Who else likes our odds a little more now getting past this huge wildcard game?

Anyone thinking beating Detroit at home is easier than beating Green Bay on the road, regardless of matchups, is off their rocker.

For whatever reason the Lions give us problems. We should've beat the Packers last year, they have had problems with 4-3 defenses (see Buffalo), we seem more focused on the road and Rodgers will not be 100%. Nothing is easy, but watch where the money goes in Vegas. The line is 6.5 now, I bet it drops.

I think the players were overlooking past the Lions as they did not look prepared in that 1st half. I think the media and the fan base hyping them up really hurt there preparation this week.. They will be more focused next week since they know that not many are picking them to have a chance in that game.

I don't think the media and fans are a factor in how they play. I really don't. They got off to a slow start. Fortunately, they recovered in time. Road Warriors. Let's go.

Watching the game, it felt like the players didn't settle down until the 2nd half. The team is very very young, with only a few players with playoff experience. I think the game and build up got into their heads a little.

Against the Packers they cannot start off the same way, especially on the road. It will be tough as every playoff game is, but I really do believe they can learn and grow from this experience.

IMO, games like today can do wonders for a team's psyche. Our team already had confidence riding into the playoffs on a four-game winning streak and as division champs.

But now, after overcoming a double-digit deficit like that after sputtering out of the gate? That locker room is going to be tighter than ever; a real brotherhood with an unshakable belief in itself.

Meanwhile, Green Bay has been sitting at home -- maybe losing some rhythm? -- and has an injured QB.

For the record, I consider Green Bay the favorite and, when not looking at the game through my fan eyes, anticipate them winning (I obviously anticipate us winning when looking through my fan goggles!). But you got to like the way we head to Green Bay...

I think we'll come out a bit more sharp against the Packers. I think it's going to be a barnburner, but a good game.

I am more confident against the Packers with Rodgers on 1 leg than i was today honestly!

Teams with stout defenses i am not confident against but GB hold no fears for me in what will be a shoot out and we will win this in a high scoring game as the Packer defense is terrible.

Murray is a LOCK for 100+ and Dez will not be shut down by their pathetic secondary.
