Lions can't beat the Pack if they play like they did today, unbelievable. Something was wrong there, not just an off day, bigger problems.
Stafford had the worst game of his career. It was the worst game (and so far the only bad game) of the season. How is this anything other than an off day.

The Lions have 2 more games against Green bay, the saints, raiders, and chargers.

That's about 3 losses right there out of the last 7. They will finish 9-7 or 8-8

He ran into the Bears, the lions are overated...and again your QB is is injured he has a broken index finger on his right hand which the lions will be finded for not reporting to the leage...

The thing is that the Lions have Hill who could come in and do a good job. Don't know why they wouldn't put him in.

This was a bad, bad game for the Lions. I have seen them have bad games this season but bounced back to keep winning.

Seems they got drastically out of sync coming off a bi week. Hopefully coming home and wiping off the dirt from Chicago and beating out the Panthers will pump them up for the Packers.

It's never a done deal.

Injuries can and will happen. You never know what will happen.

Finded?

I could care less about a fine. Hill is a capable 2nd string and did well last season when Stafford was out.

While the Lions have a tough stretch coming up, the other wildcard competition needs to be taken into consideration and Dallas and Atlanta have been playing erratically this season. Atlanta and the Bears are of course the biggest challengers for the WC spots.

The lions finishing 2-5 to end up 8-8 is an unreasonable prediction IMO. For that to happen they'd have to lose some winnable games as well, a complete collapse pretty much and they are certainly a decent team. How quickly people forget the beat down they gave Denver who is an average team?

FYI- I predicted back around week 2-3 that Detroit would start strong and then struggle if people just bothered to look at their schedule.

While I am a Bears fan, I think it's safer to say that the Bears have fixed thier early season problems and it's no longer Cutler on the ground 12-15 times a game within 2 seconds of taking the snap.

Look back at some of the Bears early games against GB and NO and if Cutler had been getting the protection then those games would have been tight contests.

Basically, the Bears are very tough opponents right now and everything that could go wrong for Detroit did go wrong. Detroit is only over-rated in a few bandwagon fans minds that are too big of noobs to look at their schedule and also factor in the improvement of the Bears.

The big problem Detroit has IMO was the heads up loss to Atlanta. That could bite them in the butt as a 10-6 team that misses the playoffs due to tie-breaker.

I agree I thought they would go 8-8...
