Last year the Lions were 1-6 heading into week 9. They went 8-2 the rest of the way. Which team, with a horrible record right now, do you think will finish the season off strong and be a spoiler along the way?

Last year the Dolphins were 8-3 heading into week 13 and then finished off with 5 straight losses, almost missing the playoffs. Which team, with a great record right now, do you think will end the year with a bad streak of losses?

My fear is that my Lions are about to come up against a bunch of bad losses. 5 divisional games (which always can go either way) two of which are against the Vikings who are putting together a streak and getting healthy plus 2 more against the Bears who have a mobile QB that seem to give the Lions D fits. Plus the Cowboys! Maybe its the 30 year Detroit fan in me expecting the worst, but I fear them even losing the division. Its set up too perfectly for us Lions fans to have the proverbial "ball pulled out by Lucy" in week 16-18.

The Vikings, and I’m not sure which one.

I have a feeling Dobbs is going to play very well all the way up to the Divisional Round or NFC Championship, and then break our hearts by turning back into a pumpkin when it matters most.

nah, all in after Mr. Dobbs did a legitimate arms crossed tough guy flex, held just long enough to sell it before back to cheesin'

Favre and Keenum could never

Were used to that being the story tho

Although I feel like this may be the closest we’ll be for keeping that championship standard. We don’t have too many players in a contract year for the next season or two, and unless Flores gets the fit he’s looking for, I imagine he sticks around for a bit.

Well I did have a dream last night that they won on a go ahead rushing touchdown with Mattison.
