You are really going to open your mouth and say that after they beat a team with a washed up QB and that won 5 games or so last year?
I agree Detroit is really good, and playing really well, and might make a run at the playoffs, but how about waiting to say something when they get a quality win, maybe a win over GB, division rival and defending SB champs, who are also 3-0.
They gonna run the table

I sure didn't see a star studded performance today. I saw a lot of mistakes that would have killed them against a reasonable team. Fortunately for them, Vikings shot themselves in the foot several times.

Did you see that catch Calvin Johnson caught in ot? Megatron the best receiver in the league...and you guys saying lions ain't for real come on now....
I didn't say they are not legit this year, I said before the season even started, they were the team to look out for this year. You proclaiming them the best in the league, running the table etc, is very premature. The 3 teams they have beaten so far this year have a cumulative record of 2-7, and 2 of those 3 teams you can make an argument for being worst teams in the league. When Stafford makes it through the season avoiding injury, and they get some wins over LEGITIMATE playoff caliber teams, then you can brag all you want. Until then, its a lot of empty words.Quote:

This is definitely going to be our best year on a very long time.
Even if they took 2 of those 4, I would be happy as a Lions fan and encouraged. If Stafford can stay healthy, they have a legit shot at the playoffs this year, as a wild card. I don't see them beating the Packers for the division title.Quote:

I will be happy and encouraged either way this season, but won't be bragging about being the best team in the NFL unless we've beaten the best teams out there.Quote:

I was rooting for the Lions even though it would have been better for the Packers if they had lost. But thats only because I hate the Vikings and Detroit needs something to look forward too. You have to find a silver lining when everyday you work to make more money but your property value drops and you actually have less money than the day before.
This isn't about "haters". This is about being realistic.
The only thing you've said so far that really makes any sense was about Johnson.
Wait until they play the Packers twice, Chicago twice, and New Orleans. If they can come out of that mess 3-2, then you'll have something.
I know a guy who goes to vegas and puts 1g on the lions to win the superbowl every year! lol the odds are rediculous! f he wins hell be rich!
Well they do have the best lineman the league has ever seen.
from 0-16 to 16-0!
Nick Fairly has not even played one down yet :DQuote:

I've been waiting for detroit to win a few games for a while now. Lord knows they need it. I don't think they're anywhere near being the best in the nfl but I see them doing well this year. I'd say there's an outside chance they can also win that division and go to the playoffs.
While I dont think they can win the division unless the packers key players start getting hurt anything can happenQuote:

Every weekend now everyone keeps saying dont get excited they only beat so and so....well damn a win is a win! Im not even a lions fan but im rootin for them just so everyone will respect them. If you win games you win games nd right now based on their record, they are the best team in the nfl!
I would say the Packers are the team most consider the best team in the league right now, and they are unbeaten as well.Quote:

Until someone beats them, or Aaron Rodgers has a season ending injury they are the team to beat. I would just enjoy the fact that Detroit is winning and probably playoff bound for the first time since they had Barry Sanders. They are playing great right now, but they have not done anything to warrant them being crowned the best team in the NFL, yet. That title gets bestowed on someone in February, and not prior to that.Quote:

Anything is possible in professional sports.
With really good skill players and a stout defensive line to stop the run and pressure the QB, anything is possible. Its difficult to transition from worst team in the league to best team in the league in a 2 year time period though. Stafford has to stay healthy for the entire year, which is something that has not happened yet. They also could not afford to lose Megatron either. Green Bay won the SB last year as the #6 seed. Winning the championship has a lot to do with timing and who is playing their best at the end of the year.Quote:

Then they go to the SB and lose to what I would call a lesser team in the Giants. In 09 the Saints lost their last 3 regular season games to teams like tampa and then killed it once they hit the playoffs. Last year they lose to frigin Seattle in the wild card round which was a terrible team.Quote:

I hope they beat er' bodies ass until they meet up with my team early december.Quote:

i agree
Well they didn't look to pretty on Monday night. But All that really matters is the WIN!! 5 and 0 BABY!!
The Lions were a decent team last year (2010) with all those close losses that could have been close wins. This year they are winning. We'll have to see how they play the Niners this week.
5 and 1.... guess the arent better than SF last sundayQuote:

Ugh, Sean Hill.
I like Drew Stanton better, he'll actually move out of the pocket, with some speed.
I catch alot of shit from alot of local people for Stafford bashing, I'm getting sick of inconsistency. I've never jumped on that band wagon. It's sad too, I really wanted a #9 Lions Jersey for my collection.
I am wondering if Murder wants to continue with the best team in the NFL motto for now...........

