Obviously the Lions offense is not as good, let alone as fun to watch, as the past two seasons when it was like they could score at will and only team that could beat them was themselves. The o-line is now close to being the Achilles heal. On the other hand, I think the defense is the best it has been in these three seasons and probably getting better. We can still win games, but will look different than recent seasons. The season has not been much different than I expected going in, apart from the horror loss to Minnesota.
With NYG, Green Bay and Dallas coming up at home, I fully expect the Lions to be 9-4 and 1st in the North with 4 games to go. Then take it from there. Clearly a notch below the Rams and Eagles at the moment but the playoffs start in2 months.
