Anyone watching Lions and Saints?

I'm not a huge NFL fan but is Matt Stafford not a fat bastard, even for a QB?
 
I am so sick of the Saints and the Packers.

I'm pulling now for the Ravens (or anyone else for that matter) to pull off an upset.
 
Yeah playoffs is a different story man,

Detroit is a great team but not ready for teams like the Saints..

I saw at least 2 or 3 interceptions dropped by the Lions, 1 of them which could've been taken back for a TD.

Winning teams make those plays.

They're still young and need some guys for the secondary, they will factor in to the Playoffs for the foreseeable future. They had a nice stepping-stone season.
 
Week 1 was a long time ago. The Saints are playing perfect right now where as the Packers have played poor as of late.

Last time I checked they pretty much balled out with their B squad the last game of the regular season. They had a couple not so great games coming down the stretch but they where also really banged up. Should be getting some of the critical guys back for that game. 15-1 in the regular season, yeah they must suck.

Week 12 pretty handily beat the Lions.
Week 13 win a close one vs the Giants.
Week 14 blow out the Raiders (that game was over before half)
Week 15 Rodgers didn't have a good game, but the receivers couldn't seem to catch a ball either, and they lose to KC.
Week 16 pretty handily beat the handicapped Bears (because they still suck).
Week 17 the Packers B team takes care of the Lions, and our backup QB throws 6 TD's.

Yeah, that was a poor stretch all right. Outscoring opponents 210 - 142. Saints where a little better down the stretch outscoring opponents 234 - 111.

One thing is for sure, that game is going to be a barn burner. They are basically the same team. Because of Green Bays ability to cause turn overs (+24 in the regular season), and they'd be at home, I'd take them. Going to be a great game either way.
