Monday Morning Quarterback

Well I just have to rant about my team....seems they have lost their luster and have lost 2 games in a row, at home.  I just want to know where the fans were yesterday, they had a chance to be so loud to to help disrupt the Falcons offense but it seems they were a non-factor! 
The Falcons offense actually practiced all last week with jet engine noise being pumped in to simulate the loud crowd at Ford Field which definitely impacted plays for Chicago and San Francisco the previous two weeks.
Ohh well, it could have been worse, they could have played the New Orleans Saints yesterday!  Wow 62 points!

So anyway, now the Lions at 5-2 are two games behind the Packers and only one game ahead of the Bears in the NFC North with important division games against both teams coming up on November 13 against the Bears in Chicago and November 24 against the Packers in Detroit, but hopefully they can get back to winning and bounce back this weekend against a struggling Denver team who beat Miami in OT yesterday.
