That Lion defense is starting to look special. Dang. If Megatron comes back healthy, this team could be scary.

Golden Tate, unexpectedly to many, has become a solid #2WR and carrying the load of a #1 quite well while Johnson is out/hobbled.

I don't have a good reason for it, other than my homerism, but I could easily see Rodgers lighting the Lions up in the playoffs if they meet. Like Atlanta in 2010.

Their defense is tough, and has gotten after him, but he's dealt them some pain too. The only defense that has consistently been able to keep AR in check was Lovie's.

Problem is the next time we play them won't be the playoffs. Although I agree. Its hard to imagine losing to them in Lambeau somehow. The old Lions don't pull out the win they did vs New Orleans though. These guys are different.

You could have won serious money off me by betting Caldwell would be better for his team than Trestman this year.

The old Lions have started many seasons 5-2, 6-2, whatever before caving in the 2nd half of the season. I wouldn't give them any credit yet.

Shazier inactive for the Steelers tonight. Anyone know if he's hurt of just not dressing? I'd guess the former.

Jumal Rolle also not playing. Oh, and a 'clown' something or other guy as well, but that shouldn't matter, he hasn't played all season. Maybe he has a migraine.

That's the most messed up play I've seen in a while. A toss sweep reversal to a flanker, who throws a left handed pass for a TD.

This pink shit is pissing me off.

Early on it looked like we might have another blowout on a primetime game. It still looks that way only all of a sudden the Steelers are up 11. There's still 14 seconds in the half, just enough time to fumble the kickoff and allow one more TD.

Good Lord Jon Gruden is a dumbass. He just claimed that JJ Watt didn't get the big contract because of the sacks, tackles, batted passes, or otherwise on field results. No it was because he tries hard. No Jon, I'm pretty sure the results on the field are why he got the monster contract.
