We STILL have a few people who freak out about stuff that happened to the Saints years ago, expecting it to happen again. They think that at any moment the elegant 4-horse carriage with livery driver that is the New Orleans Saints, will turn back into a pumpkin and rats...not likely to happen...You just have to be calm, rational, and teach them that it's a process, a turnaround, an ongoing thing. It takes a long time to build a team. I still kinda have this grim feeling for you, that the Lions are going to run into a buzzsaw tomorrow evening, probably like you've never seen before, but you do seem to realize it's a building thing and putting pieces together....take that to your boards and preach the gospel! You can be the one who is ahead of the curve.

. . . no, most the time is just the opposite, it's the bandwagon/slappy fans who are so starved for success they can't look at their team objectively and view any less then glowing critique of the team as a full scale attack . . . Suh can do no wrong, Fairley is a ProBowler, Kevin Smith is an AllPro running back, it's not our guys - the refs are against us . . . it's seeing the world through honolulu blue & silver goggles and they can't accept any accountability for our professional athletes. Just go on a Detroit board sometime, you'll see what I mean . . . WhoDat!656 will tell ya' . .

go Lions.
