Fortunately I was unable to see the last two games live on television.\u00a0 Forced to wait for update ‘tweets’ and instant updates on the internet were much less stressful than watching the games ‘live’.\u00a0 However, the summary for both games is that for two teams that should have been handily defeated were allowed to look respectable.\u00a0 Where to start.\u00a0 Stafford was ‘ugly’.\u00a0 The pass rush was marginal.\u00a0 Rushing offence was mediocre.\u00a0 Penalties were still ‘stupid’ and timed for the most negative of effects.\u00a0 Red zone efficiency was unacceptable.\u00a0 These are the qualities of a team looking forward to the 58th year of rebuilding.<\/p>\n
The play-offs do not have a ‘next week’.\u00a0 Unless all the pieces-parts of the Lion’s team come together into a cohesive unit with continuity, the post season will be short and bitter.\u00a0 The finally game with Green Bay would be a good game to matriculate into a contender.\u00a0 Much to my chagrin, I see a cold and bitter winter just over the horizon.<\/p>\n
