Reggie Bush isn't shy about putting his new teammates on a pedestal. He followed up Monday's declaration that the Detroit Lions should have the No. 1 offense in the NFL by saying his new team should be considered Super Bowl contenders. "Honestly, I don't think we're far at all," Bush said Tuesday, via MLive.com. "We have the guys here to be able to win a Super Bowl." A groan could be heard out of Detroit after that second sentence. Taken out of context, that might sound like another prediction, but Bush continued: "There's a lot that has to go into this season, this team, this offseason, before we can even think about that," he said. "Right now, we just have to think about doing the little things right and coming together, building that chemistry that's going to help us coming down into the season when we're down by a touchdown in the fourth quarter with a minute to go and we have to drive a whole football field. Those little things right now are going to help us during the season." Bush wasn't the only one touting the Lions' chances this season. "Well, you have to go into every season expecting you have a chance to win, and we do," Lions vice chairman Bill Ford Jr. said Tuesday, via the Detroit Free Press. "And then we'll let it all be decided on the field. But I very much like the talent and the coaching staff we have together." Source: NFL.com
bush probably needs to just shut up for now. he hasn't had time to really soak in all of the dysfunction in that organization before suggesting something.
I think the Lions could surprise some people. I wouldn't bet any money on it but they have a pretty okay team. Stafford(when healthy), Megatron, Reginald, Pettigrew. And on D they have some scary good players like Suh and Fairly when healthy. Honestly, this is one of those teams that should be decent but constantly get in their own way and find ways to heck things up. They're like the New York Mets of the NFL. Them and the Eagles.
