Diary of a Madman---a collection of KANSAS' rants

winning is not important to Farve.

Farve is important to Farve.

He'd rather lose a game his way than win someone elses.

Teams are 171-100 with him at QB, that's whole lot of fucking winning his way. Yeah you wouldn't any of that. I guess you don't, you have the team you want but at least they are setting records

Game 2 - Vikes vs. Lions
Postmortem - You guys are mean

First off, all you Stafford haters need to get off his back. Being ranked dead last in QB rating is as meaningful as being ranked dead last in your med school class. It doesn't stop you from opening your own practice, suckering in unsuspecting patients, and making millions over the span of your career. That ranking means nothing. The only time it matters is when a guy comes in complaining of insomnia and he leaves dead. OK?

Besides, is it really Matthew's fault that the receiver he chooses to throw the ball to is either too fast, too slow, too tall, or too short to catch his laser-accurate passes? I think not. A young quarterback needs some consistency in his receivers. Consistency, people! Sheesh, it's just plain common sense so cut the kid some slack.

Plus, it doesn't help Matthew's confidence at all when Linehan calls those stupid pass plays where a guy from the other team's defense is standing right in the way of a beautiful Stafford spiral. That's just horrible play calling right there. Come on, Scott. You're better than that. You better shape up or you'll find yourself out of a job faster than Matt Millen. And that's a threat, pal, not a promise. That's how Mr. Ford rolls.

Also, I don't really understand all the Backus hate in here. The offensive line, as a unit, played extremely well over the majority of the game. Kevin Smith got some good yards and the pass protection was pretty decent. And Backus is part of that unit that played so well, so lighten up on him.

Sure, there were a couple of slip-ups. Like the time Backus didn't block anybody and Stafford got obliterated, and then Backus just stared at the ball as it rolled around by his feet. Everybody has been giving Jeff a bunch of crap about that and I think those people are being way to quick to criticize him for it.

It was quite apparent to me that the reason Jeff didn't notice the ball was the poor guy was in shock because he thought he had just witnessed the violent death of Matthew the Savior. Think about it. If you were staring up at Jesus as he was being crucified, and then Jesus dropped a football at your feet, do you seriously expect me to believe that you would jump on it? I didn't think so.

The rest of your post actually sounds like what some folks around here would say. lol

In case you missed the end of the Vikes game, That's why the NFL kisses his ass, that pass alone will put assess in fron tof TV's and $ in the NFLs pocket. BTW, that was his 46th 4th quater come from behind victory in his career, has Detroit even won 46 games since he's been inthe NFL?

[Newbomb Turk]

yes, I believe they have.......

and I still say that I am right, The Minnesota Farves would have been just as happy to throw for 350 yards and 3 INTS......

[Newbomb Turk]

Face it, farve's biggest problem this week is that he cannot suit up at QB for both teams and play to a 49-49 tie

[Kansas]

Well, the streak is over. That sucks. The Lions just can't seeem to do anything right. Sure, the 0-16 season was nice, but dammit I wanted it all. I don't know what got into them on Sunday. It's not very Lions-like for them to settle for a second place tie in any "NFL's Worst <fill in the blank here>" category. They're first in every one of them except one, and boy am I pissed that I wasted a season and a half of my life only to see the dreams of another ignominious record shattered a mere 8 games away from the Holy Grail of Suck.

I mean, the only thing the Lions are good at is losing, and like my wise ol' Granpappy used to tell me, "When you find something you're good at you should.....who the hell are you?"

Now they're just another lousy team instead of the lousiest. There's no infamy in that. There's no......no......ingloriousness. Damn, man. They can't even be the very best at what they do the best. So now I have friends, relatives and co-workers congratulating me for their victory, and all I can do is wear the shame of this win like a big scarlet "W" tattooed on my forehead. Fuck me.

Actually, I place the blame of this humiliation squarely on the shoulders of the Redskins. I mean, come on, 'Skins. You actually couldn't punch it in on 4th and goal from the average-sized-dick line? Shit, the Lions haven't stopped one of those since color TV. Then you let the Lions - the LIONS - drive 99 yards on you for a touchdown?!? They haven't done that since the Big F***ing Bang! And to top it all off, you call a Boise State hook-and-ladder miracle play with 4 seconds left from the Lions 33 yard line? Hello? McFly? It's the freaking Lions, fer crissakes. You throw the ball into the endzone, they let you catch it, game over, streak continues. Sheezus. Morons.

What made the whole thing even worse was watching Peterman walking off the field crying. Come on, Stephen. There's no crying in football. THERE'S NO CRYING IN........what? It's baseball? There's no crying in baseball? Oh. Never mind.

Oh well. Another streak starts next week and the march to the pinnacle of suckiness begins anew. Stafford's going to be a bust. Right? Man, that would be sweet.

It's like when the BoSox won the WS. Fans were so used to losing they didnt know how to react to a win.
