Good game last night. I think there's a very real possibility that the NFC North could produce three playoff teams: Packers, Lions, and Bears ... I'm not sure when the last time this happened, but I'd have to assume it's fairly rare.

That was an intense game last night, yeah. I think the Eagles have an explosive offense to rally for a real playoff run so I'm not discounting them yet.

I think the Bears still have huge issues and inconsistencies. I really don't see the Bears going to the playoffs...but I guess we can see how the Bears vs Lions game plays out.

Speaking of...I think the NFC Wildcard race is pretty hot. I honestly think if the Bears lose next week they will be done. If the Lions lose then we can talk about a 3-team NFC North Wildcard race, but I still am skeptical.

Concerns with the Bears: O-line, coaching and play calls, wide receivers dropping passes, Cutler's health, Matt Forte's contract, Defensive health (without Peppers our defense really goes south fast).

Big concern: for the second year in a row, the Bears are rallying and bring a bunch of hype with them. We need to see organizational changes, and this is not you how make that happen.

Congrats, Green Bay. You are no longer my least favorite division rival.

The Lions played some dirty fucking football. Absolutely uncalled for late hits, unsportsmanlike, dirty football.

I look forward to Detroit being mopped up during their next 5 games. Green Bay, I hope you put Detroit on its back.

Detroit = new most hated rival.

Edit: Oh. And I called it. Detroit is overrated (and the Bills) and had the fortune of an NFL lockout and no practice and a fairly easy-going opening schedule. They are a dirty team with a dirty fucking coach and they can't handle their momentum and energy. Megatron is your one dimensional out. Enjoy the long stretch of good teams + Green Bay + Minnesota.

Double Edit: Seriously! I can't believe how cocky the Lions (and their fans) are when they win. But when they lose? Fucking hand shake fiasco. They suddenly start playing dirty football. I mean even Stafford is taking cheap shots...I can't believe they ejected DJ Moore after that shit. Fuck you Stafford. If you want to dish out the cocky attitude when you win games, you better harden the fuck up when you lose games. Seriously, STFU and harden the fuck up.

What?! The Bears are my favorite divisional rivalry.

The Lions do seem to have turned into a dirty team, which is a bit odd, because I always used to view them as gentle and pushovers. Schwartz comes off as a tool as well.

Also, that's great the Lions have Megatron. I'm glad we have Optimus Prime (Aaron Rodgers).

What I meant to say was, I hate your team the most, so our rivalry was always my favorite.

Now I have new found dislike for Detroit.

I feel like the Packers-Bears rivalry has become very gentlemanly. Like let's get our monocles, wine, and cigars good chap.

I actually never hated the Pack...but I always wanted to beat them the most. Having 10 years of Favre kicking your ass will do that to you. By year 7 or 8 of Favre beating us to a pulp...you just want to beat the Packers.

Now I just want to see the Lions get beat. Schwartz is an ass and a tool. I look forward to the next time the Bears and Lions meet, and same goes for the Packers vs. Lions.
