Week 5 Bye week general football talk Thread

I'm just trying to pretend that game isn't happening.  It may be the best thing for your sanity to adopt that approach too.

Actually, the reality is not too bad....  Patriots winning, but Brady sacked 5 times.  I'll take that.  Rinse repeat 2nd half please.

Cowgirls can't score

Holy cow. Matt Stafford has been benched.

The Saints lost, but Brees got in his 300 yards passing and 2 TDs, so I bet in his head, he "won."

NFC East ain't sending 2 teams to the playoffs. Can never fuging root for the Patriots. Only time was against the Aints in 2013.

Didn't say it was likely, just possible, and therefore a reason. Hell, we should root for AFC vs. NFC in every matchup.

What?!

[MurkN]

What?!

He had 3 interceptions, 1 by a defensive lineman. Lions are getting their asses kicked so it's not that big of a surprise.

Matthew stafford benched. Wow...that may be it. Never good when you get benched well into your career.

I still find it surprising given how the Lions view Stafford.

Unheard of. Unless it's late in the game and there's no way of coming back.

You don't bench your franchise QB. This will not end well.

Lions are in a full rebuild and I'd wager they move on from Megatron soon. Not sure what he'd command on the open market, but I'd love for us to target him if it's reasonable. I'm not an advocate of trying to sign a big name free agent at all, but Megatron would fit this team's culture and Cam perfectly.

Caldwell was a bad hire from the get go.  I sympathy follow the Lions and Bengals from afar, and when Marvin Lewis is the better coach, well...

[Mr. Scot]

Even worse when you're benched in favor of Dan Orlovsky.
