The Lions went 4-0 in the Preseason! Super Bowl incoming!
- 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.
You know?
