Okay, I get it, I get it. Sure those Lions weren’t the 0-16 Lions of last year.
Sure those Lions were only 0-2 this year.
Yes those Lions had 16 new starters, and a new head coach, but is that the best excuse we can come up with for why we lost?
“Well, they were a good team; better than people give them credit for.” That’s our response?
How are we ever supposed to beat “good teams” if we console ourselves after a loss…if we justify a loss by saying “oh, well, they were a good team.”
