    Breaking Down the NFC North, 2024

    Over 2 days later and still not quite sure how I actually feel, lol. Been a Lions fan for just about 40 years. I've felt plenty of hurt, but this is different because when the hell did we ever have expectations of greatness. Rationally I understand that playoff heartbreak is better than the...

    Packers @ Lions Pre-Game (Thurs Night)

    Genuinely not feeling great about this game as a Detroit fan. Too many injuries on defense and GB has been looking much better as of late. Honestly wouldn't be shocked to see both teams score over 40, I fear that's the only chance Detroit has to win. I expect the Packers to move the ball almost...

    Week 9 vs the Lions Pre-Week Chat

    Hutch got hurt against the Cowboys. The Lions then played the Vikings and Titans.

    2023 TNF shout box thread vs Motown kitty cats.

    What do you mean for a change? Over the last 10 games: Lions - 57 for 534, more calls against in 5 games Packers - 61 for 508, more calls against in 5 Pretty balanced. Last 5 games: Lions - 31 for 300, had more in 4 games Packers - 21 for 197, had more in 1 game Less balanced, lol.

    2023 week 4 TNF vs the Lions pregame thread

    I can get behind this post. I would love to see the Lions win (every week), and I think they will win tonight, based on all that I've seen to this point. However, I've been a Lions fan since like 1984, so I take nothing for granted.

    2023 week 4 TNF vs the Lions pregame thread

    No offense taken. If we are only talking this year, then neither team has really proven they are capable of winning the division (though Chi and Min have proven they definitely will not). It's still a small sample size. That being said... According to PFF: Det - 2nd in Offense, 17th in...

    2023 week 4 TNF vs the Lions pregame thread

    He actually does pretty decent under pressure. When he came to the Lions, I had a similar opinion of him. I have (happily) been proven wrong. He was ranked something like 3rd last year for QBR under pressure. That being said, he's thrown a pick in the last 2 games they've played (the one against...

    2023 week 4 TNF vs the Lions pregame thread

    Genuinely curious about this statement. Lions have won the past 3 meetings between the two teams. Lions have arguably improved on both sides of the ball since the last meeting. Packers have replaced Aaron Rodgers with Jordan Love (for better or worse). I admit, I've not paid close enough...

    2022 week 18 pre-game thread: Rematch with the Lions

    Hell of a game, indeed. Hope it continues to be this competitive every year.

    We'll save you a seat at the bar. We can watch the Seahawks get throttled by SF.

    2022 week 18 pre-game thread: Rematch with the Lions

    Indeed. If anything, what can be gleaned from that analysis is that a fan bias could be "supported" by factual data, even if an officiating bias doesn't exist. Seems a few here got a bit defensive after I posted that, but genuinely I just found it interesting to read. No blaming or whining...

    2022 week 18 pre-game thread: Rematch with the Lions

    There was a study done a year or so ago that looked at all penalties since 2010 (https://time2play.com/blog/referee-bias-in-the-nfl/). There is certainly a factor of discipline that falls on the teams playing the games, but an interesting read nonetheless. Pertinent values (with other teams for...

    2022 week 18 pre-game thread: Rematch with the Lions

    2022 stats don't necessarily agree with your assessment. Not saying that the Lions are going to win, just that your assertion is inaccurate.

    Week 6 vs Detroit MNF: Time For Big Time Payback

    The thing is, the entire nation was looking, and everyone outside of some Packers fans, the refs and the NFL PR folks are saying that there was indeed nothing there. Look, I'm not saying the Packers cheated. I'm not trying to take away from the fact that they took advantage of their...
