A “joyous twofer”, Lions style

Written By: marvinudy - Nov• 14•22

As a die hard Lion’s fan, it’s easy to take comfort in a two game win streak. Let’s face it, Green Bay had a really bad day. The look on QB Roger’s face said it all. He looked like he was actually pouting which would be an appropriate reaction to losing to the lowly Detroit Lions.

Where and why did the ‘swarming defense’ finally show up and harass Rogers? Some mysteries will only be answered by historians.

Now on to the Bears game. Why did coach Campbell decide to initiate the ‘little league’ defense in the first half? Aside from the fact that a ‘running QB’ has a very short half life in the NFL, this was beyond embarrassing. The offset to Field’s 167 yards rushing was the Bears benevolent contribution of stupid penalties when they really counted, ala Lion’s style.

Yes, it is only a two game ‘win streak’, but sometimes joy comes in small packages when most needed to generate hope going into our 66th year of rebuilding.
