0-4: Where's The Roar?

Well, the Gridiron Greats didn't quite pull it off, but since the Detroit Lions haven't won in Wisconsin in the previous 19 years, I guess we shouldn't be too surprised.

The Packers led 28-14 after Charles Woodson (please pause for a moment and put your hand over your heart for the University of Michigan player who won the Heisman Trophy back in our last National Championship season) scored early in the third quarter, but the Lions were able to cut the lead to two points before the Pack ran out the clock.

What can I say? We've lost 20 straight in Green Bay -- dating back to the final year of the Bush Administration. That's George H.W. Bush, which means we haven't won in Wisconsin since before Bill Clinton was president!

But the Lions continue to look much more dangerous than they have in recent years. Unfortunately, wins count, not looks.

So we are 0-4 for the first 25% of the season, and 0-3 in our division. Not the start we were all hoping for. But hey, there's still 75% of the regular season to play.

Better yet, the Red Wings start up this week. 

And best of all, the Wolverines haven't lost yet... although that Michigan State squad should be really, really tough on Saturday.

That's the beauty of sports.

At least we've been in the games- a bad call away from 2 wins (the non catch in the end zone 2 weeks ago and the lack of pass interference call last week). Another good draft and some off season trades and we may even have a winning season next year. Matt Millen was a good player but not so good GM.

Yeah, Matt has 4 Super Bowl rings as a player, but a not-so-stellar record at all levels (especially the W-L column) as a GM. It'll take a few more years to evolve into a better team.
