Free Press columnist Michael Rosenberg answers three questions about the Lions.
1) Is there any plausible explanation for the Lions falling behind early the way they do?
I can think of one: They are a really bad team. I'm sure it's a little more complicated than that, but I don't think it's a lot more complicated.
2) After two starts, what do you make of Dan Orlovsky?
He has happy feet and doesn't look terribly poised, but after two starts, that is to be expected. He appears to have the physical skills to play in the league; now he has to prove he can get in a rhythm and lead a team downfield consistently.
3) How and when -- or can -- the Lions actually win a game this season?
They have a real chance to go 0-16. You have to think that at some point, they'll get a couple of early turnovers, grab a lead and ride it to the end of the game. Um ... right? -
Don Banks agrees about the 0-16 prediction. Here's what he says over at SI:
No, for me it's the 0-6 Lions who represent that last bastion of NFL consistency, a beacon of deficiency and defeat amid an almost league-wide sea of uncertainty and unpredictability. Detroit is solid, like a very heavy rock sinking ever lower to the depths, and there's a growing sense of perfect imperfection to these Lions that I'm starting to appreciate.
Poor kittens. They really are an embarrassment to the division.Comment

I never thought a franchise could have been worse than the Tampa Bay Bucs of old, but the Lions sure as hell are fighting them for the title.All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!Comment

Tampa has an excuse at least there was no free agency! lolSwede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.Comment

That was fun--thanks!Teamwork is what the Green Bay Packers were all about. They didn't do it for individual glory. They did it because they loved one another.

When in the hell did Vonta Leach start playing defense?
Didn't he used to be the heir-apparent at fullback during the Sherman era?

He was playing fullback. Says he was being guarded by Daniel Bullocks in the caption.Originally posted by K-town
edit: sorry, didnt check your link. Not sure what is up with that, but they have a picture of him in the endzone trying to catch a TD and being guarded by Daniel Bullocks too."I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious." - Vince LombardiComment

He's the starting FB on their depth chart.
He wound up in Houston when Sherm was there running his ex-Packer - Houston underground railroad.
I thought Houston might make a move this season. They've got some talented kids and a good nucleus, but things crashed in on 'em this year.Comment
