Joey Harrington, with the flu and hobbled receivers, put in the game of his life. 362 yards passing, a few more running, 2 TDs and (unfortunately) 2 INTs.
He marched the team downfield to score with 8 seconds left, making the score 28-27 Minnesota. All we need to do is kick the extra point to get to OT.
The snap is back… wait, it skipped and the punter didn’t get it down! Vikings tackle Nick Harris for a loss!
Onside kick is recovered by Randy Moss, and Minnesota wins.
I’m in shock. I can’t even describe it right now. How can a team that isn’t the Saints find this many ways to lose? It’s not right.
It’s important that Harrington played well. Many of the idiots here in Detroit have been calling for him to get benched in favor of Mike McSacked, err, McMahon.
So, Harrington playing well gets him another start. A win would have been better, and would have made the whole effort much more appreciated.
In my other Pit thread calling out Viking fans, I posted about this. Threatening a new rant. Glad to see someone else stepped up.
WHAT THE FUCK!!!
You are the Motor City Kitties. You had a chance, after blowing a 3 point lead in Minneapolis, to redeem yourselves. You had the opportunity to show you could maybe, maybe, make a game of a division showdown.
You sucked ass in a 28 point loss to the Pack, and guaranteed a loss to a muffed place hold. A loss is a loss is a loss. Green Bay kicking your ass by 28 points counts the same as the Vikes beating you by 1. Either way, you suck.
Jesus, I’m actually glad the stinking Bears are in my beloved division just to give it a little spice.
Yeah, Lions fans, a Packer fan just praised the Bears. That’s how much you fucking suck.
You mean the same lowly Bears that beat the Packers, at Lambeau field? The same Bears that might be able to knock the Packers out of the playoffs in a couple of weeks? Those Bears?
You have been given the opportunity to make a sacrifice, to add your small measure of support to the Dream. We have suffered enough, we have politely waited our turn, as is our nature. Be grateful.
I see the Packers, with 8 whole wins, already have clinched a playoff spot. Such is the NFC. You can get in with 8 wins, and one might sneak in with a losing record. Meanwhile, the league is talking about expanding the playoffs WHY?
Yeah, you saw it too late. During the first quarter it was announced the Pack are in the palyoffs.
I’m still calling for an NFC North title in Green Bay. Weak NFC? Maybe. Keep in mind the Eagles won by only 7 points last week against the Foreskins, and beat the frigging Cowboys today 12-7. Hardly dominating. Yeah, the Feagles crushed my Pack recently, but so did the 4-9 Titans. Shit happens, that’s why the games are played. Your season only counts if the last weeks score is your final season score.
We lost to the Bears. We lost to the Giants. I’ve taken my lumps on those two games already. Bring something new. How are those two teams doing?
I call guarantee on a Packer win at the “Sorry excuse for Soldier Field” in 2 weeks. Anyone want to take me up on that? The stakes are next year’s subscription to the SDMB. First to take me up on this gets to pay my fee. I will win. (If God really does hate me, I’ll have to pay your fee.) First response on this bet gets priority.
Can a mod or admin oversee this? I have a feeling they’ll be pissed to be dragged into this.
I was on the phone to a good friend of mine who’s a native of Detroit when they showed this on television. My heart went out to him. So close, and yet so far!
Assuming you’re not a member of the Packer Nation, can you tell us all what team you follow so we know which team swallows? You frigging cremontide. (Go ahead, ask me what it means)
Then we wouldn’t have to rely so much on the Lions.
