Dang, Fins lost to Lions and Packers in the last minute of the game.
Don't worry they will find a way to destroy their season.

It's not how you start. It's how you finish.
We just seen that premise recently when both MLB wild card teams (San Francisco and Kansas City) went to the World Series and nether team won 90 games in the regular season.
Lions are rolling right now. But their list of wounded warriors on that roster grows every week. Hopefully their bubble doesn't burst and their injury replacement depth carries them into early February.

I think they have the first one, but Brady will tear them apart...
Brady can not handle a pass rush in his face and the Lions have a front 4 whom rush the passer and Donkey Kong Suh.
A lot of the Patsies success on offense is due to their use of 2 Tight Ends and the opposing defense can not key in on the pass or the run because Brady will just read the defensive alignment use a audible that is already in the play and run the opposite of what the defense is expecting. Seattle reaffirmed if you have a dominate front 4 all the audibles in the playbook do no good when defensive linemen are in the backfield.
New England may win but it would be far from a blowout.

Yep this ^^. The team with the least amount of key injuries wins. Look at the Cowboys...if Romo's back flairs up they are toast.

Just heard Arizona Cardinals (Carson Palmer) just lost their starting QB for the season (ACL). Now we get to see how well they can finish after losing only one game so far.
As a Packer fan, you can imagine my expression right now.
Oh yeah, that's about right.
After last night's game at Soldier Field, the Packers should have no problem winning the division again this year. The Lions will make one of the wild card spots, so there may be a third game in Lambeau to decide the best team.
If for some reason it happens the other way around and the Packers have to go to Ford Field in January, even better. Rodgers on clean, dry, warm turf will be fun to watch.

Palmer only played 6 games this season with 11TD's and 271 yards a game average. It is not like the Cardinals are offensive driven team. Drew Stanton only needs not to turn the ball over for the Cardinals to win that is why the Cardinals are 3 and 1 with Stanton as QB. The only loss was to Denver when Peyton Manning started to play like a bull in china shop in the 4th quarter and the Cardinals were down to their 3 string QB that many scouts projected should become a T.E.(seriously) to play in the NFL.

Carson Palmer signed a three year 50 million dollar contract extension 4-5 days ago with 20 million dollars guaranteed. I wonder if he will get to keep that 20 million dollars, he probably didn't get it wired to his bank account yet when he tore that ACL for the second time.

I don't care how good Rodgers is .. he can't beat The Lions if they are "lucky".
The Bobby Layne curse may be just about done.

They have been snatching victory late in the game recently. Stafford is finally playing up to his full potential, and that brings the rest of the team up a few notches. Their defense has been top notch for a couple of years now.
It does hurt a little to know that former Badger Levy is the leader of the defense, though.
