I’m not saying tomorrow's Thanksgiving Day game against Green Bay will be close, but after a decade of losing the Lions look headed in the right direction. A lot will depend on QB Matt Statfford, who is doubtful for tomorrow’s game. Quarterback is by the most important position and Detroit will not have a wining season until they have an above average QB. The reason to optimistic is they drafted much better this year without Matt Millen in charge. Rookie Brandon Pettigrew ultimately might turn into the NFL’s best TE. Their second and third round picks are actually 2nd and 3rd on the team in tackles. Second year player Calvin Johnson looks like a top WR. If the Lions can get two impact defensive players in next year’s draft, add another in free agency, then maybe you’ll see them on TV more than once a year.
