I am happy to see the Lions doing well on the heel of several horrible seasons. Same for Buffalo.

Several?

It's been a rough lifetime for this Lions fan. 1991 was nice to see. Barry Sanders was always a treat. After that?........ I got nothin'.

So far, this is a great season. It is a pleasure having a team that warrants discussion in the national media.

Buffalo has been fun to watch as well. Will be an interesting second half of the season.

--- heard one commentator today. "Denver fans can look to Detroit... just a few seasons ago they were 0-16..."

Like I said earlier in this thread, I think the Motor City needs a good Detroit run the way N'awlins needed the Saints post Katrina.

When the Lions eventually make the Playoffs (Hopefully a Home game or two) the Motor City will go CRAZY just like when the Wings finally won another Stanley Cup which took some 50 years and since have been a Playoff contender every year

Another Great 2nd half comeback WIN for the Lions today; Now 7 & 3 with the undefeated 10 & 0 Packers up next = Should be a Great Game on Thanksgiving especially at Home

Here they come, Detroit.

If GB's O line and TEs can give Rodgers a few seconds and keep Detroit's front four from killing him, they'll be in good shape. Quick passes, screens, and TE match ups will be key to putting up points.

For Detroit to win, Stafford needs to keep moving the chains, finish time consuming drives with TDs, and keep GB's offense on the sideline. GB's D isn't that good - they give up a shit-load of yards, but always seem to stiffen up when it matters.

Should be a great game - looking forward to watching it with a gut full of booze and turkey.

If GB's D-line can get any pressure across the line, the Lions will have a very slim chance of competing. The Lions have proven over and over again that the O-line is suspect against any of the higher talent D-lines this season.

I look forward to seeing a shoot-out. Hopefully, the Lions can mount some sort of ground game to keep the Pack honest.

Either way, I'll be drinking cheap beers and Canadian Club with my wife's Polish uncle, sitting on a 40 year old flower patterned couch, waiting for the turkey to finish it's dehydration cycle. Maybe NicoWife's loser 46-YO POS living-in-the-basement cousin will share some of his doobage to make the day interesting.

He asked to take my moto for a ride once. He was, of course, drunk. Telling him NFW almost got him to take a swing at me. Again. He really is a POS.

I think this is one of the games the Packers may drop. Detroit needs the win, especially with Chicago down Cutler.

I would love to see Detroit take this one, but I'm not putting any money on it.

Pretty tough to go undefeated in this league. Ford Field will be a madhouse of drunkardness, hopefully making it impossible for GB to get plays off. Might even have more Lions fans than Pack fans this time. Maybe.

between losing to the cowboys and the lions,
only my one drunk uncle has ruined more thanksgiving meals.

I'm the drunk uncle in my (hic), in my (hic), in my family.
