“I try not to listen to people outside these doors,” said wide receiver Nate Burleson, who returned Sunday from a broken forearm. “Everyone inside the organization is what we try to focus on. At the end of the day, if we win big, people are going to praise us and pick us for the Super Bowl. If we lose, then people are going to say that these Lions suck and it’s
the same old Lions.

Umm..its not just that the Lions lost, but HOW they lost, and who they have lost to, which was very reminiscent of losing Lions teams of the past. If the '13 Lions play like MOST of the teams of the 60s- '00s, then yeah they ARE the same old Lions, who STILL have to prove otherwise, which this team has yet to do for any extended series of games, much less the entire season.
He is not the first Lions player to ever say something like that either, I have heard or read the same or similar from assorted Lions players ever since the 70s.
