If I've learned anything in 2014 it's that opinions on this board can never, ever, be wrong. Unless they're my opinions.

Well, we can all agree that going out of your way to attack someone every time they post is reprehensible. I have it on good authority.

Hypocrisy, on the other hand, is apparently fine.

The Lions sacked Bridgewater 8 times the last time they played. I hope they sack him 10 times and get 3 picks. That's not out of the question is it?

I listen to Detroit sports radio all day at work now (live nowhere near there, but discovered the magic of interweb radio finally) and it amazes me how often people say on there that we have literally a "zero percent chance of winning" at Lambeau in week seventeen, or "no chance at all" to win.

That just strikes me as a very ignorant, uninformed opinion.

Are these the same callers you called out as dense prior to the NE game after they said the Lions would get blown out?

Or a radio phone in caller -- oh wait -- their opinion isn't wrong, just very ignorant and uninformed.

That being said -- As much as I love the Lions. If it comes down to the final game, on the road at Lambeau, to decide the division. I wouldn't go as far as saying the Lions have zero chance, but it would be very, very...............very unlikely they could pull off a road win against arguably the best team in the NFL right now. I wish we could have played at Lambeau in the 1st game against GB, when their offense was out of sorts and it wouldn't be so darn cold.

I would say it is MikeD. Simple math says each team has a 50/50 chance at kickoff. Now when you start factoring in other shit, sure it may change.

Factor in that the Lions have done many things different from past years. I still say there is a 50% chance. I stopped doubting this years team a few weeks ago.

My reasoning has nothing to do with the fact the Lions haven't won at Lambeau since 1991 or whatever it is.

The Lions are just a different team on the road. They struggle to put points on the board and the weather at Lambeau will be the harshest they have played in all year. Most likely it will be below zero with the wind chill. Green Bay has a tremendous advantage at home, as they are accustomed to the weather so it is tough for anyone to come in there and play.

I'm hoping for the best, but expecting the worst when it comes to that game. In all honesty -- I'm hoping Buffalo can pull off an upset today. Buffalo has a tough d and get after the QB. They will have the crowd behind them and GB is vulnerable on the road.

If Buffalo upsets GB -- Does that make the last game meaningless and the Lions would gget the home playoff game?

They played it.

I was on 97.1 prior to Stafford being drafted, arguing w Vallenti and Foster who thought the Lions were drafting that LT from Baylor.

As a kid I requested Beat it once and they played it.

Me and my roommates had email battles on local radio in college. It was amazing the shit the local over night guy would read on air.

I still don't understand why MJ wanted people to show em Hot Mocky.
