the Lions look good. Obviously the Packers are without Rodgers but still, they aren't doing bad. You take away the turnover issues the Lions could be 9-2, at least, this year. If they get their act together they could actually go deep into the playoffs.

The way that Suh tossed those two Packer OL aside like sacks of potatoes was impressive.  He is not a very likable guy, but the Lions need to keep him.  He is one of the best DT in the game and any other team would gladly take him.

Watching the NFL makes me sad that the NCAA is a no-fun zone. Watching player touchdown dances and celebrations is great. Both teams would've racked up 100 yards in unsportsmanlike conduct penalties already if this was a college game

Dude, you just witnessed arguably the most dominant performance by the Lions in the modern era.  The only one that comes close in my mind was that 33-3 or whatever drubbing of the Cowboys in the '93 playoffs.  With 4 turn overs and mistakes our offense still outscored their offense 38-3, outgained them by 440 yards, doubled their time of possession, and had 4x more first downs.  And it was over an arch-rival.

And yet every post of yours in this thread was to bitch.  This is the time to look in the mirror and realize perhaps the prism you're viewing life through is all stained with your own vomit, and that it's time for a very long break.

 Your constant hysterical bitching about Borges is not only tiresome, but far worse then anything I have written. Oh and I have decades of Lion futlity to justify my complaints. One cannot say the same about Michigan. The Lions would kill for Michigan's mediocrity. 

The Lions lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers five days ago. Just last year they lost 8 games in a row to close the reason. The Lions  deserve the harsh cynicism that you have employed against Michigan. Four turnovers is normally not winning football.(The Lions are 2-7 in such games in the Schwartz and Stafford era) nor is missing 30 yard field goals. That we just saw them do these same damn things versus the Bucs made it all the more infuriating.

I think you need to open your purse, push aside the Xanax, grab your compact, open it, dust off the cocaine, and take a look at yourself.   Maybe then you'll realize that you need to go to rehab for being an enormous douchebag whose posts regularly get negged because you write like a drunken baboon just back from a  week long bender on Fantasy Island.

Well that escalated quickly.

Hey....I'm 54 and one my oldest memories of my father is him turning off the Lions games exactly ONE play into the game when they'd run it straight into the line.  I've seen exactly one playoff win (thank you 1991) and the following:

An epic 5-0 playoff shutout in 1970 against Dallas

I was at the only game where an NFL player died on the field (RIP Chuck Hughes)

I was at the Thanksgiving day game against the Bears in 80 when we gave up a 17-3 lead with under 4 minutes to go and lost the shortest OT game in NFL history.

I was at the 1981 season finale against Tampa Bay game where the Lions, who had been previously undefeated at home, lost to Tampa Bay to keep them out of the playoffs.

I watched Billy Sims sign with the USFL, get resigned by the LIons, and then promptly blow his knee out upon his triumphant return

I've seen the Daryl Rogers era firsthand as well as countless other increadibly inept Lions coaches

I was there when Waynes Fontes blew a 38-14 lead at home to the Redskins by going three and out on five successsive possessions, never once handing the ball to this guy named Barry Sanders cause we were a "run and shoot" team.

I watched in 95 when a red hot Lions team, that won their last 7 games of the season, promptly fell behind 28-0 at Philladelphia in the first quarter of the first round of the playoffs.

I watched a non expansion team go winless in the NFL

I watched an NFL pick a wide out first in three successive drafts

I've seen more bad drafts than human being should be forced to endure

And Ive seen more defeats snatched out of the jaws of victory than sports should allow

And I've followed the last original NFL team to never make, much less win, a Super Bowl.

So I get why Salvadore is negative and angry....I truly do.  If you're over 40 (and a man as Mike Gundy would say) it's really hard to think any other way.

I know you can't compare nfl to college, but it was great seeing Bell fight and fight and keep churning his legs to pick up a few more yards. Has been absent from our running backs this year. Too much down on contact. Mike Hart is rolling over in his grave,

Even with 4 turnovers, I believe this was the most.impressive win I've ever seem from the Lions in my life. Everything was clicking and I agree with the announcers that Rodgers may have not made that big of a difference with the way the dline owned the packers oline.

I was at a family event but able to watch the game - that was a huge victory. Stafford went 22-35 for 330 yards with 3 passing TDs. Nice contirbutions from Bush and Bell on the ground as well. This hasn't happened since I was 25 years old, a Lions Thanksgiving victory - it made today just that much nicer.

Wow, was thinking after the turnover TD that the Lions are cursed and GB would beat them with a 3rd strong QB. I'm glad they came back to blow out the packs! I loved how they just totally dominated GB. I kind of wish Rodgers was playing. GB fans will whine and say, if only Rodgers was playing we would have won. Blah!  Keep those packers out of the playoffs!

Most dominant win by the Lions in 2 decades.  This is one every Lions fan should savor and watch at least two more times on the DVR, especially in advance of Saturday for Wolverine/Lion fans.
