Embarrassment Ensues, Welcome Back, Same Ol’ Lions!

Penalties, sloppy tackling and a general malaise, which are likely to be considered as associated with playing outdoors in the rain (away from the comfy confines of Ford Field, I might add), all contributed to an ugly, embarrassing, and deflating road loss for the Lions today. What Was I Thinking, Dee-troit?! The Lions achieved some measure of history, by losing their 25th straight road game, after previously setting that mark with a 24-game road losing streak (twice). The Lions are now 4-37 in their last 41 games. Jim Schwartz is also now 4-21 in his 25-game coaching tenure, which is a much less then auspicious beginning, in my book. In my eyes, the Lions should absolutely be ashamed of their lack of effort and numerous mental errors. They played much more like an 0-8 team, than a team who had a solid argument to suggest that should be 4-4 at the season’s midpoint.
