This kind of reminds me of how they started the 07-08 season when Roy Williams was yapping about how they should be scoring 40 ppg in the Martz offense and they had Kitna guaranteeing a playoff birth. I believe they started the season off at like 6-2 and then collapsed to a 7-9 season. Now I think this team is perhaps a little better than the one back then but this Detroit team is starting to show signs of major regression. They are 5-2 now. I never expected them to win the division in the first place and I think we have the chance to out play them the rest of the way if we can beat them a couple weeks from now. I think they end up at 9-7/8-8 and still have a chance at the last wild card spot available, along with the Bears. I haven't figured out how the Bears season is going to go, still waiting on these next 3 games because I think that will determine whether they will have a legit shot at making the playoffs.
They have got to go atleast 2-1 I think in these next 3 games to put themselves in fair position. 3-0 puts us in the drivers seat. 1-2 we are on the outside looking in, and 0-3 pretty much puts us out of it.
