I've been picking the Lions and not doing so well. So anti-reverse. 22-17 KC.

Why reverse the curse? Best thing right now is for them to not win and get the top draft pick for a whole new staff to build with.

So we're even a bigger laughing stock? I get that you want them to lose but I can't, in good conscience, do that. Plus I'm not sold on the fact a bad season gets anyone fired.

Exactly, ANY progress shown by the Lions keeps Caldwell here. The only way the Lions lose out is if Stafford gets injured. 5-6 more wins, that's what I'm seeing. Anyways, Lions 27 Chiefs 16

Despite the misery of it all, i'm going to soldier forward and watch every game I get free on my home television.

That will likely only be tomorrow and Thanksgiving.

6:30 AM kick off for me; I sure am glad it's fall back day.

Same, though I'm pretty sure I'll be a sleep for Tomorrows game. No time change here in Arizona but fall back day still helps, 7:30 instead of 6:30.

2:30 kickoff here in jolly ol england, should be a good one. Few lions fans walking around here

I'm up at 5:00 every morning. I'll be on my third cup of coffee by then.

What a great way to start a day. Football! Lions football! I can't wait!

Weekends are my stay up late days.. Can't seem to fall a sleep before 2am. I could watch the second half. We should be ahead at that point.

Can't believe you went all that way to see a football game with a 1 and 6 team playing a 2 and 5 team.
