Detroit isn't the NFC North's walk-over team anymore. It's a shame they fell short of making the playoffs. They'll definitely be in the hunt during the 2023 season though.

If they keep winning, where will I put my persecution complex?

But maybe being the one to wipe the smirk off face of Rogers isn't meaningless.

since Barry and Megatron and Stafford. They've lost ssome great players, but now maybe that ends.

As far as Rodgers, it's always a pleasure for me, a long-time pro football fan, to watch a great qb operate the offense of this team, no matter what team. And there are only a few great ones playing now and Rodgers is one, maybe on the downside of his career. He lost me though when he came out as a trumpster. I never want to see him now and I'm so glad the Lions beat him yesterday.

The Lions played a great game. They out-coached us, out played us, period. I was very cautiously optimistic before the game, but I wonder if the Packers (& some fans) were over-confident because of that (the Seattle win). The Lions played with heart, tenacity & pride, and this Packer fan was very happy for them. Their future is looking bright. To see the joy and elation in the Lions fans put a smile on my face. Well done Lions! A few pics from last night:

Seattle did not deserve to win that game and the Lions deserve to be in the playoffs.

I suppose Seattle fans think they are being all cute with their 'thank you Lions' but it's obnoxious. First you knock us out after a strong of biased officiating calls, then come all the thank yous. I mean, honestly. We don't want to hear it

but neither team controlled its own so yeah. At least Seattle is my other team so part of me is a little happy and I'll be cheering the Seahawks in the playoffs.
