Well if the team on the ground can't get the job done,might as well reach above for some help from a higher authority to try and stop Brady and Co.

I'll echo the sentiments of one of the commenters:

Well, they need help form a higher power at this point, so all the more power to them. Does this make matt millen the anti-christ?

People seem to forget that a much lesser Lions team gave the Pats all they could handle back in 2006. Sure, they're playing without their quarterback, but they still have a pretty good offense and a capable defense. They're playing at home in front of a national television audience with absolutely nothing left to lose. Dangerous game still.

They did play each other tough in 2006, but the two teams are still radically different from the last time they faced off. Have to keep that in mind.

I will agree with you though that this is one not to be taken lightly. Thanksgiving is basically the Lions' Super Bowl every year and they usually play inspired football on that day. I'll never forget when the Lions crushed us in 2000, a game which saw Brady make his NFL debut, and he looked every bit like a rookie in the little action he saw.

O god, that 06 game....lions were killin them then two straight kitna passes to vrabel and a fumble later and it was over.

It may be their Super Bowl. But, since they beat us in 2000. They were actually the better team that year. They have gone 1-8. Usually getting blown out.

I say Tate. Turkey day would be a good day to get his fourth KR to the house.

And for the record I am aware how many he has now

I'm going to go with Rob "Stinko"Vitch. Would love to see Tate tear it up though.
