it doesn't matter how good this Lions team is....the Packers always find a way to play like sh!t when they play each other!!

even when they went 0-16!!

so now that they are doing well, i'm sure they are gonna push the Packers to the limit.

either that or Rodgers is gonna carve them like the Thanksgiving turkey!!!

@ least we don't play them until after our bye....hopefully bulaga and clifton are back by then!!

Bears are 24-19-1 vs. the Vikings at home..... pretty much a toss up statistically

I agree.... that team is doomed by poor ownership/management.

How can you use the Bear's record (not to mention including the game they lost against the team you're making a case against!) coming in at 2-2 to say they are "Average" when you discredit the Lions as a "Real" team entering the game at 4-0 (and exiting at 5-0)

If the record for the Lions means nothing, then the record of the Bears coming into the game shouldn't either.


EDIT:

So now..... Two of the Bear's three losses are against teams that nobody else has managed to beat either, and the other was against a Saints' team that can score quickly through the air

Peytons fault.

According to Pro Football Focus, Donald Driver has played just 42.2 percent of the Packers offensive snaps since playing nearly 70 percent in the season opener.
That number has dropped to 36.4 over the past two weeks while James Jones has played in nearly 50 percent of the offensive snaps. Driver is clearly Green Bay's least effective receiver right now, and it seems the Packers coaching staff has already begun a changing of the guard. Now the No. 3 receiver, Jones is worthy of a roster spot in 12-team leagues coming off a 140-yard performance. Driver can be dropped even in deep leagues.

Green Bay likes to play with their opponents and give them a false sense of victory and then cut the cheese to get the win Benjamin nothing more.


.....I think I should add a red cape to my avy.

Yeah and I don't have any fantasy players on any of those 4 teams so I will most likely be done watching football for the weekend once we finish playing NE.

NFL Should Move Lions and 49ers to prime time least there would be interest in that game

Pretty sure it's too early in the season for flexing, besides NFC North fans will watch to see if Minnesota holds on for dear life or Chicago squashes what tiny hope they have left.

Yes but noone cares about Vikings and Bears right now NFL should be riding undefeated Lions just because ppl are interested. Someone said it earlier Thanksgiving if Lions and Packers remain undefeated my god the game is going to be off the chain.

I think the flex scheduling thing doesn't kick in until week 10 or so.

I don't see that game being close honestly. Rodgers is still much better than Stafford and the two supporting casts aren't close either, however if Rodgers' offensive line is still a MASH unit I could see that being a big factor.

Well I think GB is fine on the Line, Clifton is for sure out indefinitely. I think GB will win the match up as they are truly the better team, but it still makes for one hellva game on Thanksgiving.
