The Detroit offense is slightly below league-average, with only 1 standout threat and a downright lousy rushing attack. Their defense, however, might be the best in the league. They top the
FO Defense leaderboard by a mile, well ahead of Denver and Miami. I haven't really read anything about the impact that this defense might have matching up with the Pats (particularly their D-line on our O-line). With many games, we don't have too much to be worried about other than "any given sunday" type mayhem, or one of our own guys shitting the bed. With this game, there is a lot about the other team's skills, specifically, that we might well be worried about. They're 7-3, no matter how much Stafford has stunk so far (and frankly, he's in line with his career averages). I think you ought to be more worried than you are.
