The SBNation sites are currently down, I'll get those preview and practice injury report links when it's back up.

 

[LKP]

Victor Cruz is out.

 

[mhughes0021]

the toilet bowl.

 

[LKP]

the toilet bowl.

Green Bay and Chicago assured of wins?

 

[kdp80]

Pitt is going to stomp GB. Philly will probably lose to the Bears though.

 

[mhughes0021]

Green Bay and Chicago assured of wins?

one of them are, yes.

 

[grandy]

Doesn't matter

Lions will choke this game away at home against a team that has already quit.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I'm more worried, though worried is probably not the correct adjective, about Minnesota.

great way to stay positive there

great way to stay positive there

Pretty sure you've predicted a Lions win in every game so far, how's that working out?

 

[LKP]

Pettigrew out. Houston(toe), Levy(foot) and Mathis(flu) all questionable.

 

[jswain]

Lions win next two...book it

 

[kdp80]

Now that Minnesota has figured out who their qb is, I'm not so sure.

 

[tigermud]

Rodgers not cleared still and is out Sunday vs Pitts

Not that it matters much since the lions are highly unlikely to win thier last two games but still...amazing...GB and CHI could yet give the lions one more opportunity again...for em to add insult to injury and rip our hearts last time before calling it a year

 

[motown1958]

After seeing the chicago tribune writer talking shit about the lions after mondays loss I hope they lose we win and are tied after the final week so we can really add insult to injury by going to the playoffs. I hate the bears and everyone that has anyone to do with them.

If the situation was reversed id be shit talking them too. Imagine we're in first place with Hill starting for 5 games and the Bears choked away the season like total assholes?

and piss their way out of a top 15 pick after they've pissed themselves out of the division lead...sounds about right.
