Take the time to explain please.
Certainly I favor my team, but I am far from a homer, or just blinded by the colors.
4 games in the Lions were considered a top 5 passing and (I believe overall)offense in the NFL... that was held to 3 points.
Well they barely beat a very bad dolphins team, they looked weak against a pathetic eagles team, the new york game was good but still a loss ( I think that if they were a top level team they would have found a way to win one like this), and the Detroit game was great.
Don't get me wrong I think the Commanders are good this year but saying they are better than the Packers at this point or any other good 2cnd level team is just premature, IMO. Im not sure the Lions are as good as advertised, they have show some serious weaknesses in the past few weeks before this game so its not like they were a proven winner.
I think the Commanders are going to be good and probably get better but just becuase they beat the Lions today does not mean they are the second best team in the NFC...competing for the 4th best sure...maybe 3rd...but second best...nah...
So thats why I think they are not the second best team...
