Well here we are on the ‘merry-go-round’ of the Lion’s version of NFL football. Memory seem to recall that the last time the Lions tried to win games based on field goals only, things did not turn out well. Touch downs may indeed be critical to winning.

Looking at the Dallas game statistics, you would think this game was played close until you get to the five turnovers. How farther down the ‘alibi’ list do we have to go? Every team encounters unforeseen circumstances but the Lions have a solid lock on futility. Visions of ending this season at 1-16 is not beyond the scope of imagination unless their version of of self flagellation is contagious and spreads throughout the league.

Yes there appeared to be improvement on defense but let’s see repetition in a few more games. Focus on a ‘running’ game is prudent if a QB maintains poise under pressure. Those of us ‘long in tooth’ remember even B. Sanders was not able to offset the remaining under performing participants.

Sadly, this is not our 66th year of rebuilding but just another version of what has become the ‘Lions way’ of doing business.
