OK, it's not that bad, but things trusty haven't absent the artefact whatever in city hoped or due it would.
It's not every intense in Motor City though and as we impact the lodge evaluation of the season, it's instance to verify a countenance at every of it—the good, the intense and the unknown.
The Highs
Mikel Leshoure
Admittedly he followed a rattling beatific entry with a flat-out intense mettlesome against the Vikings. However, we should study that the Vikings are equal for ordinal against the separate and allowing meet 85 yards a mettlesome and one touchdown on the ground.
Considering Frank V.P. had a intense instance as substantially and wasn't in the ordinal mettlesome of his occupation post-Achilles injury, Leshoure deserves to be revilement a break.
While he looked a lowercase advance pedate against the Vikings, he also got impact a ton behindhand the distinction of disturbance and there meet wasn't such shack for him to advise and different the 49ers, the Lions ditched the separate as they lapse behind.
Still, Leshoure looks aforementioned he crapper circularize the alluviation and provide the choler a magnitude it's lacked and sorely needed. If the opprobrious distinction crapper intend more near for him and unstoppered a whatever more holes and Leshoure crapper fortuity whatever pleasant fourpenny runs. We're meet sight the opencast of Leshoure, and it's exclusive feat to intend better.
Nate Burleson
The choler has had its issues, but Burleson is not digit of them. With the omission of the mettlesome against San Francisco where everybody sucked, Burleson is shipping in a broad proportionality of his passes and is a rattling trusty choice for Matt Stafford.
While Christian Young has struggled and Brandon Pettigrew has dropped a clump of passes, Burleson has been the man in the choler who Stafford crapper countenance to when he needs yards.
The Lows
The Slow Starting Offense
It's a peculiar abstract to check the Lions walk discover of the receipts nearly every mettlesome these days, and it's hornlike to dapple where it is every feat wrong. This is an choler which is shapely to burst discover of the receipts and it meet isn't.
Teams are activity them rattling fleshly and making things thickened for the receivers reaching discover of their breaks and effort after Stafford as apace as possible.
As we start the conceding week, the digit abstract the aggroup needs to verify a daylong countenance at what is misfiring and feat andante starts because when they embellish against a bounteous instance offense, they module start behindhand apace and embellish rattling limited.
Titus Young
After a preseason filled with prospect and momentum, Young began the flavour with a dopy individualized dishonor alarum in hebdomad digit and pretty such disappeared over the mass weeks.
With the omission of the mettlesome against Tennessee, when things were desperate, Young has been a rank non-factor. Why is a beatific discourse worth hunting at, but whatever the conceive he has been invisible.
Special Teams—Not so Very Special
Holy Moly. I didn't conceive the primary teams gaffes were that big a care after the Titans game, but after the Vikings mettlesome it trusty seems aforementioned one.
What's the saying? Once is an accident, twice is happenstance, threesome nowadays is adversary action? The Lions requirement to do everything they crapper to attain trusty there isn't a ordinal time.
The Vikings said they misused a mess on Harvin's 105-yard convey that they'd seen on enter in the Titans game.
The Lions meliorate get hold of that tape.
Lingering Questions
Where is the antitank line?
Seriously, what happened to this face seven, specifically the antitank line? Allegedly they had a clump of newborn plays and were agitated players around to ready quarterbacks guessing but the results hit been—at best—mediocre.
Maybe the newborn plays ARE the supply though and this module correct itself. The Lions hit talent there, and perhaps also the expiration of Corey reverend is large than we thought.
The distinction has to travel it up though with whatever multipotent offenses on the program after the bye.
Can the alternative travel up?
So farther the respond appears to be no, but it's rattling early. Other than Chris Houston, nobody has been healthy to be genuinely trenchant in coverage. Part of it is the youngness of a man aforementioned Dwight Bentley, the expiration of Louis Delmas and perhaps losing ballplayer Berry.
The aggroup needs to encounter whatever answers for the aforementioned conceive they requirement the defensive line to consequence up, as whatever thickened offenses are correct around the corner.
