lol

I'm gonna be busy until about 8 (cst). Skip 1st qtr and watch live or DVR and watch skipping commericals until caught up around half?

I'll be watching the game expecting a win.

I think you all are thinking of Stafford in a different way than you need to be. Flat out the dude might be the best QB in the game at this given time and going forward. Look at what he is doing. We have maybe the best QB in the game and the best WR. All the defense needs to do is hold them under 35 and we win.

Lions 38 Saints 33

its not a freeroll, lions would be favorites against most of the playoff teams this week. Only 2 teams in the nfl have qbs at or above stafford's level.

if stafford hadnt broken his hand he wouldve broken marinos record

everyone have fun tonight.. hopefully it's a big ass party in the mitten.

Slept in the Megatron jersey last night for extra karma.

3:15 away...

beer consumption going in full force......clock not so much

Go lions

to the legit Lion's fan congratulations already, been a long time coming... some keys of hope.. remeber Fairley dominating last game vs N.O... hes healthy with SUH, and Corey Williams is back, have you seen the stats of our pass defense with and without Delmas? you should look it up.. and oh yeah Delmas is back, healthy Stafford is top 3 QB in the league, Detroit is more disciplned then they were last time they played N.O. which probably cost them any real chance of winning last time... Det +11 is just so LOLOLOL its absurd, last thought.. don't watch this game just happy to be here, we have a legit ****in shot to win this... btw I can barely breath right now

I feel great, hope we are making history

Not sure what has me more pissed. the bad calls or the bad d. i guess the officiating, but you just cant miss so many tackles.

And int's.

Sad at the moment but happy with this season. Need to shore up run D but 10-6 and playoffs is a huge win for this season

yup yup.

The draft plan is simple, O-Line & all defense.

Fire this POS clown Gunther too, ffs. We can't even ****ing tackle.

0 punts forced by DET D. Felt pretty bad when the Lions start with the ball, win the turn-over battle 2-0 in the first half, and are only up 4 at halftime. Pretty sad effort by the D - the pair of great guards really neutralizing the defensive tackles much of the game let Brees pick them apart.

Sigh. Ten win season. The team's on the rise. Tough final two games tho.

With the 22nd overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions select...


Vontaze Burfict, LB, Arizona State.

we can only hope

thug Burfict would fit in well with us

didn't capitalize on our opportunities to get the ball back. That first third down deep inside their 10 we had them dead in the water and Tulloch missed an easy tackle. They took it down and scored. Other times had them third and long and failed every time with some WOAT tackling. Picks going right through their hands. Got to make those plays or NO is gonna burn you. Need some secondary help through the draft and have to find some type of running game. Not sure if I wanna gamble with Leshoure being healthy next season and Best in not an every down back so might need to address this. Don't want to just say take a CB with our first pick cause you don't know what is gonna be there but have to get something through the draft or through free agency.

Great season and really happy with where this team is going. Going to be a force for years to come and that is what the end game is. Perennial playoff team and you will got your shot eventually to ship that title.

im not sure what kind of superbowl threat we'll be as long as green bay's in the division. it's so hard to win on the road.

If a good OT drops, I'd take an O-Lineman over Burfict. Where we're drafting, there aren't any good RB's at the moment unless we want to reach on David Wilson, and I'd rather not. I wonder if Burfict will be on the board since a couple of different places have him either higher or lower.

Gando: As far as today's game goes, yeah, the pressure wasn't there, but Brees barely spent anytime in the pocket especially in the second half because his receivers were so open. Alphonso Smith got burned too many times and our Safety play wasn't much better.

Tuma: Green Bay won't go 15-1 every year. The door will be open sooner or later to win the division.

Things can change from year to year. I don't expect Green Bay to be pushing 16-0 next year, I think Detroit and Green Bay will likely stabilize into a kind of New Orleans/Atlanta relationship in the next few years.

Our draft in first round should be best available OL, LB, DB. Nothing else.

Both of the above posts hit it right on the head. Drafting an RB in the third round would be fine to see if perhaps we couldn't get a New Orleans three-headed attack going, but certainly not the first round.

Can't count out the Bears who have probably one more good year out of their defense. Will be interesting to see if Briggs causes them any trouble over his contract.
