Now, don't get me wrong, this week's win against the Vikings was excellent. It was exasperating, it was inspiring, it was stress inducing, it was only possible against the Vikings. This is the pattern for the Vikings so far this year, and you know what, I'm not gonna complain. The Vikings are 0-3 after blowing three straight games when leading big time at halftime.
However, if the Lions were down by twenty to the world champion Green Bay Packers, they would have just poured it on and the Lions could have lost by thirty or more. If they were playing the Pats and were down by twenty at the half, it could have been worse. But it wasn't, thankfully. I know that the Vikings are fast starters so far this year and can't close the game even against a college team, but the fact that the Lions had that many problems against a team that is so much worse than them, it's scary to think about what is gong to happen when they play good teams.
The big factor from what I saw was their inability to stop the running game. I know it was against the best back in the game right now, but it was hard to watch what little bit I could when I was on lunch at work today. I don't think Jim Schwartz will be happy with the way the team performed today, but a win's a win.
And I'll take them any way they come.
