I do, and they are, BUT remember that Jon Kitna is not an elite passer, he's got a weak offensive line and no running game.

An average offense, and a horrible defense a good team does not make. Had we beaten Minnesota in week one last year, we would have been 3-1 heading into week five. And with all the deficencies that team had, it would have made no difference.

I think Kitna deserves a little more credit than that. He threw for 4200 yards last season right? He's no Manning or Brady but those 2 are in their own class. He's a pretty good qb. Horrible defense, yes. What does this mean? It means we need to put up some points b/c they are going to score a little. We should win this game but the Lions i don't think are horrible.
