The Lions and the Packers are the only two teams to have played each other every year since 1932.

"I can smell 12-0. That's as far as I can see," defensive end B.J. Raji said. "These games aren't going to get any easier. I'm going to enjoy this the next couple days, then we'll get on to New York."

"We take the football away and we take care of it," McCarthy said. "Everybody preaches it, everybody practices it, but we do as good or better than anybody in the league and that was evident today."

But first up, as tradition dictates, are the Detroit Lions. For once, that too is an appetising prospect. The long-running gag about Detroit's annual Thanksgiving involvement is that somebody has to play the turkey. Year-after-year the Lions would invite everybody to Ford Field only find out that it was they who would be taking a stuffing.

There is no guarantee that they will avoid such a fate this afternoon, but only because the opposition are the 10-0 Green Bay Packers. With Aaron Rodgers playing about as well as any quarterback in league history, it's a safe bet that at the very least one or two defensive backs will be getting roasted.

The Detroit Free Press graded the performance of the Lions against the Packers pretty harshly.

Well we had our own thanksgiving on sat - with watching the GB game and eating the whole gambit of yummies (the wife made) ...
even had a couple of packers fans to watch the game with here in london (a fellow cheese head and her husband a canadian).

was a cool game with lots of INTs (got to like that) ... and ya that suh is really out of control and they really need to fine him alot more or give him out a suspension.

I finally understand what Nonstopdrivel means about INTs. We're not supposed to rely on INTs. We're supposed to rely on defensive stops.

I get that.

However, here is a point I disagree. If you got a decent shot at an INT and you miss it and it goes for a big first down or more, do you take it? I say yes. INTs are not only drive killers but also morale boosters. I'd love to see the stats on this, but I'm willing to bet that there is a significantly higher percentage of scores per drive after an INT than after a punt.

Why? Better field position obviously. But the other reason is intangible - morale. I am a STRONG believer in morale. INTs get you pumped up. When you are an offensive player and you see the defense get off the field after an interception, you feel like you have a duty to make something of it. Watch the offense come onto a field after an interception vs after a punt. It's a different attitude.

Looks like sources from the NFL are saying at least a two game suspension for Suh and anger management courses.

Suh said this in an interview:
"Stomp E.D. Smith? I didn't stomp him! I thought i saw a bee on him, and was trying to step on it so it wouldn't sting him! And they also said i pushed his head into the turf.....that's not true either! I saw a little ant dragging a dead bug 5 times his size, and was amazed by the strength of that little creature! I told Smith about it, and he couldn't see it. So i was just trying to make sur he saw it! I was like...."SEE!? SEE!?!? SEE!?!?!?"

Hehe. I actually thought that was real for a second. Not any further-fetched than his post-game explanation.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

beast (22h) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating

Zero2Cool (20-Dec) : There is a rule that if your name starts with 'b' you lose 15 points. Hey, I don't make the rules, I just enforce them!

wpr (20-Dec) : and then there is Beast. Running away with it all.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Martha Careful (18-Dec) : if I were a professional athlete, I would probably look to see who the agent is for Kirk Cousins and then use him

beast (18-Dec) : $100 million fully guaranteed Kirk Cousins gets benched for rookie

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Packers are 6th in sacks.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : RB David Montgomery will undergo season-ending knee surgery.

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Dan Campbell on onside kick with 12 minutes left: In hindsight, wish I didn’t do that

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : They have that whole 12th man thing so ...

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Of the times we've played there, I just can't recall hearing our fans.

wpr (16-Dec) : Well done jdlax. Well done.

wpr (16-Dec) : I think more likely to be Pack fans that live in the area.

wpr (16-Dec) : Pack fans represent. I pointed it out early in the game to my wife. Announcers said Packers travel well.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : That was crazy to hear go pack go in Seattle of all plays. That 12 man thing an all

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : jdlax, good man!

jdlax (16-Dec) : Mucky, there were too many of us there to credit any single one but for sure i was 60% responsible.
