LOL it certainly matters. I won this argument easily showing the missing weapons for Baltimore. You are just too dumb to see it. Take your medicine and prepare to eat crow this season.

You build on wins. Lions 4-0 finsih in 2010 helped for the 5-0 start in 2011. Hot matters especially wihtin the season. It's called confidence.
You know the whole here we go again mentality with the Lions. Winning 3-4 in a row would get rid of that quickly.
You just learned something today dubbsco. Hope it sticks with you.
Lions also won two straight heading into the Pittsburgh game and the rest of the season. How'd that work out?
Momentum is BS. It's made up to make people like you feel better. If momentum was real like you describe, teams wouldn't win 2, lose 3, win 1, lose 4, etc... It would be winning 5 in a row, losing 5, winning 6. That would be TRUE momentum. It doesn't exist between weeks.

There was a team last year that won, then lost, then won, then lost. And repeated that for most of the season. Can't remember who, but it was a story for awhile. Shouldn't they have the big MO after a win? Or shouldn't they be crippled after a loss and tailspin into 5 more?
It's not real. It's made up.

Lions had turnover issues to kill their momentum and some major injuries while other teams got healthier.
Lions have the depth, are holeless and have great coaching and schemes. Expect a 10-11 win year and a deep playoff run.
Tier 4
Pathetic, have to agree with the main reason he got ranked so low, the passive meh persona, teams take after thier HC, lions just went from one extreme to the other out of control hot head to a passive meh 1 extreme to the other...I do like the assistances though hopefully they can help offset the boring meh guy

I like that Caldwell is cool and doesn't let his emotions get the best of him. Schwartz was a raving lunatic at times. Do you miss that?

Caldwell is a good leader that can get alot out of his players. He is motivational and a players coach. Underrated play caller with Ravens with a great playoff run. But Lombardi is doing that job. Has a good standard for coaching QBs obviously to get them to improve and limit the turnovers.
Challenges and time management (use of timeouts) is where we need to see good things. And be smart when going for it on 4th down. And don't go for too many fake Fgs that fail.

"Caldwell should have known better, because he made the same mistake during the regular season at Jacksonville, using two timeouts during the Jaguars’ final drive and helping Jacksonville set up a game-winning field goal. Caldwell didn’t learn from that mistake, and the Jets benefited on Saturday night."

That's his biggest mistake in his career. He learned from it since then I'm sure. Good time management coming up.
Your logic is based on hopes and dreams again. You HOPE we won't have any time management issues. There is certainly evidence that exists that says we should at least have some concern about it. Maybe we will, maybe we won't. You could very well be right, but the fact that it's been an issue in the past with Caldwell makes it reasonable for us to wonder about it.
Yes people can learn from mistakes. They don't always do that though. We HOPE they do. You also are DREAMING that the Lions will be up 21 points in the 4th quarter of games.
There's no question Caldwell blew that call against the Jets. Afterward, his explanation added to the perception that he was a confused mess in crunch time.
"I didn't care," he said postgame. "I was going to make sure that they couldn't … make them snap the ball. They were in field-goal range. We wanted to try to make them snap the ball as many times as they possibly could."
I would much rather have him say, "I made a mistake." Own up to it.
