The Vikings are coming on even with Jefferson. The Lions have a great record but have a thinning running back core. The Bears and Packers are stumbling over themselves.

You would think since 81, 91 & 93 it would be time for the Lions to win a division title ? If one of the weakest premier league teams can top the table of 20, you would think Detroit can out best 3 teams in its division once every 15 years on average. 30 seasons since last Division Title with 4 teams including Lions. It’s about time ! We’re talking 3 other teams.

Is that supposed to be trash talk?

If this was directed towards my post, it’s not trash talk but brutal honesty. The Lions should average a division title a quarter of the time but have 3 in the past 50 seasons. 1/17 seasons is horrible. It’s about time that the team I follow are not pulling what the Bears or Packers are doing this season.

Maybe after roughly 6 decades of the Fords owning the Lions, they finally figured out how to run a NFL Franchise, because the other 3 have been much more successful !

NFC North thread strangely quiet this week.

Where's Griddy?

The Michigan cheating scandal must have hit too close to home. Detroit had to lay low.

I'm not big on hitting people when they're down unless their toxicity/positivity index is too much in the negative.

Rememberthepast · 10-22-2023, 06:28 PM

If tomorrow goes as planned with the Vikings losing the Lions still have a 2.5 game lead in the division. In the end, control the division.

hairysasquatch · 10-22-2023, 09:18 PM

Well, today wasn't great for the Leos, but it's the NFL - everyone gets punched in the mouth every once in a while.

I am a bit worried about Grid. Hopefully he didn't like go to Detroit for a Coney Island hot dog and get caught up in some random violence.

Sorry, my wife is battling cancer, so I have been sidetracked since her last surgery. But I appreciate the wellness check!

With that said, only one NFC North winner over the weekend!

Let’s hope it stays that way tonight.

Grid · 10-23-2023, 08:32 AM

Bagent gave the coaching staff exactly what they hoped for. They didn't have to bench Fields, and ruin his trade stock, to see if TB17 was anything special.

Fields took himself out of the equation, TB17 looked clam and decisive, and the team moved the ball well all day. And that was with an offense that had training wheels on, to not overload the kid.

If Fields comes back, and still sucks, the fans will turn on him fast. Chicago loves nothing more than a back up QB with potential.

If Bagent proves to be the next Purdy. I cant wrap my head around the bounty to Bears will get for the Panthers pick in the next draft, for anyone that wants to deal with the Caleb Williams sideshow.

jplarson · 10-23-2023, 07:54 PM

Sounds legit.

Very sorry to hear that - my best to you and your wife - all BS aside, that's very tough to deal with.

codered · 10-23-2023, 11:01 PM

I’m not gonna lie, I didn’t think we would be sitting 3-4 after starting the year 0-3. Schedule definitely doesn’t look too bad over the next 7 weeks. GB, ATL, NO, DEN, CHI and LV. Honestly we could go 6-0 or 1-5 and I wouldn’t be surprised at this point! Regardless I’ll be stressing out week to week lol. Nothing new as a Vikings fan I guess lol. Always nice when we beat the niners as I have a lifetime bet going with one of my buddies that’s a niner fan. Skol!

packman80 · 10-24-2023, 05:30 AM

I will pick GB to lose the rest of the games this year. That way if they win I will be be pleasantly surprised instead of just disappointed in losing to another team they should beat.
