Things around NFL Wk1 that pleased me

[cmlfactor]

And made me feel better about the Lions' loss.

1. Reggie Bush still can't stay healthy
2. Suh already with his first "dirty" play in Miami
3. Seahawks look vulnerable.
4. "Contenders" that also lost: Eagles, Seahawks, and Colts
5. GB only other division team that won. Division is still weak and can be had.

It can be had for 2nd place. GB is still the class of the division, even with top WR gone. Seattle looks vulnerable on the road, unfortunately we play them at their place. Not sure I saw Philly as "Contenders." I expect Bradford to be missing time soon..

Why would a player not staying healthy make anyone happy? It has essentially no impact on the Lions, but you want him to be hurt?

Once Chancellor is back, Seattle is Seattle again. Wonder why Seattle didn't go corner early in the draft, honestly.

Chancellor is a safety though. They needed a backup DE and a Tate replacement (Lockett)

And Sherman, Maxwell, Browner Thurmond etc aren't high picks.

Finding another Sherman, Maxwell, Browner, or Thurmond late would be tough though. Crazy that they didn't address their secondary during the draft, or did they? Maybe they were planning on turning Seisay into their next star.

They're just a different team away from Gillette stadium. Beatable.

Seattle was 3-3 after 6 last year, They finished 9-1 down the stretch. I don't think they are going to be too concerned over 1 game.
