When Was The Last Time You Saw The Lions And Bills In First Place

For the past 10 years there haven’t been anything good to cheer about in Buffalo or Detroit. Since the great days of Barry Sanders and Thurmond Thomas, these two teams have been obscure at best. Well all of that has changed in 2011. These two teams have finally found themselves in the mix early in the season and neither looks as if they are going to fade anytime soon.

Both are headed by coaches that I personally know well. The Lions are headed by Jim Schwartz who is a feisty energetic coach, who relates well with the players. Schwartz spent some time coaching at my alma mater North Carolina Central University as a defensive backs coach in 1991 and 1992. He was always fun to be around because of his love for the game and his passion about his alma mater Georgetown University.

A Good Week For The Bills, Well Most Of Them

Steve Johnson And The Bills Have A Point: Why So Serious

Stevie Johnson is right, Why is everyone so serious in the NFL? First you are playing a game for a living. Yeah you should play it to the fullest and yes you should try to win but these guys get paid a kings ransom to play a child's game. So what you weren't targeted this week, maybe you won't be targeted next week, the question is Did you do your job, and can your team depend on you? 

Of course everyone wants a big pay day. Of course everyone wants to be a star. But ask yourself, why didn't any balls come my way? Am I open? Can I still do it? Are they doubling me? If you have an answer to all of those questions and that answer is yes, then what are you complaining about. 

Some players act like its the end of the world when a streak comes to an end. My logic is simple, if the team has to go out of the way to make sure your streak doesn't end, the record you are chasing probably really doesn't matter anyways. The person who set the record set it being relevant. You may ask hey Joe, Why the rant? It's simple, records are made to be broken, records are also to be obtained when you are still relevant.
