Detroit Lions remain unbeaten Calvin Johnson, Matthew Stafford Unstoppable



The Detroit Lions are real, and the sooner we know, the better. 

Three years ago, lions were as real as a show of David Copperfield in Las Vegas. They were slow on the ball, not attack, always inspired and lost draft picks. For the first time in franchise history went without a victory. A once proud franchise in a city were prouder still the Lions die miserably.

But after the 0-16 debacle in 2008, the Lions began to build.

Matthew Stafford Detroit in the first row of the selected entry draft in 2009. Stafford was a great guy with Georgia, the praise for his natural talent was armed, but to win some questions about his ability to throw every time, and his inclination to listen. Then the Lions went out and got Brandon Pettigrew and Louis Delmas. How a game revealed on Monday evening, Pettigrew was one of the top football ends firmly and Delmas is already a small security elite.

In 2010, the Lions veteran DT Kyle Vanden Bosch, a corridor of passage and a senior member signed. Detroit also drafted the defensive rookie of the year and reached Suh Ndamukong Jahvid Best, the top speed and his own imitation of Barry Sanders in the backfield written.

Finally, in 2011, always ready to depth to an already formidable line of defense, the Lions of Nick Fairley, an animal that loves to run to add the filling against the quarterback. And do not forget to Tito's young. The rookie from Boise State shows all the signs of a true slot receiver opposite Calvin Johnson, the greats. And then, of course, was LESHOURE Mikel, a rookie from Illinois, whose objective is to he broke his Achilles tendon in the preseason, better lightning thunder.

But become as talented as the lions, they are still young and immature. For a large part of the first quarter Monday night game against the Chicago Bears, the Lions have been very impressed and said sanctions unnecessary. They were undisciplined, now ready for prime-time football, they were a football team that appeared 4-0 0-4.

But coach Jim Schwartz, whose swashbuckling style and authoritarian, stern voice is clearly the team and he got his young defensive line on the right track with the help of defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham veterans.

In the second half Lions have launched a lightning defense. They were poor, were physically and, more importantly, were relentless. Jay Cutler Bears had no rhythm, because every time he left to start, either on the ground or so confused that made bad decisions.

And as dominant as the defense of the Lions is a violation of the team is just as dangerous, if not more. In only its third year, Stafford has increased error-prone pitcher smugglers animation. Stafford has thrown 13 TDS (second in the league) and only four interceptions - he is an infallible Pro Bowl. He is calm in the pocket, is an excellent pre-and post-snap reads, and unlike most young quarterbacks, it tends to lock the first option.

This option is, of course, Calvin Johnson, or "Megatron". Seconds Drafted in 2007, Johnson is the inescapable presence in the league and MVP potential. His nine touchdowns in five games is a record in the league. His 38 touchdown passes since 2008 also leads the league. He is big, fast, can jump, has amazing hands, and, oh yes, it's very, very big.

Johmson Stafford and soon developed a dynamic relationship. Randy Moss, as in his early days and Patriot Viking Johnson just her hand and Stafford knows everything that has to do is pull - Johnson will do the rest. The pair dominated the shot back, shoulders and the streets disappear.

Stafford has what every young quarterback and greed: a safety valve at tight end. Pettigrew is, however, much more. There is a new kind of sporty and agile set (the Jermichael Finley and Antonio Gates). You can adjust the field or in the slot and can be locked to be. When Johnson's earlier this season, Pettigrew a superstar in the making.

And then there's Jahvid Best. The concern has always been a better size, or lack thereof. A tiny 5'8 "slipped to No. 31 on draft day, especially because scouts would not have thought he could use as an operating system. The best is clearly a writer, but not limited to, as CJ Spiller.

Against an ailing but still very respected Defence Chicago Bears - Brian Urlacher and Lance Briggs, which includes - The best moments in notches attacks to break and sealed the game. However, averaged over 13 yards a carry between the plates after ESPN Statistics and Data Processing.

Motor City, a professional football team can be a 5-0 victory in the Super Bowl. The organization of the Lions held the worst record in the NFL in the last ten years, and the team does not have the playoffs in 11 years. This is his first start in 55 seasons 5-0 - not quite back to Henry Ford and the Model T, but almost. The largest stadium in the history - induced false start penalties in nine out crowd of 67 861 Chicago Monday night in the Ford electric field sales -. Detroit can and will support a winner.

Some might say that Monday was another football game, or that the bears are not as good. It was not just a football game - the first time Detroit has hosted a Monday night game in 10 years. For a city that suffered what Detroit has, has, meanwhile, is 5-0 with the observation of the whole nation is big business. The Lions are still a very young team and one or two years of the true contender status. But the mere fact that we say that - well, that's fine.

The NFL is a league of parity, season and so far Detroit is the proof. Either way, the Lions will be here for long: The six core Pettigrew, Suh, Stafford, at best, Johnson and Fairley only 24 years old on average. Will only improve.
