Now on to Beat Green Bay

[Mitchrapp]

We can play with anyone and we much up with GB as well as anyone can.

Never bet against the Lions on Thanksgiving either.

you realize they've lost 8 in a row on Thanksgiving.

In fairness, we had Millen for 6 of the those. And a risidual effect on the other two

We can beat them.....as long as we dont beat ourselves....dumb penalties, ST lapses, TO

I agree 100% with you on that. The problem is....we simply cannot avoid stupid penalties for some reason. EVERY single fuckin game that shit happens.

3rd and 22 stop?? Illegal hands to the face.

3rd and 9..5 yard gain....illegal contact.

Roughing the passer.

Blow to the head.

Offsides.

It's been a constant under Schwartz. For us to beat good teams that HAS to stop. It sounds simple. Don't take stupid penalties, don't turn the ball over.....get a W. We just haven't been able to do that in a game this year really. It's one or the other or both.

We can beat Carolina, Minnesota and even the Dallas's of the world like that.

Not Green Bay. They will kill us if we do that shit.

So I have two predictions.

Stupid Lions...Green Bay wins 38-17

Good Lions....Lions 31-27

Yep, we will get a stupid penalty......and can survive with it....ST blunders and TO we will not

I could careless...he said never bet against the Lions on Thanksgiving Day.

well betting the Lions on T -Giving the last 8 times would have lost you a fair bit of cash.

Lions are 33-36-2 all time on Turkey Day...

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Lions are 33-36-2 all time on Turkey Day...

...a .478 winning percentage

all time the Lions are 503-596-32....a .458 winning percentage.

They are 2% more likely to win on Turkey Day. Not really a difference worth betting on.

Their all-time home record would be more accurate.

They are 306-250-14 all time at home...a .549 winning percentage. So they actually have a better chance of losing on thanksgiving.

In all fairness, the NFL never gives us cream puffs on Turkey day. Usually it's a team that's expected to be deep in the playoffs.

True who would want to see Lions/Panthers or Lions/Chiefs. Lions/Packers is exactly what I want to see on Thanskgiving now that the Lions are competitive again. Millen was a disaster every day including Thanksgiving. Lions/Colts or Lions/Texans next year for the CBS game.
