Pretty crappy batch of forums. Sooo.... If you know of any I missed, please post below.

I hope they can bring attitude...in another teams house....but make no mistake that Detroit is not low hanging fruit...the players need this game... for them...they need attitude...they got the horses already..but I think the Lions win. IMO

Was talking to the Green bay fans and they already played them. If the kicker actually could kick, they would have won the game. I am not sure how this plays out....but I am going.

go hawks.

on a side note....a friend of mine told me about the Henry Ford Museum and I will be spending half a day there on Monday before my flight out. It looks fascinating. He has family in the area. I almost would rather spend Sunday there too...but alas I have a ticket and there will be Seahawks there.

So?
Our #13 ranked rushing O vs Lions #26 ranked run defense
Our #30 ranked passing O vs Lions #4 ranked pass defense

Their #16 ranked rushing O vs our #14 ranked run defense
Their #23 ranked passing O vs our #1 ranked pass defense

If we could the ball the way we have been running the past two games, we win.

Vegas likes the Lions by 3...hmmm...Their turf...same records...playoff maybe's for both...they have the better RB...the Hawks have a better QB...they have a just as good or better OL....the Hawks have the better DB's...but once again Their home game...gonna be a good one...but if I was betting $...Lions...but of course GO HAWKS... :irishdrinkers:

After the effort I saw our Hawks put up against the Rams, I'm not counting this version of our team out. We got a tough, tough schedule staring us in the face now though. Glad most of 'em are at the Clink though.

3 points is the homefield advantage that gets applied to almost every team. So basically, even odds.

I looked at some of the Detroit posts. Seahags this, Seahags that. Pretty 10-years-ago- stuff there. Oooh, it hurts. :roll:

Ten years ago?

Try 1976, it was one of the first things I heard and read said by other teams fans. very original.

I didn't want to seem hyperbolic, but you're right. What else would we expect from Detroit people, though? I imagine their bars still serve all three beers - Bud, Bud Light, *and* Miller Lite! (An actual quote from a bartender when my previous company sent me to the Midwest the first time...)

In Detroit now. Been a long time since we've attended a game.

Anyone have an estimate of how far in advance we should arrive? Definitely not familiar with Ford Field.

Thx in advance. Go Hawks!!!

is chat still down? or is there a new server?
