I know many of you think this is a walkover game of sorts, and some don't, but this is not the same team.

Case in point-

1) Shoulda won the Bears game. It was a catch, pure and simple.
2) Name a blowout this year or walkover? This team has been playing much better football and everyone of our games came down to a possession or two. The last few years, the game only mattered in the first or second possession as we were down by 14 with 11 minutes left in the first usually.
3) The talent - Suh is a beast and VandenBosch has brought good leadership. As a matter of fact, quick, how many starters from last year's game on our Defense our starting tomorrow? The answer - 4. Avril, Delmas, Levy, Peterson.
4) This team is young and is going to lose its share of close games but how can you guys only score 17 against the Bears with 6 turnovers?
5) We're 1-5. We used our starter for half a game, our backup for 5 games and our 3rd stringer for half a game.
6) I'm not comparing your loss to St. Louis and our win. Any given Sunday rule in effect. You guys had a bad game, we had an awesome game.

Lastly, was out with my wife last night for dinner and there were 3 tables of Redskins fans at a restaurant about 30 minutes outside of Detroit. Had a enjoyable banter with them back and forth. Nice peeps, from the Virginia area in town for the game. Good luck today and good luck with the rest of the season. At least, one thing we will agree with today - the Cowboys are REALLY, REALLY going to suck this year!

Greetings and welcome to the forum LK. I would be surprised if you found anybody on this forum who considers this anything but a tough game. Good points all, and you are correct. This is not the same Lions squad. They are definately doing the right things.
GOOD luck to you and the Lions on every other day than ...this day.
