It was evident to everyone watching the Detroit Lions' offense attempt to move the ball in the 22-9 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday that Calvin Johnson's absence made a huge difference in the contest. In some of the worst coach-speak we've heard in a long time, Lions coach Jim Schwartz told reporters that Megatron not playing didn't affect the game. "Calvin wasn't one of our 46 (active players) today," he said following the game. "You can't say he affected the outcome, he wasn't one of the guys on the field. We had 46 guys on the field and those were the guys that affected the outcome of the game." Source: NFL.com Sweets's Take: Hahahahaha, I love that Schwartz is such a tool, first he can't handle a man-slap on the back now he's lying and saying Johnson being out didn't affect the team, did you enjoy the ass-kicking Jim?
It may not of affected the players. It affected the "team." When you lose your best player and the best player at his position in the league...it affects the "team."
