[QUOTE="cheesehurdler, post: 406460, member: 3981"] While I absolutely have no knowledge of what it's like to be a Lions fan, I can see why most Lions fans would love to see their team beat Green Bay. From 2000 to 2009, DET has a record of 3-17 (a winning percentage of just .150) against GB, including 1-4 on Thanksgiving games (The last time they won on Thanksgiving was in 2003, a 22-14 victory). The only feeling I have that only remotely resembles that was the times when GB couldn't beat DAL at all in the 90s (I think GB only one once, in Lambeau Field. All others have been losses, most of them playoff losses). Of course it would feel nice to "stick it" to the football team that had your number for a good deal of time, especially in primetime. What was your reaction to DET beating GB 7-3 in Ford Field? Were you hopeful that it would revitalize a (really underrated, I believe) rivalry between the two that has lasted since 1934? That's exactly what I'm afraid of. On paper, the Packers can beat the Lions in a shootout (like around 45-35 or 41-38), but then there's the intangibles like the following: [LIST] [*]It's taking place at Ford Field, one of the loudest stadiums in football. [*]The fans, filled with years-old hatred for GB, will cheer their lungs out. This will cause several false starts by GB. [*]There are playoff chances on the line. [*]It's a divisional game. Both GB and DET know each other. [*]They've just came off an emotional win against Carolina, while Green Bay served up a dud against the Bucs, even though they won. [*]This is Detroit's biggest game in decades. They're going to give Green Bay everything they've got. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
