Best possible outcome:

Lions lose, Caldwell is fired, Packers D shuts out the Lions and Capers gets an extension.

Cool

If Hundley unleashes the dragon, buy Detroit_dogg an avatar of Aaron Rodgers smiling, with title text of your choice

Aaron Rodgers gay jokes deserve subtlety and not gauche redtext

This is arguably worse than reading it for the football bits, since at least his football thoughts are only 10-15 years out of date.

Find someone who values you like Rick Spielman values 7th round picks.



Im holding out hope that their new DC wants to switch back to 4-3.

Though this is significantly more likely with the Bears then GB.

In which the Lions sweep the Packers for the first time since 1991, and have back to back winning seasons for the first time since 1994 and 1995, but it's all for naught because they poo poo the bed against a horrendous Cincy team last Sunday.

I said it before but being a Lions fan is saying "I can't believe it!" when deep down you 100% knew it was coming.

Lions went 5-1 in the division this year. They had to do really really bad in the rest of their schedule to manage this.

On the one hand, 9-7 is a little better than I was expecting at the start of the year. But that record is inflated by the Brett Hundley Packers. That loving Bengals game.

But that 10 second runoff still looms rather large. :/

Throw that one on the list of rules that have screwed the Lions and then been reviewed/revised the following off-season. Feels like it happens once a season.

The Vikes have a lot of stats that make you "Well that's impressive" a first round bye and what would seem to be a clear road to a home Superbowl and I can't help wondering how it's all going to go bad.

WHOOPS

they’ll lose if they can’t get the play action working for them, cause those are the key plays for them to sustain longer drives and score more regularly. offense in general has felt a bit lacking since Carolina, though some of that seems to be a matter of a touchdown being enough to win the last few weeks.

but in general, i like their chances. Vikings defense at home is pretty special.
