It turns out Matt Millen picked the Chargers to win. What a jerk!

Clearly he’s proven many times that he knows nothing about what it takes to play winning football. Why is he on television?

We can beat the Giants and we can beat Dallas – much easier than having to go back to New Orleans. I really want a chance to take on SF in the playoffs.

Go Lions!!!!

Upside for Detroit fans you guys make the playoffs. Downside, you still live in Detroit. Terrible trade off

Poor looser.
Pretty weak argument if the only thing you could complain about the Lions was the city?

It’s called an Ad Hominem attack, i.e. attacking the person (or the city) instead of the ideas (or the quality of football being played by the Lions). (Look it up in Wikepedia. Its a logical fallicy.)

The bottem line is Detroit crunched San Diego, and are back playing as they did in the first 5 weeks of the season. Great time to get hot.

The moving vans will soon be trucking up Interstate 5 North to LA, the original home of the Chargers.

the link below is a story of the rams probobly ending up back in LA.. and about a month 1/2 to 2 months ago here in LA it stated that the raiders informed LA they would be interested in playing in the new stadium as well. see the un informed people making the stupid comments of the chargers moving to LA IS that the spanos family doesnt want to sell a mojority stake in the team ,which is what AEG wants in return for any team moving to their stadium (rams-kroenke owns them and wants to sell rams and then buy broncos from bowlen,so he will own 3 denver teams along with the avalanche and nuggets)

Not so fast on Cowher to SD….remember he got his start with Marty S and may not be so keen to work with AJ Smith and vice versa.
If AJ goes though…it is a good situation for him.
Personally I think AJ is a bigger problem than Norv even though Norv is really an OC in HC clothing.

I picked Det to win this game. Tough place to play IMO even when Det wasn’t a winning team. Their fans have to be some of the best in the NFL support wise.

aj smith is gonna be fired too!! he has been linked to the rams and raiders gm positions

Finally being in the playoffs is kind of a badass feeling as a fan.

2) For the love of God, San Diego: leave Wade Phillips alone. My feeling is either Cowher or Fisher gets the Chargers job if Turner is canned. But they’ll interview Phillips if he wants it.

Honestly, though, I predict that if Wade Phillips gets a head coach job next year (please God no), it’ll be with the Rams. That just seems like a better fit than KC, Jacksonville, Miami, San Diego, Minnesota, Indy, or any other place that might be hiring.

Anyway: congratulations, Detroit fans.

2 offside penalties for a toal of 10 yards! GREAT Football Lions! That was the best 1st half I have ever seen the Lions play and I have been watching these guys for 50 years!

=====================================

You do realize that in those 50 years you have seen the Lions in the playoffs 9 times? To make it worse of those 9 games you won once. You haven’t won the division in twenty years.

I do admire your dedication. GL in the playoffs.

Despite Norv, there is a lot of talent on the Chargers, and the Lions demolished them. The NFC North is getting extremely competitive. The Vikes will face 3 of the top 6 or 7 qbs twice every year, and our backfield is a disaster. I hope our coaches understand that.

“their high-powered passing game may be particularly vulnerable if they’re playing a bad-weather game in January.” Ah, you doubters, the Lions have won in the most adverse conditions, coming from behind in 4 games. When will you believe?”

—————————————————————

What adverse conditions?
If the cowboys and Falcons make it in, only 1 of the 6 NFC playoff teams even play outdoors.

Sure, there is a slight chance that the Bears and Giants get in. But the Bears would be the 6th seed, and Detroit would open in either New Jersey or Arlington.
