...where we continue to honor the memory of Chris Henry.

Pace will be a backup for the remainder of the season, barring injury.

If Pace is cut after 2009 season, it wouldn't hurt team too bad financially.

Lovie Smith speaks about the death of Chris Henry.

CWilliams fined $7,500 for personal foul.

MVP also fined, but won't say how much.

Star-divide

List of folks who missed practice Thursday.  Tomorrow we'll know who can play Sunday.

#23 says media blew his comments out of proportion.  Crawfishing much?

Briggs: There's going to be a shake up.  A shake at the lake.

Coach Harbaugh: You see #23 in your sleep.

Jim Schwartz says large part of Lions roster made up of cast offs from other teams.

11.5 point underdogs

against the (7-6) Ravens – at HOME!

And it’s not as if we’re playing against an elite-level team like the Colts or the Saints! Now, that’s just bad.

well,

that’s on me. I thought I heard on the radio this morning that they were at home. My fault.

That’s not as bad, but still…

Nope, road.

I made the same mistake in my preview but fortunately got to it before anyone called me out. Some reason I think we’re all begging for it to be switched to Chicago… maybe it’s the INTs, who knows.

At least it's not a Sunday nighter.

And I actually looked that up to make sure! ;)

Well

The Bears didn’t play so hot in their last 3:15 game either, if my memory serves me correctly.

He probably should, but

If they don’t cut him, why not sit on the bench for $2 million/year, or whatever they’re paying him? Yet another boner contract by Angelo…

I'm very surprised

that Lovie made an uncharacteristic move by leaving Williams at LT. I figured his undying loyalty to his long-time players would continue to plague this team. At least he made one good move this year.

Is it time for something to happen in Detroit?

Like, move them out of Detroit? LA wants a team so badly—-restructure it so they go to LA, the Rams become part of the NFC North (makes more sense, otherwise, the Rams have 3 long distance trips every season. WTF?), and everyone’s happy.

Cutler is a crier? You’re kidding me, right? When he’s yelling at the officials, its usually because a pass interference call didn’t get made…something the head coach SHOULD be doing, but isn’t. Ultimately, Cutler is the only guy fighting for his teammates. And as someone who’s played on a team where the coach doesn’t fight for his players, I can tell you it’s even more demoralizing than losing.

We’re talking about a quarterback coming from a winning system who had a coach who at least showed he cared about his team during games. Having a guy who just stands at the sidelines with the same stone-faced look every second of the game and doesn’t get the least bit upset when penalties don’t get called doesn’t cut it, and if you were playing for him, your performance would fall off, too.

And remember, it’s not just Cutler falling off in performance: our running back and tight ends have also decreased their performances, and that’s not coincidence. So hold off judgement on Cutler until he gets an entirely new coaching staff behind him. If he still sucks with a hard-nosed head coach and a half-way decent offensive coordinator behind him, then we can all legitimately jump on the “Fire Cutler” bandwagon, but not with a coaching staff that sucks the life out of all of our offensive players.
