IDK why anyone would want that guy in the first place. Didn't he fail a physical last season too?

 

[Apocalypse]

GODDAMMIT.

 

[Aso]

He was injured wasn't he? Why is that Harrisons fault? Unless he was doing some stupid Brandon Marshall shit thats all on the Lions.

Well...turns out the shit talking about Jerome Harrison can stop because Adam Schefter is reporting they found a brain tumor. Turns out this whole ordeal could have saved his life so I can't really bitch about that. My regards go to Harrison and his family though.

As Philadelphia Eagles doctors were giving newly acquired running back Jerome Harrison his physical, they discovered a brain tumor that nullified a trade with the Detroit Lions, according to two league sources.

The trade might have actually saved Harrison's life, the sources said. Without the deal being made, Harrison would not have undergone a physical. The tumor is now being treated, according to sources.

Harrison could not be reached for comment.

The Eagles would have sent running back Ronnie Brown to the Lions in exchange for Harrison and an undisclosed pick in the 2013 NFL draft. Brown arrived in Detroit but never got to practice Wednesday.

Harrison is not expected to play again this season, but his long-term prognosis both for life and his football career appear to be good, sources said. He is visiting with more doctors Thursday.

The voided trade has left the Lions with major issues at running back, after Jahvid Best suffered the third concussion of his career in last week's loss to San Francisco.

We so fuckkkked at RB. Glad he has a good chance of being okay. But I'm still upset that Ronnie Brown isn't on the Lions so I have to have someone to blame.

Well it's not like it's the first time Mo is starting for the Lions. Granted he's not the greatest HB, but he's a capable one and he definitely knows the offense. I'm pretty sure him and Keiland Williams will be sharing the load (Keiland especially in goal line situations). If Jahvid's health is still questionable come next weekend I fully expect Detroit to sign an established HB....who knows, we may give Tiki Barber a call...bahahaha.

:ice:


My worst fear...

lol that's why I added the laugh at the end. Also reading on mLive that Stefan Logan could receive more carries so I'm interested to see how that works. I know he usually gets a carry or two per game, but when he comes in an lines up at HB you know he's getting the ball. Maybe now when he's in it won't be an assumed automatic run.

0-2 at home last two games and Stafford is hurt??

 

[Buzzman]

Stafford didnt look too bad, but after Matt Ryan returned from the ankle injury, Stafford better not miss anytime.

When we are struggling like this, the Denver Broncos sure look like a good cure.

 

[mgoblue2290]

Stafford looked bad. After those first 2 sacks early on, he was very rattled. He left the pocket early a few times, and made some bad throws/decisions.

Isn't that what Lions qb's are supposed to do? The Lions oline is and will always suck a giant dick. Also, why they didn't snap it immediately after that tipped ball/pass interference call is beyond me.

It looked to me like the refs weren't letting them snap it.

It looked to me like the refs weren't letting them snap it.

They stood around for a good 30 seconds. Maybe that was the case, but it seemed like they were just standing around calling a play.

I was at the game so maybe it was the camera angle, but I'm 90% sure the ref stood over the ball and wasn't allowing us to line up. They were basically waiting for the call to review.

Glad they got it right.

Yeah it was the right call no doubt. I hate being given breaks on blown calls.

Detroit starting to play like Detroit?

Messed up I must say if it's indeed true:

Source: Yahoo Sports

We know that Detroit Lions super-tackle Ndamukong Suh(notes) doesn't have a lot of respect for quarterbacks — he's exhibited this through his NFL career with roughing the passer penalties that have been legit at times, and he's displayed a certain proclivity for twisting the heads of certain Ohio-based quarterbacks (specifically, Cleveland's Jake Delhomme(notes) in 2010 and Cincinnati's Andy Dalton(notes) in 2011) as if they were bottle tops. But according to several members of the Atlanta Falcons' offense, Suh took things way too far after Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan(notes) was injured on a freak play in the third quarter of the Falcons' 23-16 win at Detroit's Ford Field.

The play, which had Ryan in obvious pain after his right ankle bent in a bad way after he tripped over tackle Will Svitek(notes). Ryan came off the field and returned to action shortly thereafter, but per Jeff Schultz of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Suh and at least one teammate went over the line verbally.

"I had respect for Suh before the game," Falcons center Todd McClure(notes) said after the game. "But when Matt was on the ground, the things he was saying and the trash he was talking was definitely uncalled for. There are certain things you don't do. [He said], 'Get the cart' and several other things that I can't repeat."

Receiver Roddy White(notes) agreed. "I lost a whole lot of respect for 90 [Suh] today, and also 92 [Cliff Avril(notes)], the [bleep] they were doing when Matt got hurt. That was unacceptable. … Like 92 was kicking [Ryan's] feet, saying, 'Get him off the field.' We don't do stuff like that. We don't rally over guys when they get hurt. It was just inappropriate behavior. I mean, 'Get the cart'? Are you serious? Come on. When you compete, you never want to see a guy get hurt."

Suh had no specific comment about his alleged comments, saying only that he was disappointed in the Lions' second straight loss, and remarking that his run defense isn't what it should be. Ryan just said that he didn't hear whatever Suh and Avril were saying, which makes sense — you tend to not hear a lot when you're in that much pain.

Avril had this to say via his Twitter account:

Come on I'm not in the business of hurting not one guy on the field... I would never taunt anyone on an injury...But if we want to talk about dirty players look at the film and see who prides themselves on being dirty...

So, that really didn't help.

While the Lions allegedly showed less than ideal class, Ryan proved his toughness. "Well, when I first came to the sideline, I didn't know, because I wanted to make sure the trainers had a chance to look at it—want to be smart in those situations," Ryan said of the injury. "Once I came back in and was able to get it taped and move around on it, I knew I was going to be fine. So, I came back out and told [head coach] Mike [Smith] I was going to be good to go, then came in on third down."

Smith put it more succinctly: His quarterback showed why the Falcons are comfortable putting the franchise in Ryan's hands. "It just shows you the resolve and the resiliency of this guy. He got whacked pretty good; we had to take him into the locker room and really get a good examination. When I saw him coming out of the tunnel, I was trying like crazy to see if we could get him back out there for that third down. Can you go?

"And Matt said, 'Hey, I need to just see if I can put some pressure on it.' He just took a shot and said, 'Hey, I'm ready to go.' He goes out there, and his first play back, he completes a third-down conversion."

Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford, who has faced a number of injury concerns in his short career, also was hurt in the game. "A guy just fell on me a little bit awkward. I'm moving around on it okay right now. We'll see," Stafford said of his leg injury. But Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reported on Sunday afternoon that Stafford was wearing a walking boot and will have an MRI on Monday.
