And going with a damaged Matt Stafford over Daunte Culpepper who was hyped to play shows that their decision making is still poor as well.
I think we would have seen Culpepper & Calvin Johnson hook up big time today....

No way. Not only was Johnson not 100% as that was obvious, Culpepper against that defense wouldn't have done anymore if he played. In fact he played against the Packers earlier this year and loooked awful as the Lions got shut out and I don't think crossed the 50 yard line but a few times. Daunte was 6-14 that game for 48 yards and they didn't convert a thrid down that game. Believe me he is done and they know it, if they didn't he would have got some snaps.
I have watched every Lions snap since pre season (I know sickening) and there is a huge difference between Stafford and Culppper's play. The tight end for the Lions getting hurt early on today didn't help matters either for Stafford.
Bottom line Peyton Manning couln't have got a win for the Lions today. This is a team that won zero games last year. You don't fix that over night. They are still a long long ways from being even medicore as they are so thin on talent across the entire board. The Packers are just so much better everywhere. Pack could and should have scored 40+ points today.
It's not inconcievable to think that maybe 3 Lions starters could start for the Packers. That tells all the story anyone needs to know right there and the you throw in the fact an injured Calvin Johnson isn't the real Calvin Johnson. They talked about that same thing when the Lions played the Vikings earlier this year and most agreed the Lions might have just a couple of guys who could start for the Vikes and none on either of the lines. So sad a team could be that much worse then another in a salary cap sport.
Fuckin horrible football team...Detroit.
Im glad they are not on the Pats schedule. Pats played the Generals yesterday. And they will playing the Generals down in Dallas two weeks from now.
I hate saying this but its the truth. Watching the Pats for all these years. Its like watching the Globe trotters against the Generals every week.
