End of Days: The Lions Are Legit

Consider a few little nuggets:

  • Lions blitzed only time last night.  Yet Aidan Hutchinson had eight pressures and 1.5 sacks.  Six Detroit defenders had at least five tackles.  This D is deep
  • All four of the Lions first four picks are having meaningful impact indicating this team and their GM might finally know how to build predictable success through the draft.  What?!  Btw -- Sam Laporta has more receptions (22) in his first four career games than any tight end in NFL history. The only tight end with more receiving yards than LaPorta (242) is Hall of Famer Mike Ditka (315).  Also, Brian Branch, team leader in tackles, might be the absolute steal of last year's draft
  • Lions have beaten GB four straight times, including twice in a row at Lambeau under the lights.  That makes Lions 11-3 since their disastrous 1-6 start to last season.  An amazing turnaround.  Chicago/Minnesota are jokes, so the NFC North is squarely in Detroit's control today
  • The Lions fan base has awoken.  I was impressed by the turnout of Honolulu Blue at Arrowhead.  But yesterday at Lambeau was ridiculous.  I'm guessing 20% of that stadium were Lions supporters

Start buying canned food and fuel.  Something is happening.
