After the first 21 points you could sense the ‘ghost’ of seasons past.\u00a0 Then things began to fall into place.\u00a0 The first was the ‘stupid’ encroachment penalty giving San Diego an automatic first down and subsequent touchdown.\u00a0 From then on it was “downhill” in a hurry for the defense.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stand back and watch San Diego score a ‘shit load’ of unanswered points.<\/p>\n
We knew the pass defense was suspect but this performance was despicable.\u00a0 And C. Johnson was totally absent from the offense.\u00a0 If pass coverage was that tight with double coverage, who the hell was open?<\/p>\n
Maybe this week was a ‘fluke’ but it could be the start of another ‘Nightmare in the Motor City’.\u00a0\u00a0 Do the Lion’s have any ‘killer instinct’?\u00a0 It did not show up in San Diego.<\/p>\n
Setting aside the final score, the stats tell the ‘real’ story.\u00a0 It’s to early to concentrate on our 59th year of rebuilding but the ghostly apparition of Bobby Lane’s famous curse is in the air.<\/p>\n
