On This Day Fourteen Years Ago….
It was impressive, but at the same time, at the same time it still felt like "ok, it's the Lions". Which is pretty hypocritical considering a PRESEASON win against the Raiders a few weeks prior had really gotten my attention.
When they went on the road the next week and destroyed the Eagles, for me that was the first major regular season clue that things were starting to feel different than usual, even though the Eagles were without McNabb. That was a game where I had only got to watch the first half and had to leave at halftime to be somewhere.....and by the time I was back in my truck, the post-game show was on.....and I remember being a bit shocked hearing the final score, particularly considering it was only a 4 point lead at the half.
