I know many of you think this is a walkover game of sorts, and some don't, but this is not the same team.

Case in point-

1) Shoulda won the Bears game. It was a catch, pure and simple.
2) Name a blowout this year or walkover? This team has been playing much better football and everyone of our games came down to a possession or two. The last few years, the game only mattered in the first or second possession as we were down by 14 with 11 minutes left in the first usually.
3) The talent - Suh is a beast and VandenBosch has brought good leadership. As a matter of fact, quick, how many starters from last year's game on our Defense our starting tomorrow? The answer - 4. Avril, Delmas, Levy, Peterson.
4) This team is young and is going to lose its share of close games but how can you guys only score 17 against the Bears with 6 turnovers?
5) We're 1-5. We used our starter for half a game, our backup for 5 games and our 3rd stringer for half a game.
6) I'm not comparing your loss to St. Louis and our win. Any given Sunday rule in effect. You guys had a bad game, we had an awesome game.

Sounds like a bunch of excuses -- don't mean to sound rude but at the end of the day, you have to make plays, not excuses.

Here's one -- you have Calvin Johnson!!! arguably in the top 3 wide receivers in the league, we have nothing, squat at receiver. It is so bad that we had to let an underperformer go because he was doing even less than the last few years he's been here. Our current running backs were pulled from the practice squad. Our #2 and #3 receiver are 38 and played in the Intense Football league respectively. We have a completely new coaching staff, new offense, new defense, new QB -- everything is new AND WE ARE 4-3. By rights we shouldn't be doing this well but we are because despite all these issues, we have found ways to win, the Lions haven't and that's what matters in the NFL.
