… After spending the majority of the season with 90+% of fans believing the Lions were headed in the right direction, this week, that number dropped to 86%—the second lowest percentage on the season.
(But) the Lions have sent a clear message that they’re not feeling sorry for themselves, and at 12-2 on the season, they still realize the opportunity in front of them. And that leads us to our second survey question, will the Lions seize their opportunity to win the NFC North?
In the original survey article, we went into detail and explained how the Lions control their own destiny due to having a tiebreaker advantage …
The majority of Lions’ fans (81%) believe that despite their obstacles, the Lions will take care of business and win the division.

You gotta believe!
In my opinion we have a 100% chance to win the division because there’s no fuckin way the boys are gonna let that slip through their fingers. Expect a blowout this weekend. MCDC will have these guys ready and focused to win the whole damn thing.
We’re going to complete our goal of conquering the division, and then swap our 1 seed for a wild card spot because it’s exactly what we need. #MoldyBread
Win the division and the Super Bowl. That is what I believe.
Don’t we just have to beat Minnesota to win the north?
I’m still very confident we can win the North. Am I stressing it? Yes but I’m not guna give up faith on this team. It’ll come down to the last week & it’ll be a nail biter. We got this.
The other 19% are apparently chronically posting in this sub.
Is fan confidence a metric that puts points on the board?
That is good to see, I swear I read more posts about the season being over after last week’s loss than positive posts, but this is Reddit.
Bruh they’re 12-2. It’s one fucking loss and it wasn’t even a terrible loss it was a shootout like you’d get with the Seattle game. The whole “The loss was damning.” Narrative is dumb…
We got this!!
I believe
One game at a time, please take all the suffering we’ve endured and beat the shit out of the Bears. 🙏

The division? C’mon we still getting that first round bye man
As I see it, I don’t know what to think about the road ahead because I don’t know anything about the guys who are left, at least on defense. If the coaches say they have them ready to win, then those coaches have earned my trust until they’re proven wrong. I don’t have money on the line, so I’m just gonna have some faith and some fun and ride this train.
They starved the Lions at the Coliseum and it made them more hungry for meat. Detroit hasn’t eaten a championship in 67 years. I like our chances.
What’s cool is that it doesn’t matter for the playoffs. Which is wild. Still, we should just win out and get that #1 seed

Just going to be on the offense now. Defense has zero pass rush and less run defense. Heading into the playoffs against top tier quarterbacks will show us just how decimated we are on defense. Therefore the offense has to make up the difference
We still believe we are winning the division, the conference, AND the fucking SUPER BOWL. Get out of here with the rest of this bullshit!
… and if ya ain’t down with that, we got two words for ya…
Vikings next 2 opponents are a combined 18-10; our’s are 10-18. Unless we lose both and they win both, we’ll have a game for the division at home against the Vikes, who we’ve already beat. I feel okay about that.
The other 19% aren’t real lions fans. The real ones have been suffered for the past 20 years at least. Now we’re good and we know we’ll be fine. The fake ones are used to us winning everything so they’re freaking out. Am I happy with all the injuries? No. Doesn’t make me doubt the capability of this team. Just means our road is a little harder currently.
