Got to believe Lions will at least win both games against the Bears, and maybe the 49ers game as well?

They're playing a real schedule this year and are folding in typical Lions fashion. More evidence to my theory that ANY success this team has is accidental.

The good news is 0-16 is still on the table!!
Dude, there were games where Calvin Johnson was triple teamed but Stafford still threw him the ball and a play was made. Plays where 50 yards were completed in such plays and touchdowns were scored.

I don't care how good or bad the other team is, but if a guy is being triple teamed and the quarterback can still get him the ball, that's a weapon. So far this year, the Lions have not used their weapon pretty much in any quarter.

Maybe because Suh is no longer here the coordinators feel less confident in the defense for when interceptions do happen? But it's not like the Lions are losing games in blowouts so obviously the defense is doing somewhat of a decent job limiting goals without Suh. I dunno, it just seems to me there some risk aversion for no reason and sometimes risk aversion is not the smarter way to play.

You're referring to the Schwartz years. Calvin - when he was healthy - was mostly used as a decoy last season.

That was a close game against Seattle I admit. The call was a game changer but we shouldn't have let the game get that close in the first place to where one call can make you lose. How many times is this done to the Lions? How many times will they let this happen?

Week #4 Stats

0-4
Total Offense: Ranked 29th
Total Defense: Ranked 24th
Rushing Offense: Ranked 32 (LAST)
Stafford Total QB: Ranked 25th

Quarter of the regular season is gone already and we are 0 and FREAKING four smh.

I love the Fords but they should sell the team. It's clear they have no idea what they're doing. The Lions are the worst professional franchise in U.S. SPORTS HISTORY and this season looks no different.

It's almost unbelievable how you can be so bad for so long. It boggles the mind and defies statistical probabilities.

I'm rooting for the Cubs to win the WS so the Lions can officially become the WORST franchise in pro sports.

1 playoff win in 58 years.

Alot of people are talking about the Ford's selling the team. As for yesterdays game... that was PATHETIC. 6 turnovers!?!? At least Stafford got benched. I watched some of the Green Bay game yesterday too and thought "wow... this is what a real NFL team looks like".

Well the Lions finally pull off a win. Even though they went overtime against a mediocre team, at least they will pull of a win in 2015.
