Are the Lions better than the Bears? Absolutely. But I suffer from something called PLSD (Post Lions Stress Disorder). If you grew up watching them - you know. I recall a game in 2000. Lions were 9-6 - taking on the lowly 4-11 Bears at home. All they needed was a win against those lowly Bears and they were in the playoffs. Then Bears rookie kicker Paul Edinger lined up for a 54 yard field goal with 2 seconds left. His longest, to that date, was 51 yards. Wouldn't you know, he nailed it. Not only did it mean no playoffs for the Lions, but the Lions fired everyone and brought in Matt Millen - didn't make the playoffs for over a decade. That's kind of what I expect today -- a crushing disappointment. Sorry, this is a life time of PLSD. I hope I am wrong, but always expect the worse with this curse.
