    This a random reflection here but here goes:

    I was the leader of the "fuck us for hiring Jim Caldwell" bandwagon. I was incredulous he was interviewed even if it was a requirement for the Rooney Rule only. The fact he got the job made me apoplectic.

    I still think he is a shit game manager and I think it's fair to demand he not be brought back if we don't win a playoff game this season.

    With all that said, the guy is the best Lions coach in my lifetime. And more importantly, he did succeed in the primary reason he was hired, which is to turn Matt Stafford into a borderline elite QB.

    So while I will continue to bitch about him, I figure I should give him some props.

    Martin probably hurt himself playing hoops or something like that.

    Beat writers think Redfern has a cool story so they pumped him up to the masses.

    Redfern has been one of those punters who just sits on a roster waiting to be cut at the end of camp for 3 years. This year he got to be in the league and get a paycheck. I'm assuming that's what Birkett is referring to in terms of people cheering for him. I think the "everyone" part was likely overstating it.

    Not sure whether to hang this on my fridge like a proud parent or frame it and put it in the study.

    Caldwell wouldn't comment today on a rumor that Martin hurt himself wakeboarding, so there you go.

    Sometimes this shit is retarded. Are you not supposed to wakeboard if you're a professional athlete?

    I get running the ball is a necessary evil, but can we just stop running it on second and long?

    Wagner was great last week but has been terrible tonight. Robinson is getting the pub because of the penalties, but Wagner is getting abused by JPP.

    They're both getting abused or taking stupid penalties, there doesn't seem to be any in between.

    I'm assuming these outside runs are because they don't think they can block Harrison in the middle, but it's not working. The one run Abdullah broke was because he made a DB miss at the LOS as he turned the corner.

    Trying to stay positive, but our offense is still way too streaky because we can't run it. We go quarters at a time where just getting a 1st down is painful.
