I know, I know: the debacle in Minny ended just a few hours ago, and there's already a thread about next week's game? But, someone is going to start this thread, and as the only avowed Lions fan (to my knowledge) on this board, I would therefore like the honor of starting it.
Two weeks ago I was wondering how the Lions would blow this game. Figured it would be a typical late season choke job on their part. I've seen it too many times to ignore. But, after what I witnessed today on television, and what I witnessed at the Bears' game last week in person, I can't see the Lions losing next week. Maybe the following week, but not next week.
The Bengals have quit. Merv is lying about leaving, it sounds like the players and FO were somewhat blind-sided about the whole thing, and there will be no home field advantage whatsoever from a half-absent, apathetic PBS crowd. Stafford will have a field day, and the Lions romp.
Lions 37
Bengals 9
