I love the Lions being 5-0. But I don't see anyone beating GB for a SB win again this year.

Seeing the raiders 5-0 would be better, but I agree withthe above statement. Seems every year theres a team or 2 that comes out of nowhere and this year its the bills and detroit

The Lions didnt come out of nowhere. Stafford is healthy this year. That is the biggest difference from last season. The D is stepping up huge too but it's the same core guys as last season.

They did and thye didnt. They finished strong last year and was hopeful it would carry into this year. Staffords health/durability was/is a concern and I believe the running game was also questionable. The defense is a young unit and is still improving and it helps that calvin johnson is having an insane season so far.

The bills we all figured would be in the sweepstakes for the #1 pick this year.

Thats what happens when you have the 1 or 2 draft pick every year since Barry Sanders has been gone.... you can only draft so many freaks before your team makes a turn around.

Well they drafted a gazillion WR's at #1 and finaly got it right with megatron, I think Best was an excellent pick and I think Suh is going to be one of the best DT's in the league.

But the best move they made was firing matt millen

Oh please, they have had one number 1 pick and three number 2 picks in the last 10 years.

Impressive, I think they stole the Eagles' mojo.

Nopt sure the eagles ever had any, they just signed a bunch of big name guys and the media wanted the nfl to hand over the lombardi trophy, forgetting you actualy need to play the games first.

The Eagles ALWAYS shit the bed. Always. Like clockwork. They just did it 5 games into the season this year.
