I have them at 10-6 too. But Leshore is out for the season (and possibly career) with a ruptured Achilles tendon. And with Nick Farely and Titus Young both injured, none of their 3 top draft picks has seen any valuable time. Don’t get me wrong, I think they’ll be ok. They rolled 4 straight last year without these guys. But, when you’re used to dealing with Lions luck, a loss like Leshore today makes you fall right back into ‘you’ve got to be kidding me’ mode.
I recall a story about D’s top draft pick, many years ago, who suffered his career-ending injury as he got off the bus at training camp the first (and last) time. :’) Somehow it’s hard to avoid thinking about the voodoo woman bit from the late Richard Pryor when mulling over the Lions’ luck.
