Just a friendly reminder
#16
(08-21-2017, 06:43 PM)Nately120 Wrote: The Lions did go 4-0 in the pre-season before going 0-16 in the regular season.  However, they went into the season with:


- huge questions at QB and other important positions
- a 4-0 preseason where they didn't look particularly good even though they outscored their opponents
- a middling offense
- a QB in an over the hill Kitna who had 18 TDs to 20 interceptions and an amazing 17 fumbles with 6 lost in 2007
- Drew Stanton and Dan Orzovolosksvovkssoskski waiting in the wings for when Kitna finally fell apart
- the 32nd ranked defense in 2007

Basically, I'm saying that if you legitimately thought that people looked at the Lion's "winning" all 4 pre-season games and started thinking "Wow, this team is great!" I've got a sandbox in Florida to sell you.  There is a big difference between looking good in the pre-season and going 4-0.
But would it actually surprise you if some people thought the Lions were great? You know a lot of people only look at the numbers. Oh! The Lions went 4-0 in the Preseason! Super Bowl incoming! 

You know?
