As big as this week is for the Lions, it's bigger for the Pack. Chargers?

The big one for the Lions is week 4. We shall see...

Twiddler · 09-19-2007, 01:25 PM

Well, I honestly think it might be a bigger week for the Lions due to the fact that the Packers really have small odds of beating the Chargers while if the Lions were to beat the Eagles who have potential to be good this year they would most likely move into top alone and it would be a huge confidence booster. If these past two weeks haven't been enough of a confidence booster.

True, but a win over the Bears early in the season would be incredible.

but won't happen. we. unlike the last three teams you faced have something called a defense. something that detroit hasn't seen in a while.

i'm calling it right now. bears 62 - lions 12. (but more importantly, TOP will be 45 bears, 15 lions...)

it's not that unlikely... i mean. rexy's done it before to the lions.

Yes... and the Vikings were 10-0 against the Lions over their previous 10 games before Sunday.

I took your prediction down. We'll see what happens.

Minnesota doesn't have a defense?....lol....these bears fans have been talking out of their ass lately....

At this point I wont consider the Lions a contender at all. So far they have managed to barley beat the Raiders after going out to an early 17-0 lead. And they barley managed to beat the Vikings neither team is very good.

If they beat the Eagles and the Bears then ill consider them as a threat but right now I dont and I think that they will lose both of those games.

If John Kitna wouldn't have gotten injured they would have won by two scores......and they controlled that entire game.....they only scored one offensive touchdown....and that touchdown wouldn't have never happened if Rod would have gotten the challenge flag out on time....and as far as them barely beating Oakland....since when is 15 points "barely"

He said automatic... not likely. I don't think theres a kicker in the league that is "automatic" from 50+.

They can stop the run pretty well.
Seeing as the lions don't run. I don't think minnesota has a defense.

Come one now, Minny should beat KC. KC is terrible, oh wait, Minny has no QB...

Good! That put me in a lol-lol situation. Either we win, so I lol @ Eagles. Either the bears lose and... well I demand the happy dance on Youtube, and then I will lol at that.

Addict · 09-23-2007, 03:12 PM

Well I'd just like to congratulate the Packers... that's a great win.

As for the lions.... well, they killed us through the air, which is no surprise... We need a pass rush, scratch that, a defense.

bearsfan_51 · 09-23-2007, 03:23 PM

Unless the Bears come out and dominate the Cowboys (and maybe even if they still do) you've got to recognize the Packers as the early favorites in the division. That said I think both teams make the playoffs either way.

So much for being the worst division
