And he sings a pretty good Soprano in the squad choir now too......Didn't EDS torment Suhhie so much that Suh stomped on him? EDS may not be much of an athlete but he does anchor well.

If I remember correctly, Suh claimed that the Packers linemen were repeatedly trying to untie his shoe laces. I don't remember if that was ever disproven, but I know that no Packers were fined for any such behavior leading up to the Suh Stompok cool.....enough to frustrate him and for him to use his short fuse and stomp some balls.
Let's see....Barry Sanders was the greatest highlight reel runner to play the game but not someone I'd want on my Offense.
Cuz 22 years is one year closer to the year that they actually beat us again at Lambeau. I can only hope that the streak lasts for the rest of my life time but I've been a fan long enough to know better!Why didn't they frown on it last year? How is 22 years different than 21 years?

Nice post guapo.
Sanders also had the most carries for negative yards b/c the o-line was bad. There would be times when Sanders had to spin as soon as he got the handoff b/c there would be a defender in the backfield.
I am excited for Lacy's return. I feel like he can really help this offense. And its so great to have Morgan Burnett back. Now we just need Heyward.
When looking at Sanders I don't care who was on the oline, just look at who else was on offense that defenses had to account for. The Detroit Lions offense was a wasteland outside of Sanders, with the sole exception of Herman Moore who was only really an impact WR from 1994 - 1997. Of course Sanders had a lot of negative runs, he routinely (and by routinely I mean always) faced defenses that were solely geared towards stopping him. You think defenses cared if Rodney Peete, Scott Mitchell or Charlie Batch wanted to throw the ball? Any team at any time would happily take Sanders (exceptions might be Payton, Brown, AD).
An interesting way of looking at how Sanders performed was done by Football Outsiders (in an Emmitt Smith article). The author looked at the yards per carry gained by the top 20 retired running backs by yardage and compared that to the yards per carry achieved by other players on their teams (e.g., what was Sanders' YPC compared to other Lions running backs when he was there). Sanders was #1 as far as difference between him and the other guys on his team. Not a perfect measure by any means, but it does help illustrate how much more Sanders could do with the same players than his backups. Link to full article is below

I have some baaaaad feeling about this game... This is a MUST win for us and it will be a very close game
All I hear are weak excuses. Sanders is one of the best three running backs of all time, there's no real argument there. What sane team would tell a historically great player that they think they're better without him?funny stuff!

You also missed part of the point of that article. The twenty best running backs by yardage were pretty much used the same way as Sanders (eg, you didn't see Sayers diving into the pile on 3rd-and-1) and Sanders was better than them all.

Clay was at practiceIt's not a must win just yet, but not having Matthews makes me pretty concerned. Maybe Neal and Perry will finally "get it."
Matthews missed 4 games last year from his hamstring.
Unless he was able to sneak the magic juice past the testing procedures like the Seahawks do so well, I can't believe we'll see Clay back out there until the Baltimore or Cleveland game at the soonest.
Hope I'm wrong, but these things linger.... look at Casey Hayward.
Where's he been all fricking season?
We are pleased to update you that Matthews was in fact practicing (albeit on a limited basis) today:
Just going on the past when guys have practiced on a limited basis with these things i.e Burnett, they aren't playing on game day. Sure hope it's different with Clay.
Yeah thanks, but I remember Burnett was also practicing about 3 weeks ago.... he's still not played a game yet.

We'll see on Clay.... as I said, he missed 4 games last year from the hammy, despite what he did in practices limited or not.....
