Well, well here comes a dose of ‘reality’ to our optimistic version of the 2014 Lions brought to you by the NFL schedule.\u00a0 Anyone notice the the Chicago Bears are not dead and buried?\u00a0 The Lions resurrected visions of the ‘good ole days’ of harmful penalties, poor pass protection, questionable play calling and\u00a0 an untimely doses of the dropped passes. \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 Two trips to the ‘red zone’ with 6 points as a reward.\u00a0 Have to admit Prater’s ricochet shot was a moment of excitement.<\/p>\n
Green Bay continues to preview a contenders performance.\u00a0 Optimistically, Chicago could be\u00a0 a split and New England goes directly to the ‘L’ column.\u00a0 Tampa Bay and Vikings should favour the Lions but never discount the Lion’s failure to execute.\u00a0 A 10-6 season at best with a chance for a 11-5 performance.\u00a0 This portends the vision of another first round play-off elimination.\u00a0\u00a0 Oh well, we still have our 59th year of rebuilding to look forward to during the cold winter months and following spring of fan optimism.<\/p>\n
