Also the winningest division at 11 wins, just ahead of the NFC West at 10

Not to be critical, but according to that graphic it's 12 wins.

Correct, it's the NFC West that's at 11 my bad.

Either way there was some talk in the offseason that the NFC North might be a much improved division. So far that seems to be the case

If Minnesota can keep running an actual offense, you could argue there's not a bad team in the division.

Lions stand a very real chance of turning back into a blue and silver pumpkin on Monday, especially now that KC is maybe not the top-tier team we thought they were.

i have no idea why you think that, transitive properties suggest that the colts could beat the lions because the colts beat the chiefs who beat the lions, but the packers lost to the eagles who lost to the lions, the power levels of the various teams are easy to assess

thats perhaps the most valid fan tactic you can partake in to affect the outcome of the game, and its one of the reasons the packers have had an easy time with the lions in the past

The Bears would be a really good team if they had a decent quarterback. The receivers are great, the defense is great, the o line is adequate. Teams like to crowd the line of scrimmage against them because they don't believe they can do it through the air

A guy like Watson or Mahomes would be cool.

When Hicks went down I knew the game would be an uphill battle. Bears D line depends on rotations and the guys being fresh, even if someone else had gone down it would be tough let alone a probowler. Nichols is also an underrated cog in the system.

Offensive stuff is not rocket science.

Long is past it. Larsen was hurt so there were pretty much no other options.

No solid blocking TE...Holtz, Braunecker and Shaheen are all somehow more valuable than Bradley Sowell, I don't see it but whatever.

Chase is a career backup, Nagy's offense is built on the QB being a run threat, he can't.

On the plus side Robinson is awesome and Taylor Gabriel is making great plays when healthy

meh. I'm not ready to believe in the Lions quite yet, and I don't think it's a given that they will thrash anyone except maybe the worst teams in the league. This is the team that tied the Cardinals in their first game

Plus, the Vikings themselves are pretty unpredictable as far as how their performance will go

The Bears have the third worst yards per offensive play in the league. Only the Jets and Dolphins are worse. Their offense is so, so bad.

Kirk Cousins plays well against lovely teams and poorly against good teams. This is how his entire career had played out, and it will just keep playing out that way.

Hey, I did say "if" guys. Besides, maybe they've turned the corner and will be able to run a balanced and effective offense around Kirk and return to their good form of the Case Keenum days. I don't think "Case Keenum" is an extreme expectation for Cousins.

and RE: Cousins LOL, I remember Lions being embarrassed by Chase Daniel last year so handle your business

Maybe since brokeback Stafford gone he won't eat like 10 sacks* this year and they do something

MNF @ Lambeau, off an early bye, huge game












*literally 10 sacks in one game
