I chose this picture of the Mall of America because the Lions will be so explosive, we'll collapse the roof AGAIN!
GO LIONS!!!

[garnotm]

Pretty much a must win game if we want to make the post season, we need to keep progressing as a team. The next four games I think are really key as far as what the lions are able to accomplish this year.

minny is a division rival and we need to start beating our division

GB is another division rival

Houston is a team that is considered to be one of the favorites to come out of the afc so beating them would be huge...especially on thanksgiving

Colts a young up and coming team that shows we can beat teams of similiar athletic levels.

Lions win by 13. Ponder looks confused and terrible throughout the game while we stack the box and we attempt to stop Peterson. AP will still get 150 yards and 2 TDs though.

Thought 94 tackles for Greenway was a typo, guess not lol

I think we'll win this one, though. Stafford comes out with another great game ~300 yards 3 TDs. Just need to slow down Peterson

your always looking for errors in my GT
jk! lol

[LionsFan..LOL]

I think we can win this: Vikings are hitting a slump and the Lions are getting hot. That said let's not redo last year's adventure in the Metrodome okay lol. Let's take control early and not let go.

The playoff roof will fall on someone after this game... Let's just hope it's not us

did you notice the picture selected for the mall of america?

[rocket]

I think it will be a close game. We win by a TD

Delmas and Levy better play. Probably most important game on the season.

[jlisec01]

why does ap have to be so good

3 Keys to Lions getting to 5-4 against the Vikes:

1. Run as much as we throw. The Vikings run defense is by far one of the worst. Teams have been going to town on them for weeks. Leshoure and Bell are looking like a formitable force. They both can pound you over and over again and by the second half the Vikes front seven will already be gassed. RUN RUN RUN!!!

2. Contain the Big 2. Percy Harvin and AP are the only threats on offense. Everyone else in the minds of the DC should be irrelevant. If we can stop AP it will force Christian Ponder to throw and most likely under a lot of pressure. His only viable target is Harvin who should get double covered everytime. Containing these two will be the only way we win this game.

3. SPECIAL TEAMS SPECIAL TEAMS SPECIAL TEAMS!!! The only reason we lost to the Vikes was that we gave up two special teams TDs. They cannot score on offense against us. Our defense is too good for their offense the way it is now. If we play even a little better than we did in this portion of the game we will win easy.

Final Score: Lions win 35-10
Stafford- 20/24 252 yards 1TD
Leshoure- 20 carries 120 yards 2TD
Bell- 16 carries 73 yards 1TD
CJ- 6 rec 106 yards 1TD
Pettigrew- 4 rec 26 yards
Young- 4 rec 55 yards
Broyles- 6 rec 65 yards
Suh- 4 tackles 3TFL 2 sacks
Avril- 6 tackles 1 sack
Tulloch- 12 Tackles 1FF 1TFL
Houston: 3 tackles 3PD
Silva: 4 Tackles (total) 1 INT 1 TD

Pretty simple stop AP and there is no way the Lions lose this game. Way too talented in my eyes to lose to this Vikings team.
