It's pretty annoying to see from a team that has to win out just to make the playoffs. They are 4-6, after every play one of them is dancing.

Any ways...Wade needs to just put Kareem on Calvin.

STafford got lucky on that last TD play, any decent CB at least knocks that down or better yet INTs it.

This team has turned schizophrenic the last few weeks. I have a bad feeling about this game. They better get their issues fixed regardless of the outcome.

For the third or fourth week.

O is uninspired, D just looks lost...

Strafford needs to be hit. That guy will give it up quicker than a ho in NAM MOVIE.

[Doppelganger]

Team looks mentally and physically gassed.

The front four not getting pressure is still the Achilles heel of this defense. Stafford is picking us apart when we send a blitz.

The side-line routes were for him to cover; and like others have said; he wasn't bad there.

I hope that's the reason because this is depressing

This. I guarantee you Lions fans aren't exactly super confident they will win this since they have trouble closing out games. Undisciplined bunch.

Ding, Ding -you win. I think this is it. At least they get a long break to figure it out before playing the Titans.

As long as Suh doesn't assassinate Schaub.

[Premier]

merci has to have a breakout game in the 2nd half.. outside of jj, pass rush is non existent. i would have rather lost barwin than reed..

[ATXtexanfan]

These guys are ruining my thanksgiving. Everyone in a bad mood

[ItsMyFault]

Defense is garbage.

Ball has done fine. He needs safety help, which he didn't get at all in the first half. Ball made a great play on that last TD, and if Manning would have given him help over the top then that play likely would have been broken up.

[Showtime100]

Wow. Boomer Esiason just made me proud talking about how dirty Suh is and how he (Boomer) would not shake his hand if he had played against him the way he plays. I feel so dirty liking what Boomer said.

[76Texan]

I predicted a shoot-out , blame it on me haha

[infantrycak]

Glad to see Kubiak chewing on the refs undoubtedly about Suh. That was a blatantly intentional kick and I bet it gets a fine but that is too late. That should have been 15 yards and a 1st down. So should the other Suh bend Schaub into a pretzel long after the ball is gone play. Those 1st downs and yards make a difference.
