What I'm watching: A blowout, as ESPN is reporting both Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson are OUT against the Pack.
I was out of the house from 11AM till 1AM Saturday (But it's not what you think! I was with the GF in Northern MI being a dutiful significant other!), so I was on a media and internet blackout. So I had no idea what to expect when I logged on and tuned in this morning. The news about the Lions' gold dust twins being ruled out for the game is NOT what I wanted to hear.
Seriously, does anyone believe the Lions have a chance without two of their best young players? The Lions are not getting any breaks from the injury fairy.
I have no confidence in Daunte Culpepper or the Lions' defensive front four do accomplish what needs to be done. It adds up to another long, sad afternoon for Lions fans.
Prediction: I'm pulling my hair out and dropping F-bombs by the dozen by the 3rd quarter in my running dairy/live blog.
