They are harassing Eli much more than they did Carson...their pass rush looks pretty good as does their overall defense!! 6 sacks!!

Do they play Atlanta this year? That would be a cool game. Falcons look good. Everyone else has flaws.

Everyone laughed at me (not here per se, but in general) when I said the Lions were a good team and their defense looks better than it has been, well, in my lifetime really.

Barring Sam Bradford staying healthy and having some career year, I think the Lions win the NFC North and get a 1 or a 2 seed.

Yeah, I said it.

I said after last week they'll make the PO's and their D reminded me of Seattles from a few years ago - fast and hard hitting.
With GB's injuries, DET might even win the division.

I don't think Detroit is that good, I think it has more to do with the giants being way overrated.

doesnt matter. They wont do anything beyond that like Atl did last year. Defensive secondary still sucks. its only game 2

Giants make the playoffs every 2.7 years through their entire history. you cant over rate that. Thats superior in itself

Lions have been to playoffs 3 times in 6 years. Its not like no one knows they are decent..but thats the extent of it. They get a cute piece of playoff cake but nothing more

First matches doesnt give a really definition of a team, down the stretch u see the teams contending for something more
I see detroit being held out from the playofff

The Cards played bad in game 1 regardless of how good the Lions were/are. Then the Cards played bad in game 2. It makes little difference if Indy wins next week. The Cards need to fix the Cards not look for mitigating circumstances.

Well I don't disagree the Cards played poorly. But we are blasting our offensive line and they destroyed the Giants OL. Eli had no time and they couldn't run. Also they held Beckham and the other Wrs to like 5 total catches. They dominated the Giants in the road!!! If you look around...there are a lot of sky is falling in different cities. A lot of teams have major issues.

Lions look like a contender. How far they go in the playoffs is a different story.
