Lions stigma: suck down the stretch

[Quackerjacked]

* Mayhew's 29-51 record is the worst 5 year start for any NFL team since the Packers went 21-46-3 between 1975-1979.

I'm confused by the wording of this fact.

It's the record for the worst 5 year start for any HC (Schwartz) since Bart Starr's 1979 Packers. Mayhew's GM reign just so happens to coincide with the same 5 year stretch of losses.

Basically, I blame Mayhew as much as Schwartz (actually a lot more).

OK I got you. The start for a team confused me. I don't talent wise we should have made the playoffs 2 out of 3 years. Coaching was horrendous. I especially blame him after hearing from Stafford that he didn't see him much. I think he just gave the offense to Linny and just let it run. That would work if Linny was good, but he's not.

Ya I agree. Even worse our defense was never good once Goodell put the clamps on Suh.

It was good once? The defense has sucked long before Goodell.

I'm going to name my next colt 'Lions Stigma'. I hope he doesn't 'suck down the stretch'.

LIONS' STIGMA

2 Year Old Bay Colt

Like a carousel? Up, down, and around. Circular. Energy. All good things. In with the good, out with the bad.

Lions' Stigma has moved from the farm to the stable where he is training for his first race.

Next up, the Patriots.

We're going to get trucked this week. It's the 4 very winnable ones after that will be the key.

I was hoping for 2 out of 3 after the bye week. The 4 winnable games are almost must win now IMO. 11 wins should surely get them in. Not sure what 10 does for them?

Lions' Stigma is entered to run at 5 furlongs on the turf for a purse of $50,600 in his first race December 30. He's in a field of 12, drew the number 1 post position, and is 18-1.

Where at and will it be a simulcast for some OTB? Local casino needs more donations from me.

I hate to disappoint you Gandy, but this is a simulation. It's probably the best community on the net. No fighting.

In the sim, I'm the equivalent of a small time trainer butting heads with the big boys. No instant gratification to be had. Over 20,000 horses are bred every year. I run mostly claimers with a few allowance horses. I haven't had a stakes runner in years. Although, Lions' Stigma is out of my only stakes winning mare. His half sister (Rainincatsnbirds, a 3 year old filly) won a very tough allowance race in Kentucky on Christmas Day at 9.5 furlongs on turf. She also won her first race at 29-1 in New York at 5.5 furlongs on turf last year.

Lions' Stigma will be running in Texas. I expect him to prefer routes, but in his first race as a 2 year old, I'm not going to ask him to run a mile or more. As silly as it may seem, I have high hopes for this guy. Translation: I'm setting myself up for a huge disappointment. More than likely...he will 'suck down the stretch'.

 

[gandydancer]

When you said "sucks down the stretch" it was worthy of a real name. Almost makes me think of who's on first skit.

 

[Thruthefog]

Lions' Stigma finished 4th, two and a half lengths behind the winner. He showed good speed to go with the stamina he was bred for.

 

[gandydancer]

So I would have had to hit a superfecta with Stigma boxed in.

Prolly would have paid good in the real world at 18-1 being wheeled in.

I hate the Cowboys. Maybe Suh will step on Romos throat or something like that. If the Lions lose I hope they at least bust the Cowboys up some
