Sometimes it’s not how many big plays you make, it’s the big mistakes you don’t make that the other team does. The Lions are not screwing as much as they once did or as often. Yes, there were some penalties, some of which were BS, and how in the hell do they let somebody block a FG? I dunno who it is, but that crap has to stop on ST.
Exactly This isn’t college where impressing people matters because polls determine who goes in the playoffs. After 17 weeks in the NFL, nobody gives style points. All they do is count the Ws
I think some people forget that there are eleven professional football players trying to dominate every play for their team, too. The only thing that needs to be pretty is is that W-L record.
Preseason, I was thinking we could be 3-3 after 6. If we are, I was thinking playoffs, as the last half of the schedule appears much easier.
Picture is still clearing itself up a ton, in terms of who we are really facing, the division is good, and those will be the true barometer. I don’ t think we’re contending for the SB this year, but we damn sure have a good shot at playoffs.
Preseason, I was thinking we sweep GB. I still think we will. 2 weeks to prep for them, with the week 17 game actually being a playoff game (winner gets in) at home.
It was a normal prep week to face New England. If anything it was slightly shorter because we played at 4pm in San Francisco the week prior. Our bye week came before the Miami game.
