Hey Slo, Your Lions looked great today. Congrats! Reggie is probably a good decision, no?

Yeah, thanks. I was kinda' skeptical at first, but he'll win me over with more performances like that & by staying healthy ... Reggie & Joique Bell looked good enough back there yesterday, I may even predict wins against Green Bay and Chicago this year,

From what I saw, the D looks like a more cohesive unit and are aligned with Ryan's scheme. They look like a team now instead of a bunch of players trying to figure out what the hell their supposed to do.

Just think how much better (if there is such a thing) Calvin will look when defenses will have to bring a safety down to cover Reggie out of the backfield.

For Real? I dunno yet. But that was some debut for the coach, system, and rookies.

It looks like the D is ranked 17 (1 yard off 16) for now. That's about where I was hoping they'd be. This is for yards allowed.

Got a video up on NFL.com about our defense being "real" or not. not hard to look better when ur the so-called worst. just imagine when foster and tez gets back and our offense puts more pressure on the opposing team.

So far a big improvement.

The bad thing about that excuse.... You can't draft out of it and injury won't save you. When the coach is weak, the play calling is weak, and the team in the end is weak.

Maybe but they've had more success under Mike Smith than they've ever had before. And while I'm saying good things about them, (GAHHH!!) Matt Ryan is a very good QB. I know his record in the playoffs is terrible but I don't think it's because of him. It's a team game after all.
