If Detroit beats Green Bay

[michiganalex]

yes it will make them 4-1 and there are still 11 games left. but if they did beat the packers in Green Bay, are they unofficially Division Champs with going 3-0 in Division?

Not division champs yet, but that would make me feel great.

I'm unsure how I feel about your question. I will get back to you.

No, that would make worest case 3-3 and 5-1 is still better.

wudda mean IF! They haven't won there since 1991 or something stupid. Of course there ending that streak this year also! LOL.. ok ok yeah this is what happens when you start out 3-1 you get all excited and allow thoughts of hope to return. I don't know why we let that happen every other year but yeah....side note.. anyone notice Riola discount double check in the bears games Sunday? why does it do that against the bears? I think he did that last year againts the bears also. wtf is that all about.

If they gave division championships out after 5 games then yes....they would be division champs. But they don't....so it is on to the next game.

Ummm....no.

If they beat GB and then go out and lose the next 11, then no, it won't matter.

I still remember last season where 4-4 turned into 4-12.

just watching the games you can tell its a different team. RIght when ponder and Locker had just got done scorching us the writing was on the wall for that team. RIghtnow the other phases are playing well enough to stay away from that kind of streak. Team is still fragile as far as depth goes though....couple key injuries and things could get shaky real fast....gotta stay healthy.

I thought when they when 3-1 to get to 4-4 last years team was different. I was wrong. And if we lose Bush for any time, we might be screwed.

My wife is from Green Bay and we lived within earshot of Lambeau for a few years. Fuck the division. If the Lions win IN Green Bay, Lions are champions of my house. That's good enough for me.

It means they are halfway toward eliminating their negative streaks. Remaining will be Thanksgiving (also vs Pack) and Super Bowl drought. I would include playoff drought, but if they take care of the other 3 then I'm going with the big one instead of the smaller one which would be taken care of along the way.
