I don't get it. Why is a team who has no wins more dangerous to play than a team who has 1 or 2 wins? Do you really believe that a team who has already won one game is not as worried about winning another? Do you believe that 5-2 teams are already coasting and thinking ahead to the playoffs? If this 0-5 team is so dangerous, were they not dangerous at 0-4 and 0-3? Why did they not win then?
The bottom line is, every game in the NFL is a tough one. No team is going to roll over and not put up their best effort. I understand the sentiment of not wanting to overlook the winless Lions, but being more afraid of them at 0-5 than at 1-4 is ridiculous.
