The Lions are for real.

Swarm is doing the polar bear plunge in the kook-aid.

They took away the run completely and made the plays when needed against Brees.

Brees got his stats Stafford style of the past. He had 197 with 7:00 left.

Not being behind in the fourth quarter felt strange.

Cleveland is probably thinking the same thing.

I finally have some faith in this defense again!

I'm torn on keeping the lucky banner or upgrading in time for the playoffs.

It wasn't very lucky for Fairley and Suh.

Not this week, no. But seriously, I'm afraid to take it down now.

Go with what got you there?

If I remember correctly, you said you weren't going to change it until the Lions made it to the playoffs (and you didn't think that was going to be for several years). Leave it be - the team needs to earn it.

I'm afraid to change it at all until the season ends. We'll see how it goes.

Wait till they clinch a playoff spot. You can put something up with Megatron and Barry on 1 side and Stafford and Slay on the other.

Or maybe just all the different Caldwell emotion pics, LOL.

That was the best performance by a Lions team I've seen in many, many years. It was like a legit, competent pro football team put on Lions uniforms and went out and played. It was exciting to watch.

The defense was outstanding in its coverages and tackling.

The offense...Cooter takes some heat on here, but he won't from me. That the Detroit Lions actually lead the league in Time of Possession is astounding - something I never thought I'd see. That's the kind of stuff Parcells and Belichick teams do, not the Lions. Good teams would always control the ball, grind the clock, and wear our defense down. We've never been a ball control team. The turn-around in TOP from the moment Cooter became OC has been remarkable.

Although I agree with all of this its not the be all end all. I would prefer we actually scored more TDs before Prater's leg falls off. We have only scored more than 24 pts 3 times. Defense and ST has bailed our asses out several times this year.

Let me see how well they fare at Dallas before jumping the gun.

If they are competitive or win, I might sip the kool-aid.

Otherwise, still too Lionized from the last 25 years of mental, mind fucking.
