Yes, 13 more winnable games. As long as the other team doesn't cheat. Or the refs call it 100 percent in favor of the Lions. Or there's not a breeze in the opponent stadium. Or if the color rush jerseys don't cause the Lions players that deal with color blindness to tackle their own teammate. Or it doesn't rain, because some of the players can't deal with rain. Or if Stafford has the perfect pocket to throw in. Or if they don't deal with unfair injuries that only the Lions deal with.

Did I miss any?

It doesn't have to be 100% in favor of the Lions, quite the contrary. It has to be normal proper calls. i.e not 100% in favor of the Packers. Or 90% or whatever. I want 50/50, not 10/90 in the other teams favor.

Lions only have 2 more outdoor games. Will it rain on Sunday in Chicago?

Stafford does well with pressure. Doesn't need to be perfect pocket every time.

Right now, the Bears might be the worst team in the NFL. 2nd string QB and RB.

Lions use proper inside technique. Packers were grabbing sleeves and outside the shoulders. That plus Ansah not playing means no pass rush. 3-5 more proper holding calls and the Lions win the game.
Cobb 33 yarder, Nelson TD, Nelson OPI for 2nd TD.


Almost every TD drive there was holding or another penalty improperly not called. And when Ebron (wrong call) and Laken (right call on a TD) get dinged the week before, it makes it even worse. The calls that went against Detroit in the Titans game would never go against the Packers.

Hoyer has outperformed Cutler IMO. 0 picks and 0 sacks
Howard is better than Langford. Howard is the equivalent of Dwayne Washington for us. Miller is solid. Royal and White have shown some signs of life.

The Bears defense is awful though. Detroit 31 Bears 21

You know when holding gets called? When you have playmekers that force the hold and makes it looks obvious. The Packers just had to sit back and catch us all day because we have no one with talent on the dline. That shit will never get called....ever.

Nope...bears with more significant injuries. True Loss already in the books! Lions 1-3!...might as well not even play the game.

It's not flimsy. The game tape shows the Packers cheating. I didn't write that article.

Where did I deny that the Packers were using illegal techniques? I did not. I'm arguing the degree to which that impacted the outcome of the game. That is what is flimsy to me. That was my entire reasoning behind asking whether or not the Lions were protesting about this during the game. I was curious to learn more about this situation.

If it is such a big deal, wouldn't you think they would have put up a more noticeable fuss? Then you made up some nonsense about how "they did" without backing it up with any evidence. I was very interested to see that, but apparently you just were talking out of your butt on that one perhaps. Can't say that shocks me.

Refs fuck up so much every week i doubt you'll ever see someone be a big enough bitch to complain about holding.
