So proud. As a never die fan, I've suffered many many years, including the 0-16 season, and the 26 game road loosing streak, 19 game division loosing streak, etc.. I stood by their side through the good and bad, and god awful since I was 6, watching Barry on Sundays, falling in love with the game,


3-0, best start in over 30 years. First win at Minnesota since 1997.

Wearing my Ndamukong Suh jersey now. Hopefully Nick Fairley will make the lineup soon and produce.

Meh, they'll choke like they always do.

I wouldn't be so sure.  They were a better team than their record would indicate last year, and I'd have been more worried about the Packers meeting them in the postseason than the Bears.

This will be an interesting year in the Black and Blue.

They've never been good enough to have the opportunity to choke!

In all seriousness, well done to them. Granted they haven't played the best of teams, but they are definitely a good team. They say it starts in the trenches, and on both sides of the ball the lines have been playing quite well. Not too mention on offense you have a nice threat of Stafford and Megatron, as long as the earlier can keep that glass body protected.

great start for them and i'm glad for their fans to give them something to be hopeful for finally, but lets not over hype them again and jump to the conclusion that now they're a legit threat for contention in the NFC....Lets wait til they play the defending champs and see where that leaves us thinking....Stafford still has to ATTEMPT to make it through the entire season along with Best. But honestly all the luck to em cause that would be well over due if it can happen for em!!!

The last Packers loss (in the 2010 season) was to the Lions.  It was a close game, but they are legit, and were way better than their record indicated last year.  Think 2009 Packers (who had 6 losses with a combined point deficit of 20 points, IIRC).

Stafford still has to ATTEMPT to make it through the entire season along with Best. But honestly all the luck to em cause that would be well over due if it can happen for em!!!


As long as they don't take the Division, I would be happy to see them as a Wildcard in the playoffs.

I'm pulling for them, but they really aren't that good.  MIN exposed them quite a bit.  If MIN didn't continue to find new ways to choke in such an epic fashion this season, the game wouldn't have even been close.  Stafford is the real deal if he can stay healthy.  CJ is a constant, but the defense, O-line, and running game leave A LOT to be desired.  It pains me to say it cuz I absolutly hate Dallas, but I really don't think the Lions come out of there 4-0.

Very impressive start to the season for the Lions. Good luck the rest of the way.
