Nightmare scenario

[StickyBun]

Packers vs. Lions in the NFCC game. Somebody has to go to the Superbowl. I'm such a ray of sunshine this morning!

Living in MN?

Packers getting to SB would be the nuclear option vs Lions. 

I suspect 49'ers will be getting their mojo back and will be a tough nfc out.

It's hard to root against the Liedowns. Their fans are generally pleasant enough. If any team has had it worse than us, it's Detroit. The Puke should get every bad call against them for the next 100 yrs. and be forced to use their long snapper as the emergency QB every week.

I can't begrudge a lions fan,  pretty sure it was lions fans that invented the paper bag over the head gag.  I would have no problem with them winning one.

Chiefs, Lions, Bucs,  anything other than  those three and I'm disappointed all the way to pissed.   Definitely don't want to see puke, bills, or niners win it.

Hell no to the Lions. We need company in the “teams that have never won a superbowl group”.
If the Lions win one, we remain the punching bag in the NFCN. Two is company.

My preference:

1. Ravens, Chiefs, SF, Bucs (in no particular order)
2. Texans, Bills (distant third out of spite for the Packers. They get this spot being in the AFC.)
3. Packers (very very distant third)
4. Lions (you cant even see how far back they are even if you used a telescope)

Got this nagging notion we are supposed to root for them both to go Super Bowl so they get a worse draft pick.

I am all in on the Lions for the NFC, I really like the way they have rebuilt their team and give them a lot of credit.  49ers are one of my least favorite teams as well as Puke of course, but interesting enough I do not find myself having that usual extreme disdain for them where the sight of their uniform makes me want to gag.  I have come to realize that it was Favre and Rodgers who I really despised more so than the team, so I am actually rooting for a Lions/GB final.  

In AFC I really want to see the Bills finally do it, that fan base is one of the best in football and it would do so much for all of upstate NY for them to win it, I think every company would have to close for a week cause it would just be one long out of control party!

Lions Vs Pack would be awesome. I hate the niners and the pack are fun to watch for me now that Rodgers is gone. Both teams have drafted well and it is interesting seeing all that young talent emerge.

You are assuming we will select the right or impact player with our high pick.
Plus we could still trade the high draft pick to either the Lions or Packers for peanuts.
Its not like we have not done that before. Imagine a scenario where they make it to the SB or win it and still end up with our high pick from a below par trade.
Again… just saying
