Thanks for reading and commenting everyone. For all of you upset about my comments on the Lions, I love you, but calm down. The Lions are this year’s favorite team and you’re all wearing your hearts on your sleeves and I get that. I’m rooting for them too! I want you all to keep in mind that this is an off-the-cuff article where I express my impressions and thoughts shortly after the games occur. As for coming from behind, the Lions came from behind this week and there was much todo being made about that. My comment was not that the Lions have come from behind in many games this season, but that the come-from-behind win is less impressive than the keeping-the-lead wins. I wouldn’t call me analysis “erroneous.” Never did I say that the Lions have so far been coming from behind for wins, but more predicting that they will be doing so in the future. Please try to remain calm everyone.

Tim in Indy, thank you for the comment and for remaining calm. I have actually been to Indianapolis (my wife went to college nearby), and I’m certain they will do better than Dallas did last year. I just don’t understand the NFL’s point of view of taking the SuperBowl to cold cities that do not seem to have the attractions for a major sporting event.

Aaron- You’ve been called out over and over on your erroneous analysis about Detroit, and your Indy comment, as well…

Aren’t you going to respond?

Aaron I am by far not an Indy cheerleader. As I am not a Colts fan but live in Indy. You’d be suprised Aaron when it come’s to sports events (NCAA Final 4 hosts multiple times). Indy does a great job and will easily out do Dallas attitude last year.

In fact Aaron downtown Indy is laid out perfectly to host sports events. The stadium, hotels, bars, convention center, other hosting events are LITERALLY all within walking distance of Superbowl stadium. You could fly into Indy take taxi to hotel and not have take a cab rest of superbowl week tri. I understanbd they are putting up some kind of blown up tent walkways around steets with fire pits for weather. With all annoying construction going on right now downtown. I will be happy when it’s over. PS: Even a strip club within walking distance downtown SuperBowl.

“As for the run game itself, Grant by far had the better day, but that was because of the defensive play of the Bears and had little to do with the runners.”

Oh, when Grant was on the field, they didn’t try to stop the run? Grant is the better RB in Green Bay. Has good vision and gets what he can get, which will always result in more consistent ypc.

I never understood the hype of Starks. He is not a great runner. He runs upright and bounces off tacklers instead of enforcing the hit… also why he will always be an injury risk. This is also the same guy who averaged 3.8 ypc last year in 110 carries and 3 starts. He is nothing spectacular.

Um… did you actually watch any of the Lions games? Even the highlights? “All your Lions are firing on all cylinders right now, but you have to watch out for teams that are making their money in consecutive fourth-quarter comeback wins.” The Lions were ahead of the Buccaneer and Chiefs for the entire 4th quarters of both games.

Wow, what is with all the Browns hate

“A one-point loss to the putrid Browns is exactly how a team with a bad attitude and a low talent level performs.”

You wouldn’t start Peyton Hillis? Or any other player? And the team is stale? So they should have drafted Julio Jones instead of filling numerous holes on the defense.

The NFL is not Fantasy Football, you need to have a defense not just score points.

Go easy on Indy. May not be New Orleans or Tampa, but what an improvement over what was there. What a great way to turn around a city. That stadium is HUGE when put up against the location. (PS – I’m not from Indy and won’t be there so this is not a homer comment.)

MY Lions lead Tampa the whole way in week one and blew out KC…not sure what the consecutive comeback wins are that you’re referring to.
