    No more freebies with Schwartz and Gunther down on that field either.
    So far so good this year.

    it was everybody's suprise team. :lol:

    i think the Bills and Panthers are bigger suprises. yeah, the panthers are 0-2, but did anybody think Newton would have 800+ passing yards after two weeks.

    Definitely didn't think Newton would be doing so well.
    Everyone in Detroit knows the Lions are good. We're just mostly afraid to say anything.
    They were last year too. :roll:
    In my 30 years I have seen nothing but losing, but I have hope that that's changing.

    keep stafford up right and i think you guys will be competitive all season.

    Vikings look aweful. Bears are going to be up and down all year. Packers should be tough.

    depending on how things shake...you guys could get a wild card :shock:

    The Pack is strong for sure.
    I'd like to see a healthy GB team play a healthy Lions team. May the best team win.

    Great memories of going with my dad to see Barry play, against GB, at the Silverdome.

    No shit!

    I pulled out the hard hat at work! Most everyone here knows I root for the Lions and (World Champion) Giants though, but there are always a few Raiders and Broncos fans around here that are as dumb as a post.

    WOOHOO!
    Lions end losing streak in Minnesota. Finally!
    Also 3-0 for the first time in 31 years...If the last of these summer shandys weren't in me right now I'd need a sedative. Was not the prettiest win by any means. Vikings looked like the Honolulu blue of old...Take the lead early and lose it late.
    Keep on rolling Detroit!

    I didn't know we had a Lions thread! GOOOOOOOOO LIONS!!!

    The only downside to the Lions playing well is that I won't be able to continue my yearly tradition of going to the Thanksgiving Day game. I tried to get tickets right when they went on sale, and they sold out too fast. I might still try StubHub, but I don't think tickets are going to be getting any cheaper if they keep playing well.
    Using up my Ovaltine... like Ovaltine.

    What a win!

    I might even take Thanksgiving off this year if the Lions keep rolling! I have had to work about the last 20 or so, and had to put up with loss after loss in the last 10 years!

    I might roll out the 12 year old Lions hat now too... Kinda smashed from being in the closet so long.

    i'd worry. lions can throw the ball...and if they keep winning that will be one hell of a crowd.

    the last couple years have sucked but have helped. stafford being hurt has allowed for some good draft position and the easiest schedule ever. green bay and san diego at home and saints and green bay on the road. 4 tough games late in the season. i'll take that.

    just seems like a perfect situation to make it to the playoffs.

    3-0 for the first time in my life..insane.