Enough said! The best last year and the best this year! Rodgers is a BEAST!!
PS: Not an impressive win today to say the least but its a win.
you ready for Sunday night? Saints in back to back prime time home games. I'm loving that. Hoping they play like they did Monday. Megatron is the shit though and is gonna have some serious yardage....just a matter if Detroit can outscore us. If Drew and Crew is on that'll be tough to do....they can put up 40 in no time.

Lions are 2-4 since that 5-0 start. They are going to be without Suh next few games as well. Real possibility they don't even make the playoffs now.
That Suh thing really hurt them. They also have a fairly tough schedule coming up. Last 3 games are Oak, SD, and GB. Giants are pretty much out of it now....their schedule really sucks. They have to sweep the cowboys to even have a chance and I don't see that happening. It's going to boil down to Detroit and Chicago.......Chicago has KC, Denver, Seattle, and Minn. coming up. Schedule is in their favor right now. Atlanta should have no problem locking up a wildcard at minimum and possibly the division depending on which saints team shows up the rest of the year. I think the NFC south is going to get one of those wildcards either way though.Quote:

I think once Hanie gets some field time the bears won't miss Cutler.....I don't even factor Cutler into the equation. He's a terrible terrible pussy of a QB. :lol:
I seem to also remember you saying last year you weren't impressed with Aaron Rodgers................... :lmao:Quote:

When he's on, he's on... but when he's off......... he might as well be thumbing his butthole. Terrible. I too am partial to Drew Stanton. (mostly because I'm a Spartan fan too :p) But Shaun Hill is a has been, and Stafford is way to inconsistant to count on. At least Stanton won every game he started in last season.
We are definitely not the best team in the NFL... not even close. I do love the fact that we have players and coaches that play with their emotions on their sleaves too. Suh doing the Stanky-leg to GB linesmen.... just sayin. We are a great team if we can stay poised and consistant. We will see what next year brings, but this year is still a rebuild. I'm not expecting much.
Calvin is arguably the best reciever in the NFL too.
Such a hater, Rodgers is the best QB in the league this season hands down.Quote:

And the masses feel the same way... was it wrong to do, yes. But the game wasn't going good, and he was pissed off. Plus no one really knows what that lineman did to him to get him that pissed off anyway. All I'm saying is after all this team has been through, it is nice to see that the players do care enough to throw temper tantrums on the field. :lmao:
You're a GB fan... obviously.... you have your rich heritage, superbowl trophies, and winning seasons to fall back on. I'm a Detroit fan.... we have nothing!!! You can only use the Barry Sanders defense so many times. So it's nice to see a shot of life back into the team, even if it's a negative.
So you resort to falling back on a dirty play to show that your team plays with emotion?Quote:

No doubt he plays well.Quote:

I hear what you're saying. I for one like watching a bad ass defensive lineman stomp the shit out of someone from time to time. It's football....it's a violent sport. Suh will be one of the great ones at some point.....he's just young and still learning the ropes. He'll get this put behind him and learn from it I'm sure. I actually don't see him changing the way he plays so he'll most likely be in trouble again at some point. He plays the position the way it was meant to be played.....pissed off. The sport has changed a lot over the years and has been reduced to almost sissy type play.....Suh brings it when he plays.Quote:
Originally Posted by konigandy6

It's almost pethetic to watch anymore with these stupid pussy penelties. You aren't even allowed to hit anyone. The Det / GB game, Lee for GB got ejected for spirited block shedding. You can't hit QB's and you can't even hit recievers anymore. It's kind of a joke. Jerry Rice, the greatest reciever of all time, did as great as he did with DB's trying to kill him every time he touched the ball. I understand they're trying to protect the players, but as you said... it's a violent sport, if you can't hack it, you don't belong.

And you know the refs are calling everything that even looks like leading with the helmet or is a very slightly late hit because they want to make it clear to the players that this is not acceptable.
Now the difference between playing hard, hitting hard, trying to make a play and what Suh did was that the play was OVER. He wasn't trying to take someone down who had the ball or block anyone, the whistle blew long before he finished shoving his head into the ground and even longer before he stomped him. It was a stupid move on his part and no positives came from it for his team. As stated before he is young and will most likely learn to control his emotions so that he can use them to make plays and not to lose games.
I still say Michael Jordan should get the MVP.....

So our running game has gone to shit.Quote:

Watching how Williams does D's is amazing.....the Saints D doesn't suck because of him I can promise you that. They actually play well above their talent level and that's all because of Williams' and his schemes. Example.....they played a base 3-4 Monday.....I don't think they've done that all year.
He's busy posting poll threads.
Our O line is not that great, they have had injuries and have missed many blocks. Luckly Rodgers is the best QB throwing on the run, out of the pocket and he is pretty good at running the ball as well. Rodgers also gets the ball out of his hand very quickly on many plays, rarely during a game does he have all day to sit there and throw the ball.Quote:
