Lions

[Skulley]

So Minnesota comes in tomorrow.  I think the Lions can do it however, the Vikes are going to be no pushover.  It's the last game of the regular season at Ford Field.  It would be nice to get a victory for the home crowd.  Especially because they head to Chicago next Sunday and Green Bay the Sunday after that.  It ain't going to be easy. Remember, my son predicts they are going to make the playoffs and I think he's nuts. But I love him anyway.............

Alright, the Lions have 10 wins. Can they stay in fist place?  The next two games will be nail biters. Stafford needs to step it up and complete more passes. Beating the Packers in Green Bay  will not be easy. GO LIONS !!!

CAW!!!  CAW!!!  CAW!!!

Keys to victory:

- The offense is more than just Calvin Johnson.  So many potentially good passing targets that they seem to just forget about every game with Megatron healthy.
- Establish the running game.  Rotate Bush and Riddick in with Bell.  Each has their strengths and weaknesses.
- Stafford needs to throw accurately. No more low passes.  No more overthrown passes.

Defense just needs to keep doing what it's doing.  The pack isn't unbeatable.  Buffalo beat them with D.  So can the Lions.

Games at Soldier field and Lambeau are going to be brutal though.

Da - Bears in Chicago  in the cold, it would not surprise me to see the Lions fall apart. In a  must win game. If they can win Sunday, the momentum  should carry in to GreenBay next week. GO LIONS!!!

11 wins baby. No wins in Lambeau in 23 years. They need to get their act together on both sides of the ball. An ugly win is still a win.

They really were lucky today........caw caw caw!!!!!

Bet your son has a big grin today.

They sure tried   to give it away Sunday, with penalties   and interceptions. I must say,they make a Sunday afternoon vary exciting .The Lions were vary sloppy in Chicago . Rodgers will tare   them up in Green Bay, if they can't step it up. GO LIONS!!!

I told him don't get too excited. The frozen tundra of Lambeau Field will fix that. As my Uncle Peter used to say, God rest his soul, "The Pack is back!!!" Caw caw caw!!!!

The Lions amaze me in the ways they come up with, to lose games. Come on Ray! The Lions really need to bring their A game  on Sunday. GO LIONS!!!

And so far in this game, Rodgers is controlling the tempo. The Lions D has already been on the field too long. It's still only the 1st half and anything can happen. Boy some crow would taste good after this one.......but I am ye of little faith.

Sloppy,sloppy Stafford couldn't   hit water. If he fell out of a boat.  Come on Matt, all you have to do. Is put the ball in a receiver's   hands. Cowboys on the road?  GO LIONS

I've said it on this forum time and time again. Good teams find a way to win. The Lions are NOT a good team. They won't beat Dallas next week either. Even Bradshaw said that on the post game show. I won't believe the Lions are a contender until they string 3 or 4 winning seasons together. So one winning season down 2 or 3 to go. I do have to admit that an 11 and 5 season isn't too awful bad.  Let's see if they can do it again next fall 2015.

Boo on Suh, nice job #90. Just what we  need another handicap, in a playoff game.

The Lions aren't going to win anyway.................. If they do, it will be shear luck.  The Lions are not in the same league with the Cowboys.  It will be ugly.................for the Lions.

Maybe they will pre-empt the game with Heidi or some other movie.

So I'm the optimist - what I saw was a Lions barely lose to the Packers. Basically by a field goal if you take away the special teams play.
GB is a better team the cowboys even with Rogers on one leg. Its hard to beat any team on the road and impossible to beat the packers - who was the last team to do it?
I give the Lions a chance, not a big one but a chance. Demarco will be hard to stop even with Suh in the game. He has been a beast this year.
Should be fun to watch and pull for the Lions.

Nice run , it was fun while it lasted. Penalty's and a few bad calls, seems to follow the Lions around  every year. I hope to see a Lions championship in  my life time. GO LIONS!!!
