1. Lions had depth. Palmer, Carey, Broyles, Reiff, Hill all did well. Even Green to a certain extent. Lions can overcome injuries. We'll see how they do it in 2013 and who steps up. It's more likely someone does than doesn't
2. Stafford is a good QB and Linehan is a good OC. Not worried for one second about him
3. Turnovers can be corrected easily. Special teams coverage was fixed and Stafford and ball protection by the weapons can and will happen. And I expect more than 0 defensive TDs/special teams in our favor this year. Even 3-4. Split the difference 30 TDs and 14 picks, 12 fumbles lost and 3-4 def Tds in the Lions favor and the Lions win at least 6 more games given how well they move the ball.
4. Avril was a good pass rusher. Wer're not talking about run defense here. His pass rush drop off along with Jackson and Young were very unexpected. And KVB is old but that doesn't mean he has to go from an average player vet to the worst DE in the league. This must be corrected. We'll see how in FA and the draft.
