Lions are slowing laying beating on NE tonight

An old Redskin corner, Martin Mayhew is the GM there now and he's built a good team, mainly through the draft. If Stafford can stay healthy and their secondary holds up they can be a wild card team.

It's not just here, they have their share of detractors all around the league.

I always root for the underdog. Pats have had more then their fair share of the spotlight. Time to back the f out.

Yeah it's more than a two team league. It gets kinda boring seeing the same teams in the SB every year and fans start getting obnoxious when their teams always win.....unless it's the Redskins of course.

One thing I noticed about the Lions in my brief glimpse near the game's end was how even their third-stringers were making technically sound tackles. The seem to be a well-coached bunch.

They all said the same for New Orleans and TB also

Lions are legit...Chiefs are legit, Bucs are legit....are the Redskins legit? I think so.

I agree with you on all counts, but still not sold on the Chiefs.

The Chief looked like crap against the same Ravens we played well against.

If Stafford stays healthy I could see the Lions being competitive. That's a big if though, believe it when I see it.

Eh. Preseason. NE looked like crap last night. I don't think anyone is worried about them.

That said, I think losing Charlie Weis to the Gators hurts the Chief's offense. He had great rapport with Matt Cassell.

Chiefs have a hungry young talent. As long Cassell has Charles and Bowe he will be fine.

I agree that the Pats take preseason much more seriously than most contenders, and that they often run up the score in preseason games. I don't take this beating as an indication of New England suddenly on their way down. I believe it's an indication of how solid the Lions might be. They have studs on both sides of the ball.

Agreed ,IMO once a shoulder goes bad it hard to fix.Su needs to watch out he's good ,very good but if he keeps throwing people down he's gone be tagged a "dirty player".

I agree with you, they have built their team in the right way. When you do and are patient you reap the rewards.

Wouldn't get too worked up about this game. The Patriots will be fine and I fully expect Detroit to do well this year. They are also doing some good things and are building in the right direction.
