I just watched movie "The Hustler" where Fast Eddie got his thumbs broken for hustling in a pool hall.

Can our defesne survive for any great length of time with Clay out?

I used to think our offense could put up 35 points a game without question. We have now scored one TD in the last 5 quarters.

I guess our motto, as always, is next man up if he can't play.

You'd think I'd get used to injuries, especially with this team, but
Goddamn, I am so sick of this shit. If Clay is out for any extended period of time, we are screwed.

Hate even typing this but what is timeline on broken thumb if surgery required? I've seen some articles commenting he could miss a few weeks but I believe barnett/urlacher were placed on ir due to broken thumb

Barnett broke his hand...I think

Those injuries were wrist injuries. I know in Barnett's case they said he risked permanent injury to the wrist if he tried to play with the injury. Cullen Jenkins played a few years ago with a club on his left hand when he broke it.

[pittstang5]

Didn't Jenkins break his hand in the first series of a game and came back in the 2nd half with a club.

Matthews will want to play. Even if he has surgery, can't they club it anyway

[Harlan Huckleby]

Just brainstorming here...... couldn't they sever the hand, and fit the stub with a very effective padded club?

[Harlan Huckleby]

Well see in McGinn's ratings column, but I thought it was a pretty average blitz day.

Good news! I fast-forward through the Lions offensive plays. The Packers most often rushed 5 on passing downs. Second most often they rushed 4, but not much more than the times they rushed 6.

Maybe it didn't look like blitzes, because there was nothing dramatic off the corner, and the pressure on Stafford was not intense. But the Packers were throwing bodies up the middle all game.

Fuck Bob McGinn, you got Harlan Huckleby right here.

Calvin Johnson inactive.

Major suck job. What fun is it to beat a team without their superstar player?

This just sucks ass. Lions have another receiver out too. This makes a win less sweet, and a loss more sour. I don't like it.

Nobody felt sorry for us when we lost Clay and only had one RB with a sore foot against Cincy.

I felt sorry, a tear fell in my near beer.

When can we fire Slocum?

Wednesday.
