Win today and I consider this season a success, even if they do go 2-14.

fuck that, this season is a waste and another wasted year of good talent. I hope CJ does get traded so he can go to a real contender and get a legitimate chance at a Super Bowl. Only thing the Lions can do now is screw up and not get the first pick, which they would screw that pick up anyways.

 

[adam86107]

They haven't won in green bay in 24 years, I would be ecstatic if they broke that steak today.

 

[tigermud]

I'll just be happy if we don't get the ball first for the billionth time past few years..back to little tiny baby steps


It is a nice day for football at aleast very enjoyable nice warm sunny day

 

[cheeno]

I bet the Lions +13! I think I'm more confident than our players!

 

[tigermud]

Alright! We get he ball first after half time! I'm happy, it's already a victory

 

[cheeno]

Van Noy spotted. Next....Nessie

 

[Monster]

I don't even want to watch, but I can't help myself

 

[Mitchrapp]

Hope they don't go all normal plays today. They have nothing to lose, go for 4th and 2 instead of a FG. Try a fake point, just not like Indy. Do something. Just not too much.. I don't want Sheldon White perma GM.

Lions GMs are like Rome's Caesers

 

[inkfreq]

Four whole plays, and it's already a long day.

 

[tigermud]

I suspect Green Bay will have zero punts today

 

[grandy]

I give the Lions a 0% chance of winning today

 

[cheeno]

Quinn doesn't get him and that a td

 

[inkfreq]

The last two weeks the Packers have been letting Rodgers be abused. Today?

The man is ordering Christmas gifts on amazon from his mobile phone back there waiting for receivers to get open.

 

[tigermud]

If that were us I would have bounced out instead of in

Damned if you do damned if you don't. Secondary sucks so bad if you blitz you get torched. Dline sucks so bad you can't get pressure rushing four.

If that were us, we wouldn't have even gotten into FG range.

 

[Mitchrapp]

TD here we come. Come on Matt.
