    Hold tight, things look great for the Lions but they've played from behind more than ahead and that is resolve but also shows weakness. They also have games at Giants and Boys....Gmen are incredibly tough at home as shown last night. Then they have to finish against GB which might be fighting for their lives. I can as easily see Lions finishing 9-7 as 12-4....


    He couldn't this game against the Seahawks either...quite a few times he stayed in and tucked or threw it away when normal AR would have booted out like normal. Not good at all though as you cannot expect him to continue to do that forever in the coming weeks and into the playoffs.

    Stafford's ligament in the middle finger of his throwing hand is going to be problematic going forward the rest of the season.

    That's a load of crap! If she was Suzy Chapstick his high school sweetheart and not a "celebrity" it wouldn't be mentioned.

    He's able to do that because your O-line actually gives him time, sometimes I can't believe how much time. Not much of what happened yesterday was really normal either.

    Gloves help with gripping the ball.

    Not really that is all it will allow the trainer to tape the damaged finger to another finger for support yet still grip the ball.

    They just need 1 depending on how tie breakers all go.

    They might beat either the cowboys or the giants but they will not beat the Packers. The lions could lose the next 3 but they will not win 2 of the last 3 games. It just dawned on me I will be spending Christmas Eve with my viking fan siblings and family, not going to be good. One of my favorite christmas eve viking packer games years ago at the metrodome the Packers won of course and after the game we open presents with everyone. My family likes the kids to take turns opening gifts so everyone can watch, just so happened the first 3 gifts my son opened were Packer jerseys.:lol:

    The Bears will have an immense amount of motivation to ruin/cancel GB's postseason dreams.
    The Vikings may still be playing for their own playoff hopes, and to ruin GB's.
    The Lions same.

    The motivation of our 3 remaining opponents is immense, and the key will be AR, McCarthy and all involved to continue playing with an edge on them like we've seen recently. One false step back to our pitiful ways and this season is as it started; a waste of time.

    The Vikings pose very little threat to yesterday's packers. The only reason the Vikes scored 25 points yesterday is that the jags were not prepared for the deep balls - Minnesota's protection actually held for s few plays. Their next opponents won't make the same mistake.

    The Vikes only real hope on Christmas Eve is if the packers from a month ago shows up.

    I firmly believe the Packers will win the division. Will be fun the next 3 weeks just win. Hell I may even buy a 2016 Division Championship hat.

    I was pessimistic but now looking at the way things shake up with the Lion's schedule I think I agree Sota. The Pack have the better shot to make the playoffs I think even with 3 games to play and they are down two. I don't think the lions beat either Giants or the Cowboys. Prob not the pack either.

    The Pack look great but while our final 3 aren't as hard as the Lions it is most definitely against the 3 teams that know us in and out the most. I am jacked up for the final 3 weeks though and excited to see the Pack play which up until a couple weeks ago I hadn't been excited in quite awhile.

    For the sake of my fantasy team, Cobb needs to step it up. Playoffs start this week and good $ on the line.

    I hope Adams keeps it up, I had a bet where with a guy that he was set for a break out year due to all his injuries in the past and such and it being a prove it year. If he finishes as top yards receiver for us I win a nice little pot! He is just a hair behind Jordy in yards.

    I hope he catches one and for the sake of clock management and the game is in the bag he takes a knee at the 1 yard line. It is ok to gamble on the Packers, not on players. Vince would be sickened.:lol:
