Not sure if this makes me feel better or not. Likely just makes me feel like Pete, more ticked off at what was left on the table.
Quote:The Lions made three trips to the red zone on Sunday against the
Vikings and went 1-for-3 at finishing the possessions inside the 20-yard
line with a touchdown.
Two of the trips that Detroit made
occurred on possessions that started after turnovers by the Vikings on
the Minnesota side of the 50-yard line. The other occurred at the end of
an 82-yard drive by Detroit, the only time the Lions netted more than
35 yards on a possession all day.
They had one drive. 1! And we can't score more than 7 points. Just like last year, the defense is playing lights out with no help from the offense. Yes the D could have had some INTs and could have tackled better, but 1 fricken drive of more than 35 yards. All the offense has to do is not turn the ball over and we win.

Wasting the best years of this Defense with these offenses.
Hoping the O still has a chaNce to pull it's weight this year, but damn the expectation went way down losing #33.
Keep reminding myself the OL is still improved and they are getting a legit #3 now at WR.
