No matter what he says he will turn it so he thinks he is never wrong. Typical troll.

Detroits bubble might burst some time, but Calvin is cool.

They have the most talented young QB in football. one of the best WRs to come into the NFL in decades. one of the most dominant DL to come into the NFL in yrs...

that's a SB nucleus. that team hasn't even scratched the surface of how good they can become...

They were 6-10 last year.

They beat Tampa Bay and a couple of crappy teams this year. They have at least 8 games on the schedule that should be rather tough for them. This is still the lions, you can't win a super bowl on hype. If they make the playoffs, it will not be as a division winner, which means they have to compete for a wild card, so other teams have to blow their chances. Super Bowl... whatever. it's the lions.

Best WR in football, best DT in football, one of the most talented QB's in football. If Stafford stays healthy they are an easy playoff team. And let's not forget what seed the Packers were when they won the SB last year.

He hasn't gotten hit much yet, and you don't know that. I'd put the Lions after the Packers and Saints in terms of best teams in the NFC. Manning is inconsistant, Dallas has no offense, psh to the Redskins, the Eagles have no O-line, the Bears have no O-Line, I think the Falcons regress quite a bit with a bad D, TB is pretty good but not nearly as talented as the Lions, and HAHA at everyone from the West division.

It was bound to eventually happen. Get enough high draft picks and you'll stockpile some good players that turn the team around.

Like I said if that O-Line which is rather suspect can keep Stafford healthy they are as talented as anyone. And nobody in the NFL can cover Megatron.

Detroit also had an awesome draft even though they've had tough luck. Both Fairley and LeShoure are going to be difference makers when they're healthy (Fairley is a stud and LeShoure is pretty much the perfect complimentary back to Best). I like their TE platoon, too.

they didnt turn it around till they changed the culture. They ousted Millen and brought in a new HC. that was when they really started to lay the foundation for what we're seeing now...Bengals could take some notes there (even though they wont)

Doubtful anyone on the Bengals "staff" can take shorthand.......

Is Fairley out for the year or will he play this year?

I've heard he's ready to go at anytime, but being 3-0, there really is no hurry.

I'd bring him back against Dallas this week if he is ready. Get as many viscious hits from him and Suh on Romo as possible.

They lost 2 close games to 2 good teams. I'm not ready to say their bubble has burst.

The lack of a running game is killing them. Teams don't respect it and just double Megatron and blitz the shit out of Stafford.

I don't care if they doubled him every play. i would lob it up every play. He will always come dow with 1/4 or get a PI.

That wouldn't work as a general rule because teams will just expect it in advance.
