Let's Have A *Contest* Detroit Lions vs Green Bay Packers

lawnmowerman

I have been rooting for the Lions to have that perfect 0-16 season ever since it became a possibility. In their case, it was after the first game but that is beside the point lol

I have nothing against the Lions. I am actually kinda torn between wanting them to win and wanting them to lose. If they win, the true champions of the 0 for season, the Tampa Bay Yuccaneers, will be able to stand alone with their glorious record




If they lose, we get to see a team go 0 for 16 for the first time in 32 years when the Yucs went 0-14 in 1976.

All that said, the contest is simple. Pick the winner of the game between the Lions and the Packers tomorrow. You must also guess the final score. The game is being played in Green Bay.

The person closest to the correct outcome is the winner. In the event of a tie, guess which team's D will have the most sacks.

The only stipulation to play is, everyone who wants to play has to post a scan of a graded card to this thread. If it's not graded, it needs to be something nice...no crap! No commons! Stars or semi-stars only!

The winner of the contest will win all the cards offered up by the other members.

I'll update the list as we go.

Let's have some fun !

Edit to say oops. I just realized we are supposed to donate a card to the contest. I don't have the card below, so I'll have to withdraw.

Maybe the Lions will get a highlight card like this in the 2010 Topps set.

Hi Matt

Hi Rube



<< <i>Come on you whimps...this will be fun >>



No Wimp here, just a 44 year old Michigan Native that finds himself rooting for Wolverine Alumni across the NFL, because except for Barry Sanders the Lions have sucked my entire lifetime.

I know I'm going to look like a homer but I just have this feeling that the Lions are going to win a tight game.

Lions 16 Packers 14, with the Packers 4 sacks.

Matt, just wanted to clarify one thing:

The Lions did successfully get rid of Roy Williams. That's a win in my book. So worst case, they go 1-16.

I'll make an exception for you Steve.

Man I needed that 69 yard field goal so that GB has a better chance of getting 31 points.
