0-5... and the hits just keep coming.

I was in the wonderful town of Okoboji, IA for a wedding this weekend. It was around 1pm when I realized, 'oh crap, I'm 2 miles from the Minn. border! The game is on TV here!'

So I quickly flipped on the TV and to my delight and surprise the Lions were winning! 10-3... niiice. What's this? ANOTHER TD? 17-3. And then it happened. Our boys in blue looked up at the scoreboard and though, 'what if we win? what happens then? we are not use to that... hmmm' and they walked over to the gun rack. Loaded a weapon. And each one of them did their part to shoot themselves in the foot.

Wow... blowing a 17-3 lead all in the fourth quarter. ONLY the Li-downs can do that.

Fun stats.
31. Our rank in Fox Sports power rankings.
24. Our rank in the DVOA rankings.
4. Our rank in the NFC North.
25%. Chance a player listed as doubtful will play. R.Williams is listed as doubtful for week 6.

What impressed me...
- Ohh I don't know. The first 42 minutes of clock time.
- Eddie Drummond's returns, looking good kid.
- Red-Zone Efficiency, 2-2
- Our special teams overall. Blocking an extra point with a normal team in that same situation would have been the game winning play... but this is the Lions.

What made me nervous...
- Long before I turned on the TV... we had multiple players off the field injured.
- Kitna's turn overs... not that he has them. I understand you're going to give up more than average under the 'Martz system' but WHERE and WHEN he does seem to be just AWEFUL! Two of which in THIS game were instant touchdowns. Other times it seems to start the other team in the red zone.
- Kevin who? Wow. 0.8 yards average. You have got to show me something man. If I had my pick I would upgrade our secondary but running back isn't far from it.
- Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers. 5! And we were the visiting team.
- Hakim continues to drop passes! He can make a play every now and again, but he needs to start holding on to the ball when it's 2nd and 8.

Next week. Buffalo Bills
Losman had a similar game to our Kitna. 1 TD with 3 INT and not a bunch of bragging yards. Their RB, McGahee didn't have a great day but lets not kid ourselves guys, they were playing AT Chi-town. Evans had 9 Receptions, Price had 1... thats the WRs catches (their RB had 4) but if he does not spread the ball around, I think this is an offensive attack that the Lions can hold. Our offensive line is about as strong as wet-toilet paper, hopefully we try out a shot gun

Final Thought.
The Bills have beat the Dolphins and the Vikings... but lost to the Bears and Jets. I think after the brutal beating in Chicago the team that wins games will show up to Detroit. It's obvious but if Jones can get his first 100yd game, and we win the turnover battle... it's a win. I'd take the Bills and give up a point though.
