Lions are for real
Last night proved it. What a great game -- loved the 88 yard run from Jahvid Best.

1. And next week we'll find out if the Niners are real when they play them.
That should be a good game as two resurgent teams go at each other.

3. I have never seen......
....the Lions play before a sold out Raideresque crowd.

....the Lions execute much of anything.

....a more sad team, especially for the fans.

and then there's these Lions!

I am looking forward to Thanksgiving! This is going to be good!

6. someone sounds scared

bring it Cheesehead.

OE I love this stuff..no bad hits..no ugliness..we have an instant rivalry for at least this year for the right reason.. because the last two undefeateds are in the same division.

That said...bring it cheesehead

7. Scared of the Kitties?
You have a little bit to prove before the Super Bowl Champs are going to be scared of your team.

You earned respect but don't get cocky.

Face it. The Lions could never handle the injuries Green Bay suffered last year.

Your depth isn't there.

Stay classy Detroit!

9. oh you guys have my respect
Edited on Tue Oct-11-11 04:40 PM by backwoodsbob
We were talking about it this Morning at the shop...I could see my Lions going 13-3...with 2 losses to the Cheesheads.

Green Bay looks unstoppable.

When you have 4 pro bowl quality receivers and a HOF quality TE catching from a HOF quality QB...that's tough to beat.

I give you guys props..you're awesome..possibly unbeatable this year..but we are coming :pals:

OE: you also have the best three LB'er combo in the league

5. That front line was awesome.
First game in memory that I've watched the Lions play (other than Thanksgiving, of course), but I haven't seen a quicker, more aggressive front 4 in the NFL in a long time. Happy for Detroit fans that they have a football team that they can get excited over.

12. Never thought I'd look forward to seeing the Lions play on Thanksgiving.
This year it looks like it might be one of the best of the year.
