You know, I watched the Lions while living in MI (2006/07 - 2009/10 seasons) and only decided to root for Baltimore this season because I moved back down to Richmond -- and (apologies to Grabthar) I can't stand the Redskins. But the Lions are on the up. Give them another couple years' worth of the developments they made this season and we could see them in the playoffs.

Now you know my pain as a Cowboys fan. They were on the cusp, now they're in doldrums again.
You don't know pain. I'm a Bengals fan =P.
no.. YOU dont know pain... im a Raiders fan. BUT!!!! here is something we can both agree on: at least we're not Lions fans!!
Lol well at least you can say "I remember the good ol' days when we won games." LoL for us the good ol days were two losing trips to the Superbowl in the 80's =P lol. Plus you guys have some hope at least after this season, sheesh, we rehired a coach that has only two winning seasons in 9 years and just had a 4-12 season O_O! What the hell?! At least Al Davis, as crazy as he is, brought Oakland a few Superbowl wins back in the day. So long as Mike Brown lives for the Bengals we'll never win a championship in my opinion =P.
But yes yes I agree, better a Bengals or a Raiders fan than a Lions fan =P. lol

They look alright, might be decent in a few years if they can keep Stafford healthy. They have a pretty decent young defense though and I expect them to at least be competitive in a few years as long as they stay healthy.

Shhhhhh...be bwery bwery quiet, I'm huntin' hewetics of the Empewa. Huhuhuhuuu...
Honestly, the Raiders will never win another superbowl while Al Davis is still alive...
The Lions were also pretty damn good when they had a certain running back who could be considered the G.O.A.T. but they never supported him, we'll see if the current folks who work there support stafford better than they did that "other" guy
Well.... At least Philly recognised where a big part of their isses were.... They canned McDermott. Of course they have so many personel issues.....

PATs are down, I repeat PATs are down! Our Jets took them out.
And whilst you're pointing and shouting at the boogeyman in the corner, you're missing the burglar coming in through the window.
Well, Duh! Because they had a giant Mining ship. If you had a giant mining ship you would drill holes in everything too, before you'd destory it with a black hole
Yeah, Forte throwing the ball was a bit of a surprise. My wife and I can only figure that Martz wanted to show something to make the Packers have to worry about it.
Man homefield is just not safe this year at all in the playoffs. Wouldn't be surprised if the Packers and the Jets make it to the Super Bowl in the end. The AFC and NFC championship games should be pretty good though.

Yeah I would have to agree on the Al Davis thing, those rings of his are giving him unnatural long life though which leads me to believe...

Great playoffs so far. No Saints no more Pats, every team I hate is gone and we're gonna have an awesome NFC championship match to catapult the Packers to another superbowl win!

In terms of getting interceptions they're second(24 interceptions compared to the Patriots with 25), in terms of getting intercepted I would say that would be Favre this year and Cutler last year I think. Green Bay is also 2nd in terms of sacking the opposing team(behind the steelers), 5th in terms of passing(steelers are 14th, bears are 28th, jets are 22nd), and 24th in rushing(steelers are 11th, bears are 22nd, and jets are 4th).
Bears and Steelers both have 21 interceptions, Steelers rely on sacking the other guys for their pass defense really and the Jets are kind of pathetic in terms of interceptions with only 12.
Growing up as a packer fan during the Favre era, I have a lot of respect for the man. Its a shame he had to go out like this, in fact its downright shameful.

Yeah I liked Favre too back in the day. it was always exciting to watch him play but the last 3 years have just soured my view of him. I just found it selfish that when he unretired the first time he just expected the Packers to take him back after making numerous moves to prepare Rodgers for the starting role. It was time for him to move on and it was definitely time to give Rodgers a chance to play.

to be more fair, GB did make moves for Rodgers before Favre left, and he was in serious risk of being benched for Rodgers even if he was still with the packers.
Farve needed to play until he was knocked out which he final was this year his streak boken and he can go home with no what if's. the greats do silly things at times.

41- 14 bears.
Thats an awfully bold prediction lol. It wouldn't surprise me, too much, if the Bears won but by that spread? No way.
Shhhhhh...be bwery bwery quiet, I'm huntin' hewetics of the Empewa. Huhuhuhuuu...
Packers have a much better pass rush than Seahawks. Cutler takes a seven step drop-back on pass plays. Matthews is a beast on blitz.... He is the one that took Kolb out in the first game in Philly.
The math here doesn't favor the Bears.
Packers by 6.

On the other end of the spectrum....
I think the Jets at Steelers is going to wind up a kickers battle.
Jets have the (marginally) better kicker.... Jets by 3.

What are you on? It's going to be a close game or a Packers blow out. Only team the Bears blasted this season was the Vikings and the Vikings are terrible.
Edit: And Green Bay hasn't lost by more than 7 this season.

yeah 41-14 is a stretch but there is no way the bears lose to that tom brady want to be aron rodgers in the playoffs.
in green bay when the bears had nothing to play for other then a glorified practice the packers could only score 10 points. We thank the packers for giving us the nfc championship game at home but if you guys wanted to win you would have kept Farve.

1) Nice maturity.
2) You really think Chicago wasn't trying to keep Green Bay out of the playoffs? Who got smoked by New England and who barely lost to New England with a 2nd string QB?
3) You think Brett Favre is better than Aaron Rodgers? Favre is an overrated interception machine who was never a leader. If Green Bay didn't have an amazing defense they would have never gotten to those two Superbowls.

I think Chicago was trying, but I also think they didn't show everything, as they had no need to. Whereas Green Bay needed to win to be in, so held little back. The Packers have played three straight must-win games against quality teams, the Bears got a bye and a cakewalk over the Seagulls, and are playing at home.
I think it'll be a close game, barring Cutler melting down, in which case the Bears will beat themselves.
Who got smoked by New England and who barely lost to New England with a 2nd string QB?
Sorry, but predicting the Pack to lose by 27 is just ridiculous. No one has been able to run up the score on them this year and while the Bears are strong they aren't the team that's going to break the streak. I'll go with Pack by 7 but even if the Bears win I won't be heartbroken. Atlanta and New Orleans are both out and that's the important thing.
