| So Jon Kitna is saying the Lions will win 10 games again. Whatever he's taking, it must be pretty damn good. |

| It might be time to take a step back and play Drew Stanton at quarterback. Jon Kitna isn't the long-term answer. |

| They have to ask if Jon Kitna is really the long-term answer at quarterback. The defense also has to play better. |
| 12/25/2007 | 19 | 19 |
| They won't get the 10 victories Jon Kitna promised. But they're victory Sunday means they won't get 10 losses either. |

| They have crashed down hard. Again, why is it that Matt Millen keeps his job? They were once 6-2. Boy, that's a real fall. |
| 12/11/2007 | 19 | 16 |
| Hard to believe this is the same team that opened 6-2. They have to improve that defense in 2008. |
| 12/04/2007 | 16 | 13 |
| They have lost four consecutive games to turn a promising season into what we expect from the Lions. Losing Roy Williams for the year won't help. |
| 11/27/2007 | 13 | 12 |
| Catch them, they're falling. Hard. They have big issues on defense that show up every week. Plus, they can't protect Jon Kitna. |
| 11/20/2007 | 12 | 9 |
| Are they frauds or just going through a midseason lull? We'll know more Thursday when they play host to the Green Bay Packers. If they lose, the division race is over. |
| 11/13/2007 | 9 | 8 |
| We'll call what happened at Arizona a mulligan. But if they don't run it better than they did down there, they will have big problems. |
