For the Detroit Lions, the perfect season is halfway done. They may not face a bigger trial than they faced yesterday in Chicago against a Bears team that was ready to give the Lions their first win. And give the Lions credit; they scored 23 points in the second quarter on the road and still managed to snag defeat from the jaws of victory. I’ll admit that I was worried. Having the perfect season rest in the hands of Rex Grossman is not something I’m accustomed to nor is it something I would normally wish upon a team. But Grossman proved me wrong, threw two touchdowns, and kept the perfection in tact.
Aside from Calvin Johnson putting up decent numbers for my fantasy team, I don’t think I’ve asked for too much from the Lions. So I’ll keep it simple; mail it in. The checks will keep coming regardless. Stop trying and make this season a year of perfection. I know bringing in a guy like Daunte will make the appearance that the Lions are looking to improve. They aren’t. If Daunte was anything close to consistent, he would have already been playing for a team that doesn’t have a zero in the win column.
Jacksonville, you’re up next. You already screwed it up and gave the Bengals their first win of the year; don’t be that team that screws up perfection for both Cincinnati and Detroit.
