Remember Iffy the Diffster from the sports section in the Free Press? I think that's the inspiration. I'm not Iffy.

Everything is going just as I thought it would. 12-4 is now a lock.

Minnesota should win the division by several games.

They're easily the best team.

Didn't we beat Minnesota?

The Lions have never lost at the vikings new home, US Bank Stadium. They've owned the vikings since it opened. The Lions are not that far off the pace right now. In a year when all other teams in their division are without a seasoned starting quarterback, you'd hope the Lions would be able to take the North. This is their time IF they get healthy.

I'd include start playing smart but I'm an optimist, not a complete idiot. I'll settle for healthy.

So I am unclear, was it a good idea to play an injured QB behind a terrible line?

We have as good of a shot this year as I can remember. GB is not much without ARodg really. And Minny, while better across the board is lucky when Bradford is healthy. Chicago doesn't have receiver that would play for the othervthree teams in the division, but they aren't out of it.

We're going to need wins in December for the magic to happen though.


How many times have we even played at the Butter Dome?

Twice, but don't let the small sample size dissuade you from the statistical probabilities that the Lions win when they play there. They OWN it, as far as history goes back on it. Heck, they were the first team the vikes lost to there, and have already taken the 'queens in their own place this year.

Roll with it....

Favre's streak ended, in a home game, at Ford Field.

The Lions playing well is hinged with Contract Extensions... The players played well last season to get Caldwell's contract extension. Stafford played well in 2011 for the 2012 contract extension and in 2016 for this years contract extension. And even helped Calvin (1964 yards) with his contract extension in 2012 with only a 4-12 win/loss record. Suh got the defense to step to sell himself on the open market. Ansah and Whitehead will most likely step up this year for a Contract extension next season. Another injury bug kool-aid for a losing season is on the horizon.

Captain Clutch Stafford was the Saints MVP player of the game, why take him out? The Lions and Packers are tied for last place in sacks allowed. The offensive line is in overpaid actors mode.
