How many games have we seen this season where the Detroit Lions have been down a certain number of points, hitting the locker room at halftime, and coming back from behind? Too many to count! This years version of the Detroit Lions are one of the better Lions teams we’ve seen a some time, which is in large part due to their ability to come back from large deficits.
The Lions are showing that they can have their face in the fire and still find the power to pull through and get the win. I know a lot of people were thinking that the Lions were going to be a six win team this season, however I believe otherwise. I still think an 8-8 if not better season is still at hand.
A cousin of mine was telling me how he knew the Lions weren’t going to beat the Bears last week, which was right even though I was still skeptical. This Thursday I believe the will administer a shocking victory on Turkey Day, to the so-far undefeated Green Bay Packers. Of course I didn’t tell my cousin that because he would tear my throat out.
What should I think? I would love to see my Lions beat an undefeated Packers, who I am also a fan of, and sack Aaron Rodgers every other play. Is that realistic? The second part probably isn’t but it isn’t unrealistic to think this Lions team can pull off an upset on Thanksgiving.
When they beat Aaron Rodger’s and his discount double-check touchdown dance, all I’ll have to say is I told you so. I think our second half offense can pull it off!
