People just don't realize how good this team really is. As the season rolls on, they will. Stafford took alot of licks yesterday, and he kept rolling. Johnson was a beast. Pettigrew was a freight train. The rookie Young, was snatching balls out of thin air. Just wait until Fairley joins Suh on the D-line this week. I think I just shed a tear for every QB that plays against the lions this year.

Lions fans, kick back and enjoy this season. It's gonna be great!

Stafford saved their asses - and put them into a tight situation at the same time.

This team needs a lot of work, but they've grown up a lot and no longer seem to have a loser's mentality
Yeah, we still have room to improve but, we're on the right track.
SanDeigo got down 17 to the same Viking team. They start off a game like a playoff team. The old Lions would have sat down and let the Viks win. This team doesn't quit.

Yeah, his offense can only be ran successfully by Curt Warner. I don't know why people don't see it. It might work for a little while but, it always falls apart when the QB gets beat up too much.

There are only three quarterbacks with a better quarterback rating than Matthew stafford:
Drew Brees
Aaron Rodgers
Tom Brady

All three are Super Bowl MVPs...

I like the Lions this year and expected this kind of success when they reeled off 5 straight wins from last year especially since they got Stafford back, but I do agree the hype does need to die down a little bit. As a long time Lions fan I've learned to expect dissapointment... Wish we had AP for our running back though... http://thevikingage.com/files/2011/0...onstiffarm.gif
