Armi,
It's all Martz' fault bro - his schemes always give up a lot of sacks

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
