1991 was the last time the Lion’s went into the state of Wisconsin an came out with a win, is this the year that the Lion’s break the 20 year streak?

I am going to stay No, and here is why. The Lion’s struggle in Green Bay I don’t know what it is but that stadium is just bad news for the Lion’s. Last year the Lion’s lost by 2 as they were unable to hold the Packer’s from getting a first down in the final moments of the fourth quarter and walked away with a heartbreaking loss to the Cheeseheads. In 2005 the Lion’s lost 16-13 in OT on a Ryan Longwell’s field goal a game in which the Lion’s led a13-0 at one time. Even when they are picked to beat the Packer’s they find a way to lose, why should this year be an different?

I would love the Lion’s to beat the Packer’s in Green Bay but I don’t see it even if the Pack rests half their team. The Packer’s get up to play the Lion’s and the Lion’s trip over their own feet once again and lose once more to Green Bay. Until Aaron Rodgers retires I don’t the Lion’s will be winning in Wisconsin for another 10 years.

Green Bay 28  Detroit 24

Last week was the Lion’s won in comeback fashion one of the most amazing games in recent Lion’s history. Down 27-14 with less than 5 minutes left Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson mounted one of the greatest comebacks in Lion’s history, yes I will say history because frankly this team hasn’t had breaks like this. . . ever. Calvin Johnson went over 200 yard receiving and would  haul in the game winning touchdown with 39 seconds left giving the Lion’s the 28-27 victory.

This game was huge in so many ways but most importantly it put them only one victory away from earning their first playoff appearance since 1999. To bad the Lion’s have to earn that win against the San Diego Chargers who have once again been the King’s of December and winners of 3 straight including an impressive 20 point win over Baltimore last Sunday night. This team is peaking at just the right time and now the poor Lion’s have to deal with offensive machine that is San Diego.

As much as I would love to see the Lion’s win this game and earn a spot in the playoff s for the first time  in over a decade I just don’t see it happening this week against the Charger’s. Phillip River’s is just that good and with a very good running game and stingy defense I think this team comes into Motown and puts a pretty good beating on this team. This is a team that you can’t start out slow against and unfortunately for the Lion’s this has been the MO all year.  I hate to pick against the Lion’s but I just don’t see a Christmas Eve win in their future.
