I'd like to see the Lions against the Patriots when the Patriots actually played all their starters. 7 (count em) 7 of their defensive starters weren't at the game. I watched the game. The Patriots offense wasn't doing anything other than evaluation, even when their offense had mostly starters on the field.  Now let's say the Patriots starters are there. Their d then makes it harder on the Lions offense to move the ball. The Patriots get a chance to have their offense on the field more. This makes the Lions D have to take the field more...and the dominoes start falling. Your analysis of pre-season is spot on. Don't crown them a winning team until they actually show it in the regular season.</blockquote>
