I like it, yet if he is bringing his own personal posse of Thomas Edison, George Washington Carver and Harvey Firestone to bear on the Lions, we are SCREWED. Unless we just need to er, remove WC Ford because that would be doable, and indeed, quite pleasant. I think the Fords must be at the root of it, though.<br /><br />I can't believe I'm admitting this (although the fact that I am a colossal dork is no secret, I'm sure) but pondering the curse, I actually typed in William Clay Ford into an anagram finder (because Satan loves the wordplay)...and 'ill coward family' amused me greatly although 'wormy dill facial' might be more on point. There might have been other clues to the curse contained within, but they mostly just sounded like welsh pornography. Between that and your observations on 'punter', a conspiracy theory is developing.<br /><br />So, yeah, I'm insane, if I haven't mentioned.CJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580115438716980446.post-39002228121180652202010-11-11T13:58:21.134-05:002010-11-11T13:58:21.134-05:00CJ, you bring up an interesting point about the em...CJ, you bring up an interesting point about the emergency QB being the emergency kicker/punter. It's actually been done before. I'm thinking Tom Tupa who punted for eleventy billion years. He was a college QB who teams knew could play the position in a pinch, so he would often be the team's third string QB and the punter. <br /><br />Also, it just struck me that the word "punter" sounds vaguely dirty, like some sort of British slang.<br /><br />Anyway, Bobby Layne would have loved Matthew Stafford because they had, uh, similar interests so you are likely depressingly right about there being a deeper, more terrible root cause for whatever the fuck is going on. Do we need to start looking at Henry Ford?Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16300561079216508635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580115438716980446.post-20430449966006238682010-11-11T13:50:58.134-05:002010-11-11T13:50:58.134-05:00"The Bills being 2.5 favourites and the retur..."The Bills being 2.5 favourites and the return of Hill have re-energised me.

It'...AAAAH...Matt Stafford is going to be FINE. It's all just bad luck! I know he'll be fine because...I really, really want him to be. Oh, God. Despair creeping in.<br /><br />Shaun Hill's back this week! Is Drew Stanton that stupid or is he actively trying to piss off Schwartz? First blabbing about Stafford's injury, and then talking about how he's excited to be starting, only to have Schwartz decree Hill 'healed' 10 minutes later?<br /><br />I love the idea of back-up kicker. I mean...so many clipboard holders/developmental QBs are random longshots that I think one that could sort of kick/sort of punt would be a significant asset. Plus, when they're not getting reps at QB in practice, they'd have plenty of time to practice kicking. Probably a stupid idea, but think about it...if Drew Stanton could kick extra points and short field goals, wouldn't we like him a lot better? Yeah, that probably wasn't a good example.<br /><br />Great post. The only thing I'm sad about is we didn't get to hear what you'd say to people who want JaMarcus Russell as QB (especially since from what I've seen, these are often the same people who think Matthew Stafford's shoulder problems are caused by lack of desire and preparation on his part, a moral failing? HAHAHAHA)<br /><br />Anyways, I think if Stafford's health problems are part of the Lions Curse, then the Curse of Bobby Layne is not the root cause and we'll have to dig deeper. Look at that pic on top of this post....NO WAY is Bobby Layne cursing that dude. Kitna, yes. Stafford, no. Anyways, even though it made me despair, the post also really made me laugh ands think about the undervalued and VERY IMPORTANT kicking game, so thanks.CJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580115438716980446.post-33199511417521628862010-11-11T02:17:56.073-05:002010-11-11T02:17:56.073-05:00The Bills being 2.5 favourites and the return of H...The Bills being 2.5 favourites and the return of Hill have re-energised me.

Woohoo!<br /><br />Now that narrows my list down to Peterson. That dude makes way to much money to pull some shit like he did on Sunday. I sure hope that Bobby Carpenter can step up so we can get rid of that douche. Or Landon Johnson, I really don't care, but at 7 mil a year, Julian just isn't getting it done and wasn't before that idiotic penalty.<br /><br />At least Hill is going to tough it out for us. I mean if I seriously have to watch a game that nutsack-tastic Stanton starts, I might literally go bat shit crazy.<br /><br />As for me, I'm moving on. I can't be bothered with what could have been. It's on to Buffalo, and it's time for me to get the burning fire of hatred going for a team that I could really give to shits about. Luckily the media are all writing us off and all but handing the game to Buffalo, so leave it to the media to get me all furious and ready for gameday.<br /><br />I hope everyone else can move on too. We still retain 95% of the talent on the team that we started the year with. We have won with Hill before, and we will win with him again.JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08963893472040994684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580115438716980446.post-39110428562166339672010-11-10T21:16:41.185-05:002010-11-10T21:16:41.185-05:00I personally believe that Willy Young could kick a...I personally believe that Willy Young could kick a 94 yard field goal.UpHerenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580115438716980446.post-22925813641946899382010-11-10T20:50:23.171-05:002010-11-10T20:50:23.171-05:00Despair Not!!
