Sorry that the Packers didn't go undefeated Ellen but at least, you mentioned all of the above. They seem and sound like a classy team!

could the answer be playoffs? I am so excited! That is the first game this season where detroit has looked like a playoff caliber team. I love megatron!!!

The Lions made the playoffs! The Lions made the playoffs! Holy cr*p, the Lions made the playoffs!!

Good luck today Ellen! Doesn't look like the weather is going to favour our passing game so hopefully we find some sort of running game today

And to you as well!
Unfortunately, Fox isn't airing the Detroit-Green Bay game here, but I'll be checking in on the ESPN Scoreboard site.

GO PACK GO Packers 2nd string beat the Lions (sorry Lions fans) Great game for Flinn.

Not that there was any doubt, but it's great to know that our bench can outplay the starters of any given average-ish team (that is to say, not only the starters of a crappy team like this season's Colts)! Go Pack!

Congrats, Packers! That was an interesting game, to say the least. Not sure there was much defense on either side! Stinks though, because now the Lions will face the Saints in the first round of the playoffs. Oh well, at least we made it there! And I guess anything is possible - but with the way Brees is playing, I'm not holding out a ton of hope. I will settle for being happy that we turned around from 0-16 to make the playoffs in 3 years! Nice job, Jim Schwarz and Lions!

Wildcard Weekend! One of my favourite times of the year.

Go Lions!

Years and years ago I attended a playoff game at Candlestick where the Niners eaked out a win over a missed Lion field goal. My friend and I were seated right behind some Lion supporters and, as it turned out, the brother of the kicker. When his brother missed that last field goal, we didn't know whether to cheer or commiserate with him as he was devastated.

Best of luck to them today.

December 31st, 1983 (I looked it up ). That was Eddie Murray. I wasn't a fan yet but I can only imagine how the Lions fans must have felt, losing by one. In all fairness, the QB threw a couple of picks for touchdowns so it wasn't Eddie's fault though I imagine he felt like it was. 4 hours to go!
