It's super unlikely I know. But what if the Lions stumble enough that the Packers win the division? Imagine how disparaged Bears, Lions and Vikings fan will be lol. They finally think their time is NOW and then we get division with youngest team AND first year starting QB lol

It's not out of the question thanks to Detroit losing to the Bears (who are playing better). Lions still have a stretch of Denver, Minnesota X2 and Dallas. That could very easily be 2 or 3 losses. GBs schedule is easiest on paper but I don't think they'll win out, probably drop a game that on paper they have a good chance of winning (Tampa would be my guess). Minnesota might have the "best" path on paper with 3 division games remaining but their offense is a complete mess at the moment thanks to injuries and their oline.

That said, I'd be lying if I haven't been thinking of GB swooping in at the last minute to steal the divison on what what supposed to be a down year and driving the other teams fans into a frenzy. It would be even worse for Detroit since it was probably the best year for them to do so and was supposed to be a break from their years of being in the cellar.

I think Lions, Vikings and Packers fans are all thinking about the division could be there right now lol

If Lions win 4 of their last 5, then they win the division.

If Vikings win all 5 of their last games, they win their division (as they play the Lions twice)

If Packers win all 6 of their last games (because they still have to play the Giants tonight) and Lions lose two, then they win the division.

Before the Giants game is played, on paper, Packers (after Eagles) have the 2nd easiest schedule left. While Vikings have the 2nd hardest schedule left. Lions 5th hardest left.

But if the Cowboys beat the Lions and the Vikings and Lions split their games, then an undefeated Packers down the stretch could take it.

All that being said, I wouldn't be surprised if Lions win 4 of their last 5 and/or Packers trip up somewhere (not Giants or Panthers).

What I've sorta been hoping for
7th seed Vikings lost to 2nd seed.

6th seed Packers go to 3rd seed NFC North Champions Lions and upset them.

So Lions get the Crown (their fans deserve something) but also get beaten showing the division still goes through the Packers.

Of course, I don't see any of these teams beating the 49ers right now.

I still remember the "you get to see how it feels now having a franchise QB now!" kinda comments.

I guess I just kinda laugh a bit. They think the three decade run is over and it might actually just keep going. It has to be demoralizing to them. And yeah, I take joy in that and yeah I know that means I'm cruel. 🤷 I'm good with it lol.

Sure is good to be a Green Bay Packers fan!!

I kid I kid!

Though it should be noted that Adrian Peterson only played on the Lions for a year, not a decade.

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

Zero2Cool (21-Dec) : I'm not beating anyone. I stinks.

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (21-Dec) : 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.
