MHR and Niners Nation are my favourite other SBN sites, as they have some really great features like the one above.

wow...

That took some serious work!

No one stat can be used to rank a defense – at least he didn’t use total yards, but still.

Kudos to him for all that analysis, though.

PS. Did you see how many contributors they have at MHR? Wow!

I just read the 49ers and Lions posts. I can't help but thinking, "There, but for the grace of God (and his Saints), go I."

It’s amazing how I can now really empathize with these teams. Yep, we’ve all been there and done that!

Fat, dumb, and happy. Hell, two out of three ain't bad!

Does anybody else love the pun involved in the Detroit blog name as much as I do?

And it was actually a decent post there too. OK, granted, I doubt they will actually make the playoffs this year, but I wouldn’t be completely shocked if it did happen either. I think they may finally have some hope of turning things around… but probably “not quite yet”…

I see some scary similarities to the Cowboys with Jimmie Johnson...

I think they went 1-15 in Aikman’s 1st year, but they were putting the pieces in place. Of course, I don’t see us giving them 29 players and draft picks for an over-hyped running back like we did for the Cowboys. Everyone seems to agree that they finally are heading in the right direction… amazing what a good QB can do for a franchise.
