What does the Church of the NFL mean?

Game 8 Lions vs. Chiefs

What a snoozer. Lions win 25 to 20, no one cares. Except for this punk 29 year old sitting behind me who got into our face for not cheering the team on. We said the game doesn't matter. He said it did. We said they weren't in the playoffs. He said that doesn't matter. We said, that's all that matters! He said why were you even here??? Listen pal, I've been to 48 games in a row, and 55 of 56 in the last 7 years so blow me!

Anyways, thank God for cell phones with Internet...so I can text, and get fantasy football scores. It makes the game much more bearable.

The Tailgate: Food was good per usual, but the weather conditions make it a bit uncomfortable. First rain...then gusty winds. Deep Frying the turkey became a chore. The wind blew the tarps off and the table over. It got to be too much so we took the tent down and just froze instead. I made the yams, and they were good. I am yam what I yam! White Castle stuffing I heard was good, but I'll never touch the stuff. I get sick just driving by the place. Some good dips, and the fries were very tasty. Cranberries, pumpkin and pecan pie touched it off for the season finally.

We didn't get to have our meeting as planned, because we were scrambling left and right...but some thoughts were presented. We'll have to meet again soon and begin discussions on the future. I am thinking no one feels exactly about things the way I do. Eric and Seb come close, but the others are much more optimistic. Again, 48 games in a row...that is alot of losing. I think it has effected my overall mental well being. How could it not? If anything it proves I'm probably stupid.

GAME 7 Lions vs. Cowboys

How bout dem Cowboys? Well the Lions offense played good for the first time in a loooong time. However it was not enough. Why? Because their special teams is horrendous, their kicker is a washed up has-been, their Tampa-2 defense gives up 8 yards on every screen play. It's that simple.

I'm tired of it. I am very tired of it. Sure the Cowboys are the better team. However this is the NFL, and if you play well you can win. The Lions did not play well on defense when they needed to and let game slip away. Not to let the offense off the hook totally, they could not convert a 4th and 1, and settled for a field goal. This to me was the turning point, more so than the has-been kicker missing a field goal.

They are now 6 and 7, and Jon Kitna's prediction of 10 wins is now officially history. My playoff beard continues to grow until they get officially eliminated.

The special teams gives up too many yards on kickoffs, they rarely have touchbacks, and they cannot tackle their own shadows. It was really sad. I would fire Stan Kwan on the spot if I owned the team. I need to own the team already!

The tailgate was wet, and cold. The first rain we have ever experienced in 7 years at Ford Field. We love Jeff's meat. It was very tasty and filling. Nice job on the slaw, and the rice whatever was pretty good too. No Pope or Ed on this tourney, but still a good time considering the conditions.















This is Jason growing his playoff beard. The beard will come off once the Lions win the playoffs.
