Ask John Niyo about the Lions

If we did but we didn't!!!

Greetings once again John...Well Coach Schwartz has said it time and again, the only thing that matters is winning...a fact not lost on beat writers and supporters who had chalked the game against the Rams as a win ...seems noone told the Rams.

Is there an excuse ..should we look for an excuse ...maybe there were some positives ...what can Schwartz and Co possibly salvage from this wreckage?

So this is the deal ...yesterday the Lions nation witnessed perhaps one of this franchise's lowest moments in its history...but sometime before this season has finished we will witness a victory that will be talked about in the great State of Michigan for as long as Football will be played.

I just can't tell you which game just yet but why do I make such a prognostication? ...simple...the day Stafford and Johnson and Pettigrew and the rest of the receiving corp as well as those who run the ball out of the backfield " just click " and at the same time the Defence stands up ...that will be the day it will all come together ..and it will!!

Thanksgiving, maybe?
