Gotta admit, it makes no sense to me either.

its called being a lions fan. we always expect them to be a surprise, then about midway through the season.... same old lions :/

Reminds me of the NCAA tournament where almost everyone picks the same sleeper team.

It's a setup for failure if you ask me. What constitutes our season being a surprise? Winning 8 games? 10? A surprise is like the year the Rams weren't even picked to make the playoffs and won the superbowl that year. I see us making steps in the right direction but non-fans want leaps and bounds................ Don't know about all that. As long as we get plenty of pressure on opposing qbs, Stafford is healthy, and CJ gets his catches then I'm great.
