind of forget that Rudock escaped a pretty rough hot to the knee unscathed yesterday and I hear Roethlisberger had a similar bad hit. Haven't seen it but heard it was bad. How about them 49ers, guys? Looking good. I'm glad they made a coaching change and I'm sure 49er fans are, too. Looking good.

have officially passed Johnson in the NFL WR rankings list. Johnson seems extremely wore down. He looks like one of those athletic, receiving TEs that are all the rage now. He's officially not "CMFJ" anymore, IMO. Tate is our best pure WR. I don't think it's a slow start but he seems sluggish. An entire career of double/triple teams could do that but it's finally here, IMO. Still a top WR but not what he was. I hope in wrong and he's just having a slow start or dinged up, etc. I know he's 30 and it's bound to happen but not so quickly. I chalked last year up to injury but I think he's healthy but still looks slow off the line and in/out of breaks.
