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.
