People are ragging on the Lions and mocking Kitna's "we'd be disappointed if we didn't get 10 wins" (note: he's not predicting 10 wins, which people keep claiming he did. He never did), but damn...do you see how much that franchise is improving? They're an O-line upgrade or defensive upgrade away from being contenders. The only problem is Kitna isn't the QB for the future, especially not the way he's being manhandled. He's a warrior, though, he'll last.
But if you look at the way they're growing variances in their offence...they basically pounded the ball against Dallas and almost came out with a win. They were one fumble away, too bad about that one.
Seriously, if you can go toe-to-toe with a Superbowel favourite like that it's no longer time to call it one of the worst franchises out there. That's purely the Oakland Raiders, now.
GO HAWKS GO! Returning to form, if without a running game. I wouldn't have believed it before this game, but they're becoming the dark horse candidate for the superbowel.

But as I said before, those playoff teams and the Steelers who have an upcoming game against the Pats (#1 defense anyone?) will know where to start.
Good thing the #1 D Steelers knew where to start, amirite? Imagine they didn't, then maybe the opposing QB wouldn't end up with a stat line that reads 4 TDs, 0 INTs, 0 sacks and a 69.6 completion percentage.
They allowed two 50+ yard TDs, 63 yards to Randy Moss and 56 yards to...Jabar Gaffney.
I'll repeat it again for those who still haven't noticed, you can't stop the Pats, the Eagles were a fluke no need to gloat, taking away Randy Moss doesn't work, and even with a crippled running game they're still the best offence in NFL history.
I wish people could just enjoy it more rather than be so frustrated by greatness.
