Sometimes it's not just about the win, it's about avoiding a devastating loss. Had Seattle lost this game with such an epic 4th quarter collapse it would probably snowball into a doomed season.
Yea, I get this, and I agree.
I guess I'm just not sure how I can be optimistic about a team that struggled to score 13 points against a very bad Lions team (the only winless team in the league), at home, on Monday night.
Yes, we had 3 turnovers. It's not like the Lions did a lot of good things to force those turnovers. Lockett muffed a punt when no one was close to him, and Wilson is channeling his inner Christine Micheal by not being able to carry the ball in his sideline hand or protect said ball in the pocket.
When I say Detroit didn't "force" those turn overs, I'm saying they didn't Kam Chancellor anyone tonight. It was errors by us. We can't seem to clean up our act, and even though the defense played a nearly flawless game, we still almost lost. Our offense is so bad, the defense almost can't carry us anymore. A league average team beats us tonight.
