Can't wait for this Sunday. A win and Chicago and if Philly can pull off a win at Lambeau the Lions will sit alone at the top of the NFCN.

This may be our toughest game left on the schedule. Would be a huge win. Going to be a great game.

 

[detrisin]

Time for the Lions to put up or shut up. Will they play a full 60 minutes in all three phases? That's what's needed if they want to start to be considered a "real" franchise and true contender for their first ....wait for it...NFCN title. It's all there for them to take.

This isn't a prediction thread you horses ass.

Notice how u r the only one that cares?

 

[michiganalex]

I think the running game will be, key. Two packer running backs got over 100 yards. Cutler is back but will that really make a difference?

Prediction thread or not: 24-19 Lions.
