Re: How about trading Joe Smith to Toronto for Michael Bishop?

No, it doesn't really make sense at all. As has been said already, JJ is as or more proven than Bishop at this point. Furthermore, if Logan gets hurt, who goes in at RB if you've traded away Smith? Why is it people seem to have a problem with depth at a position? Having Smith AND Logan is much bette...

Re: What A Game-Leos/Als Post Game Thoughts!

The replay I saw looked like he caught his one leg while he was following through. I thought that penalty was deserved. Wasn't it #8 ( Anderson ) who went for the block? Thought he had it for a minute, but he was a second late. The first penalty, where Duval hit the upright for a dead ball, well tha...

Re: Joe Smith better have a 500 Yard game Friday

So, since he came up a few short of 500 yards, I guess he should be gone now huh?

Great game by Joe tonight. He did it on the field, and in clutch situations too.
Hopefully we can all get past this issue now.

Re: No Public Mention Of Geroy's Catch...Disappointing

They did post an announcement on the big screen as soon as he made the catch, in conjunction with the PA announcement. Honestly, I'd rather they carry on with a drive and put it in the end zone for 6 rather than have a ceremony. If it disrupts an opposition drive, like with Pringle for example, fine...

Re: So how many times will Calvillo be sacked this time?

So Anthony "The Human Sack Machine" Calvillo will be in the house on Friday night. This is usually the game that Lions DB's use to pad their sack totals. Two years ago they were credited with 9 sacks although in effect it was closer to 12 - for whatever reason several sacks were not recor...

Re: Should the Hit on Clermont to the Head Get League Review?

I totally agree there should be a review.
The cumulative effects of concussions alone can be devastating, let alone other potential injuries from such a hit.

Players need to remember the helmet is protective gear, and not a weapon.

Glad to see Lion82 shake off the hit, and glad it wasn't worse.

Re: Where is the Tailgate now?

Well, we managed to find it, and no hassles, it was great!
Too bad the game wasn't as good as the tailgate .....

I'm just telling myself that we started 0-2 in '06 and won the GC.

Re: Where is the Tailgate now?

So, has anyone heard anything further about tailgating, found a new location, decided to fight the good fight or what? I'm ready for another season of football ( including tailgating ) and just want a place to make it happen. How about everyone else? Where's everyone planning on being tomorrow prior...

If Ritchie gets a Head Coaching spot, we'll need a new Def. Coord. If Ritchie doesn't get a HC spot, then perhaps he retires?

That game was like putting lipstick on a pig in a lot of ways....certainly NOT in the top 10 GC's of all time.

I've always been really impressed with Buono's decision making on who to bring in as QB and other positions (ala Wake) but he seems to fall before the big game, or at least his team. I'm going to take a lot of BS from people on this but think about this; but Wally was 3-3 in Grey Cup games as head ...
