Right now, I'm really concerned that the Lions are the real deal. I'll be keeping an eye on their game (at home) against the Saints.

That Lion defense is really playing well. When you read their quotes in the papers here in Detroit, they talk about feeling like no one can score on them. They talk about how aggressive and confident they are.

You talk to the Packer defenders, they're talking about adjusting schemes and keeping to your assignments and adjusting to the offense. It's a depressing comparison.

Now, the Lion offense is struggling, and Johnson probably won't play again Sunday. But their offensive line though not playing well now is probably better than GB's, and I'd rather have a team that has a stellar defense and whose offense is coming along and has potential, especially with a receiver like Megatron.

Dammit.
